Yesterday afternoon Senator'S f. l.
Maytag. ]. H. Allen and Robert Hunter
met in the Slavery lobby just by acct
dent and for few minutes discussed
the situation. They all agreed that the
only thing for all republicans to do al
this time Is TO unite in making sure
that republicans are elected to the leg
islature then TO permit the legislature
TO handle the senatorship in a manner
that Will do the state the most good
They agreed that there are many good
men in whom the people would have
COINCIDENCE and that the choice % the
legislature could hardly be other than
good one.
The state committee announces thai
w S. Kenyon. assistant attorney gem
eral. has been secured for a few
speeches IN the campaign. In a sense
he would come to speak for the ma
tional administration, as viii James
Wilson secretary Of agriculture. Judge
Kenyon has not before done any cam
paign work in Iowa and # he speaks
his addresses will be followed with
deep interest The first suggestion o.
his name for the senatorship came
from very prominent railroad man
who limited that possibly the national
administration would get back of Judge
Kenyon with a view to harmonizing ev-
erything in Iowa 1t is not believed,
however, the national adm inis tratior
would openly take any hand in Iowa
affairs.
How can an Iowa man get back
home after becoming a Canadian and
taxing III? That was the problem put
up to Secretary Sumner. of the board
OF hea!tn. The problem was passed up
TO Surgeon General Wy-man, of the ma.
rine hospital service at Washington.
Mr. Sumner received a pathetic let
ter from a man who formerly lived in
Iowa but who had gone to Saskatche-
wan and in order to secure land had
become subject of the king, but he
has beer stricken with infantile paraly-
sis from which he has partially recoy.
cred. and he now wants TO get back 10
Iowa. He wrote for permit to en-
ter the state.
Presumably he will have to subject
himself to the rules OF the emigration
department, and SO the matter was
referred to Washington.
The fact that the Des Moines papers
are urging all voters of the city TO be
sure and register their names on Thurs
day or Friday OF this week, has brought
many inquiries from other parts of the
state as to the status OF registration
The reason the Des Moines voters viii
have to make an entire new registry
this year is because since the last
registra ton the precincts have all
been changed about ard reorga nized.
Otherwise there would only be a cor
rectton of the registration Generally
in the state the complete registration
comes only in presidential years
The Spragueviile train service case
before the state railroad commission is
still causing a great deal Of friction
in the eastern part of the state
Spragueville holds the distinction Of
being the largest railroad town in the
state where the trains never stop. It is
very weary of this distinction and way
long last May put it up to the railroad
commission to gently hint 20 the Mil
waukee railroad that il would be a
good thing to have a train stop at
Spragueville occasionally and pick up
some business. But all the trains go
whizzing by and Spragueville is not on
the railroad map.
The state board OF control has just
placed boiler insurance on steam boil
ers which the state owns for heating
the various institutions. The main
purpose in taking out the insurance is
to secure the inspection. for the surety
companies enter into contract for in
spection of each boiler three times a
year The lives of hundreds Of the
wards OF the state are at the mercy of
these large boilers.
The Legislature will next winter be
asked to make purchase of additional
land for the penitentiary at Fort Mad
ison. The small farm which the state
owns there has proved TO be immense
1y profitable. and without it the state
could hardly have paid all bills for ex-
peflse at the institution. The prison
ers, under Warden Sanders, can be
made use OF to excellent advantage
there.
Des Moines ministers are to preach
on the duty Of voting and will talk
politics from their pulpits next Sunday.
The ministerial association is respon-
sibIe for the movement. They have
been asked especially to urge q vote for
temperance principles. and presumably
many u them will urge that their peo-
Z pie vote for the prohibition candidates
for state Office. The association also
announces that It will print the names
