Des Moines, April 19.-The signi-
fcance of the local movement here 10
have Charles o. Holly become a can
didate for governor on the democratic
ticket is that the democrats are not
unit on the program which has been
laid out. Some of them believe that
victory is not worth while for them if
st must be obtained at what they re-
gard as a sacrifice of principle.
What do you mean by urging Holly
TO get into the. raee?" was asked of one
of the men back of the movement.
Well" ne said, there are three
standpat democrats in the race, and
we would like a chance to vote for one
who would not consent to couple up
with the corporations for the sake OF
office. These people who are managing
things made one attempt to make Iowa
democratic and were backed by $780,
900 Of corporation money We don't
want any more of that kind of work"
The same democrat pointed out that
the lineup is SO plain that anyone
ought 70 see it-a working understand
ing between corporation democrats and
standpat republicans.
Mr.. Holly probably will not run. IF
/ could afford it," he said. Il would
be glad to make the race, but I can not
afford it. Evidently there are a good
many who would like TO have me in
the race. l believe that our party
should stand for something and all our
effort should be directed toward doing
good for the people. l have no patience
with those who seek office merely for
the sake Of office. There are too many
such in both parties
That the democrats who are nlanag-
ing things are very confident that the
same republicans will vote the demo-
cratic ticket that voted that way once
before is becoming palmer every day.
They are getting much consolation out
of what appears in the republican pa
pers which are supporting Carroll.
They believe that if it Is not demon
strated that Carroll has larger mum
Der of friends than has his opponent
then the democrats are sure winners
this time, hence their plans all look TO
making the fight against Garst rather
than against Carroll
1t seems probable that there is some
exaggerarion in regard TO the value of
the crops which have been killed by
the freeze of the past week. The esti-
mate of s10,000,000 loss on fruit is at
least large According 10 the reports
OF the departm emf of agriculture the
estimate on the value of the Iowa
fruit crop in 1908 was s2.5OO.000, and
last year perhaps double this sum. The
value of garden and small fruit crops
ds about s6o00o00 a year While at
present il would seem that all fruit is
gone yet some of the fruit men say
that II always turns out that the earli-
est reports are the worst
It is probable that the board Of con-
troll will make stigation into the
origin of the story about a riot al
the Fort Madison prison, as the board
will be there next Monday. There IS
suspicion here that the riot, so-called,
has its origin outside the prison walls
and that it failed to come off according
to schedule, much to the disappoint-
rnent of those who had expected to
profit by the demonstration that the
old methods of the board are not good
There IS some mystery as to where the
story came from here. It did not come
direct from Fort Madison, but is said
10 have been secured at the state
house. II is recalled that Warden
Sanders was attacked during the leg
tslarure and as a part Of the general
attack upon Mr.. CowIie, but his de-
tractors failed to get his scalp
Investigation of the alleged violation
of the Iowa pass laws in certain parts
of the state by the distribution of free
railroad passes to prominent persons
ostensibly by having these persons
temporarily employed ON the railroad
is likely at an early date. It is said
that grand juries in some of the ceun-
ties are preparing to act. Very many
free passes have been issued TO Iowa
politicians the past year by some of
the railroads, generally a trip ticket
only and usually they are listed as Of
interstate character tho of course
that cuts no figure in the matter.
