night ago, "a still hurt has been
made for evidence that Shaw

cash investment. Captain AZ.
M Head of Jefferson, one Of the
Cummins leaders, has progress
led far enough in his inquiry to
fsay upon the subject: 1T is
an undisputed fact that the
thirtieth general assembly of
Iowa was so impressed with the
inlpro priety Of Governor Shaw's
aectien with the National
Life Trust company that it
enacted a statue expressly for
bidding any state official whose
duty requires him to participate
IN the regulation and taxation Of
an insurance company or build
ing and loan asst citation, to own
stock therein. If Shaw should
be nominated for president it
would be most unfortunate for
the republican party, as he
would be asked too many embar-
RAISING questions.
