having been to Portland. Tsc0ma. Victoria
and other points Of interest To . repre-
sentative Of the Posr.IHTHLLfGKxcEa who
called on him last evening. he said: Il
have never before been west this
for and am wonderfully pleased with
what have seen. Tacoma and Seattle
have delighted me far beyond my expecta-
tons. The stir and thrift 20 apparent in
your business life at Seattle imprssses me
very strongly. There il . metropolitan
cir about this plscs had no conception
Of have been around your streets
good deal today and taken some beautiful
rides. and am free TO say like Seattle bet
ter than any other place / have seen in
the West. and If were coming West to
locate should cast my lot here.
] had made quite extensive in
quiries regarding the financial status Of
your city and it strikes me tho healthful-
ness Of your moneyed institutions speaks
wonders for your city. I have no doubt
that If you preserve this through this
crisis your city within the next decade
will surpass even the most sanguine hopes
Of your once residents. Iowa people have
great faith in Seattle. especially We who
live in Des Moines. You have taken away
% many of our citixens OF whom we were
proud that We feel . keen interest in all
that interests them and find they
are oil intensely loyal to your
city" The doctor wears . 9. A.
X. button. and when asked II he
could not attend the reunion Of the old
soldiers ut Chautauqua today. said: mo.
and regret it exceedingly. I am on the
staff Of the commander-in-chief. and also
chief of staff of my own state department,
and attend great many G. A. r. gather
ings. believe the lesson the country
needs now is one Of unfaltering loyalty to
the flag. We must teach everybody who
lives on American soil that only one flag
can float here and that one 10 Old Glory
a. We boys call it." A to the politics of
lows he said: Iowa will elect . Repub-
lican governor this fall. The condition of
the country for the last Eve months has
sOlidified Republication in my state,
and this together with prom
Use of the largest farm crops We
ever had, insures Republican victory.
The next state campaign in Iowa will be
most important one. because In addition
to choosing . governor, . legislature will
b elected which will choose Q successor
20 United States Senator James F. Wilson.
All the machinery Of the Federal and state
Offices Il in the hands Of the Democrats.
The holdovef state senators arc equally
divided. 90 that neither side has any adj
vantage in that respect. Our last legis-
lature was . tie In the senate, but the
lieutenant governor cast the deciding vote
in favor Of the Democrats. The house
was Republican by one or two majority.
So you can zee it will be . hard fight at
every point along the line. The state
convsntions Of both parties will meet
next month. Gov. Boies could secure q
renomiu alton II he would consent, but he
has an extensive law business which has
become very much neglected BY his inabil-
ity to give It his personal attention, and
he feels that he can not afford to be gov
ernor again even if he could be elected.
Among the other candidates are Lieut.
Gov. Bestow, State Senator Cleveland. Of
Shelby county, and Judge Allison, of Sioux
City. In the Republican party Frank
Jackson, who was secretary of state for
three terms. could b unanimously nomi-
mated if he would consent to make the race.
Lafe Young. editor Of the Des
Moines Capital, ex-Auditor Lyons
and Maj. Cpnger. who was min
lister to Brazil. are also talked
of. The Republican candidates for United
States senator are Col. w. p. Hepburn, ex-
Gov. John HI. Gear. George d. Perkins and
J. P. Dolliver. all Of them now members
of congress, ex-Attorney General John Y.
Stone and A. B. Cummings, . leading
lawyer ahd anti-Prohibitionist Of Des
Moines. Among the Democrats Boies is
the only man talked Of for senator. The
Republican party in Iowa misses Ret
Ciarkson very much since he has taken
up 10 residence IN the East. Politically
speaking this step was unwise. II he had
returned to Iowa after leaving Washing
ton City he could now have been elected
United States senator. But his ambition
is in the line of his profession. and he
would like to be the editor of a New
York daily newspaper. And there is
where he makes great mistake. He is
Western man and uses Western methods,
and neither are very popular in the East
But if he could become the editor of
Republican paper in Chicago he would
WELD tremendous influence. He IL now
in Los Angeles and will be here within .
couple Of weeks" The doctor leaves this
afternoon for Chicago and ~ he babe
good night to the reporter. he said: II
spent . long time in the Washington
building at tho Worlds fair and was
charmed with it Now that have seen
your state and met your people. believe
you cannot extol this magnificent state
too highly, and l go away carrying with
me the most pleasant impression"
