LACEY FOR GOVERNOR.
Ed Hunter Says Lacey Will Be "our
Candidate, Against Perkins.

Special to TlmeS-Republican.
Des Moines May 25.-The last edi-
ton of yesterday mornings Register
and Leader and the earlier editions of
this mornings issue contain the fol-
lowing interview with Ed Hunter:
The battle royal for the republican
nomination of governor will be waged
by George D. Perkins of Sioux City
and Major Lacey, according to e. H.
Hunter, who Is looked upon as one of
the best posted politicians in Dies
Moines. and who Is also considered the
spokesman of j. w. Blythe.
Hr. Hunter has made the announce
ment to friends in Des Moines and is
certain that will be the up-that
is as certain as any political forecast
can be-
In discussing the situation, Mr..
Hunter said: 1T is practically GER
tain that George D. Perkins of Sioux
City will be the candidate OF the anti
standpat crowd. He is in favor of
tariff revision and OF reciprocity. He
represents their sentiments. He Is
said to be in readiness to make the
race. altho he has not made formal
statement to that effect.
mo, we will not faal in the band
wagon and support him. He does not
represent the standpat views ana we
cannot stand for him.
Our candidate Will be Major Lacey
of the Sixth district. He Is wheel
horse of the republican party and will
be a good leader
1.-THE only question is that Major
Lacey may not desire to step out or
the congressional seat into the guber-
material chair, but our fellows desire
him."
The above statement made by Mr..
Hunter to friends here shows that the
contest two years hence will be
close one. While George d. Perkins OF
Sioux City has not made a personal
announcement OF his candidacy,
friends have. r. P Garrison in an
interview some time ago stated that
Mr.. Perkins was the logical man for
the place, and the latter has not de-
MED 1T.
while Mr.. Perkins opposed the
standpat machine in the recent state
convention, it is understood the plan TO
bring out Major Lacey was deter
mined upon some time ago, and 1t did
not cut any figure.
There are others who Will propapiy
enter the field within the next Two
wears. and there will doubtless be
good field to draw from when the en-

The Horse Market.

Trade on the horse market continues
active, with all classes on n steady
basis. Prices and general conditions
are much the same as last week. Good
10 choice heavy drafters are steady,
with principal demand coming fror,
local and eastern dealers. Official re-
ceipts yesterday We're EOS, and with
500 estimated for today the two-day
total is s96, against 1,123 for same time
last week and IT'S for corresponding
time last year. There is some export
demand principally for harness horses,
but not strong enough to initiate prices.
Good heavy horses of draft type are
ready sellers at a range of $175@225
and upward for prime qualities. In
ferior grades slower at S1O0M150. Ex-
pressers are steady at s140@1sO and
eastern chunks $110m155. Trade in
harness horses of good to choice qual-
ity is active, with prices fully steady,
Common and medium grades indiffer-
ent at $750125.

There Was a Large Supply, But
Buyers Bought Freely and
the Market Held Firm

Expected Increased Supplies of Hogs
Are Materializins, but General De-
mand Is Good and Prices Are Pretty

Are Advancing.

Chicago May 25.-Cattle-Nearly as
many were marketed here today as ar
rived during Monday and Tuesday. Ev-
identity the recent sharp advances in
prices have encouraged country ship
pers to send in more cattle, but buyers
were taking hold freely as usual today
and prices were steady III most in
stances. Heavy steers were slowest,
fat light and medium weights beng fla
vorab bic with buyers.
1t was clearly evident from buyer
movements that the demand for all
kinds Of beef cattle has not narrowed
in the least. and opinion Is general that
quite liberal mid week supplies will
not cause any serious turn in market
conditions. In fact, belief is becoming
more general that higher prices for fat
cattle will rule, at least for the next
six weeks or two months.
hogs.
Expected increased supplies are
showing up this week, the general de-
mand being good at recent declines.
With 10000 arrivals today. safes were
made at unchanged to &c lower prices.
Hogs continue to show an increasing
volume in the marketward movement
and are also showing a gradual in
crease in weight, the quality and
weight of the 10000 arrived yesterday
being better and heavier than on any
Tuesday in the last couple of months.
There is apparently pretty good
demand for hogs. but with the increas-
Ing number in sight at leading primary
points the packers are able to prevent
any turn to stronger prices that can be
held for any length of time.
Sheep.
Prices ar advancing for lambs, with
continued light supply and brisk de-
Esand. The prices TO-DAY for clipped
lambs were 4.O0@6.7o. mostly at go
and upwards. Wooded lambs were In
strong demand at 6.59Ga7.45. Western
sheep were in lively request at 1000

THE INTERVIEWER.
[Regtster and Leader.1

'.Just one more important point, ii
you please" said r. p. Garrison yes
terday, "as to the candidacy OF Hon.
N. S. Ketchum for the republican
nomination for railroad commissioner.
The industrial classes OF the state
want place on that board In common
with the farmers and the lawyers, and
surely 1t must be admitted that the in
dustries should be given representa-
ton in a state department which so
largely concerns their business and
growth. BY industries, as used here,
we mean the manufacturing and job
bling interests of the state, such as
manufacturing and milling, grail
lumber, brick and tile. Goa, and min
ing, wholesale and retail merchants.
All of these classes should go hand in
hand with the farmers in the upbuild-
ing of the business and labor of all the
people of Iowa. The gist of the whole
situation is to give all classes repre-
sentation in order that Iowa may
make the greatest possible progress
and growth.
THE Iowa board of railroad COM
missioners has always been composed
of two farmers and a lawyer, or two
lawyers and a farmer 1t will be gen
orally admitted that that is wrong.
This state needs greater growth on In
dustrial lines, therefore the laws and
customs Of the people should give
greater encoura cement to the indus
tries and business interests. This mat
ter concerns all the people of Iowa,
therefore they should be watchful and
helpful to their own welfare. We can't
all be farmers and lawyers. The great
majority Of the people OF the cities and
towns represent other interests, and
they feel that the other interests shoult
have representation with the farmers
and lawyers on the board of railway
commissioners. They are not antagon-
lied against the farmers and lawyers
but merely ask representation in order
that the state may have greater
growth through equal care and eonsid-
GRAFTON for all the interests of Iowa
That is the reason why Hon. N. S
Ketchum has so many friends in the
state, and l think that his nomination
and election as railroad commissions
will be greatly helpful to all Iowa" :.
