Referring to the bill introduced into

port aays:
This EFFORT to Subject. wage earners
into involuntary servitHde has aroused
the determined resistance Il of ware
earners generally. To their declara-
tons against involuntary servitude,
the proponents Of legislation have re-
piled that aItho . strike would be made
illegal under the law, yet individual
workers were not deprived Of the right
to quit work.
1T is pure sophistry, that only aug
ments Of the sense OF the Injustice that
wage earners may feel for Industrial
wrongs to allow them bylaw the right
as individuals to quit work and de-.
clare that they can not agree with fell
low workers that conditions are so bad
that their only sense Of justice and fair
dealing lies in the agreement between

possess the advancement Of two mem
bers of a law firm, not especially noted
for learning or probity, over other law
firms in Iowa scarcely appeals as wise
and to most minds carries suggestion
Of improperly.
Another peculiar and suggestive de-
is that wet newspapers and wet poll
texans are urging 'one vote for
Tneophilus' as example the following
from the Manson Democrat:
While the instructions on the ballot
are to vote for two" do not do So
vote for one and one only, and let that
one be William Thebphilus.
Why vote only for Theophilus -
There are two judges TO he elected.
Not one word has dared be spoken
against either Deemer or Evans Not
a whisper against their learning,
honor. capacity or their record as
Judges. None of their supporters is
suggesting that the friends of either
Eeemer or Evans vote for one" Both
judges would Indignantly repudiate
any such ward workers scheme.
There is not the shadow of reason
why any voter should vote for one
when two are to be elected. There is
not one good reason advanced why
either of the two notable jurists at
present on the supreme bench should
be displaced by Judge Theophilus-no
reason that should appeal TO the voters.
That Judges Evans and Deener have
judicially approached every decision is
history. That is what we want in
iowa. If there are interests wet or
otherwise that desire a supreme Judge,
IL as suggested Judge Salinger desires
