Des Moines, June 25.--Before the
campaign for the election of governor
this year has fairly begun candidates
on the republican ticket in the pri-
mary campaign of 1910 begin to ap-
pear Prohibitionists are surprised
that John j. Hamilton should get so
many votes. His vote of 26,339 with
the returns from Polk and Dallas
counties not included is so much larg-
er than anyone had suspected that
the temperance element is demanding
that he be candidate again two years
from now Major Rathbun of Marion,
has already announced that he will
be a candidate in 1910. He was a
candidate in 1906 and announced him.
self as candidate in 1908, but later
withdrew announcing that he would be
a candidate in 1910. This announce
were held this year. II Auditor Car
roll is elected governor this year for a
'two-year term as it is expected he
will be, the customs of the past would
entitle him to second term and he
will undoubtedly be a candidate.
There are then three candidates for
the republican nomination of governor
now fairly certain: B. F. Carroll, Ma
jor S. III. Rathbun and John j. Hamil
ton.
Friends Of Mr.. Hamilton are very
insistent that he is not out of the
race for good. His platform of tenn
perance and other radical reforms were
endorsed by the prohibitionists at their
state convention here yesterday. The
prohibition wave is sweeping over the
country from one end to. the other and
ficiently strong in Iowa two or four
years from now with the agitation
that is now going on. to nominate
Hamilton. It will be remembered that
prohibition constitutional convention
was held in this city some months
ago at which complete organization
was formed with the intention and
determination Of keeping the fires
alive and of getting a resolution for
an amendment thru the next legislature
If possible. These men are not idle,
tho little has been heard from them
lately and they will use their influence.
Mr.. Hamilton has not disclosed his
Intentions thus far but many politi-
clans say that the fact that he polled
nearly 10000 votes out of 100000 cast
that the prohibitionists polled but
about 1000 votes for that office is
enough to warrant the prediction that
he will be heard from in future cam
paigns.
The condition of fruit on the whole
is per cent above what it was at the
close of June, 1907, according to bull
letin put out by State Horticulturist
Wesley Greene. The estimated aver
age of fruit on the whole is As per cent.
At the close of June 1901, it was 35
per cent above what it is now.
Mr.. Greene's report shows that
there is considerable fruit in the state
in spite of the worst fears of the peo-
pie. His estimates are based on re-
ports received from over the state from
correspondents in each county, and are
as follows Apples, IS per cent;
pears, 10; American plums, "a; Euro
pean plums, 35; Japanese plums, 20;
cherries, 36; peaches, 3s; grapes, SO;
red raspberries, A; blackberrtes, 81;
red raspberries, "A; black raspberries,
"a; blackberries Is; currants, So;
gooseberries, SIS; strawberries, So.
Mr. Greene reports that west Of the
Des Moines river the apples range
from 10 to so per cent, and east of the
Des Moines river they range from 10
to IS per cent.
The question of who will be the
next adjutant general of the Iowa Ma
tional Guard is already bothering the
politicians of the guard. 1t is practi-
cally conceded that it must go to an
old soldier There is now much work
about the adjutant's office, and 1t takes
man of more vigorous strength than
in former years, for the reason that the
guard is now a part of the regular
army, and must be kept up to the reg
ular army standard. There are only
three men conspicuously before the

ments. These are Adjutant General
w. H. Thrift, the present incumbent;
General H. NJ. Byers, who preceded
him, and General John R. Prime, who
preceded them both. 1t seems likely
that one of these will be selected.
