DE MOINES. Aug. 2. (Special. ) A vote !
on United States senator will be necessary I
at Hie special session of tho legislature
called by -the. governor to convene next J
Monday. The law provides that the next
legislature to meet after there la a vacancy
In the United 8tatea eenate must ballot upon
a candidate to . fill : the office. The only
way the extra session, dan escape electing
a United Hlatea aenator 1a to get Into a
deadlock. . '. '
This necessity 'to elect a I'nlted States
senator also necessitates . the - legislature
holding over mora than one week. It will
have to remain In aeealoo till at leaat Sep
tember . It will meet and organize on
August St. The Jaw pwrvldes that each
houss must hieet at noon and vote on
United. State aenator on the eeoond Tues
day after meeting and organizing'. That will
be Tuesday, September 8. The law further
aye that tha next day ' the two houaee
must meet jointly. Thla will require them
to meet jointly on Wednesday, September I.
It could then adjourn If if can agree readily
on the election of tho candidate. Thla elec
tion will be for the unexpired term or
Senator Allison.
Tha amendment to the primary law on
wtleh all republicans have united In the
Interests of harmony la for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for tbe long term,
the election of which will be by the regular
aeaalon of the legislature to meet next
January.
Many members of the legislature are re
maining' in the city for the session. They
were called here to attend the conference
or attend the state fair 'or both and find
there will be enough to keep them busy.
It Is expected that the hotels will fill up
with members of the legislature today.. It
Is tha understanding that, tha organisation
of the legislature when In regular session
will be maintained. The elections commit
tees will have, the bulx. of the work to. do
and It may , be determined to atrengthen
these . for,, thla session by the addition of
other members, probably lawyers.
The different methods of amending the
primary law are now being given consider
ation.' Senator DolUver, at the conferenco
Tuesday suggested that the names of tho
candidates for United States senator be
put at .the bottom of the republican column
on the November ballot and that no votes
for senator be counted unless the citizen
has voted for the republican nominees from
presidential elector down to legislative
nominee. Others are suggesting the oppo
site extreme, or the Oregon plan, which Is
likely to be favored by the democrats, thnt
everyone, regardless of party affiliation,
be allowed to vote and that name of the
democratic candidate for aenator be put
on the ballot with the rest. Another scheme
Is to but none but republican candidates for
aenator on the ballot tuid to limit tha vot
ing on senator to those republicans who
voted at .the. June primary. This necessi
tates a separate ballot, and would limit It
to 100.000 republicans, cutting about 100,000
off from "a 'chance to vote on senator.
Another scheme Is to make the qualifica
tions the same as for the June primary.
Let every voter have a primary; ballot on
aenator who vote4 the republican ticket
at the Juno prlmrfry. or who declares him
self to be republican. '
The Cummins peop!e profess that they
are disinterested In. the qualification
scheme, except that they Join In keeping
the democrats from helping select the re
publican candidate, as they claim that
they are confident that the governor will
have a majority whatever the test of
qualifications for voters. The question
of constitutionality enters largely Into
the discussion, as "many claim that It
would be contrary to the constitution and
the Australian ballot law to require a
declaration of party affiliation at a No
vember election.
Wedding- Dinner at Fair,
Henry Allred of Corydon and his brldo

of
DES MOINES. Ia.,' Aug. 28. Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson declared toda? that
ufler forty years of Investigation the De
partment of Agrkulture was ready to say
that American Innd ,is not wearing out.
On the contrary, he said, at the Iowa State
fair that Its productivity on the whole was
larger today than ten years ago. The de
partment has Just ended an exhaustive In
vestigation on this subject, and Secretary
Wtbon regards the evidence as conclusive.
' "While the investigation disclosed that
the crc-rs of between thrty and forty years
ago were better than those of ten snd
twenty years sgo," says Secretary Wilson,
"dur.ng the last ten years there was a
higher average crop per acre than during
forty years."

