Governor Shaw was in town couple
Of hours this morning and departed
from here for San Francisco to extend
an official welcome to the boys of the
Fifty first Iowa, now en- route from the
Philippines and expected to arrive
within a few days.
The governors coming to this city
was unheralded and consequently no
one was on hand to greet him. Mr.
Shaw came in from Sumner on the
Great Western belated train. He spoke
at Sumner Wednesday and expected to
go on to Dies Moines but as his train
was over three hours late and would
disarrange his plans for starting west
this morning, he wired to Mrs. Shaw to
meet him at Ames. The governor took
breakfast here at a modest depot hotel,
later taking No. 3 for Ames, and at
that place, accompanied by Mrs. Shaw
he boarded the fast mail for the west.

opposition party leaders now appreci-
/ ate that they have got on the wrong
side of the Philippine question and
would gladly drop it If they could find
way to dol gracefully.
Governor Shaw was this week the
victim of the meanest kind of a trick
i.perpetrated by leading democratic
newspaper of the state. The governor
accompanied the presidential party
across the state, and was given a pri-
| waite car on the presidential train. He
invited the daily newspapers of the
state to send representatives to Water
1 loo to meet the train and be his guests
on his private car. This invitation was
extended to democratic as well as re-
publican newspapers. The Des Moline.

cused himself by saying that he would
