IIElIr GOV. CLARK.

The many friends of Lieutenant
Governor G. w. Clarke, of Abel, are
resenting in determined way the
unwarranted candidacy of Warren
Garst against Governor B. F. Carroll,
who is asking for the customary sec
ond term They view the Garst candi-
dacy as a heligerant move against
i Mr. Clarke, who has been frequently
mentioned as the logical successor to
Governor Carroll, two years from now.
MIR. Clarke is -favorably known all
over Iowa and has a state wide &C
quaintance.
1t will be remembered that Lieut..
Gov Clarke, of Dallas county, was
sidetracked two years ago for Mr..
lGarst, and then put in second place
on the progressive ticket without his
consent and against his expressed
wishes. 1t was done in an attempt
/ to save Garst and strengthen the
ticket. 1t cannot be denied that at
that time. and at the present time.
Mr.. Clarke is the ablest and strongest
man with the republicans of Iowa that
Is allied with the progressive faction.
Garst's defeat and Clarke's remark
able majority is conclusive proof Of
this statement.
That this is an established fact
caused hundreds of letters to be
written to Mr.. Clarke, begging and
demanding that he be a candidate
against Governor Carroll for second
term, and to all these he made prac-
tically the same answer and in effect
that answer was refusal with the
statement that by all precedents Mr..
Carroll was entitled to a second term
without opposition that he was max
ing a splendid official and that the
man who made the race would do so
without an issue, and he could go be
fore the voters with no other reason
than he wanted the office.
Mr. Clarke absolutely refused to
go before the republican voters with
no other reason than he wanted the
Office. He was even threatened with
Garst's candidacy in order to compli-
cate matters, should he be candidate
after Mr.. CAROLS second term, and
IT cannot now be denied that he has
ambitions to run at that time.
Lieut.. Gov. Clarke's strength does
not all come from the fact that he is
a progressive, but because he is a.
man of principle with brains, integri-
ty and sense of fairness that has
brought to him the confidence of vot-
ers Of every party faction. He is not
an Office seeker and he does not take
or aspire to Office for power or re
venge. and so far in the spirit of fair,
ness and right he has refused to be /
used for his running qualities simply |
for the sake of the Office The whip
is being applied TO him numerically
by men Of his faction. who are not
his equals in anything where brains,
honor or honesty are required
The statement from the strongest
and fairest man in the progressive
wing that Governor Carroll Is making /
a splendid governor, that he is en-
titled to a second term: that the man
who opposes him is without an Is
sue, 1t is quite conclusive that re
venge and love Of Office alone are the
motive forces in the campaign berry!

Review of the Past Week by Direct

For week ending May %.

. ~. 10 TOT Week 6HuIlB MAY ~.
Des Moines, Iowa: Continued cool
weather has prevailed during the last
seven DAYS, but the rainfall. for the
state as a whole, has been much
heavier than during any previous
week of the season. The tempera.
ture was from one to five degrees be-
low the normal and light frost was
reported from several localities on
the 18th. Copious rains fell in the
central and northeastern districts
where amounts from one to over three
inches were reported. The rain has
been yer beneficial to grass. small
grain, potatoes and garden truck and
with warm weather would hasten the
termination of corn. Practically all
the corn acreage has been planted.
but owing to poor seed corn and cold
weather there will be much more re-
planting done than usual The rains
have also been beneficial to the berry
crops and the indications are now
favorable for one.fourth to one-half
crop of Strawberries. Many apple.
cherry. plum threes and grape vines
are again putting forth new blossoms.

rHE RousTABouT.

The Roustabout took some of his
own medicine the other day and read
carefully every advertisement in the
Herald. He was actually surprised
at the information he secured and
wondered why more people do not
get the habit. But to the business at
hand. The Roustabout noticed among
the other advertisements a little call
from the Davis Manufacturing com
psny Of Milwaukee for ten apprentice
boys The thought struck him in a
heap that r. NJ Davis, the president
and bead Of the institution, was a
former 0skaloosa boy, and memory's
pendulum swung back at least thirty
years 10 the time Mr. Davis and the
Roustabout as barefoot kids belonged

Franks father was in charge OF the
looms in an old wooden mill operated
by Seibel & Esgen on the site of the

gave him a pass into the mill and
enabled him to get right UP close 10
the man who knew all about the
wonderful machinery. The elder Mr..
Davis encouraged his boys tagte for
mechanics, but like most fathers he
did not want his boy to learn the
same business that he had mastered.
He thought he would like TO have his
boy be an architect and builder. aud
accordingly bought q set Of drafts

much about angles and squares and
circles that the Ronstabout thought
he surely haa gbnediHgy. Then when
the gigsaw and the turning lathe were
introduced into the Davis home. the
Roustabout himself so far lost his