ro many to speak he must make his re
mat ks as brief as possible. He discussed
some of the national Issues briefly. und

ences between the records of the two lead
ing parties, lie punctured the "people's
rule" plank of the democrats in a way
which pleased those present. He spent
some little time In discussing bis reasons
for entering the congressional race at this
time. He said he had made considerable
st idy of the needs of this district, and that
he reallxeC fiat they were greater than
the needs rf any other district In the state.
He said this was because of the metropolis
snd tho location of so msny large and vital
Interests here. He. pledged himself to have
these needs ever In mind. He touched
briefly on the river navigation and the
better control of corporations, such as
rallnads and interstate dealers.

nock lalnnd Delays Viaduct.
It is asserted that the Indifference of the
Rock Island railroad was the cause of the
delay In the erection of the viaduct at
Twenty-fifth and lT; Streets. The viadutH
cs proposed will pass over the Union Pa
cific and a large tract of tbe Rock Island
property. This will cause to the road con
siderable Inconvenience In switching under
the viaduct. For this reason the road has
sought many causes of delay. If, however,
the street Is opened as proposed In the
ordinance now pending, the loss to the
Rock Island would be fully ss much as tin
cost of erecting Its share of the viaduct.
Several conferences have been held over
the proposition, but, although th repre
sentatives claimed to be willing to erect
a shar? of the work, no definite agreement
was reached. They did come to a verbal
agreement which each party was to present
to ihe directors of the road. What action
the directors have taken In the matter Is
unknown. The Vnlon Pacific through
Messrs. Huntly and Mohler stated to the
mayor a few days ago that they were
trying to get the Rock Island to act favor
ably on the viaduct proposition. An effort
will be made to gel the representstlves to
gether today to-settle definitely the plan
for the viaduct. '

Automoblblllng"-Blll Merten. the big
Emerson contractor, and his automobile
were in town Saturday night. The ma
chine was left standing In front of the
Schrlever hardware store while Its owner
attended to some business. When he was
ready to start Mr. Merten was accompanied
by Will Ostmyer, and together they took
seats In the car, the envied- of all specta
tors. Mr. Merten adjusted the sparkcr.
connected the geewhllllktr with thfl dingus,
gave thp tiller a gentle shove to the left,
and then said "Darn." Nothing happened.
Morten then stepped to the front of the
machine, looked It square In the lace, and
gave the flywheel a twist. Things at once
began to happen so rapidly that a crowd
gathered from ell parts of town. The ma
chine shot ahead like a black bass after a
frog. Ostmyer shouted, "Whoa, back," and
then jumped out. Merten climbed over the
dashboard Into the machine, but before he
could stop It a row of hitching posts tiad
been mowed down and a team of horses
attached to a top buggy nnd tied to the
posts was dragged to the middle of the
street and scattered over the land-icapc, the
horses btlng rolled and dragged. The
buggy and harness w -re badly used up, but
the horses escaped uninjured. Two broken
headlights was the extent of the Injury
to the machine. The team was a livery
rig from Winnebago, and Mr. Mew-n Im
mediately made arrangements to settle
all
damages. Dakota Cotmtv Record.

by a steam merry-go-round and band of
vaudeville performers, he made himself ef
fectively heard by thousands of people,
and delivered a most pleasing address.
His address was extemporaneous and whs
along the line of thought that while the
old settlers had done much to make the
state of Nebraska what it Is today, there
was yet plenty for the younger settler to
do In the developing of the state and mak
ing it still better by modern agricultural
methods and modern Improvements In every
line of work. Senator Burkett spoke for
over an hour, keeping the closest attei.tlon
of his hearers.
Tli afternnnn was devoted to Snorts Of
various kinds. Dakota City and South
Sioux City clubs played ball and two horse
races were pulled off. The day closed with
a band concert on the opera house campus
In the evening, followed by the annual old
settlers' dance. ,
