Ames, Nov. S.-Andrew Townsend
Hisey, secular, wheelbarrow candidate
for governor of Iowa, spent several
hours in Ames Wednesday, While
here he talked freely of his campaign
just closed and stated that while he
was not certain of the result he was
confident of success. In case he should
be defeated he lays it to the fact that
he was abused and maltreated by
Tama police during the chautauqua
in that city.
They broke my jaw, knocked out
a tooth and hurt MY stomach" he
declared, until l was kept out of tho
race for twenty-cne days. In this
time l could have made number Of
important speeches.
Wheelbarrow a Principle.
While here he was asked why he
started his campaign with a wheel
barrow.
THE wheelbarrow," he stated, rep
resented a principle. The fact that
a man who labored with his hands could
get place on the ballot was a strong
one and 1t got me lots of votes from
laboring men, l could wheel it forty
miles in day and make three or four
speeches very we'll when / first started
out, but later in the campaign l found
7 r,n,,1l
abandoned the wheelbarrow at Cornell
College, and have since taken the

Six hundred students of Drake Uni
versity got buggy and hauled mo
down Walnut street and clear over
to the capitol and right up the steps.
What wanted was to get to see Gov
ernor Cummins but he ran away and
hid in the cellar. At least, that is
what they said and 1 guess it is true"
He felt very happy over the recep-
ton of Drake students
Saw Cummins.
IT did see Cummins when I was at
Cedar Rapids. rode out to Marion
on the same car with him. l explain
ed to him that he was beaten and IL
he would throw his vote to me l could
win easier, but he would not compro-

been at Sioux City with him.

I agreed to the signers of my petition

votes, two at Mechanicsville have
$500 and 5000 EACH and the Pennsyl-

Pixies Peak that is in the race. Speak
ing of the Grit, Mr.. Hisey said that he
thought much of his influence in the
state came from the nice write ups he
had received from eastern papers. The
Grit gave him very complete account
and sent him half dozen papers.
