Two persona, Mrs. Senator Brookhart is certain to he seated by the senate at the close of the Sterk-Brookhart contest. Slate Senator M. L.

Row-man, who returned from Washington yesterday, said, because the majority of senate is convinced Brookhart. received a plurality of the votes last November under the Iowa law. The refusal of the subcommittee and the majority of the eledlons committee to count 1,344 straight republican ballots for Brookhart under the Iowa law caused the majority report to collapse when senators began to Investigate it, Senator Bowman declared. "There has Ix-en plenty of poll-ties in the whole consideration the contest," Senator bowman said last night, "and a real disposition upon the part of Brookhart enemies to unseat him.

Councilman Mathls has announced no appointments In the parks department. While Harry I I the latter part of the week, they didn't realize the full import of such an act.

There Is not the least doubt that any number of Brookhart's enemies would like to nnseat him, but It has clearly dawned upon them now that to do so would amount to disfranchising the voters of a sovereign state. Won by Iowa Law. "Thi realization came with the discovery that Senator Brookhart received a plurality of the votes under the Iowa law, and that to unseat Brookhart by pretense as discovering the Intent of the voter would be to set a precedent for the overturning of other state laws, perhaps of their own, in future contests. "While from a political standpoint, many enemies of Brookhart Would like to unseat him, it would be such a rotten piece of legislation under the Caraway report as refuted by the Stephens report that they dare not do it." Senator Bowman, who has maintained from the beginning that Senator Brookhart would be seated, plunged at once yesterday into preparations for an active campaign for his own nomination In the primary this year, expecting Senator Cummins and Howard J. Clark to be the only other entrants.

Senator Bowman has stated, since announcing his candidacy, that he would withdraw If Senator Brookhart should be Staves, asslst-ent superintendent, a techtncal- moted to lieutenant with the same duties as at present in charge of the morning desk.

"There has been a constant propaganda." He said he dirt not know what the proprieties should tie. but -the other party to the contest had not taken surh a course and had not asked senators to support him. Senator Caraway then reviewed the procedure of the subcommittee In charge ot the recount- He charges that Senator Hrookhart for the first time raised some suggestions of Irregularity after the recount of the subcommittee Indicated a plurality for Steck. He also criticized Senator Brookhart for saying he had not nominated his supervisors, and later admitting he had nominated them. Taking up the charge of the Brook-hart supporters that there Is something wrohg with the ballots In sixty-seven townships on which the seals were broken or not Intact, Senator Caraway entered Into a long and detailed explanation of the facts.

Tells of "Agreements." The substance of his exposition of the matter was that Senator Brookhart was stopped from raising this question by stipulations and agreements previously entered Into by the senator or his counsel here. Senator Wheeler asked a series of questions and wanted to know It there was any stipulation to accept the ballots Instead of the official returns. Senator Caraway said, finally, that there was no agreement and that even If ballots were not properly preserved they should be counted He Insisted, however, that fhe ballots bad come here In registered sacks, which were locked, apd that they could not have been tampered with. In response to questions by Senators Wheeler and Reed, Senator Caraway hotly denied the subcommittee had followed one rule In a precinct where there was a discrepancy between ballots and poll books, and another rule In other precincts. Senators Wheeler and Caraway here gesticulated angrily about being unpleasant and unfair.

Laughs at Ridiculous Votes. In a long discussion ot the number of ballots missing as compared with the poll books, Senator Howell gave the number of missing as 3,570. Referring to the peculiarity In the voting, Senator Caraway at one point said: "Some actually voted for t'oolldge and Dawes and also for La Follette and Wheeler. That Is the brand of literacy in Iowa! "Running through. Senator Caraway's argument were frequent charges that Senator Brookhart, through his own action or his counsel and supervisors, had stipulated various matters as to tie recount which he had now repudiated.
