state convention. Mr.. Ketchum had
been mentioned in several parts of the
state as a very desirable man to bring
out as candidate for railroad COM
missioner. He is business man Of
many years experience in shipping
goods over railway lincs and seemed to
have just the qualities needed on that
board But he Went down to Des Moines
and put a stop to the whole thing. He
said: Here, boys, this man Dawson is
too good a man TO defeat. My coming
