While resolutions were passed at the meet
ing of the I'ottawnttamlo County liar as
sociation held last Saturday endorsing the
hill now pending In tho stato legislature,
providing for tbo transfer of Harrison county
from tho Fourth to tho Fifteenth Judicial
district, It has developed that, a largo num
ber of tho members are strongly opposed to
the proposed change. This opposition as
sumed tlcdnito form yesterday and a petition
protesting against tho passage of the bill
was circulated and received tho signatures
of about twenty-flvo of tho local members
of tho association. Copies of tho petition
have been Bent to all tho towns In tho county
and those circulating them nro of the opinion
that they will show that an overwhelming
majority of the attorneys of Pottawattamie
county aro opposed to the annexation of
Harrison county to this Judicial district.
These petitions will bo forwarded to State
Senator Hazclton at Des Moines, usklng him
to uso every effort possible to Insure tho
defeat of tho bill In the senate. Tho bill,
which wts Introduced by Iteprcscntatlvo
Klrkwood of HarrlBon, has nlrcady passed
the house.
Those who aro now opposing tho "bill claim
that tho meeting of tho liar association held
last Saturday was not a representative one
and that there was not a quorum present.
They say that In view of tho small attend
ance nt the meeting the presiding olllcer
should have postponed action on such an
Important matter as this Is to tho Fifteenth
district and the members of tho Pottawat
tamie bar until somo tlnio when a larger
and moro representative gathering of tho
association could have been bad.
Opposed tin Political firouiuln.
Tho opposition to tho proposed transfer
Is mado mainly on political grounds. Har
rison county Is strongly democratic, whereas
the Fifteenth Judicial district, comprising
tho counties of Audubon, Cass, Fremont,
Mills, Montgomery, Page, Pottawattamie and
Shelby, is republican. It la believed by
thoso opposing tho transfer that tho annexa
tion of Harrison county to the Fifteenth
Judicial district would endanger tho strength
of tho republican party In this district.

counselling delay In declaring wnr against

ful demand for Canadian homo rule (home
ruic in cuua or the Canadian type) was
within reach. Members of his own party in
congress were wrong when they failed to
support the president and under a gust of
passion declared war contrary to hu nd
vice.
"In tho second Important caso our execu
