The Hepburn People Bring Out
a Candidate Against Sena-
tor Lewis
CONGRESSIONAL
RACE:
T TIT
Likely That Lewis Followers Will Re-
taliats by Bringing Out Man for
Congress In Page County = Hepburn
Seems to be Somewhat Scared ove',
the Outlook.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. 2O.-D. L. Bogart, of
Shenandoah, has been brought out by
the Hepburn people in Page county as
q candidate against Senator Lewis and
the result will he that a Lewis candi-
date will be brought out in that county
for congress against Hepburn. Infor-
nation lately from THAT county Is to
the effect that Congressman Hepburn
realizes that IL he is returned to corl-
gress he must make peace with Sen-
ator Lewis and he Is ready at any
time to make overtures of peace. For
the first time since Congressman Hep
burn was first elected he is making the
second tour of his district inside Of
four months. 1t is an unusual thing
for him to make a tour Of his district
at all He made one just before leav-
Ing for the Philippines and is making
another now on his return Informa-
ton lately had from that district is to
the effect that on his return Congress
man Hepburn found his district in more
Of an unsettled condition than he an
ticipated. He found that A, l. Smith
OF Mount Ayr had been employing his
time to good purpose and that there
was considerable disaffection. He has
feared that Senator Lewis would be-
come candidate for congress in. Page
county. It is had on the best Of
authority, however, that Senator Lewis
does not desire congressional honors,
at least at this time, hut he does de
sire returning to the senate. He will
be candidate for reelection and has
a strong following In the county. The
speeches he has been making are said
to have strengthened his position with
the people who recognize IN him q man
OF ability and one who will mot cater
to the railroad or corporate interests
The bringing out Of Bogart in oppo-
sition to him Is said by politicians of
that county to be q move to open the
way to make peace with Lewis and
get him to withdraw his opposition to
Hepburn provided Bogart is gotten out
Of the way Of Lewis. It is said that
the circulation Of Senator Lewis ad-
dress In that county has been an i'm
mense success and has started the
people reading both sides Of the ques-
ton. The friends of Senator Lewis
recognize that they are handicapped by
the lack of newspapers with which to
reach the people while the opposition
has an abundance OF papers. Notwith-
standing this, however, the people are
getting anxious for the other side and
the failure to get such newspapers is
only whetting their appetites for the
information.
State Dairy Commissioner III. r.
Wright proposes to show In his forth
coming report that this is not cattle
feeding state, but a dairy state. He
claims that while Iowa feeds and ships
for slaughtering a great amount Of
steers the reputation is misplaced
when compared to the dairy interests.
To prove this he has obtained from the
state auditor information on the num-
ber and value of cattle of all kinds
in the state. These figures he claims
shows that the value Of the cows in
the state which includes all of three
years old or over amounts to the value
of all steers Of one year OLD Plus thOse
Of two years plus those Of three years,
plus all the cattle in feeding and plus
all the bulls to the value Of 92,34s,017
which is within $1S1, ,083 Of oil the bulls
in the state If the heifers Of one and
two years are added to the cows the
value exceeds that Of all the other cat
tie in the state to the amount Of nearly
$11,000,0O0. Here are some of the fig
ures on which Commissioner Wright
proposes to show the value of the
dairy interests Of the state:
