! of Des Moines. a professor in Highland
Park College, are mentioned as possible
material Mr. Athearn is the only one

There is not one in the list that mas
been mentioned but would be strong
candidate and a competent state SUI
! perintendent They each have Qualifi-
cations peculiarly fitting them for the
position and the state in any event
seems destined to have good official.
With such a large list in the race it
seems at this distance from the pri-
mary as tho no candidat would be
likely to get 35 per cent of the vote in
which event the matter would be thrown
into the state convention for nominal
ton.
Corn Belt Meat Producers Associa-

Of D. \. Porter. of Creston, was in
Des Moines this week and discussed
the political situation in the Eighth
district. He speaks very highly of H.
E. Parslow. of Page county, as a pros
pectiye candidate tor the place. Pars-
low is a lawyer of great deal of abil-
! ty. He is not so we'll known over the
I state but locally he is very highly re-
spected Mr.. Porter said while in Des
. Moines that he would not be surprised
. if nearly every county in the Eighth
district brought out a candidate fol
the nomination.
Among these would be J. B. Harsh
of Union county; a. I. Smith, Of Ring
gold; John Darrah, of Lucas; B. w
Garrett, of Decatur; Judge Towner an6
