National Committeeman First Choice
Of Democrats for Governor.

National committeeman FirSt NnoiSe
Of Democrats for Governor.
Des Moines. July 12.-Wilbur W.
Marsh, of Waterloo, national commits
teeman, is the man the democrats OF
Iowa, will nominate for governor at
the next election, according to n. r.
Reed, United States marshal, demo-
cratic wheelhorse and state chairman
Of the party for years.
Mr.. Reed declared that the demo-
cratic organization is strongly In favof
of Mr.. Marsh's candidacy. He also
declared he is confident Mr.. Marsh will
agree to make the race. In fact, MI.
Reed intimated that the new demo-
cratic leader has already consented to
make the race.
Have you heard OF other demo-
Gratis for the nomination." Mr.. Reed
was asked.
"Oh, yes, there are several replied
Mr.. Reed. but Mr.. Marsh is the can
didate all Will back when the time
comes. Mr.. Marsh is a big man. He
does big things in a big way. We arc
confident he can be elected against any
republican so far mentioned as can
didate. Democrats expect to win Ia
this next election"
How does the state democratlc or
ganization stand toward Mr.. Marsh ?"
the marshal was asked.
The organization is with him. He
will be the choice If he will consent
to run. That's the observation-disclosures
he will consent"
Have you talked with him about
!t?'
"Oh. yes"
Were you satisfied"
YES"

simply putting on . good front he will
be unable to pose as an unfortunate
who made his first misstep and Is suf-
fering for 1t. The fact that the re-
peater is opposed to the indeterminate
sentence is believed by many to be one
of the best arguments in favor Of the
system.
TT seems to me that any criminal
code, at its best, is an arbitrary instru-
ment. For instance, IL a man steals $40
he may be given an extreme penalty of
thirty days in jail, or be f1ned 500;
while If he stole one cent more, he may
be sentenced to ave years In the peni-
Tertiary.
Responsibility Upon the Prisoner.
'As step from the positive inflexible
sentence for crime to law giving the
judge discretion within certain limits
was an advance. so another step In the
progression Is taken by the enactment
Of a law which places the length Of the
sentence upon the criminal himself. his
past history. and his apparent willing
ness and ability to leave the error Of
the old life and live as others live.
Under the indeterminate sentence act,
instead of making the code maker or
the Judge decide when the man shall
get out Of prison, 1t puts the main re-
sponsibility upon the prisoner himself
When man keeps the key to his own
prison. he is soon persuaded to fit it to
the lock-
Il am informed that the legislature.
just closed. has taken still another
forward step by authorizing the board
Of control to allow prisoners wages, at
not to exceed the standard rate for the
work done, deduct therefrom part for
their maintenance, and from this allow
ance a part of the wages may be sent
direct to member of the family de-
pendent upon the prisoners for support.
or it may be deposited to his credit so
that when he is released he does not
go out the prison walls a pauper.
ut is needless to add that in my
opinion the indeterminate sentence law
should not be repealed. but that it
should be improved as experience in
Iowa and elsewhere points out where it
is subject to Improvement"
