Des Moines, April 17.-After induc-
ing Fred E. White to be the party cam
didate for governor. the Democratic
conference late yesterday filled the bal
ance Of the state ticket.
Mr.. White was twice a candidate of
his party for the governorship, being
defeated by Leslie NJ. Shaw. after
wards secretary of the treasury in
President Roosevelt's cabinet. He was
three times the democratic candidate
for congress in his district and was
elected in the landslide of 1890. He is
farmer and his postoffice address,
which was Webster formerly, now is
South English.
In congress Mr.. White made a speech
against high tariff which was more
used in the campaign of 1892, in which
Grover Cleveland was reelected on the
tariff issue, than any other speech, or,
indeed, any other document of a polit-
ical character.
1t is said that it was printed in six
different languages and democrats de-
clare that it was given wider circula-
ton than any other speech that ever
was used in campaign literature.
The conference was called by Chair
man Miller of the state committee To
see that the primary ticket of the DEM
ocrats has no vacancies on it. 1t only
no desire or intention of foreclosing
the field against anyone that may want
to run for any of the places.
Claude r. Porter of Centervfle will
file his papers as the democratic cam
didate for United States senator.
