WILL THE COURT BE "oEeaApEp7r

Election day Will come this year on
Nov. 8, two weeks from next Tues
day. The voters will be asked to elect
three members of the supreme court Of
Iowa and they will find IN the ballot
the names of six candidates nominated
in a non partisan primary. The Times
Republican believes that two of them
should, under no circumstances, be
thought of for supreme judge; one
because of his record and the other,
Thomas. because he is only four years
out of law school. Three of the candi-
dates, Weaver, Withrow and Laid are
now on the supreme bench and seek
re- election, while Prouty is the con-
gresham from the Des Moines district.

pressed by F F. Dawley. president of
the State Bar Association, who said
in his annual address upon this sub
ject, being applauded by the large as
senblage of lawyers present:
Men who would not have dreamed
of presenting themselves to any ju-

asking for a nomination, have pushed
themselves in and obtained nomina-

Most men will believe that the pres

whom he had in mind and most law
yers who heard him believed that they
too could name the one candidate who
could have prompted such an express

Dawley. Whether or not Mr. DawIey in

TWO AsNp rwo TOGETHER.

lDes Molnes Register and Leader1
Attention 10 being called to the con-
spicuous announcement inserted by the
democratic state campaign committee
in Its paid advertising:

and Other State Issues?

Iowa City"
This announcement has set q num-
Der Of people to putting two and two
together and they have been asking
some questions that are bound to at
tract notice in the closing days Of the
campaign.
1t is true as is claimed in this an
nouncement that 1t was Mr.. Brant who
first saw the possibilities OF cam
paign against capitol extension. and !.
was in his newspaper that the raid was
begun. But how did Mr.. Brant Lap.
pen to be anxious to start campaign
against the governor? And why Ia it
his newspaper that the democrats are
paying space rates to advertise to the
readers Of the state?
What was Mr.. Brant doing in Des
Moines during the last session of the
Legislature? What was he doing dur
ing the session before! He was in
Des Moines thru both sessions, con-
slant attendant upon the legislature.
How did 1t happen that he was able to
leave his business for two entire win
ters. and at whose expense?
We do not know that there Is any
reason to connect these questions with
the other questions that have been
asked about Mr.. Hamilton and have
not yet been answered. whether Mr.
Hamilton's name can be found on q
saloon petition in Cedar Rapids, ans
| whether his name appears on the
country record In connection with the
| ownership OF a building rented for sa-
loon purposes.
But the two sets Of questions dc
happen to suggest each other. ant

while there are automobile smart
Alexis who stick a banner on the back
of their cars bearing the insult "Ex-
cuse Our Dust" and then proceed to
violate the law in order that there may
be sense in the placard. If they don't
drive faster than the law limit there
will be no need of the banner on the
car, and II they do 1t ought to be the
duty of every law a hiding owner of a
car to file complaint and teach him
the lesson he deserves.
Referring to past expressions on this
question we have asked Seyeral law
abiding owners of automobiles what
they think of law holding q driver
criminally liable for any injury he may
do others while driving. and all agree
1t is time for such a law. Last week
we passed the crossing at Mitchellville
where two parties were killed few
weeks ago. The driver Of the motor
car was driving west and for eighty
rods before reaching the crossing he
was going down a slight incline, while
for over hundred yards beyond the
crossing he could all the time see any
motor car approaching either on the
highway or a train on either railway.
There was not even the limb of tree
to obstruct the view. All he needed to
do was to look straight ahead. And
yet the accident proves something.
What? 1t proves an apparent lack of
any care on the part OF the driver OF
the motor car.
Sometimes, too, 1t will be as illegal
for motor cars to race on the highway
as for two fools with spirited horses.
It's in the air. And we will have still
more to say about the kind of people
who indicate an intention to violate
the law by raising the banner Excuse

1t is contrary to the state law for
an automobile to pass a vehicle Of any

and yet 1t is being constantly done
by drivers either ignorant or wilfully
disobedient to law. Only few weeks

boy so small that he vas doubtless
below the automobile age drive car
past a horse at the Intersection of
Fourth avenue and Broad street. This
mere kid not only violated the law as
to passing a horse and buggy at the
intersection, but he did more. Both
he and the buggy were going east
ward, and the kid In the auto wanted
to go south. So he violated the state
law in passing the buggy at an In
tersection and violated the law OF de-
cency by turning south In front Of the
horse. compelling the owner OF the
horse TO come to complete standstiil
