WARNING TO ALL VOTERS
Feared That Many viii Overlook Ne
eessity Of Voting Two Tickets on One
Ballot This Year-JudieiaI Ticket
Apart From Partisan Tickets.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. 21.--A good many
of those who are sincerely interested
in maintaining the integrity of the
courts fear that in the heat of politics
there will be too many who will over
look the need of every voter really
voting two tickets on one ballot this
year. The fact that the judicial ticket
is separate from the party tickets will
never reach the minds of good many
voters. Only constant dingins 1t into
them will arouse a large number to the
importance of the judicial election.
In some of the judicial districts there
is little local interest in the judicial
candidates. But IN every precinct of
the state the contest is on for the state
supreme court. Judges Laid. Withrow
and Weaver. the present members who
are up for reelection, must of neces-
sity remain on the bench hard at work
daily, for this is busy season with
the court.
About all that can be done now is
to urge that all voters remember not
only to vote their party tickets but
to look over into another column and
pick out their preference for judicial
positions.

ordinary county and township funds.
The result is far more gratifying that
the trainers of the law had ever sup
posed would be the case There was
much fear expressed that the law
would bring in such an insignificant
sum that it would amount to little. But
1t is found that this state bonus is
having the natural effect of stimulat-
ms local boards and encouraging
greater activity in road building. The
next legislature may raise the sum and
increase the state bonus for highways.
1t is found that smaller proportion
of the fund derived from automobile.

and for the highway commission ex-
