Candidate for Governor-Iis View
of Ioxvo tSo1tstc.


Kansas City. Mo. May 15.-Cato Sells,
who was delegate at large from Iowa
to the democratic national convention
and chairman of his delegation, passed
thru Kansas City on his way home
from a business trip thru the south Mr..
Sells was district attorney under Presi-
dent Cleveland and has been prominent
ly identified with the democratic o-gan-
ization in his state for many years
There is no truth in the statement.
that the democrats of Iowa are trying
to organize or have organized public
ownership party" said Mr.. Sells. Our
recent conference was the most widely
attended and most hopeful meeting of
democrats which has been held In the
state for years, but it was essentially A
democratic conference. The dominant
idea was campaign in the state OIL
purely state issues without any special
reference to national issues. We pro-
pose to stand for an equitable taaxtion
of all property without discrimination
The railroad interests of our state abso-
lutely control the dominant wing of the
republican party. We shall insist that
the railroads pay their fair share OF the
taxes and that franchises OF public SER
vice corporations be assessed at their
actual value. There was no suggestion
from any quarter which could be inter-
preted as showing desire to organize
public ownership party.
THE political condition in Iowa is
this: The leaders of the dominant re-
publican faction, j. W. Blythe. general
attorney for the Burlington; Judge N
NJ. Hubbard. general attorney of the
Northwestern for Iowa, and Governor
Shaw, will make a determined fight 10
retain their control. Thru this influence
the railroads have been protected They
are now seeking to nominate either
Maj Conger or Senator Trewn for gov
ernor. Conger seems to have the advan-
tage thru the advertising he has OBJ
tained as minister to China during the
recent troubles. Cummins represents
the republican interests opposed to ma
chine and railroad domination. He is Il
clean, able man and his professions
have been along high order of states
manship. But he has at no time suuars-
ly committed himself upon the issues
which have been pressed by the inde-
pendent press that is making the fight
for him. 1t was the railroad and ma
chine influence that defeated him when
he opposed Gear for senator and later
defeated him when he sought appoint-
ment at the time of Senator Gears
death. If Cummins should win he
would. of course, control the convention
and to be consistent the platform upon
which he runs must declare for the
principles which have been inslstent,y
demanded by those who urge his candi-
dacy. Unless the platform is outspoken
along these lines professions would
count for but little.

the crop is very uneven, mas made slow
growth. and is generally in need of

The general abundance Of rain over a
large part of Nebraska, Kansas and
Southern Missouri has somewhat
checked the progress of the winter
wheat, but elsewhere in the winter
wheat belt the condition of this crop

Ohio In Texas no Improvement is re-

sas. On the Pacific coast reports con-
tinue favorable except from extreme
Southern California.
Spring wheat seeding is practically
completed, and the carly sown is root

winds have caused some damage to
spring wheat in South Dakota.
Seeding of oats continues in the ex-
treme northern districts and harvesting

tine greater part of the southern states
the crop has suffered much from

In the western and central portions

-MashingtoJi, May 15.--Mrs. Lyman j..

are entertained as to her recovery. Yes
terday the secretary was unable to at

Mrs. Gage is suffering from rheuna
tism, accompanied by low fever and
other symptoms both painful and dam

clans. is paying the penalty of too great
devotion to her social and official duties.
Last winter Mrs Hay. wife of the sec
. retary of state. was in mourning for her
mother, and in her absence and from
the fact that there was no vice presi-
dents wife Mrs. Gage had to bear the
brunt of all the official entertainments.
Her health began to decline in the
early winter. but she bravey remained
at her post. She told her friends tina:
only Will power enabled her to keep up
during the trying ordeal of the inaugu-
raj festivities. Then she had the trou-
BILE and fatigue of moving from one
home to another. and shortly after this
was accomplished she took to her bed
