coming campaign. Afterward Senator
Dick said:
"Tne President is greatly interested
in the result of the congressional elec.
tion and he does not hesitate to say so.
Rightfully, he feels that he has inau-
gurated policies which he is hopeful of
concluding successfully. This only
can be accomplished with the help of
republican majority in the Sixtieth
congress. The President is ready to
do all he can to bring about a republi-
can victory in the coming campaign.
This does not mean that he is going
on the stump"
Besides the strong Endorsement of
the President. with which the Ohio
platform is to be featured there is to
be a "standpat" declaration regarding
the tariff.

He Asks No Favors Of Empire Demo-
cratic Machine.
New York, Aug. 1.-William R.
Hearst has decided to run for governor
as an independent candidate. The state
committee of the Independent league, a
Hearst organization, met yesterday at
the Gilsey house and decided the
league shall hold state convention in
this city Sept. II to nominate Hearst
for governor and put a full state and
judiciary ticket in the field.
1t was announced that the league will
seek no affiliation with the regular
democratic party-that it will go ahead
as an Independent movement. If the
democrats see fit to indorse Hearst and
the league ticket, well and good, but
no favors will be sought from the
heads of the democratic machine.

Convention Hall, Des Moines, Aug. l.
(SpeciaD D-Governor Cummins has
control of the state republican conven-
tion and will assume ownership when
the permanent organization goes into
effect.
He will be renominated with Senator
Warren Garst for lieutenant governor
and all the other candidates Cummins
men or uncontested aspirants. This Is
the prospect late this afternoon. with
the convention adjourned and waiting
for the credentials committee to make
its belated report, That will come pos.
sibly by o'clock, but more probably
not before Z, and the convention now
promises to last until tomorrow.
There will not be split. The only
question is over the nomination OF
Garst and the Cummins forces with
their majority in the credentials com.
mittee, will no doubt seat enough Cum.
minis delegates to make Garst win
Whether the Wapello, Jefferson and
Jasper delegations will be heard is still
question, and there is wide differ.
ence Of opinion among the delegates
One thing is sure, Cummins can kill
all the hopes Of the Perkins delegation
from Wapello county if he SO desires
but he does not have to have eithe,
that county or Jefferson or Jasper to
win. The resolutions committee may
make only one report, though it is
pretty nearly evenly divided with the
Cummins men in the majority Moth
ing Of It's report will be made public
until after the credentials committee
reports, but it Is known that one of the
Cummins members submitted draft
of resolutions to the Perkins members
one of whom said they would be en-.
tirely satisfactory to the standpatters
There Is every probability that the tar
iff plank will be one that will satisfy
both sides. Following are the commit
tees named:

j. Q. Emery, state food and dairy
commissioner lectuTed in the Opera
House Monday night upon the ques-

assisted by Mr.. Clark, one Of the dairy
and food inspectors of this state. Up
on the stage, he had displayed large
variety of all kind Of foods, such as
tomatoes, canned meats, catSup. bak-
ing powder, condiments, milk, cream
cheese. etc, which he had with him,
to illustrate to the audience such ar
ticleS as had been already found to be
adulterated. His address was very
interesting and pointed out the ne
Cessity Of purchasing and encouraging
the purchase of only pure foods. The
amount of poison taken into the SyS-
tenn was shown to be much larger and
more Injurious than most persons i'm
agine. We believe his lecture will re-
suit in great good to tue people of
this community.
