A BOOM FOR KUEHNLE
State Papers Name Young Deniso'
Man as Gubernatonal Possibility.

i he Register ana Leader OIL jury
26th contained the following very
kindly notice of Hon. Carl F. Kuehnle
as a possible candidate for Governor.
Hon. Carl F. Kuehnle of Denison
may enter the race for the Republican
nomination for governor next spring.
So many republicans have urged
him to be candidate that he is Civ
ing the matter consideration. He
was in Des Moines few hours yes
terday. and while he said that he had
been compelled by the insistence of
some prominent men in the state to
consider the possibility of being a
candidate, he had not made up his
mind. and there was nothing to be
said as coming from him.
Mr.. Kuehnle was in Des Moines on
his way home from Seymour. where
he addressed a large gathering held UNI
der the auspices of the Pythians on
Wednesday. He has made some fifty
or sixty speeches at fraternal and
kindred gatherings this year and his
efforts have given him high standing
among the public speakers of Iowa. of
whom no state produces the equal.
While he has not been candidate
for office for himself. hitherto. he has
been close to the point where the
game of politics has been played.
However. he has consented to help
others. in politics. and has devoted his
chief attention to business. his sue
cess in which is one of the pleasing
things contemplated by his claims.
He has held high positions in every
circle in which he has exerted him
self. For instance, as an alumni of
the state University. he has twice
rived as president of the alumni as
soclation. place to which the
alumni have elected such men as
Frank 0. Lowden, James G. Berryhill
and others of like standing.
1t is not unlikely that Mr.. kuehnle
will enter the race for governor. He
resides IN the Tenth District which
also is the home of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Garst Next years contest.
however. is not a matter of district
organizations but it is anybody's fight
because of the primary election. each
candidate going to the whole people
with his claim. -
The above from the Register and
Leader came as a surprise to Denison
people. Mr. kuehnle while naturally
much pleased with the kindly COM
ment is not inclined to take the mat
ter too seriously at present. 1t would
be great compliment to Denison
should second governor be chosen
from among its citizens.
Mr.. kuehnle is one of the young
and active republicans of the state.
but at the same time is veteran in
the game of politics. His prominence
in the work of the Pythian order
gives him an extensive acquaintance
through the state. His friends will
watch development with much inter
est and if he decides to enter the race
will do SO with his characteristic
vigor.
