Des Moines, June 15.-Deputy Sec
retary of State Daniel A. Hites today
confirmed the report that he will be a
candidate for secretary of state, adj
ding the provision that the conditions
remain unchanged. II have been a life
lorg and ardent republican," said Mr..
Hites today, "and shall be repub-
| lican candidate and not the candidate
of any faction OF the party. I believe
that family rows should be kept in the
background and that factional rows
in the party should also be kept In the
back ground. find that great ma
jol,ity of the party is now in favor of
harmony and believe that II united
party should fight the common foe
| rather than split in factions and fight
| each other. / am an admirel' of Gov
ernor Cummins and If he is candidate
for third term will support him.
believe he should be elected for a third
term. The fact is that Governor Cum
Minis has made a most excellent gov
error and we never have had an exc
cutive council in the history Of the
state that is the equal of the present
executive council
''At the same time Governor Cum
Minis and Mr.. Blythe are but individu-
ais in the party and their fight Is
largely personal one. don't be-
ilieve that that should enter into a
81 oil ic ,,ot nf
the questions on which the factions
are split that is state question. All
are national questions and ] believe
in state officials sticking to the boun-
dairy lines ofathe state. 8Isbelieve Cum
minis made a mistake in putting into
his inaugural address the discussion
of Canadian reciprocity. It is a ma
tional question.
"a large number of my friends have
discussed the matter with me and if l
become a candidate as is my present in
tention, shall be a candidate Of the
party and will not favor any faction
of the party. I have friends in both
factions"
The city Of Marshalltown, It is un-
derstood, is in the race to secure the
Holiness Association annual camp
meetings. A proposition has been made
by Oskaloosa and now another has
been made by Marshaltomn. Des
Moines is also striving to Keep the To-
cation here. The real desire to secure
the camp meetings of the association
is based on the fact that it is proposed
to erect a college and theological
school, which, it is expected, will grow
into university. ''We do not think
that it is right that our children go to
institutions that teach more football
and infidelity than branches Of know
ledge" said one of the members of the
association, Chicago evangelist, to-
day. 1--WE believe that the tendency
of the schools of the present day is to
run too much to those things and with
them to infidelity. The Chicago uni
yersity has taken hell out of the bible
and if you take hell out you take heav-
en- out also and then you have nothing
left. We propose to build up a uni
versity where there will be no football
and athletics, but where they will be
taught sound doctrine"
