have started a city-wide agitation
for the adoption Of the city man

Petitions have been started In all
parts of the city asking that voters
be allowed to ballot on this plan at
the time of the city elections.
The chamber of commerce yester-
day took up the matter and ap-
pointed special committee to in

ager system in other cities and make
a report on it. Practically all of the
larger business interests of the city
are alignng themselves with the
agitation for the installation of a

Under the plan, the voters would
elect councilmen the same as at the
present time. These council men,
bers would then choose man fitted
by years of managerial experience to
administer the affairs of the city
along the lines employed by large
corporations.

Iowa congressman for Lowdsn.
TBy z. G. Dougherty.1

Washington. Feb. 20.-The middle
west is likely to be represented on
the next republican ticket either by
a, candidate for president or vice
president.
Governor Lowden, of Illinois, is
the outstanding candidate of that Sec
ton for the presidential nomination,
according to Washington politicai
wiseacres, and movement Is al
ready on foot to present a western
candidate for the vice presidential
nomination.
Representative Burton e. Sweet, ct
Iowa. is the man who is being PUT
forward for this honor. Mr.. Sweet
is a supporter of Governor Lowden
for the presidency and is not ad-
vancing his own candidacy. neither
has he signified willingness IN any
way to become q candidate. How
ever, an independent movement has
been launched for him and in the
event that Governor Lowden Is not
nominated for the presidency, Mr..
Sweet is certain to be put forward
as the middle vests candidate for
the second place on the ticket.
Mr.. Sweet is being talked of for
the vice presidency by fellow mem
bers Of the house. but the movement
for him is more distinctly one spon-
sored by the disabled soldiers and
by the beneficiaries Of the sweet bill
which reorganized the war risk
bureau and which has resulted In
the distribution already of $50. O0O.o
among the mutilated veterans of the
great war. ,
This is the bilh which was APP
proved by the American Legion at
its meeting in Minneapolis and which
has resulted in bringing order out
of chaos that prevailed in the war
risk bureau and has made it living
factor in benefitting the veterans or
the war and their dependents. The
popularity of this bill is such that
wherever veterans are found. there
are also boosters for Mr.. Sweet, the
author Of the bill. which has taken
the concrete form of a boom for the
vice presidency.
The movement for Mr.. Sweet for
vice president has already assumed
tangible form in the east. where 1t
is being discussed favorably in the
newspapers. Fellow.members of the
house have also taken 1t up just as
they did in the movement which re-
suited in the nomination of James
Sherman, Of New York, for vice
president and which previous to that
almost resulted in the nomination OF
the former Senator Deliver. of Iowa.

of the plaintiff, and the motion was
sustained by the court. In the
answer filed BY the defendants in
the original'suit. each and every al
legation as to fraud and misrepre-
sentation is expressly denied and the
agreement to e-sell the stock which
was purchased by Mr.. Schmitt at an

states that the defendants are still

agreement and that they are willing
and ready to carry out the terms OF
the agreement to resell said shares
