Des Moines, Nov. 5.-The impression
and rumor that Congressman ]. A 7.
Hull will run for governor two years
from now is so strong that there is
talk of a standpat candidate for con-
swess against him now-just for the
purpose of getting someone in the lime
light OF publicity so as to be ready to
inherit Hulls shoes two years from
now.
Such move is Of course not being
fathered by Hull himself No doubt If
II begins to assume important proper
tons Hull and his friends will endeavor
TO shut it off. There are many am
bilious standpatters in the Seventh
district. Some of them have long want
ed 10 represent the Seventh district in
congress and only the party lash and
the feeling that Hull would get it any
way has kept them in line for him.
Now comes the report that Hull will
run for governor on a standpat ticket
Two years from now. This has caused
these standpat aspirants to prick UP
their ears. Some of them think they
can further their own chances in nc
better way than to get into the game
this year as candidates They feel that
with Dowel and Prouty both in the
race against Hull there is no chance OF
Hull being defeated even if they come
out as candidates too.
Then there are others of the stand
patters who have the idea that with
the field cut up and three candidate:
in the race who reside in Polk county
an outside man would really stand a
chance this year, and there is some
canvassing of the field just now to as
certain just what the chances are fol-
an outside man. Judge Henderson, OF
lndianola, IS one of those most fire.
quently mentioned in this connection
He would not be averse TO going &c
congress and would not be averse tc
seeing Hull defeated. even if he wa:
sure he would himself be elected, an6
would be perfectly willing to run ever
if Hull We're sure to be elected if he
thought by so doing he would get into
a position to be the candidate two
years from now.
w. o. Payne. of Nevada, is being
mentioned in the same connection. Il
is NOT known what his own ideas of tins
matter are tho it is not believed he
would be averse to going TO congress
and would acquit himself with honor
/ if he got there.
1t is not believed now that Hon. Johr
Cownie. of the state board Of control
will be a candidate for the republican
nomination for governor Of Iowa. There
was a time earlier in the year wher
many urged Mr.. Cownie to get into tbs
race that ii looked as tho he were likely
10 be a candidate. Mr.. Cownie, him
/ self, however. has not been very fav-
orable from the first and the prospect:
are that he may not be candidate thu
many are still urging him to enter tn,
race.
IN 1873 when first located in north
vest Iowa, land could be had for S. al
acre. Now many farms are being solo
IN that section for 1925 an acre wher
