GIVE ATTENTION TO THE JUDI
CIARY TICKET.

all voters should be interested in
the choice of justices of the supreme
court There are six candidates
whose names appear on the Non
Partisan Judiciary Ticket, which will
be found on the last column Of all
ballots. Of the six candidates five
are republicans and one, Seth Thorn
as, democrat. The republican news
papers of the state have a great deal
to Say about the fact that Mr.. Thorn
as is democrat. Some of them
have done this in spirit of fairness
and in harmony with the purpose Of
the non-partisan judiciary law, while
others have been bitterly partisan.
The fact is, Mr.. Thomas is forty-one
years of age. His character, habits
of study, thoroughness in prepare
ton, and large experience in import
ant litigation particularly fit him for
the position. If elected he will make
a studious and impartial judge. All
voters who are interested in giving
to Iowa truly non-partisan Supreme
Court will vote for Seth Thomas.

pART1sANsHIp AND COURTS.

For many years members of the
profession of law and the enlighten-
ed element of all parties have looked
forward hopefully to the time when
the judiciary of our state govern
ment might be emancipated from par
tisan politics. we have witnessed
the gradual adoption of the policy III
surrounding states, but not until the
present time has Iowa responded to
the call for non-partisan bench.
The politicians have been against it
and it is not by any means certain
that they are not against it yet 1t
is because they want a comfortable
bench that they still insist on par
tisan bench?
A bench made up of members of
but one party may be nonpartisan, it
is true, but the ideal nonpartisan
judiciary is court consisting OF
members of both or of all parties and
elected with regard to the upright
ness, capability and learning of the
jurist candidate and not at all with
regard to the element with which he
associates in general politics.
Among the six candidates nominal
ed for the supreme bench there is
one-a brilliant and highly cultivat-
ed lawyer-who is democrat in pol
tics. The other five are republicans,
There are three judges to elect. The
democrat is Seth Thomas of this city.
Mr.. Thomas is in the early stage Of
middle life. Much of his profession
al lie has been spent in practice be-
fore the appellate courts. He has al
so practiced in all of the district
courts within reach Of the FIT. Dodge
bar. In addition to being a lawyer
of the first class he is one OF the
most popular citizens Of Ft. Dodge
and a cultured Christian gentleman.
Personally he is above reproach. !.
AS member of the minority par
ty the politicians have been particu-
larry active in opposition to Mr.
Thomas. But among the people who
know him and among that important
element of all parties which stands
for a non-partisan>, judiciary his
strength is made manifest by the
fact that in the judicial primary he
stood third in the race. :"
The judicial ticket on the ballot Of
the coming election will be found in
the right hand column of the sheet.
The republican column is on the left
of the sheet and the columns-of the
other parties intervene in the order
of their strength at the last election.
1t is necessary for voters to remem-;
Der this so that after having voted
as they choose for the political offic-
ers they may not overlook the very
important non-political ticket.
There are three judges to be chos-s
en- from among six candidates, and
vote for Mr.. Thomas will be the very
highest expression of faith in the
principle of non-partisan judiciary.

DECATUR COUNTY'S TWO HIRED
MEN.

Two years ago Decatur county hir-
ed two men to take charge of their
business affairs at Des Moines. One
of them was Mr.. Geo. w. Clarke,
whom they elected governor, and the
other was Mel F. Thompson whom
they chose to represent them in the
legislature.
Now, Des Moines is a booster city,
and tries to make Des Moines the
largest city in the state. Entirely
unknown to the people Of Decatur
county, they suddenly presented the
Capitol Extension bill and it was
passed before the voters Of the state
even knew there was such bill pend
ing. 1t was endorsed and signed by
Governor Clarke, who made it law,
when by vetoing it the bill would not
have been passed. MI. Thompson
voted and worked against the pas
sage of this bill, but his vote was
not sufficient.
This bill costs the taxpayers of De-
catur county over $4,000. When
the public learned of the passage OF
this outrageous eXtravagant bill, in
dignation meetings were held all over
, the state The Leon Commercial
Club, an organization of business
men and boosters, consisting of more
republican members than democrats.
appointed a committee to see if some
thing could not be done to prevent
the carrying out of this outrage, but
it was Of no use. and you, Mr.. Tax
payer, must foot the bill.
One of these men did wrong, and
did not represent the people who
were hiring them We leave it to
you to say which one it was.

