STATE COLLEGE PRESIDENCY
Three -Cornered Fight is Developing
Among Friends Of School.
CURT1ss PROBABLY IN LEAF
short Course and College Extension
Interests Are Making Active
Campaign for Professor
Holden.
(From a staff Correspondent }

DIES MONIES, Feb. 13.-(Special 1.-THE
contest for president of the State college
at Ames is already on in earnest There
is no question in the minds of anyone that
the educational board plans a change
there and already the campaign for sue
cession has commenced. 1t looks, at the
outset as If the old fight in the faculty
would break out, and instead of being a
contest between two it will be triangular.
The lineup is as follows:
Prof. c. f. Curtiss, backed by the live
stock interests the state fair people and
the younger men of the college.
Prof. 3. w stanton, backed by the
alumni of the college and its older friends
and especially by departments other than
Prof. p q. Holden. backed by the short
course and college extension interests, the
grain growers and others.
1t is not certain that Prof Stanton will
be considered or that he would desire the
place. 1t is understood on the side that
the board has already practically decided
In favor of Curtiss. Saturday the Asso-
ciatlon of Corn Growers started out to
boost for Holden At a meeting of the
executive committee here, while the COM
mittee as such, took no action, the MEM
bers as individuals set out to make a
fight for Holden.
Grant Chapman Of Bagley president Of
the association, said:
| 1T is with regret that 1 read in the
papers today that President Storms has
rendered his resignation. II his resigna-
tion has been received. the thing that
the people OF Iowa want to concern them
selves about is the choosing of the new
president. l do not think there is any
question as to who would be selected IL
the matter was left to a popular vote of
the farm interests OF the state, for which
the work Of the institution stands. which
also necessarily embraces the mechanical
and engineering department. 1t is my
judgment that Prof. p. G. Holden would
be the choice of the Iowa people. Prof.
Holden has probably come closer In touch
with the people OF Iowa and knows more
OF their wants and needs than any other
living man in the state and this should
qualify him. He has rare executive ability
and is leader among young men and
women. This has been thoroughly dem
onstrated in his educational work before
short courses in the state, in the seed
corn specials and In his addresses before
educational institutions. / sincerely trust
that the educational board in their de-
liberations as TO successor to Dr. Storms
