Special to Times-Republican.


Des Moines, July 20.--Some specu-
lating is being done here as to wheth-
err or not Secretary Leslie NJ Shaw is
not seeking by words Of praise to Kill
the boom Of Hon. George D. Perkins
for governor. The recent editorials
of Mr. Perkins in the Sioux CITY Jour-
nal counseling harmony and compro-
mise are still fresh in the minds OF
everyone who follows the political
trend. The editorials OF Senator Abe
Funk In support of Mr.. Perkins are
equally as fresh. Secretary Shaw Is rec
ognized as desiring to be known as the
candidate of the moneyed ans stand
buque as saying: TT looks as II
George D. Perkins Of Sioux City would
win the nomination for governor in a
walk"
Some time ago when AL. Bonner of
Cedar Falls was in the city he said
Perkins was preparing to make peace
with the Cummins people of the state
by making concessions and all that.
Politicians are asking today whether
or not anything better could be calcu-
lated to put a dampener on the cam
didacy of man seeking to get the
Cummins support than to have that
candidacy endorsed by the standpat
representative of the state and ma
| ton.
Hon. Henry Wallace Is making
many Chautauqua addresses this sum-
mer as usual and also speaking at re-
unions of old settlers and the like. 1t
lis Mr.. Wallace's plan to give a choice
Of several subjects to the Chautauqua
leaders and among them are farm top
les and rate legislation. In The great
majority of cases these addr asses are
to be delivered soon in the reservation
territory south of the C. B. & @.
tracks which seems to show that the
rate legislation question is rot losing
interest with the people dl ring the
summer months.
F. 1t Is the opinion of Mr.. Wallace, who
| will be one of the speakers at the reci-
4 procity convention In Chicago August
is and ~, that that conference will be
q great deal more important and be
given a great deal more after ton than
the leaders back Of it now realize Mr..
Wallace said today: There 8 no pol
tics in the conference. 1t Is con-
ference to consider the matter In its
broad sense, but the people of this
country are more deeply Interested
in this matter than public men are
aware The Iowa Swine Breeders AS
II int tn, of 70 To-, ~
In June, passed a resolution asking
the Iowa delegation in congress to take
what measures were necessary to pre-
i part of Germany. Few farm
ers, however. realize what will
happen to them If congressman i'm
agine that the swine breeders were
joking. Congressman may not imagine
what will happen to them II they takr
this resolution as joke. The dis
elimination on the part of Germany
Will hit the swine grower first and the
swine breeder Indirectly thru the grow
er second. There is no politics in this
conference to be held in Chicago. II
is high time that the farm err OF the
west did something to protect himself
The Apostle Paul once remarked that
the man who did not provide for his
own poor relations had denied the
faith, was worse than an irfidel, and ii
follows, Of course, that he ought to be-
kicked out Of the church. The west
ern congressman who does not LOOK
after the farmer and especially his OVID
constituents is unfaithful to his trust
and as soon as the farmer finds i. ont
he will be kicked out Of Office.
i Is Congressman w. p. Hepburn OF
the Eighth district too big man to
be defeated Is the question that Is be-
ing discussed among fire politicians II
Is generally admitted by all interests
now that there Is very strong element
In the Eighth district opposed to Hep
burn. 1t was admitted by standpat.
ter from that district today that the
railroad interests favored Iistric. At
torney Lewis Miles as Heplura's sue
cessor. The statement is made too
\ that Hepburn's friends are relying on
the fact OF his being the moss capable
man in the district to land lin the no
sition again. Col. Hepburn is a ma
tional and imposing figure ard IT is
pointed out that on just such other oc-
casions there mas been opposition and

there was no man big enough to run
against him. 1t is pointed on. in the
same connection also, however, tina,
the railroads nave never opposed him
before, tho such opposition may be for
the purpose of whipping him into line
on the rate question as it is claimed
that he deserted the railroad interests
In the last congress.
The question over the receipt of tax
es by bank not designated by thu
supervisors as a county depository is
to be before the supreme court at the
next term. The Bank Of Coin is al
legged to have received s5.919.95 in tax
es The county treasurer Of Page
county delivered to the bank tax re-
ceipts signed and the tax payers paiG
the money to. the bank and took the
receipts. This is recognized as Illegal
but Page county is seeking to recov-

never turned over to the county treas

The county claims that it ould be i'm
