i Des Moines, Sept. Sup at republican
state committee headquarters they say
that Governor Shaw is the man the peo-i
pie all want to hear this year. 1t is a
curious fact that while the senatorial
aspirants are occupying the positions
at the center of the stage and under the
red lights the people are all sending for
Shaw to talk to them. He is in more
demand than any other man in the
state thus far. For several years past
Dolliver has been the speaker most
called for and he has been the most ac-
commodating of all the big guns in the.
state. Dolliver always goes where the
state committee asks him to go. The
jump Is never too long, the train too
slow, the roads too dusty He never
finds fault. Marshall Treynor used to
say when he was managing the speak
ers that Dolliver was joy and a COM
fort because he never found fault. He
was a good soldier, for he knew how 10
! obey orders. In the years when Iowa

a few weeks in the east. Now Dolliver
hasn't been doing much of that in late
years. He has been making hay right

that's why in any county in the state
there are a lot of republicans who
would like to see the time come when
they could do Dolliver turn. He has
been making friends with a diligence
to make trouble in senatorial contest.
But it will not be this year
The writer has discovered absolute
proof of the theory of total depravity.
The other day at the board of control
loffices he was presented small sample
package of the smoking tobacco that is
\ furnished to the convicts at the peni-
ltentiaries. When the board recently
announced its intention to reduce the
| ration, and ultimately to cut it off en-
ltirely, there was a vigorous protest on

men who would quarrel for more of
llhat tobacco are totally depraved un-
lregenerate and moral perverts.
The Des Moines Leader, between gv-
rations on the expansion question, is
| finding time TO install $4,000 Goss
web perfecting 24-page press in its
office. 1t will be the second press of
such size or capacity in the state. The
Sioux City Journal, which always man
ages to keep a lap or two in the lead of
| the rest of Iowa newspa perdom in the
matter of mechanical perfection. put in
a similar press some months ago The
Leaders press will not be in use for two
| or three weeks.
The Des Moines papers have all been
showing the evidences of prosperity of
Hate, and especially the Leader and
| Capital. The Capital is setting more
type and printing more news. covering
the evening field better. than it has ever
done in this town. The Capital and
Register have been so diligently con-
testing for the honors of chief Cummins
lorganship that they have scarcely had
time for real lively exchange of COM
pliments for several weeks. Just now,
from reading the Capital, one would not
know but Mr.. Clarkson was nice,
sane. sensible old gentleman; and the
regular student of the Registers coll
umns would hardly have had reason
for some weeks past to suspect that Mr..
Young was the wicked, scheming, dan
gerous man that he has heretofore been
portrayed in those columns.
A Dubuque man who is in town today
says that a big company is soon to be
organized there to handle the zinc ores
of that region. The only difficulty that
has been experienced has been
incident to the fact that the
zinc business of the country is
practically all in the hands of
two big concerns which maintain inti-
mate relations and succeed pretty well
in eliminating competition. There is
lot of zinc in the Dubuque region and it
is easy to get at. The experience of the
new company VIII De interesting, be- |
cause it will indicate whether a sue
cessful fight can be made against the
combines.
Dubuque, by the way, is not the only
town that has suffered by reason of
the trust business. The other day the
Cedar Rapids Republican asked if |
somebody wouldn't please be specific
and name a trust that was doing busi !
ness in the state of Iowa to the injury
of somebody in particular. Well, the
Republican ought to be satisfied easily |
enough. 1t might examine into the case
of the oat meal mill at Cedar Falls that |
was operated successfully till it fell I
under trust control and was then locked |
up. Then there was paper mill in the
same town which had like experience
This is the statement of Cedar Falls
men. They say it is common knowledge
there that these two Industries were
closed on this account. Then, if the Re
publican wants some more instances, it |
might look into the case Of the Sioux /
City starch factory. sold the other day
to the trust, according to reports. and
