NO RETALIATION TALK.
Republicans in Iowa Rather Fear
Brookhart's Future Course.

DES MONIES. December 6.-Reading
Senator Smith w. Brookhart of Iowa
out of the party by the Republican
senatorial conference. before the open
ing of the short session. has failed to
provoke any open declarations of re-
taliation by the Senator's supporters.
IoWans have become accustomed to
having Brookhart read out of the party.
Three times in succession Republican
State conventions have ignored Brook
hart as the party's Senator, as well as
it's nominee for the office. In the past
Brookhart has thrived and waxed fat
on this sort of thing. A slap has been
boost
And there are some cautious oppo-
nents of the Senator, as well as many
friends, who see at least remote pos
sibility of the same upshot now. At least
there is some feeling, though probably
not yet preponderant in Republican cir
cles, that discipline at Washington
might wisely stop now. Some OF the un-
easiness centers about Daniel f. Steck' S
contest for Brookhart's seat The regu-
lars do not want Brookhart to be a
candidate again in two years, when
Senator Cummins' term expires.
Want Two-Year Wait.
If the contest by Steck, Democrat.
backed by rabid anti-Brookhart Re-
pubIicans, should triumph after the
1926 election that would suit them per-
fectly But such a triumph before the
election would be quite another matter.
1t is not to be forgotten that Brook
hart, despite everything, got nearly
half million votes. Whether any
thing done to Brookhart, or by him,
will have any effect on the third
party movement is very doubtful
now. If the third party in Iowa Is
not dead, 1t is in an exceptionally
deep coma. There is plenty of pro-
gressive sentiment, and a few cour-
ageous leaders would like to battle
on But the election is over. The en-
thusiasm has subsided. The State Is
still Republican, decidedly and nor
mally.
Seeks Party Machinery.
AS a matter of fact, Brookhart's
ultimate purpose was probably to
take over the Republican machinery
| and make it his own, rather than
either to lead or follow in a perma-
nent new party. Anything else In
| Iowa would have been rather ridicu-
| lous.

to the hospital, and then returned to
the station house where he was re-
quired to remain outside in the pa
troll in his wet clothes for some time.
on starting TO the hospital, he said,
they called another policeman from
his beat and had him go to Gallinger
Hospital to stand guard over him.
He repeated the cursing in detail,
alleged to have been given by Lieut..

Dodson.
Shirts Arc Evidence.
At this point there were introduced
as exhibits the outer shirt and under
shirt said TO have been worn by
Davis. The bottom of the back of
each was very dirty, and there were
holes in them which were apparently
caused by the friction of being drag
ged over a hard surface. The dirt
was made, il could be plainly seen,
by dragging.
On cross s-eXamination, the witness
said that he could not say for Ger
tain that Policeman Carroll was pres
ent at the beating. He said that the
licks were falling on him with the
rapidity of a machine gun, and that
they were severe enough TO knock
him to the floor. He said that there
was no doubt about Lieut.. Pierson
being there, however, as when the
sack was torn off he was looking
right into Persons face.
Attorney George c. Page is asso-
ciated with Attorney Ryan as counsel
for Davis.
Davis was locked up in connection
with an alleged assault on Policeman
Musselman of No. Z precinct, and the
attack on Davis is alleged to be one
| of revenge on this account. Davis
was acquitted in the Police Court of

Whether evidence thus far adduced

Waterman declared that he believed

No complaints have yet been made
