THE DEMAND FOR EXPERIMENT STATIONS,

II has been announced from Austin that the COVER
nor has not determined upon any matters to be
called TO the attention Of the legislature in the extra
session further than those mentioned in the official
CALL and that delegations from various parts of the
State Austin at this time in order to have certain
subjects submitted to the extra session are really
"wasting time"
Notwithstanding this announcement the governor is
being visited daily by citizens from many localities
who insisting that the legislature snail be asked to
consider matters which they advocating. Undoubt
edy Of these objects of Statewide import
ana ought to have had legislative attention before
this 1t is possible, therefore that the extra session
may be asked to consider of these other questions
u reasonable dispatch of the main business occurs.
In the event that new subjects submitted the de-
mand which goes up from tho late industrial conven-
ton held at Hisboro for the establishment of State
agricultural experiment stations ought TO command
much attention any other. The necessity 70: these
stations has been emphasized by the appearance lat
tIly in the State Of crop destroying It would
be Tart OF the work of such institutions these ex-
pertinent stations to study the best and easiest
of protecting crops well the character of crops
adapted to the various soils and the methods Of cult
walton. We have already practical results flow
from the station connected with the Agricultural and
Mechanical college and the abors Prof Maly
1t is time that the State were giving more of
fetal attention to its vast and rapidly developing
agricultural interests We getting away from the
onecrop idea and vital questions are arising daily
among the farmers that require for answer careful sci
entfc or experimental research The State owes it to
itself too TO make adequate provision for the annual
publication Of agricultural and Industrial statistics
II is proposed to locate three of these experiment
stations IN the state, in North Northwest Texas
one in Central and in South or Southeast Texas
The fact that the present legislature has already
shown it's friendness to this proposition ought to
prove factor in influencing the to again sub

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
HON. W. H. KLEMME A CANDIDATE
Has Finally Decided to Enter the
Race. A Brief Sketch Of
His Career.

1t is with pleasure that we present
the name of Hon. VIM. H. Klemme,
of Ridgeway, to the republicans of the
great state of Iowa as a candidate for
the office of Lieutenant Governor. Up
to few days ago 1t was the general
opinion that he would be candidate
for state senator from this district, and
he had partially consented to let his
name be used in that connection, but
during the past two weeks he has
received many letters from all sections
of the state urging him to be candi.
date for Lieutenant Governor, and
after consulting with local politicians
and thoroughly considering the matter,
he has decided to enter the race.
Mr.. Klemme needs no introduction
to the people of Winnesheik county.
He has been resident of this county
nearly forty years, and in that extended
period has formed wide acquaintance
and has been connected with the
county's interests socially, CONNER
cially and politically, so that he is
known by the most of our people.
Three times he was elected to the
house Of representatives from this
county, and served in four sessions,
always attending faithfully to his
duties and serving the people to the
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1901-04-03

best of his ability, his constant aim
being to curtail expenses whenever
practicable, thus saving money for the
tax payers. In his long service in this
capacity he became acquainted with
leading men from all parts Of the state,
and grew to be one Of the most valued
members of the House. His best work
was done in the committee room,
where he might be found at almost
any time, carefully considering the
merits of all proposed legislation.
Again, in the memory Of this writer
Winnesheik county has had but one can
didate for state office. and we feel
that 1t is time that one of her citizens
should occupy an honored place in the
state house.
1t Is not strange that Mr.. Klemme
should be our candidate FOR this posi-
tion. Besides his public career as
representative, he has always been
prominent at home where he has filed
many of the local offices, and from a
poor boy he has risen to one of the
wealthy men of this section. He has
acquired competency and has his
business affairs arranged so that he is
prepared to retire from active business
life, and feels that II the people of Iowa
should see tit to elect him to this
exalted position, he will be glad to
serve them.
A brief sketch of the life Of Mr..
Klemme may be of interest at this
time. He was born on his fathers
farm near Blue Creek, Franklin
county, Indiana, Feb. II, ls49, and in
March 1862, accompanied his parents
to Iowa. The father purchased tract

Released by Habeas Corpus.

A petition of Herman Olson for re-
lease from Jail called Judge A. n. Hob
son and Reporter Comstock to Decorah
last Wednesday. Herman Olson was
in Jail, charged with burglary and
stealing $1.75, and had acknowledged
guilt before Justice Barthell, but after
wards changed his pleading, and
through Atty. E. p. Johnson asked for
release OH habeas corpus proceedings.
The testimony in the hearing showed
that Olson had been visiting at the
place, and had authority to take what
he wanted, and had returned the
money, consequently he was released.

p. Parker of Fayette, Iowa.
Mr.. Klemme has always affiliated
with the republican party. He served
as Justice of the Peace at Ridgeway
for fourteen years and as Postmaster
for four years. In 1898 he was nomi-
mated by the republicans of this county
for representative and served in the
25th General Assembly on the follow
ing standing committees: Municipal
Corporations. Private Corporations,
Printing, Labor, and School for Deaf
and Dumb. He was also chairman of
the visiting committee to the Home
