SENSIBLE persons are not worrying

IMAGINE the feelings of John F.

after enlisting in the navy that he was
one of ten heirs to fortune of 4,0O0,-

JOHN HERRIOTT, ex-treasurer of

considering the advisability of doing
the same.
PETTIGREw, Allen and Lentz are
leading the push on the toboggan slide

Or course it was in Missouri that a

quite likely claim the place, the sena-
torship from this district should go to
some man who knows less law and has

IT is noticeable that thus far all of
the districts have one or more candi-
dates for state offices, with the excep-
ton of the Sixth. In the First, Judge
A. r. Dewey of Washington is candi-
date for supreme judge. In the Sec
ond, David Brandt of Clinton is a can
didate for lieutenant governor. In the
Third Senator w. f. Hartman OF
Hampton is candidate for governor,
and s. M. Weaver of Iowa Falls is a
candidate for supreme judge. In the
Fourth r. G. Barrett of Usage is can
didate for state superintendent. In
the Fifth Welcome Mowry of Tama
county is a candidate for railroad COM
missioner. The Sixth has no candi-
dates. In the Seventh A. B. Cummins
of Des Moines and Sidney A. Foster OF
Des Moines are candidates for governor.
Judge c. A. Bishop of Des Moines is
also candidate for supreme judge. In
the Eighth Judge III. Nj. Towner OF
Corning is a candidate for supreme
judge. In the Ninth John Herriott OF
Stuart is candidate for governor. In
the Tenth Judge Zala r.. Church OF
Jefferson is a candidate for judge. In
the Eleventh Geo. ID. Perkins of Sioux
City is a candidate for governor. 1t is
doubtful whether the Sixth district
Will have any candidates of its own
this year or not. 1t was rumored that
Prof. A. w. Stuart of Ottumwa would
be candidate for superintendent, but
he has announced that he will not try
for the nomination until two year,
from now. Unless the Sixth should
advance candidate the delegates from
there will be the most popular at the
convention as every one of the candi
dates will be after them.
