WILL be FIGHT IN REPUBLICAN,
PARTY FOR SENATOR.
CuMMINs FOR SENATE
Will Contest With Allison for Nosnl-
nation TO ONCE 40 Representative
TO Upper House--state OFFICERS viii
Also 30 Named.

Des Moines, May Tomorrow the
political parties in Iowa will for the
first time nominate their candidates
for the November elections by a state
wide primary. Interest in the result
centers IN the contest among the re-
piiblicans, there being practically no
fight for the different places on the
ticket among the other parties, among
republicans the chief interest lies in
the fight made by Governor A. B..
Cummins against United States Sem
ator William B. Allison for the repub-
lican nomination for the United States
senate.
The fight has been on since the
first Of the year and has renewed the
bitter factional contest Of two years
ago.. Thousands Of speeches have
been made by the army Of speakers
enlisted on each side, Governor Cum
Minis himself making almost q hun
dred. Both sides are confident to-
night Of victory. 88s
Each Claims Majority.
At Senator Allison's Headquarters
in Dubuque the claim is made to at
least 10000 majority while at Cum
Minis headquarters in Des Moines
claim is made to $4,000 majority. Be
sides the senatorial nominations,
nominations will be made for all
state otficers, from governor down.
The primary election will be conduct
ed much as a regular state election
under strict regulation of the law.
The candidates for the republican
nomination for governor are Warren
Carst, B. F. Carroll and John "A. Ham
ilton, the first representing the pro-
gressive wing, the second the stand
patters and the third the prohibition
wing. Fred E. White, twice previous
" a candidate, is the only democratic
aspirant.

TIE BASIN.

Some Of the Montana and Wyoming
newspapers have been doing the Big
Horn Basin country in northern Wyo-
ming an injustice by printing inter
views about how disappointing it has
proved to prospective settlers"
These interviews have carried the
suggestion that the Big Horn Basin
is not such a very good country and
that it has been advertised and boom
ed without having the goods to back
up the claims made for it. People,
who are acquainted with conditions In
the Basin, know such is not the case.
There is not a nor fertile section
in the district tributary to Billings
than the Big Horn Basin. It is not
Only rich in agriculture and livestock.
but is rapidly coming to the front as q
mining region as well. Billings whole
sale merchants consider it one Of the
best territories into which they send
their representatives and Billings
ships thousands Of dollars worth of
merchandise annually into the basin,
towns.
It is too bad that interviews speak
ing disparagingly Of the prospects OF
the basin country should be printed.
The people who gave them out prob
ably never investigated. There is not
a more promising section in Wyoming
than the Big Horn basin.

sELLs-FLoTo SHOW Will BE IN
BILLINGS JUNE Is.
HAVE BIG MENAGERlE
FIFTY Cars Required 70 TRANSPORT
Mammoth Aegregalicr-Fine Thor
oushbred Horses and Ponies-ls
Called "The Circus Beautiful.

Monday, June Is. is circus day at
Billings and MI. Floto wants the peo-
pie and the surrounding country to be
prepared to see one Of the prettiest
and cleanest tented shows that ever
came this way. Many who are unac-
quainted with the sells-Floto show
seem to labor under the impression
that it is a small affair. This is a mis-
take. It Is one Of the large circuses
Of the world and requires a train Of
fifty sixty-foot cars to transport 1t
from town to town. Five years ago it
would require twice this number OF
cars to carry a show Of this size, but
the circus people Of today have the
system of condensing circus parapher-
MALTA down to a fine point, everything
being built to pack closely. and with
out any waste Of space.
The Sells-Floto show comes honest
.ly by It's title "the circus beautiful"
It's fine thoroughbred horses and po-
MES, with their beautiful t%rappings,
and the gold chariots, dens and
tableau cars, the most costly ever
turned out in a circus parade, make
it all that they claimed.
Excellent Menaqerle.
The menagerie is one OF the most
complete and valuable in the world,
the large herd OF well trained ele-
plants alone being valued at $4,000.
The mammoth tents are waterproof,
and by the slight dropping of the side
walls can be made cool and comfort
able on the warmest day. Even the
lemonade stands are n~ickel-plated,
which goes to show how particular
the sells-Floto people are to have
everything harmonic.
The Sells-Floto show carries no
grafters or fakirs. It is the only cir.
Gus that does not carry a privilege"
car, where the canvasmen exchange
their wages for bad booze. The public
is charged a straight price Of admis.
sion. There are nc scalpers on the
ground charging 10 cents extra for
tickets before the ticket wagon opens
up. Further, the ticket wagon opens
Immediately after the parade. which
does away with the usual scramble
for tickets when the doors open.
The gorgeous street parade takes
place at 1890 a. M, rain OF shine,
which will give country people ample
time to reach the city and see It IN
all its glory.

IcR,TIclsiNG THE MINISTRY.

The criticism Of some of our pres
ent day ministers, which was made
by Rev. Billy Sunday in an address
before the Presbyterian ministers of
Pittsburg probably discloses the rea-
son that church is experiencing a
shortage in the number of men will
ing to enter the ministry. So great is
this shortage that 1t alarmed the re-
cent session of the general assembly
of the church, which was held last
week in Kansas City. 1t was found
that while the Presbyterian church
has nearly 100000 members there
were Just III men preparing them
selves for the ministry under the
auspices of that church. One leading
churchman declared that the Presby-
terrain church was getting along with
two-thirds of the number of ministers
needed.
The character Of the men in any
profession is its best advertisement.
If men Of a profession are not what
they ought to be, If they are not indie
pendent, If they are not broad mind
ed and if they are not successful,
there is little to induce others to en-
ter that profession. To a large ex-
tent to this lack of independence, to
this lack Of broad mindedness on the
part of many Of our ministers today
can be traced the a for men.
holding aloof from the ministry. The
public at large will agree with Rev.
Sunday in his declaration that "many
of the ministers of today are fudge
eating molly Goddess and that few
ministers Of today are anything but
stiffs and salary quacks," while 9TH
ers "are controlled by riches and not
by. the bible" while many "are graft
ers pure and simple"
Such criticism coming from a mar
as well qualified to speak as Mr.. Sun
day shows that something is wrong
with many Of our present day minis
tiers. It shows that many of them set
an example to the younger generation
that is not conducive to increasing
the number of ministers. It probably
explains why the Presbyterian church
faces a shortage in its ministerial
supply.
It is the aim Of the average young
man to live an independent life, to be
able to speak his thoughts and live as
he believes right. Evidently Mr.. Sun
day, and certainly many people be-
lieve, that our present day ministers
in the majority of cases are not per
mitted to do SO. II the church is go
ing to secure sufficient ministers,
then it must make them more indie
pendent.
