marital difficulties. A young woman mem.

Roberts' cafe In this city were the per
son mentioned by the plaintiff In her

make. Judge and execute laws, and to
provide lor the final disposal of all their
navies, and for an army and navy under
the sole command of the I'nlted Natltfhs
to enforce peace and 'prevent war ever
occuring again.

WORKING ON PRIMARY LAW
Generally Agreed Senatorial Prefer
ence Muit Be on Separate Ballot. '
SH0ET TEEM IS TO BE FILLED
House by Decisive Vote llaes l'p with
the Senate on This Proposi
tion Caucus to Decide
Nominee, "
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
PES MOINES. Sept. 4.-tSpecial.)-lt can
be prephecled with every degree of accuracy
that the legislature will amend the pri
mary election law to provide for a vote on
senator separate from the regular election
ballot, with a strong party declaration,
with full right to challenge the voters who
ask for the separate senatorial ballot, and
with the requirement that when challenged
they must swear In their vote. The drift
to this idea is very noticable today and
the complicated situation of republican pol
itics Is, however, compelling many of the
members of the legislature to talk publicly
and vote on nonessentials much different
from what they talk privately.
The lawyer members of the subcommittee
which is drswlng the new bill hsve agreed
that to nut the senatorial primary vote on
the reguicr ballot and require the voter
to vote for certain republican nominees or
for a percentage of them before his vot
on senatorial nomination could be counted
would be unconstitutional. Senator Whip
ple, one of the best lawyer members of
the senate and a standpatter, and Repre
sentative Harding of Woodbury, one of the
best lawyers there and a standpatter, agios
to this. This, therefore, necessitates a sep
arate ballot. The only proposition now is
to work out the details to keep democrats
from getting the republican ballot on sen
ator. The committee today agreed upon
the general provisions of the bill and prom
ised today to have It rady to Introduce
tomorrow. It will be read a first and sec
ond time then, and the next day will prob
ably be passed.
On the question of the election of a sen
ator for the short term It Is agreed that
there shall be an election. Lawyer have
been looking up the provisions of the law.
They find that In the 110th United States
report, in a case reported on page 851, th
court says:
The frequent failures of the leglnlatures
of the states to elwct senators at (lie
froper time, by one bianoti of the legis
ature voting tor oiW peraon and the other
branch for another peioi, and refusing
In any manner to reconcile their differ
ences, led congress to pass an act which
compelled the two bodies to meet In Joint
convention, and fixing the day when this
should be done, and requiring them so to
meet on every day thereafter and vole for
a senator until one was elected.
In addition to th law on the matter
the house today turned .down th Hambte
ton resolution to adjourn till November t
on the theory that the U being so plaiu
as to the particular day ca which the
election shall take place, -there was no
voiding the mandate, and that It was
especially bad precedent for a lawmaking
body to disobey law.
Every .me.nber of tl's legislature is more
concerned wUh his own election than any

thing else Just at this time. The feeltng
le strong now that the primary vote on
senator will save them from hnvlng to
declare themselves on the pinatcrlal can
dldates before the election and thus save
them from defeat. On tho question of
election for the short term the republicans
will caucus probably Monday and the
minority will stand by the results of the
caucus. If CummlnH Is the selection of
the caucus the standpatters will have no
difficulty In their districts with their stand
pat supporters, for they will vote sgainst
Cummins In the caucus as a matter of
eoure. They will gain some bv pleasing
their Cummins constituents by voting for
Cummins if he get the caucus nomina
tion. It Is believed today that the legislature
will have no difficulty In adjourning sin
die on Wednesday next,
In (ho Senate.
The session of the senate today was
short McManus offered a petition from
the people of Fort Madison asking an ap
propriation of $5,000 to help calibrate the
centennial of the establishment rf Fort
Madison as a military fort and for erect
ing a monumfnt. After the resolution had
been read he Introduced a blU to maks the
appropriation, which was referred to the
appropriations committee.
In th Home.
The house remained in session till ncoi
and then met again at I p. m. During
the forenoon the greater part of the Urn
was taken up by Hambleton of Mahaiki,
who talked for his resolution to ndj.iur.i
till November t to avoid electing a sena
tor before the general election, and by
MHler of Bremer, who talked for his reso
lution to adjourn sine die. Miller finally
accepted Hamhlcton's as substitute.
Swift of Shelby, a democrat, moved to ad
journ September sno die as a trubiti'.utn
for Hambleton's motion. This was de
feated by a viva voee vote, after the pre
vlous question had been crJyed by a vote
of 47 to '12. The Hambleton resolution was
then defeated on roll call by 35 to M, which
settled the question. Darrah, chairman of
the special committee, reported the DeMar
resolution to meet In Joint session on Sep
tember 9 for the purpose of eltctlng a km
ator with the recommendation that it pass.
DeMur then called up the resolution and
It was passed on roll call by 72 to 211. Thd
