COL. KILBOuRNE TALKS.

Colonel Kilbourne was seen yester-
day and asked the question as to what
he was doing to secure the nomination.
His reply was characteristic. 81 am do

deal of talk about the opening of the
Kilbourne headquarters, that the work
of organization in my behalf would at
once begin, ETC., but there is nothing in
it. am more interested in my busi
ness, that has grown from small be-
ginning to large concern, than am
in politics. All my life have been op-
posed to what is known as boodling in
politics and l shall not begin now"
"Is it a fact that Lentz is opposed to
your nomination."

candidate for congress no man could
have done more for MIN than l did. If
it had been my son in the field l could
not have done more. Yet LentZ might
not be as strong for me as my friends
expect"
What are the prospects for your
nomination."
my friends all over the state are
very warm in my behalf, but have not
announced my candidacy. 1t would
seem to me that If the sentiment in my
favor in my party were as strong as
represented it would not require much
of what is known as organization in
my behalf. The office of governor is
not such a prize after all. 1t is only
matter of honor, and there are some
things that even governor cannot do.

SENATOR
Some time ago William Jennings
Bryan and Johnson were guests at my
home, and sitting on the porch one eve

of making the race for the senate. He
said that he had no idea of doing SO as

was amended so as to have them elect

INNOCENCE ABROAD"

The Leader attempts to make capital
of the fact that the Secretary and
Treasurer of The Marietta Register Co.
who records the doings of the annual
meetings of this company, attached his
name to the nominating petition of
one Jacob H. Dye. The person refer
red to, like many other Republicans,
signed the petition. 1t is one of Dyes
schemes to get Republicans rather
than Democrats on his paper. An ex-
animation of that paper disclosses the
names of former Republican candidates
as we'll as others. The person referred
to in the Leaders great CD expose
signed the paper without being aware
that he had pledged himself to vote for
him, and when advised of that fact at
tempted to secure the erasure of his
name from the paper. Neither did he
vote for Dye.-Register.
'The person referred to" is Mr.. E.
S. Alderman, one of the directors, also
Secretary and Treasurer of the Mariet-
ia Register Company, and who is look
ed upon as a gentleman of keen per-
ception and good business ability.
The important position which he oc-
cupies is of itself evidence of the su-
perior qualifications which he possesses
and we cannot at all agree with the
Register, of which paper his father is
manager and his brother is editor,
when it states that Mr.. Alderman did
not know what he was doing when he
signed Jake Dyes petition. Neither
can we believe that man with Mr..
Alderman's wide experience and greas
knowledge of the affairs of the world
could be caught up with one of the
schemes of Jake Dye or any other
man. 1t is indeed grave reflection
upon his good sense for the Register to
say that Mr.. Alderman signed the
paper without being aware that he had
pledged himself to vote for him"
(meaning Dye). The heading of Dyes
petition is very plain English, printed
in very plain type, and reads as fol-
lows:
WE CERTIFY THAT WE HAVE
NOT SUBSCRIBED TO ANY OTHER
NOMINATION OF A CANDIDATE
FOR THE ABOVE OFFICE, AND WE
EACH CT- Us HEREBY SEvERALLY
PLEDGE OURSELVES TO SUPPORT
AND VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE
WHOSE NOMINATION IS HEREIN
REQUESTED.
In view of the fact that his name
was attached to Mr.. Dyes petition,
headed as above, it is nothing short OF
an assault upon Mr. Aldermans in
telligence for the Register to charge
him, by innuendo at least, with being
unable to read at all or not capable of
interpreting the meaning of a sentence
after he has read it.
The attitude of the Register toward
its Secretary and Treasurer. as set
forth in it's vicious assault of Saturday
evening, which is reproduced above, is
of an extraordinary character, and, as
the Leader is an advocate of justice be-
tween man and man, it cannot sit idly
by and see fellow citizen thus abused
without entering a vigorous protest.

BELIEVES IN REFORM PLAN.
Warden Hunter on the Reformatory at
AnamoSa,

Des Moines, June 19.-Warden Will
liam A. Hunter of Anamosa peniten-
tiary, who was in Des Moines visiting
the board of control, in speaking of the
proposed conversion of the prison into
a reformatory similar to those provid-
ed for in other states, said he believed
the change feasible one. This is a
matter that has been discussed ever
since the board of control went into
power" he said. 81 have no doubt it
next winter. 1t is in no sense an eX-
has been tried in other states and it
has proved to be success. The usual
limit of age in those permitted to go
to the reformatory is 80 or 35 years.
Those older than that are sent to the
penitentiary. OF course criminals con-
victed on charges of murder would not
be sent to the reformatory."
Warden Hunter was asked concern
ing the large falling off in population
at Anamosa. There has been a heavy
falling off," he said. about the time
took charge in 1898, the high water
mark of population was reached. There
were then 642 convicts. Now the pop
ulation has fallen to 449."
How do you account for the heavy
decrease?
Il think it is largely due to the fact
times are more prosperous and it is
not difficult now to find employment.
OF course, there is a certain percent
age of the habituaily criminal that are
always in prison and that merely leave
one institution to enter the doors of
another in a short time"
Warden Hunter visited the board of
control Office yesterday for the pur,
pose of comforting with State Archi,
tect Liebbe on repairs needed in the
cell house at Anamosa. He is also in
terested in the matter of providing EN-
ployment for the woman inmates OF
the penitentiary. The men are EN-
ployed IN the construction of the
buildings at Anamosa, but the women
have little to do and are anxious to be
employed. The board of contro
hopes to get around the difficulty by
letting the women at Anamosa dc
some of the sewing needed at Other
institutions.
Warden Hunter speaks of Mrs. Mar
garet Hossack as model prisoner, ant
says she is trying to make the best o
her circumstances. In abiding to the
recent discovery of a pocketbook con
tanning a large sum by Gustav Ham
ann, one of the prisoners, Wardel
Hunter said it would have been i'm
possible to recover the property ha
the convict not given it up.

A NOVEL TEMPERANCE TEST.
Muscatine Cold Water People Will
Canvass Each School District.

Muscatine June 20.-(SpeciaD-
Muscatine county temperance people

timent of the county. Prominent
workers have been assured that the
people do not want the saloons sup
pressed or even that they conform to
law. Confident that outside of Mus
catine city the people are in favor Of
regulation or suppression they pro-
pose that some one in each school dis
trict of the county circulate petition
declaring for temperance and the sup
preston of open saloons. The i'm
preston in prevalent here that at the
state republican convention an attempt
will be made to reduce the 65 per cent
of the mulct law to SIS per cent. The
outcome of the crusade is awaited with
much interest and if Muscatine county
is still for temperance the state at
large will be claimed to be so in much
greater proportion,
