Des Moines, Sept. pa. L. Hemin
ger, of Van Buren, county, is the first
TO begin an active canvass for NOM
nation as state superintendent. Hem
niger has been in Des Moines for the
past two days and has called upon all
the people in the state house. He be-
heves there will be not more than four
or five candidates for the nomination
When the close comes and believes that
the man who gets the nomination for
this office this year will be the man
who makes the best canvass and gels
himself the best and most favorably
known. That is to say there will not
be the conflicting candidates. there are
in campaigns as usual rule.
1t is believed now that Heminger
Lark, Brainard and Pickett are The
only candidates sure 10 be in the race,
tho Heminger and Pickett are the only
ones who have made a formal an
nouncement. There is no certainty yet
that Riggs will not be in the race when
the time comes. He has never said
he would not and there are many who
would like to see him continue.
II Governor Carroll makes the man
agernent of the state institutions by
the board of control the issue in the
next campaign it is believed that John
Cownie will be almost sure 10 be
brought into the race as a candidate
for governor. II is not believed here,
however. that Governor Carroll enter
tains any notion of making the board
the issue. II is known that he believes
he handled the Cownie matter in fine
shape and came off with flying colors.
The governor is considering some
possible suggestions TO the next leg
islature as 10 the board Of control On
his tour of visits within the last week
or two il has occurred TO him tho
there should be come closer supervision
OF the care of the inmates than che
members of the board find time to give
and while he has not decided 10 do SO
! he is considering making a suggestion
70 the legislature that it provide for
the appointment of one man and one
woman by the governor to visit the
Institutions regularly and look afte-
that particular line of work This may
/ have given rise 10 the report that he
would make the board ths issue in the
next campaign
/ Mack j. Groves. Of Baskerville, 1;lt
4 democratic nominee for railroad com.
missioner is the latest suggestion fol
t.-J,
I control. Groves is young man, {
lawyer, a farmer and q capable man.
Joe Wall, county accounts clerk in
the state auditors office is back from
a trip 10 Texas. Texas is grea,
state says Mr.. Wall Il don't refer
entirely to the acreage question eth
er In some of those towns down there
they have signs nailed up on buildings
and trees and about town generally
reading. sNiggers,-Don't let the Sur
Go Down on Your Heads and 1 wan
10 tell You no Niger ever does. Mex
lea ms do all the work down there. Al
/, Velasco, where many Iowa people have
land, they are dyking and draining tbs
country The county is doing the worl
with Mexicans. They are paid so cent:
q day because if they pay them an,
more the Mexican will be able TO say,
money and as soon as he saves 1T.
tie money he won't work any more I'll
his money is spent again. Sixty cent!
a day about supports a Mexican and
keeps him working every day.
Everybody is northerner down
there who is doing anything. Tha
country will never amount to tinker
cuss word unless the northern peopl,
do IT, The southerners don't amour
10 anything. You meet more northern
people down there now in the new sec
tons than you do southerners. The
only objection I have TO the countr,
now is the great stretches where yot
don't meet anybody.
Galveston never ought to be allowed
to exist. 1t is built out there on sand
bar in the gulf and only two feet abov,
high tide. That sea wall is seventee,
feet high with dirt thrown in back o
it wide enough 10 make a street Righ
back of that il drops off into the towl
fifteen feet lower. They will have +
complete the sea wall on all sides 0
the town and then the town will b
setting in basin fifteen feet deep
There is only one bridge three mile
long from the sandbar to the main
land. They are now building another
