FORMER CANDIDATES.
PITIABLE PLIGHT
Hiram Wheeler From Iowa Guberna-
toriaI Candidate, Once Wealthy,
is Now dependent.

FORT DODGE, Jan. 15-Judge w.
S. Kenyon, attorney general for the
Illinois Central, has discovered in
Chicago Hiram Wheeler former re-
publican candidate for governor of
Iowa, man broken in spirit and de-
pendent upon the scanty bounty of his
daughter. Once he owned about g.
600 acres of Iowa farming land and
was a prosperous and well liked man,
popular enough to receive very hearty
support for the candidacy of Iowa's
greatest office. Now he is unkempt,
ragged, pathetic figure who exists
and is swallowed up in the great tide
of humanity that calls Chicago home.
Hiram Wheeler converted his farms
into money many years ago and went
southwest where he lost everything
Since then he has drifted back to his
daughter, and his discovery by Ken
yon was occasioned by his appearance
in a big legal case of the Illinois Cen
trail recently in regard to lake front
land Wheeler claimed to have title
to it, but it was found that he must
have been years old when he bought
| it if his assertions were true, and the
claim was SO tangled and uncertain
that nothing came o. it.

Theme Of VIC. Brown at . Banquet
in Davenport, Iowa Last
Night

DAVENPORT, Iowa, Jan. IL
Speaking at the annual banquet of the
Davenport Commercial Club to $50
business men of eastern Iowa and
western Illinois, w. c. Brown, presi-
dent of the New York Central lines last
night lauded the pioneer railroad build
ers of the west. He said the obstacles
in the way of building the Rock Island,
Burlington and Northwestern roads
across Iowa would nave daunted men
of less perseverance or less courage. He
declared the government should put
millions into experimental farms, in
stead of battleships, and that the faith
full following up of such plan of ed
ucation of the nations farmers for ten
years would add to the value of each
years crops enough to pay for every
battleship in the most powerful navy
in the world
His argument that freight rates are
not high enough was responded to by
]. c. Lincoln, of the st. Louis National
Industrial Traffic league. Lincoln
said more cooperation and being hon
est with each other were cardinal
points to be maintained between ship
pers and the railroads.

Investigation at TT. Madison.

There are beginning to be circulated
reports regarding the possibility of the
demand for Investigating committee
to hear all ged charges in regard to
the management of the penitentiary ~
Fl. Madison. Thus far however. the
charges are exceedingly vague and Il
is possible that no legislative action
may follow. The publication in the
newspapers Of criticisms in regard 20
the discipline at the institution has At
tracted some attention and created
some talk, but whether anything viii
come of it or not remains to be seen.
A prominent member Of the senate
from the first district in discussing the
matter said, 81 was erhaps prejudiced
against the rev warden because OF my
friendlinegs for Warden Jones and my
belief In his ability and his manage
ment of the institution. l know there
are complaints MADE that the new
warden ig too lenient with the con-
yicts. know he has theory that no
one is all bad, but that In every Ian
there is a spark of Foodness left
which may possibly be awakened. OF
course II sympathy and kindness ~
the fallen vii asst in putting them
on their feet again, no one should
criticize the head of an institution
like that for trying to do what he could
along those lines. However, of course
| 1eniency should not be led to the
extent that it affects discipline Or
gives the convict an opportunity TO
endanger others or to escape from
custody themselves"

long regarded the Record Herald as
the best paper for their own reading

lGdle City special SERVICE
DES MONIES, Jan. 15.-Opposition
is growing among the members to the
custom which has been followed hith-
erto by number in both houses of
families to clerkships and other posi-
tons in the legislature. In some in
stances hitherto a senator or mem
Der has named his wife or his daugh-
ter as his clerk and she has held down
the position to the extent of drawing
the salary attached thereto, while in
fact she has been more successful in
representing the leg slative head OF the
family at social functions than doing
the dutics usually prescribed for the
clerk to member.
This sort of thing was carried TO
such an extent that in the last house
a resolution was adopted providing
that all committee clerks should be
expert stenographers. The same sort
of resolution has at this time been
adopted in both houses. If it should
happen, however. that the members Of
either body are each given personal
clerks in case of failing to be appoint
ed chairman of committees. it is prob
able that this solution will be con-
sidered as effective only with respect
tc committee clerks. However, the
newspapers have taken the matter ~
ard pub opinion seems disposed to
criticize any renber who by reason
of securing a clerkship for his wife or
daughter is thus enabled in reality to
draw two salaries. 1t il probable
there will be less of this loyalty 70
ia ily'' in this than in some prior
sessions.

Minority cIerkships.

In the senate of the last general as
sembly each senator was allowed a
clerk whether he rYas chairman of the
committee or not. I this session,
however, there seems to be senti-
ment favoring r,ore economy in the
matter of clerkship and it is probable
that with five clerkships going to the
minority as committee clerks, not
more than three or four extra clerks

each of these clerks experienced stem

say that NOR are absolutely nee

The democrats on the other hand,
claim that they are entitled to clerk
apiece. They raise the point that all
the more populous districts with very
few exceptions are represented by
democrats and that in order to give
proper attention TO the needs of their
constituents thev should each be given
a clerk. They say that their constitu-
ents pay taxes az we'll as the constitu'