SHOULD ELECT CONNOLLY.
w. j. Bryan Urges Voters of Iowa to
Send Democratic Candidate
to Senate.

In a signed article in the October
Commoner, Secretary of State Will
liam Jennings Bryan, pays eloquent
tribute to Congressman Maurice Con-
molly and appeals to the voters of
Iowa to send him to the United States
senate. Mr.. Bryan says:
! 1.-The voters of Iowa on November
g will exercise the right of direct
vote On the office of United States
senator for the first time. They are
afforded choice of four candidates,
viz: Congressman Maurice Connolly,
of Dubuque, democrat; Senator A. B.
Cummins, of Des Moines, republican;
Casper Schenk, of Des Moines. pro-
gressive; and Rev. Mr. Sturgeon, OF
Des Moines, Independent. The Com
mOner, with full knowledge OF the
Iowa situation urges all citizens OF
whatever political view to work and
vote for Maurice Connolly.
AIR. Connolly was born in Iowa
thirty-eight years ago, and was edu-
Gated in Georgetown, Cornell and
! New York universities in this coun-
try, and Oxford and Heidelberg
abroad He has the knowledge
CLEANED by world travel and the con-
duct of business affairs and the legis-
lative experience accruing from a
term in the house of representatives.
He is so highly esteemed at home
that his county gave him the largest
majority ever recorded there, and his
district, republican since its organiza-
ton thirty years ago, made him its
first democratic representative. He
Sc, hy,n hn irif nf m vi
can institutions, and is one of the
most democratic of men, affable, toll
Grant and genuine. He is an orator
of note, and is member of the board
of regents of the Smithsonian Insti-
tute.
"The keynote of Congressman Con-
nolly's nature is sincerity. He is fir
ed with genuine zeal for the welfare
of men, and his heart and soul are in
sympathy with the ends of President
Wilson in seeking to serve. He has
supported the president steadfastly
on every roll call, and has rendered
valuable service in promoting among
house members knowledge of the ad-
ministratiOn's purposes and SYM
pathy with it's aims. He is regarded
at Washington as one of the admins
tration's dependable friends and one
of the party's rising men. ~
''Mr. Connolly is resting his appeal
for election solely on the record of
the administration. This was the
keynote of his speech as temporary
chairman of the state convention at
Council Bluffs. There he declared
his willingness to stand or fall with
the president, and he is telling his
every audience that he would regret
his defeat more as constructive re-
pudiation of the president than as a
blow to his own ambitions. In this
statement he is manifestly sincere.
Iowa has faith in the integrity of
the president, in the wisdom of his
views and in the patriotism of his
motives. Putting Connolly in the
senate will give the president one
who will work in double harness with
him there as faithfully as he has
worked with him in the house, and
one who will join him in every effort
to carry out the administration pol
icies. The voters of Iowa should
elect Connolly on November 8 to the
United States Senate @

In Iowa taxes have practically
doubled in the last four years and if
Governor Clarke and his associates
on the republican ticket are reflect
ed, in all probability will be again
doubled in the next two years. Tax
payers throughout the state, irrespec-
tive of politics, should vote for John
T. Hamilton and the democratic state
ticket, who are pledged to economy
and not extravaganza. A word to
the wise is sufficient.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1914-10-29

Mr.. Taxpayer, which do you favor?
George w. Clarke and extravaganza
in state administration, with conse-
quent high taxes, or John T. Hamil-
ton and economical and businesslike
administration, with consequent re-
duced and equitable taxes? If you
are alive to your own interests, your
answer should be a vote for the en-
tire democrat tic ticket on November 81

NEW YORK. July with trading
comparatively light during the forenoon,
price levels on the local stock market
today became irregular. The changes
recorded. however. were only fraction
ally different from the figures which
prevailed at yesterdays close, and
showed losses or advances which ranged
between Is and L a point. American
issues in London were slightly below
the prices established here yesterday.
No cause other than the technical
position OF the market could be ascribed
by brokers fer the unusual rally which
the market passed through yesterday.
The impression still prevails that the
market is sold out and a strong under
tone is displayed which it is believed
viii prevent marked changes until some
event. such as the Interstate Commerce
Commissions rate decision, is brought
to bear upon trading.
Southern Pacific. yesterday one of the
strongest issues in the market, con-
tinued to advance this morning. and
Northern Pacific showed small gains.
Lehigh Valley, Union Pacific and United

showing reCesSions.
