y
interest in the Carnegie Trust Com
pany of New York amounted to ST.
310,SO0, is the interview given out by
Vice President Dickinson of the COM
pany. In his interview published
January 90 in the Register and Leader
of this city, Mr.. Dickinson says:
There has been no trouble at all
about stock distribution. 1t is true that
l control majority of the stock. Mr..
Shaw's shares of the stock amount to
$1,S1O,S00. Mr.. Shaw bought them at
$3.50 per share, and they will be taken
to $500 per Shore"
In the article about Mr.. Shaw
wealth that was published in these
columns this interview with Mr.. Dick
inson was given prominence and was
featured as the grounds on which the
article was based. Anyone who read
the article could easily see that that
was the grounds for the article. There
has never been any denial of the in
terview published. There was never
any effort on the part of the person
who wrote the article to examine into
the articles of corporation or capitali-
cation of the Carnegie Trust Company.
II the interview was incorrect that
ends it.
The Cedar Rapids Republican, whose
editor has the delicate and gentleman
ly habit of calling everybody a liar
who disagrees with him, or who writes
any unpleasant truth about his faction
in politics, says: THE Des Moines
correspondent which wanted (note the
word whfch') to blacken Shaw took
the shares to be worth $1,000 each
which would make the capital stock of
the concern $15,0OO,OOO.'
There was not a line or word in the
correspondents article to show that he
took the shares OF stock to be worth
$1,000 or $40, but the pet word of the
editor of the Republican should not be
applied to him in this instance. He
probably read the headlines to the
article that Shaw was said to be worth
$1,310,SO0, and without thinking that
that was no discredit to Shaw and
without stopping to read the article to
ascertain the foundation for it, wrote
out his characteristic editorial of de-
NAL headed: Lying About Shaw's
Wealth" OF course the Republican
will apologize to the (which cores
pondent" in its next issue.
AS 'foreeasted in these dispatches
some weeks ago. James Wilson, secre
tary " The department of agriculture
and member of Roosevelt's cabinet, is
being talked of for governor of Iowa.
The idea is being sprung on the public
by the Keokuk Gate City, the Bur-
lington HaWkeye, the Waterloo Report
err and such standpat newspapers. It
was from this same source that his
name was suggested in 1906 as d can
didate against Cummins.
In all these newspapers the use OF
Mr.. Wilson's name is as a harmony
candidate, one that would unite the
warning factions. Without disclosing.
condolences it may be said that there
are more signs of harmony in the re-
publican ranks of Iowa just at this
time than at any other time since Gov
ernor Larrabee opened the fight
against the railroad domination. But
this harmony is not going to come
thru Secretary James Wilson as gov
ernor. Mr.. Wilson will not be can
didate for governor and has not and
it is understood will not give the use
of his name for that office, at least at
this time
The suggestion Of Mr.. Wilson's name
h1rt cto 1y,o II
is not for the purpose of harmony but
for the purpose OF defeating the pro-
gressive forces. The standpatters are
willing to take up a progressive such
as Secretary Wilson, if they can get
his consent, and use him as candi-
date against other progressives in or
der to get q victory that they could
claim.
The real possibility for harmony in
this state at this time is along the line
that the primary law, anti-pass law,
law to prohibit corporations using
money in politics and such measures
being on the statute books the fight Of
the progressives from this time on Is
to guard those laws against repeal or
injurious amendment and to obtain eff
fciency and honesty in public office.
Events are moving in THAT direction at
this time, tho Of course there is the
possibility that nothing will come of it.
To say more would be disclosing con-
fdences. But it can be said that Sec
rotary James Wilson is not to be a
candidate for governor.

sicians have been appointed by the
