BLUFFS
MACY HAS SO OPPOSITION
Democrat's Forget to Call a Convention in
This Judicial Distriot.
TOO LATE NOW TO REMEDY OVERSIGHT
Leaders of Party Pretend It Was In.
tentlonal nnd that It Slanlned
an Endorsement of Judge
Macy.
The democrats of the Fifteenth Judicial
district of Iowa have suddenly awoke to
the fact that they have entirely forgotten
to hold a convention this year and nomi
nate a candidate for the district bench.
Pottawattamie, na well as several of the
other counties comprising the Fifteenth
judicial district, selected a list of delegates
to the Judicial convention, but the commit
tee suffered a lupae of memory and failed
to call the convention. It Is now too late
to rectify the omission and consequently
Judge N. W. Macy of Harlan, the repub
lican nominee, will have a clean walk
away. F. W. Miller, chairman of the democratic
county central committee, when his atten
tion yesterday was called to the fact that
his party had failed to naif.fe a candidate
for the district bench, said he supposed
that the committee, of which Attorney
Robinson, of Glen wood Is chairman, had
come to the conclusion that it would be
only a waste of time to hold a convention
and name a candidate. "The omission to
name a candidate must be taken as an
endorsement by the democrats of this dis
trict of the candidacy of Judge Macy,'" he
said.
Hon. Lew Gcnung, the. democratic war
horse and orator, when seen yesterday,
said: "Well, what did we want to hold
a convention for unyhow. Judge Macy'a
re-election was a foregone conclusion, and
we wanted to endorse his candidacy and
we did it by falling to hold a convention.
Nothing remarkable in this is there?"
While It Is admitted that the democrats
realised that to name a candidate for the
district bench in the Fifteenth district
would simply mean the ottering of some
Iamb for the slaughter, It Is nevertheless
a fact that the failure to hold a convention
and name a candidate was purely due to
forgetfulrwss on the part of the Judicial
committee.
The counties comprising the Fifteenth
judicial district are Audubon, Cass, Fre
mont, Harrison, Mills, Montgomery, Page,
Pottawattamie and Shelby.

Republican! Mtking Practically So Effort
to Stir Things Up.
DEMOCRATS UNABLE TO ACCOMPLISH IT
Second District the Only One In Which
There Are Any Indications of
. a Contest W. C. T, V.
Conveatlon.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Oct. 18. (8peclal.-Never
in the history of Iowa politics has the
political game presented so.few features of
general Interest as this year Senator Fair
banks spent two days crossing the state
and turned a wide furrow, but on either
side of this lone apathy prevails. The
republicans are almost to the point of con
tributing something to the democratic cam
paign fund If the democratic committee wilt
only start something but the democratic
committee is utterly helplesw.
Now it Is greatly feared the registra
tion In cities will be very light and as a
consequence the vote will not Indicate
much as to the temper of the people. In
all cities of over 8,000 there must be com
plete new registration .this year, ns the
old registration books are thrown away.
In the absence of any campaign It will be
hard to get the voters to register.
As Illustrating the situation, Des Moines
has had one meeting, that addressed by
Speaker Cannon, and it Is deliberately
planned that there wtll not be another
during the campaign. A club waa or
ganized and uniformed for marching just
to' have one opportunity to get out. A
similar situation prevails In other cities
of the state, .
The republicans all have their senators
and most of their congressmen In the
state the last two weeks of the cumpalgn
and a few good county, seat rallies will be
held. Governor Cummins goes today to
Chicago to address a big meeting there,
then Into Ohio for two meetings and back
Into Kansas, where he addresses a rally
at Clay Center.
The democrats have all but made a fail
ure of It. General Weaver Is over In
Indiana campaigning. Ex-Governor Boles
has partially agreed to do the same thing.
The candidates for congress In the First,
Sixth and Eighth districts have gone out
on the stump, and a tew meetings have
been held In the Seventh. But a number
of democratic meetings have been scheduled
which have proved failures. Bourke Cock
ran of New York has been engaged to help
Judge Wade in the Second district and be
gins at Davenport next Friday.
Neither the populistj nor the prohibi
tionists have held any meetings In the
state, though they have tickets.
Good judges of election say now that
the vote In Iowa will not be any larger
next month, than It was four years ago.
. Attack Medical Low.
L An. attack on the Iowa medical practice
W . . . . . . , . . . . . . .
act Is made In the case against J. Wilson
Edmond, appealed to the supreme .court
from Wright county, Involving the fee for
an Itinerant physician. Edmonds was a
vendor of spectuclcs and claimed to be able
to cure diseases by their use, and was
therefore prosecuted. The state appeals to
establish the character of the law, but
the defense makes a general attnek on the
lawand asks -the supreme court to- have-
the law declared void because of Its re
quirements. It Is pointed out that a license
fee Is exacted of traveling vendors of medi
cine without requiring them to submit to
examination or have, a certificate from a
college, but a fee of 1250 Is required from
doctors who must also be graduates of
colleges or submit to examination. It Is
Bought to have the whole law invalidated.
Limit the Indebtedness.
There waa filed with the secretary of
state today the articles amending the char
ter of the Chicago, Rock Island & Paclflo
Railway company limiting the Indebtedness
of the company to $276,000,000, exclusive of
the bonds Issued for the purchase of new
properties. This limit was adopted at the
recent meeting In Davenport and Is signed
by B. L. Winchell, the new president.
There waa incorporated today the Farm
ers Incorporated Co-Operatlve Bociety of
Palmer, la., formed with $10,000 capital by
a large number of the farmers living in
Calhoun county for the purpose of making
mutual purchases of goods and distribution
of produce.
Omaha Cnt-Off Case.
Jaoob Sims of Council Bluffs, attorney
for C R. Hannan, who desires to purchuso
the land known as the cut-off In Omahn,
appeared before tho state executive council
and asked that the state make an appear
ance In the Injunction suits brought In the
federal court to prevent, the sale of tho
land, which, he claims, belongs to the state
of Iowa.. The matter was turned over to
tho attorney general for the protection of
the" rights of the state. The controversy
is entirely between claimants as to the
property. Mr. Sims secured, the passage
of the law under which the sale la con
templated, Supreme Court Meets.
