Sticks Up For Cannon.

Poor Uncle Joe Cannon of Illinois
is catching it on all sides from lot
of people who are incapable of sober,
second thought. Mr.. Cannon has for
a long time been sort of safety valve
to the house, and in that capacity
has prevented the escape of much
frenzied legislation that would have
been inimical to the best interests of
the country. MIR. Cannon's work and
worth will be appreciated in years to
come, when the people have had time
to study and better understand the
strenuous conditions of late years.

Not One Reason
In word, Gov. Johnson's address,
in spite of it's plausibiilty, lacked SUBJ
stance and lacked the flavor of sim
certify so manifest in Mr.. Jacobson's
opening speech. He offered not one
reason, sound enough to bear analy-
sis, why any republican or any inde-
pendent who desires a forceful and
intelligent administration of the state
should vote for him in preference to
Jacobson.-Pioneer Press.

IOWA CONCERN CUTS STOCK.
Standard Oil Company Reduces
From $1,000, 900 to $1,000.

Des Moines, May Ism. Storer OF
Des NIoines, manager Of the Standard
Oil company, went to Council Bluffs
Saturday, where, at meeting OF the
Standard OIL company Of Iowa, the
capital stock was cut down from ST.
O00, 900 to $1,000. Mr.. Storer could not
be reached at his residence yesterday,
when an effort was made to ascertain
the cause of this change.
The Standard Oil company of Iowa
was organized in 1885 with capital
stock Of 100000. In May, 1895, the ar
ttcles of incorporation were amended,
increasing the capital stock to $1,000
600. At the meeting Saturday it was
decided to further amend the articles,
decreasing the capital stock to $1,000.
Speculation Is rife as to the cause OF
this change, but no authoritative infor-
nation could be obtained Sunday. One
explanation advanced is that the
Standard Oil company is planning to
sell to the California company. An
other is that the company fears an eff
fort will be made to tax it upon its
stock Chas. T. White Of the New
York office, was also present at the
meeting.

Dumort, May 1S.-At meeting OF
the citizens of the town, held In the

club was organized. with the follow
ing officers: DR.. II. E. Day, presi-
dent: f. p. Finn, vice president: c. r.

tee was appointed to solicit member
ship among the business men and cit

time the club had a membership OF
over sixty on the list, who subscribed
to membership with fee OF 81 each.
The object OF the organization pri-
marily Is to promote the general In
terests Of the place.
It has been again and again assert
ed, that the soil Of the surrounding
country is well adapted to the manu-
featuring Of brick and tile, and we are
anxious that some one will come IN
here and establish such factory. Not
only does the town wish to have
brick and tile factory alone, but the
railway facilities of the place are ex-
cellent having the Chicago Great
western and the Chicago & North
western, and 1t Is we'll adapted to the
interests of any factory. Another
meeting will be held Monday night, to
further the work of the organization.
The interest that has been manifested
by the citizens goes to show that they
all intend to pull together and assist
in building up the place from town
of 600 to greater proportions.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, May 1S.-There Is
much doing In congressional politics
in the big Tenth district. Opposition
to Congressman Conner is growing
every day. Hamilton county has al
ways been considered Conner strong
hold, but of late big Woods wave has
been going over 1t. The Freeman
Tribune of this city. which early In
the campaign was friendly to Conner,
Is now assisting In creating sentiment
favorable to Woods. A large double
column cut of State Pharmacy Com
missioner Keltz. in It's columns the
other day, carried the information
that Mr. Keltz is managing the Woods
campaign in Hamilton county. While
Mr.. Keltz is supporting Woods, he de-
nies having assumed the local man
agerent. However, the attitude of the
Freeman Tribune and a number OF
other prominent former Conner sup
porters, who are now boosting Woods,
will probably ALLEVIATE Hamilton coun-
ty from Conner.
While Keftz is not managing, Mr..

nevertheless his attitude indicates the
probable position of Governor Cum
minis in the matter, and that 1t is
which has probably decided the Free
