The democratic county convention yester
day waa one of the most remarkable in the
1 hUtnrv of Caunnll Bluffs. It was a ennven-
.. ' . r , .... . .
tion without a bona fide candidate. Not In
I any ''convention In thla county have- ao
many "declined with thanks" been heard.
Even the candidate heading the ticket was
I nominated against his will and has flatly
! refused to run. Fortunately the ticket can
t
be patched up later, as the county central
committee was given authority to All any
vacancies which might occur. Six nomina
tions were made yesterday and It Is no
secret that the county central committee
will have to provide candidates to fill four
If not five vacancies on the ticket.
The convention was completely domi
nated by the Parker men and the Hearst
and Bryan element ' had practically no
voice In the proceedings, although At
torney 8. B. Wadsworth, the leader of-the
Hearst forces in this section of the state,
was named as one of the delegates to the
state convention. This much was conceded
Mr. Wadsworth simply because of his per
sonal popularity. . . .
. Routine Proceedings.
When Chairman F. W. Miller of the dem
ocratic county central committee called'the
convention to order at 11 o'clock there waa
but a small sprinkling of delegates In. the
hall and these were mostly from the coun
try precincts, the city being represented by
scarcely a corporal's guard. Mr. Miller
named Herbert B. Mosher of Walnut as
temporary chairman. Mr. Mosher refrained
from attempting anything like a speech
and contented himself with reading the
official call for the convention. J. 3.
Hughes, chairman of the city central com
mittee, was named as temporary secre
tary, and then, 'on motion of City Clerk
Zurmuehlen, the chair appointed the usual
oammlttees, . as follows, and an adjourn
ment wag taken for dinner ' ' "
Credentials John Oarner, : Jr.; Frank

Delegates to State " Convention F. W.
Miller, Louis Zurmuehlen.' E. C. Thomp
son, Al Lenocker, Richard Organ.
When the convention reconvened at t
o'clock, half an hour after the appointed
time, the attendance Waa very little larger
than In the forenoon, and If a roll call of
precincts had been necessary It would Have
been found that half of the country pre
cincts were not represented. The attend
ance from the city was sllstrrtly Increased,
but not sufficient to give the hall a com
fortably filled appearance.
Riley W. Briggs of Carson was mad.e
permanent chairman, J. J. Hughes secre
tary and City Auditor P. J. Smith reading
clerk.
Nominated Over Protest.
Following the reading of the reports of
the several committees the work of., nam
ing a ticket was begun. Fifteen minutes
sufficed for this, ss not a single roll ,call
was necessary,, all the nominations being
made. by acclamation, whether the person
named waa willing to be a candidate or
not. . ; .
The ball - was started rolling by J. B.
Johannsen of Walnut, who named Al
Lenocker of Oakland for clerk of the dis
trict court. Much td everyone's surprise,
Mr. Lenocker declined the nomination, say
ing that owing to his business engagements
he could not make the race this fall. The
convention told him to sit down and pro
ceeded to nominate him by acclamation
despite hie protests. After the chairman
had announced his nomination Mr. Len
ocker took the floor and Informed the con
vention that despite Its action It waa with
out a candidate for clerk of the district
court. After the convention Mr. Lenocker
reiterated .his determination not to be a
candidate for the office and notified the
central committee to name someone else
for thla cfflce.
Then P. J. McBrlde of this city was
named for county- recorder. Secretary
Hughes, on behalf of Mr. McBrlde, de
clined the nomination, but the convention
waa not there to listen to refuaals, and
McBrlde waa placed on the ticket by ac
clamation. When seen after tha convention
Mr. McBrlde aald that under no circum
stances would he be a candidate and that
the central committee would have at least
one vecanoy t tjll. '
For county auditor. Clay Platner. a trav
eling salesman of this city, was nominated
by acclamation. As Mr, Platner was not
present, he could not refuse the nomina
tion, but his frund say hd will not ac
cept It ad that tha central committee
will have one more vacancy on the ticket
to All. .
County Chairman F. W. Miller waa
placed In nomination by W. H. Schura for
county attorney, but at 'once rose to Ms
feet and declined the honor. ' The office,
he said, would not be congenial to him, as
he was not a criminal lawyer. Then John
P. Organ was named by David Sheward,
but his son, Richard Organ, who waa one
of the delegates, on behalf of his father,
stated that he waa not a candidate and
would not be under any circumstances.
Then someone suggested the name of
W. H. Ware and he waa nominated by
acclamation, according to the ruling of
tne chair, although there were many dis
senting votes.
For member of the board of county
supervisors, former Alderman L. A. Cas
per was named by Colonel W. H. Knepher
and the nomination waa by acclamation.
Mr. Casper. It Is stated, will not accp t
the nomination, as he has already made
arrangements to spend the winter In Cali
fornia and baa advertised ids home for
rent For his running mate George Dye
of Carson was named likewise by accla
mation. This completed the ticket and the selec
tion of a chairman of the county central
committee was left to the candidate's, de
spite the protest of Chalrmsn Briggs,
who thought It a radical departure from
our broad democratic rules.
The resolutions endorse the St. Louis
ticket and platform.
Township Ticket.
The Kane township democratic conven
tion yesterday placed In nomination the
following township ticket: For Justices of
the peace, H. O. Ouren (renoralnatlon) and
O. H. Lucas; for constables, Fred Shoe

