SPCSidl W
Des Moines, April 13.-After fight
which has extended over several weeks
the repeal of the non partisan judi
ciary law has been accomplished by
the present legislature.
The senate yesterday AFTERNOON by a
vote of q to % adopted the Jones
amendment to the kimball bill. The
Jones amendment provides for the re-
pealing of the non partisan judiciary
law. This amendment was adopted by
the house on Tuesday by a vote of SO
to So. The Kimball BILL as thus
amended, has been adopted by both
houses.
The Kimball bin as originally in
troduced merely provided for the re-
| moval of the presidential electors
from the ballot and the placing Of the
names of the president and vice presi-
dent thereon so that the voters could
vote for the candidates in this man
ner.
The house also amended the bill
when it was up for consideration by
voting to restore the circle to the bal
lot. The senate likewise concurred in
this amendment.
Senator Kimball, of Council Bluffs,
the author of the original bill. has
been one Of the staunchesti defenders
OF the artisan Judiciary law in
the legislature this session. Senator
Helmer, of Carroll county, has been
it's chief opponent. Early in the ses-
sion Senator Helmer had bill up in
the senate to repeal the law but it
was defeated. He again tried to re-
peal it by offering an amendment SINH
lar to the Jones amendment, to the LIE
! Compile bill, acted on by the senate
Tuesday. Again he was defeated The
LIE Compile bill, which, provided for the
printing of the judicial ticket below
each party ticket onsthe, ballot, was
passed by the senate as originally in
troduced Fa a.
But the action Of the house in adopt
ing the Jones amendment seemed to
change sentiment in theg senate. At
any rate, when Senator Helmer yester-
day afternoon moved that the senate
concur in the house amendment to the
1AlIllDdlA Dill etppS"iSu W AiA'S
majority with him. Senator Caswell, a
democrat, and therefore in favor OF
the non partisan law, moved to lay
the bill on the table but on this he
was sruisn as sbeipg oHt s0f order, ;as
It had not, been cons Flsred py the
