| Suggestion That Democrats in Hender-

Washington. May 27.-J. e. tTopkint
of Muscatine, speaking of Iowa politics,
said yesterday that the democrats of
Iowa had just one feeble chance of
breaking the solid republican congress
sional delegation from the Hawkeye
state this fall. They have just a
fighting chance Of winning in the Sec
ond district, now represented by Mr..
Rumple," said Mr.. Hopkins.
This district has a number of Ger
mans. and until recent years has been
normally democratic. Two years ago
they placed a particularly strong man,
Henry Vollmer, in the field, but still
they lost. 1t is possible they may win
there this time, but it is by no meana
certain, as the chances now are
against them. They might rs we'll not
nominate any one in the other districts,
as it is practically useless.
Il am inclined to be a democrat, but
I think it would be q gracious ans
deserving act OF the democrats in Gen.
Henderson's district would turn in and
indorse him, making his election unan-
imous.
Mr.. Rumple, When asked WiletheT
Mr. Hopkins represented conditions
correctly, stated that in the main he
did. He said the district was the
closest district in the state, but he
hoped to be nominated and win out
Mr. Rumple thought the congressional
convention would be held about the
time of the state convention.

to Washington this morning. He said
he had nothing to say in regard to

Iowa is going to make a poor show
] ing in butter this year, l fear, said
! State Daily Commissioner Wright.
! The indications are that this is the
! poorest creamery year we have had for
ten years or more. There are several
reasons for it. The live stock came thru
the winter in poor condition. There had
not been enough of the right kind OF
feed for the cattle and they started in
poor after dry year. Notwithstanding
that the grass is fine now the cattle are
rot as prosperous as p/ual. Then it is
unquestionably true that the farmers
gre turning to other things. The high
prices of everything raised on a farm
have turned the farmers away from
dairying. AS long as they can make
more money with beef cattle and hog
and even by selling corn and oats tn .
farmers will not keep up the cream
cries There is too much work about
the creamery business to have it keep
W when other forms of farming are so
profitable. Hence the reports indicate
that Iowa buttermaking is not going to
keep up this year to the high standard" :"
General James B. Weaver, of ColfaX.
mayor of the town, has been up in Min
nesota and has submitted to an inter-
view in which he says that General
Nelson A. Miles will be the democratic
candidate for president next time. Gen
eral Miles misfortunes continue.
The circular from the department of
Public instruction relative to the nor
rnal work in the colleges and acade-
mics will be sent out in few days. The
state board of education mas done fine
job of knitting together the various
branches OF school work. They com
menced with the handbook for Iowa
c;ded that every pupil who has COM
p!eted eight of the ten years work pro-
vided in that handbook may be eligible
TO admission to these private and secu-
lar normal schools. Then, a few years
ago, Professor Barrett and Professor
Seerley, with the aid of experts IN the
business, got out an outline of norma!
work for the teachers Institutes. This
is taken as the basis of instruction in
the accredited normal schools. 1t is also
provided. and this will be set out in the
circulars, that the members of the fac
ulty of these schools must be gradu-
ates of the State University or the
State Normal school or their equivalent
or have a state license. The schools
must be we'll equipped. The work will
follow general studies and to this will
be added special training in didactics.
This brings the various branches of
school work together nicely.
