purpose of voting a 8 per cent tax for
the benefit of this line. The promot-
ers are confident that the tax will be
voted by a handsome majority. Fair
field is surprising many of her neigh
bors and acquaintances. For many
years she was good little town, well
satisfied to be known as college
town, and evidently neither hoping for
nor aspiring to anything else. And
then she began to pave and to i'm
prove In various ways, and she began
to lead a strenuous life, and after her
years of quiet, restfulness she actually
enjoyed the strenuous life, and now
she does not seem to be able to get
enough of it. No enterprise seems
too large for her. and she may soon be

Register and Leader Tells of Kissing
Of Shaw.


The Register and Leader makes a
belated explanation as to the kissing
OF Secretary Shaw by the Cummins
delegates in the following manner:
1.-THE Shaw kissing story has gone
all over the country In form humiliat-
ing to Secretary Shaw and unfair to
the republican state convention.
"The fact as to the kissing incident,
as 5000 people in the Auditorium will
testify, was this: When the secre-
tary's name was mentioned by the
temporary chairman, 1t was greeted
with the usual cheers. These were
prolonged and finally kissing started
in various portions of the Auditorium.
The Kisses followed the cheers, and
many have thought that they were
started for the purpose of stopping the
cheering that the speaker might pro-
coed and release the delegates for the
noon adjournment and committee
meetings, rather than directed to Sec
rotary Shaw"

IOWA CITY MAN MAKES POSITIVE
STATEMENT OF -,
POSITION
FAVoRS SENATOR BALL
Mentions Also Claude Porter of Con.
tervIlIe-BaII Declines to Make a
Statement as to His Candidacy for
Governor

Iowa City, Aug. 4.-(special)-Hon.
~. j. Wade, of Iowa City, the idol of
the democracy of the Second congress
slonal district of Iowa, the only demo-
crat IN Iowa to hold seat in congress
during many years, Is not candidate
1or the nomination for governor, and,
{ moreover, he will not be one. If the
honor is formally preferred, he feels he
must decline.
On the eve Of the state convention,
he formally declared that the above
noted state of facts exists. He ex-
pressed the sentiment today, in an in
terview with representative of the
Courier, when he said: II am not a
candidate for the gubernatorial office.
will not accept the nomination if it
Is rendered"
Judge Wade has large hopes for his
party, however, as he ayerred: 81
think there Is bright prospect for the
success OF democracy in Iowa this
year. It was never brighter. believe
we can elect democratic governor.
Personally, am in favor of former
Senator George w. Ball. of Iowa City,
II he can be induced to enter the race
Former Senator Claude r. Porter of
Centerytlle would also be very strong
man. In fact, we have number Of
men In iowa, any one of whom would
make a strong candidate and a strong
governor"
Would Mean Sacrifices.
! The Iowa state congressman-juri is
not unappreeiative of the honor, how
ever, even though he does not see his
way clear to acceptance. He said:
Personally, am under many obliga-
lions to the democrats Of Iowa for the
kind expressions that have come to
my knowledge, concerning this nom
ination. Nevertheless, am so situat-
ed, from business standpoint, that
to enter the campaign would involve
too great sacrif1ces-not only of my
own interests, but those of others,
that have been confided to my care"
Judge Wade anticipates a redhot
fight, and he evidently believes that
certain republicans will come to the
aid of his partys candidate, for he
said today:
II expect to see one Of the liveliest
campaigns the state has had since
Horace Boies' successful candidacy
for governor. look to see a solid,
united democracy opposed to the
broken forces of the opposition. l
have no confidence in the ability of the
republicans to establish harmony The
wounds inflicted during the past few
months have been too deep to be so
readily healed"
