Iowa girls have risen to the occasion.
After rising they sat down hard aaa
enpha,Ically on the proposition to tax

man marry her except for herself alone.
She does not propose that trading
stamps or any other inducement shall

pose. The offer must come un!nduenc.

she will accept him or not, Just as size
chooses.
Those Iowa solons. though married
men themselves. do not understand wo.

pretend to be going the other way
that is. they should make n law forbid.
diug marriage only under impossible
conditions, and there wouldn't be a girl

first man who asked her to.

IN Fifth DISTRICT
HUGHES HAS THREE ANNOUNCED
oPPoNENTS-BIG FIGHT Is ON
FOR CONGRESS.

Filth congressional district during the
last week with the entry of three can
dldates in the congressional race Ia
succeed Hon. James Hughes, has 1T
up the old Fifth and the launching OF
three b0oms within one week gives
promise OF heavy weather for the pres.
ent congressman before he makes the
race once more.
Congressman Hughes visited Blue.
field about ten days ago and announc.
ed that he would he candidate for
reelection, and at the time II was
supposed he would not have the least
opposition, the nomination to be
handed him on d silver platter, How.
ever, he had no more than made his
announcement than ont came three
other Republicans. who have large fol.
lowlngs In the district, with the an.
nouncement that they are candidates
for the nomination. The gentlemen
VINO viii contest with Congressman
Hughes are Edward Cooper, of Bran.
well, James A. Strother. of WEIGH, and
John a. Sheppard of Williamson.
Mr. Cooper Is wealthy coal on.
orator and is associated with the
Mann interests. lie Is said to be
backed by influential friends anil hin
campaign will he managed by experl.
ehced politicians. James A. Strother
is remembered in Charleston as one
OF the brothers who figured in the BY.
weaters incident and served as a mem.
Der Of the house Of delegates from Nc.
Do@e'' county. John A. Sheppard Is
at present the prosecuting attorney of
Mingo county and is said to be one OF
the most able lawyers OF the State
with n high professional standing and
quite capable Of putting up a strenu.
Gus fight in the political arena.
That there will be hard fight 10
dlsplace Hughes In the next congress
s'onal convention none care 10 deny,
His friends assert that he will again
tmmple down all opposition, but they
are watching every movement Of the
opposition In order 10 be ready for
the unexpected should It make Its
appearance. All agree that IL a
Candidate from one of the leading
coal producing coantles, Mcdowell,
Mercer or Mlngo wishes to be sue
cessinl, he must have the solid back.
ing OF the three counties which now
present the names Of three candidates
and some Of the wise ones OF the old
Fifth say that when the time Is ripe
there Will be several Withdrawals
from the race and the coal counties
Will center on their candidate.
Despite the announcements Hughes
has loyal friends in each Of the COIN.
Ties who will fight for him TO the last
ditch, and 1t will be their work to at-
tempt TO hold up any organization
against Hughes In the formative
period and thus prevent any serious
opposition when the time for the con.
rention rolls around. IS
