DEMOCRATS PICK OIT CANDIDATE
Frank Tamlslra of Harrison Coanty
anted for Judge.
Frank Tamlslea of Missouri Valley, a
member of the Harrison county bar, was
nominated by the democratic convention ot
the Fifteenth Judicial district In this city
yesterday afternoon as candidate for Judge
of the district bench to succeed Judge N.
W. Macy of Harlan, whose term will expire
at the end of this year.
Mr. Tamlslea's nomination was brought
about only after a determined effort had
been made by Lew Genung, the veteran
democratic war horse of Mills county, to
have the convention endorse Eugene B.
Woodruff of Glenwood, the republican
nominee for the district bench.
The attempt on the part of Mr. Genung
to secure the endorement of Mr. Woodruff
was thwarted by Herman Schurz of this
city, who placed In nomination Mr. Taml
slea. As Mr. Tamlslea was not In attend
ance, there was some doubt expressed as to
whether he would be willing to offer him
self up as a sacrifice, but Mr. Schurz de
clared that Judging from a conversation he
had had several days before with Mr. Taml
slea, that the latter would not only accept
the nomination, but would make a cam
paign. Mr. Genung, suggesting that the conven
tion endorse Mr. Woodruff, paid the repub
lican nominee a handsome tribute. He de
clared that Mr. Woodruff was not a parti
san in any sense of the word, and that
above all things he was a man upon whom
the railroads never had had a string. He
said that In his opinion now was a good
time to set the republicans a good example
and show them that the democratic party
wsa In favor ot a nonpartisan Judiciary.
"I am not In favor," declared Mr. Gen
ung, "of making a victim of some poor
democratic lawyer who Is not present. I
am a friend of Frank Tamlslea and I am
not willing to offer up as a sacrifice any
of my friends. If, however, Frank Taml
slea or any other democratic lawyer wants
to go up against the buzz saw and the re
publican Judiciary combine In this district
why let him, and I will do all I can for
him."
It was suggested that an effort be made
to reach Mr. Tamnslea by telephone, but
It was unsuccessful Mr. Schurc Insisted
that Mr. Tanraslea would accept the nomi
nation and he was finally nominated by
acclamation. At the same time, on motion
of Roscoe Barton of Avoca, the precaution
was taken to authorize the judicial com
mittee to fill the vacancy should orle arise
from any caure.
The convention, which was attended by
about fifteen delegates, was called to or
der by S. B. Wadsworth of this city, chair
man of the democratic Judicial committee,
who named Paul Richards of Red Oak
temporary chairman. W. II. Schuz of this
city was selected as temporary secretary.
It was decided to dispense with a committee
on credentials and on motion of Mr. Wads
worth the temporary organization was
made permanent. Chairman Richards re
frained from any oratory and the conven
tion dispensed with adopting any resolu
tions. Ions Mews Notes.

BENZOIC ACID UNDER BAN
Dr. Wiley Says Hensoate of Soda Also
Should Be Exclnded from
Foods.
WASHINGTON, July 22. "In the Inter
ests of health both benzoic acid and ben
coate of soda should be excluded from
foods."
This is the conclusion of Dr. Harvey
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry
of the Department of Agriculture, after a
prolonged Investigation to determine the
effect upon the human system of these
preservatives. The chemicals were given
In various ktnds of foods to Dr. Wiley's
so-called poison squad, and he declared
their use Is highly objectionable and pro
duces very serious disturbances of the
metabolic functions, attended with injury
to digestion and health. It Is pointed out
that these symptoms were produced upon
healthy Individuals receiving good and
nourishing food and under proper sanitary
conditions.
"It Is only fair to ccnclude, therefore."
says Dr. Wiley, "that under similur condi
tions these preservatives In the case of
weaker systems or less resistant conditions
of health much more serious and lusting
Injury would be produced." '
He declared that the Investigation Is of
special Importance because of the opinion
held by many manufacturers of feed that
benzoic acid and bensoates tire probahly
the Irait harmful of any of the preserva
tive substances employed.
The results of these Investigations, Vr.
Wiley states, have shown that there Is not
a single article of food which hps been
preserved by means of .these preservatives,
such as cider, grape Juice, mincemeat, Jelly,
Jams, catiup, preserves, etc., which cannot
be preserved and offered to the consumer
in perfect condition without the old of any
chemical preservatives.