HOME CO-OPERATIVE LAW HELD VALID
Walsh Says He Can He Elected Sec

Does Sot Desire It Vnlens
Parker Is Willing-.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, la., July lt-(8pecla!.)
Louis ' Biisse, of Butler county, the only
man in Iowa under sentence of death for a
crime, lost and won In the supreme court
! ,aay, 0r In other words he lost the case hi
such a way as to grant hltn practically all
he desired. He will hardly be called upon
to go to the gallows, and it was to escape
this that he appea'.ed.
The court divided squarely on the case.
Justice Sherwln wrote an opinion which
The feature of the case that is remark
able Is that this will probably give Busse
all that he desired. The entire trial, which
was a sensational and long drawn out case,
was devoted to securing some verdict less
than murder In the first degree. The ap
peal which was taken by Busse's attor
ney, Hon. B. A.' Dawson, state railroad
commissioner, was for the purpose of se
curing a penitentiary sentence rather than
a sentence of death. The date for the
hanging has long since paused, and If Busse
Is ever executed it will be when a governor
fixes a date for execution. The experience
In the past la that Iowa governors have not
been hasty In fixing dates for hangings.
This Is virtual resentencing of the convict.
With the court evenly divided a governor
would ' hardly be Justified in giving tha
order for death sentence.
I'pholds "Home ' Cat-Operative" Law,
The court decided also the case from Des
Moines Involving the constitutionality of
tjis law passed two years ago regulating
the "home co-operatives" In this slate. In
the distrlot court the law had been de
clared nuU and void, but the Supreme
court decides that It was entirely proper
and does not violate any constitutional pro
vision. The effect of the law Is to vir
tually drive all such concerns out of the
state. A second law afmtlar to the first
one was passed last. winter and Is also a
law, but they do not conflict
Walsh Will Yield to Parker.
Charles .A. Walsh, of Otturowa, secretary
of the democratic national committee, has
returned home from St. Louis and In an
Interview Is quoted as' saying that he, will
not be a candidate for secretary of the na

Judge Parker. "It will all depend on
Parker whether I shall continue as secre
tary of the committee;" said Mr. Walsh.
"I have three-fourths ..of the t committee
for me and car) be elected easily at any
time; but will not consent ' to ' be elected
unless It meets the approval of ' Judge
Parker...: Thla wUl .be idiaterinlned when the

Mr. Walsh Is enthusiastic for the ticket,

Thirty Convicts Interested.
The decision of the supreme court yester
day declaring Illegal the rule followed by
Iowa governors la requiring convicts to
sign an agreement to forfeit their good
time when their paroles are revoked will

the amount of the good time they eurned
prior to their paroles.. One of these la

FINERTY'S STORY OF IRELAND
Notable Contribution to the Historic Liter
ature, of the Emerald Iile.
MASTERFUL PICTURE OF A PEOPLE'S LIFE
Llahta and Shadows Drawn with
Vlaror anl Fidelity "Mow tn Jndge
Architecture" A Proper Onldc to
Appreciation of Bnllillngs
Significant evidence of the betterment of
the political and economic condition of the I
people of Ireland Is afforded by the marked
revival In literature pertaining to the Em
erald Isle. Within a recent period Thomas
Artrifs Emmet of New York and Michael
Davltt, founder of tha famous Land league.
contributed notable volumes treating of
different epochs In Irish history. The lat
est and most striking contribution to the
literature of the Island Is "The Popular
History of Ireland," written bf Hon. John
F. Flnerty of Chicago, president of the
American branch of the Urilted Irish
league. The work Is In two convenient vol
umes, constituting part of the series of
"The World's Best Histories."
Mr. Flnerty presents in compact form the
various related events of Ireland. In vol
ume one are grouped historic periods from
the settlement of the Island long before
the Christian era up to Grattan'a time In
the last half of Jhe eighteenth century.
The second volume deals with a period of
little more than a century, at once the
brightest and. darkest period In Irish an
nalsbrightest because for a few brief
years in Orattan's time the sunshine of
self-government warmed the land Into un
common progress and prosperity, succeeded
by generations of national darkness, ty
ranny," famine and all the brutal and re
fined cruelties arrogant might could con
ceive. The brlgher glow of present times
somewhat relieves the somberness of the
past, reanimating national aspirations
maintained under all circumstances. The
lights and shadows of a people's life drawn
hero with masterful strength arouse In the
unbiased reader two conflicting ematlons
admiration for .the Indomitable pluck of the
Irlrh people In their struggle against alien
oppression and amasement at the Inability
or unwillingness of the British government
to comprehend racial aspirations, and In
grudging granting relief only when wrung
from It by force of political circumstances.
The story Is told with the charm and
vigor characteristic of the distinguished
author and journalist. Although a staunch
partisan, Mr. Flnerty does not obtrude
partisanship.- He Is calm, deliberate, logi
cal, as befits the historian. In detailing
the martial exploits of the Irish people In
bygone times, from Clontarf to Fontenoy,
the glow of enthuslaam and thrilling de
scriptive power which marked the author's
story of General Crook's campaign on the
Rosebud In '76, and the famous ' Sibley
scout Imparts these ancient battle plctares
a lustre that defies the dust of time.
The concluding paragraphs of the history
epitomizes the cherished aspirations ot the
Irish people: "At the opening of the Brit
ish parliament last February (1904)," says
Mr. Flnerty, "John Redmond again brought
the Irish home rule question to the front
In the House ot Commons In a speech of
great ability, which asserted the right of
Ireland, to rule herself, . and demanded
back the parliament of which she had been
shamefully robbed In 1900.
"And so the cause of Irish self-government
Is still as from the first the great
question at Issue between Great Britain
tnd Itiand, . and can never be settled
