Des Moines, Aug. S1.-John j. Ham

the Des Moines Daily News, and last
year one of the candidates for the re-
publican nomination for governor in
Iowa, is arranging to close out his bus
mess interests in Des Moines and will
move 10 the Pacific coast, probably to
Seattle, where he expects to establish
daily newspaper. His sister. Mrs. Ella
Hamilton Durley, is arranging to go
with him and will be interested with
him in the newspaper, Mrs. Durley was
Tor many years one of the editors of
the Daily News and is now editor Of
one OF the publications gotten out by
the Homestead.
Both Mr.. Hamilton and his sister
are graduates Of the state university of
Iowa and both are highly talented.
Soon after the News was started near
" thirty years ago. Mr.. Hamilton be-
came interested in il and he made il
the first one cent daily in the state of
Iowa and il doomed from that time. A
few years ago both he and his sister

4 Friends Of Vice President W. L.
Brown, Of the state board Of agricul-
ture. have started a boom for him for
state treasurer TO succeed State Treas
urer w w Morrow in 1912 MI
Browns home is m Clarion. Iowa. He
mas been a mem Der Of the board OF di-
+ reetors Of the state department of agri-
culture for some years and has taken
d leading part in the mana cement OF
the fair. He IS now a member OF the
executive committee of the board. be-
ing elected vice president when ". w
Morrow. who was president Of the
board, became state treasurer and Mr.
Cameron, Wao was vice president, va:
elected president. Mr.. Brown mas
charge Of the concessions at the state
fair and under his management the
concessions pay the department mort
than double what they did few year;
ago.
II is believed there will be no op
position whatever to the denomination
and reelection of State Treasurer "
w. Morrow next year, and if Their
should be opposition there is no ques
ton but that Mr.. Morrow would b
renominated for the customary thir,
term. as he has made an excellent rep
utation in the office Mr. Brown vii
not be a candidate until 1912 which vii
be at the expiration of Mr.. Morrow
third term.
II is probable that another year tn
directors of the state department 0
agriculture will have two or thre
bands give concerts on the ground
during Sunday of the fair week Fo
some years it has been next to i'm

those who could get in but not half {
those on the grounds could crowd int

This year it was thought with the hi
new amphitheater there would be n
difficulty. The band was placed acros
the race track in front of the amphi
theater but the amphitheater is sue

The decree in the case Of the GUST
of Mayor A. NJ Henderson, of Mareng
for drunkenness is being prepared ar
will be signed and filed by Judge Al
plegate. AS soon as it rs signed ar
filed Mayor Henderson win be out
office and the city council will me

that Mayor Henderson will appeal Il
! case to the supreme court but his al
peal will not have the effect of stayil
the proceedings or restore him to Off
e pending such decision by the supren
court. He will be out Of the office u

verses the case.
