State Candidates.

Des Moines Capital: The following
Republican office-holders in Iowa will
be candidates for denomination at the
statewide primary next June:
B. F. Carroll, governor.
George w. Clark, lieutenant gov
ernor
w C. Hayward, secretary of state.
John L. Bleakly, auditor of state.
w w Morrow, treasurer of state
H. w. Byers, attorney general.
Governor Carroll and Lieutenant
Governor Clark are candidates for sec.
ond terms The others are candidates
for third terms In this state it has
been customary to give all the officers
except governor and lieutenant gov
ernor three terms; therefore, it can
be conceded that the above named
officials are entitled to denomination
without opposition.
The following supreme judges will
be candidates for denomination:
Horace E. Deemer.
w D. Evans.
Judge Deemer has been on the
bench great many years. Judge
Evans was chosen to fill vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Bishop.
There is no opposition to either
Deemer or Evans. The Office of state
superintendent of public instruction Is
to be filed. The present encumbent
is John F. Riggs, who is filling his
third term There are several other
candidates. Mr. Riggs has not made
his purposes known.
Colonel Palmer's term on the rail
road commission will expire, and his
place is to be filed. He has held the
office ten years or more. He has not
announced his purpose in the matter,
nor has any other candidate been an
nounced.
1t can be seen by this showing that,
as regards state affairs, the campaign
next spring for nominations may not
be strenuous. The supreme judges
will be nominated by a convention
which the primary law provides for.
| All the other nominees must be made
at the general primarv.
Unless there shall be struggle for
or against endorsing the insurgent
members of the congressional dele
/ cation, there would not seem to be
any bloody battles ahead for Iowa Re
publicanism.

CHURCH NOT AN URN.

Some sentiments uttered by Rev.
e. c. Wolcott. pastor of Mayf1ower
Congregational church in Des Moines,
in his sermon last Sunday are de-
serving of wide publicity He de-
clared that the Christian church has
been organized for great and eternal
purpose and it's task has by no means
been completed. In defining what it.
is not he said:
ct is not a decorated urn holding
traditions and heirlooms 1t is not
containing members of long faced
| humanity 1t is by no means an or
| ganization of goody-goodies, where a
| select few gather to wait in choice
| company the eternal summons. 1t is
not place where transportation is
issued to heaven. The church is more
than simply a place to go when you
want to look pious and give portion
of some ill-gotten gains to charity to
ease a guilty conscience
On the contrary the church, is
great institution, organized for a
master purpose:
ut is a great throbbing, life giving or
| ganization which our civilization could
not do without. and doing work no
other organization can do. It's charter
and commission demand that it shall
proclaim the gospel This is it's pri-
mary and fundamental purpose, and
that gospel is more than our little
selfish schemes of theology. 1t is a
gospel of fatherhood, of brotherhood.
of forgiveness, of new purposes and OF
power"
The speaker declared that Jesus
Christ gave the church it's charter and
that charter has never been repealed
or replaced. The gospel of the church,
it was further affirmed, is one of char.
ity, of kind words, of sympathetlc
comradeship with the less fortunate
than ourselves, of healing the broken
hearted, of which there are multi
tudes. 1t is also a gospel of vision,
the opening of the eyes of the blind.

ANNUAL CITY REPORT.

The attention of the mayor and the
city council of Keokuk is called to the
following provision of the code of
Iowa applicable to special charter
cities:
Sec. 741-Each municipality shall
make an annual public report, which
shall contain an accurate statement,
in summarized form, of all collections
made or receipts o. such municipality
from all sources, all accounts due the
public, but not collected, and ali ex-
penditures for every purpose, and a
statement in detail of the cost and
operation and all income OF each pub
lie utility operated or owned by the
municipality. Said report shall further
show in detail the entire public debt
of such municipality, and the amount
of debt which the municipality may
under the law contract for the year
for which the report is made. Said
report shall be published annually at
the close of the fiscal year in at least
two newspapers of general circulation
in said city or town as the case may
be- but If only one paper is publish
ed, then in one, and if none be publish
ed then by posting copy in three
public places in said city or town"
1t has not been the custom in this
city to make as full and complete re-
port as the foregoing section contem-
plates, but it will be noted that the
statute is mandatory and the mayor
and city council have no attentive but
to obey. AS this is Keokuk's last year
under the present aldermanic system
such report is especially desirable
as affording data for comparison with
future years.

situation in nutshell when it says
1T is just demand, but not

outvoted the city members 1t will
fail in the next general assembly for
the same reason. The farmers are

unfair"

LOS ANGELES SPORTS
 ENJOY HOT WEATHER
ARE HAVING A GAY TIME SOUTH
 OF TOWN.
The Time Divided in Shooting White Wings and Refreshing the Inner Man.

It speaks rather well for the sum mer climte and the attractions of Ari- zona that a party of Los Angeles men. some of whom it is rumored are worth upwards in the millions, should see fit to spend a week here at the season of the year that is reputed to be the hot test. It is a fact though that such is the case for just such a party of men is now camped seven miles south of town engaged in shooting white wings and enjoying life as only real sports can.
 Lew w. Collins. former resident of Phoenix and well known here, is the leading spirit in the movement and piloted the party to the shooting grounds He was here last year at the same place and a number of this year s party also stopped at the same grounds for a weeks shooting last season. A prominent member of the party is Gail B. Johnson, president of a life insur- ance company and said to be worth not less than ten millions. In the par ty all told there are fifteen, including a cook and couple of helpers While moi shooting the members of the party are engaged in refreshing the Inner man and nothing that the country af- lords is too good for the table.
 Each day a team is sent to town and returns loaded with supplies. The original wagon load that was sent out to the camp included among other things five kegs of Budweiser The supply has evidently been exhausted for yesterdays load carried with it another keg. In addition to this kind of refreshment. each days consign- ment from town consists of from two to five gallons of ice cream, mineral waters of all kind and 500 pounds of ice The members of the party are having the times of their lives and are loath to break camp Shooting is good and the near distance to town. makes it possible for the hunters to avail themselves of everything that the heart can desire.

FINE BEET CROPS
 WITHOUT IRRIGATION
Grown on the Rich Ranch on Section Fourteen.

The best crop of beets so far re- ported in the Tempe district has been harvested by Will Pemberton on the Leslie Rinch ranch on section IA. MT Pemberton had in an even five acres and from this land harvested hum dred and eight and a half tons of beets At the factory price of S4.75 per ton. it is easily to be figured that this is paying a good profit per acre.
 The unusual feature of this good crop however, lies in the fact that the beets were grown to maturity without a single irrigation. The crop was giv- en plenty of cultivation but no water There is a good indication that MT. Pemberton may land the prize offered by the sugar company.
