This was the information contained in a
telegram received yesterday by City- Clerk
Zurmuehlcn from Secretary of State Mar
tin. It had reference to the law recently
passed by the state legislature eliminating
the circle from the top of the ballot. The
impression ge.nerullj prevailed in this city
that the circle would be eliminated from
tho ballots to be used nt the municipal
election next Monday and that In order to
vote a straight party ticket the voter would
have to put a cross against the name of
each candidate on the ticket. This, how
ever, will not be necessary at the city elec
tion and a person can as heretofore vote a
straight party ticket by merely placing a
cross In the circle at the bead of the pnrty
ticket which he desires to vote for.

DES MOINES. March )tl-(8peclal.-By
vote of 32 to U the senate passed the board
of regents bill today after having spent live
days in debating It, The bill is considered
one of the most Important measures before
the legislature at this session and was
drafted by a commission of senators and
representatives who spent two years In in
vestigating the matter. The bill establishes
a single board of regents of fifteen, one
from each congressional district and four
aw large, which shall have the entire con
trol and management of the State univers
ity at Iowa City, the State Agricultural
College at Ames and the State Normal at
Cedar Falls, and does away with the sep
arate boards of trustees and regents that
now govern these Institutions. The bill
provides that the board of regents shall ap
point a finance committee of three from res.
Idents of the state outside of their own
number, which shall have charge of the
finances of the three institutions. The
broad policies of the Institutions shall be
controlled by . the regents, though the edu
cational policies of the Institutions shall
originate with the heads of the Institutions
as at present. The primary purpose of the
creation or the single board for the three
Institutions is that there will be no further
conflict between the Institutions nor dupli
cation or the work further than is neces
sary. While the house has been recognised
to be more hostile to the bill than the ..n.
ate the friends of the measure claim that
It will get a majority of Die house. It will
be brought before the house next week.
