The. contest for railroad commission
err before the second republican state
promises to be the only
really interesting thing in connection
with the convention. The field is like
ly to be large one. Thus far the most
,Joy ,c at
chum, of Marshall county, who has the
Fifth district back of him. Frank
Of Atlantic. and Owen
Lovejoy, of Jefferson. are active can
didates. Mr.. Otteson. of Humboldt, Is
said to be candidate. Ed Stitz, Of
Clay county, was announced in his
county as a candidate, but 1t Is under
stood here he will not Tbs in the race
at all. There has been much talk the
past few days OF an effort to induce
Col. Welcome Mowry, OF Clutter, to be
a candidate again. He: got one term
and was beaten by Ed C. Brown, of
who Is finishing the term. but
who has not been announced as a can
didate for denomination and Will not be
a candidate. Senator r. L. Hogue, of
Monona county is being considered for
the place. He was In conference here
yesterday with friends and talked over
the matter and some of them reported
that he is actually a candidate. but
later in the day Senator Hogue stated
he was not In the race. 1t Is believed
however, that If he is assured of the
backing Of his district he will become
an avowed candidate at once. An
other who is considered is w w. Nor
row, of Alton. who Is president of the
state fair association and a very pop
ular man. It Is regarded as certain
that either Hogue or Morrow will be In
the race. but they Will not run against
each other. Inasmuch as both Col. d.
]. Palmer, and e. A. Dawson, the two
other members of the commission ara
second terms and not likely
to ask denomination, 1t is easily pos
sible TO make trades with a large field
Of candidates and 10 plan not only for
this year but for the next two years.
While the new law relating to the
opening of an asylum for inebriates and
at Knoxville, will not
go into effect until the asylum is for
1n;lly opened, some portions of the
law which WAS passed have already
gone into effect. and unless the pro-
visions of the law are observed some
trouble may ensue The clause which
makes II felony for anyone to give
