WILSON, CANDIDATE FOR
RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.
OPPOSITION TO WOODS
IN TENTH NOT REALIZED
Editor Mayne Has Made No Move to
Get Into Congressional Raee-otto-
sen, Of Humboldt, Coming Strong
For Rail Board-one Place Where
Palmer VIII Score.
Special to rimes-Republican.

Wilson for railroad commissioner will
gain for him a good many votes. i
am a candidate" he says. 'for the rea-
son that / want the office and believe
that if nominated and elected can be
of service to my state and its people.
1 have no grudge against any railroad
which I desire tho office to help satisfy,
l owe nothing to any railroad corpora
ton and they owe nothing to me, and
if nominated / viii be indebted only
to my fellow citizens" Mr.. Wilson
served in the war in the One Hundred
Twenty Seventh New York volunteers,
enlisting at the age of II, and after
the war he came to -Adair county to re-
side on a farm which is still his home.
Mr. Wilson has an immense number Of
names to his petition.
DR.. Samuel Bailey of Mount Ayr has
his name in the list of aspiring candi-
dates for the legislature. He will seek
the republican nomination in Ringgold
and il would be a good guess that he
will make it easily, for he is one of
the popular men of the southern part
of the state. At the state horticultural
convention last winter. DR.. Bailey read
a notable address on the use of the
apple as an aid in temperance Work,
and this paper created much interest
thruout the country. 1t will not be used
as his platform in the cam paign, now
ever, but the doctor will run on the
square platform that he is in favor Of
giving moral and political support to
the two Iowa senators and decidedly
opposed to a state convention that will
epi1 t1ny
their state Endorsement.
Frank P Woods has filed his nom
ination papers for congress in the
Tenth district. This completes the list
of republican candidates. 1t now seems
probable that the threat of opposition
in the Tenth viii not materialize. 1t
is recalled that one of the first moves
in the factional fight in Iowa was the
declaration on the part of the stand
patters that Mr.. Woods was to be de-
MED a second term without g. hot fac
tional fight This was largely because
he had been named all the Iowa mem
Der of the congressional committee, and
| it was desired to discredit him by the
appearance of a fight at home for re-
| nomination. The Standpatters having
! denied that Woods was not entitled to
/ a second term without a fight, they
brought out Editor Mayne of Palo Alto
county. but thus far he has failed to
! take the proper steps TO get himself
| into the race.
! Chris Ottosen, of Humboldt county,
one of the progressive candidates for
railroad commissioner, was in the city
yesterday. He reports that he is re-
ceiving great encouragement and that
he intends TO go in to win. Mr.. Otto
sen is one of the active young repub-
/ licans of northern Iowa and he is well
| fitted for the place.
John J. Hamilton will pay no atten-
! ton TO the attacks of Rev. Mr.. Barber
who denies him the right to exercise
free choice in the matter Of candi-
dates for governor. Mr.. Barber took
the ground that Hamilton ought TO be
for the present governor because hi:
candidacy was largely responsible fol
the nomination of Carroll and defea
Of Garst. But Hamilton claims ths
right to exercise his own free choice ir
the matter and says that 50 far a!
the temperance people are concerned
they will receive just as fair treatmen
from Garst as from Carroll, most likel!
much better treatment
H. r. Wright has just returned
from Washin gton where he spent few
days assisting the dairymen in organ
! izing the fight to defeat the proposed
repeal of the tax on oleomargarine
Mr.. Wright is sure that the bill will
be defeated The plan is to have i
, OH 0f hO1S
so as to give several statesmen VIII
need an issue a chance to show wha
great men they are by defeating tn
bill. But the dairy interests will no
allow the bill to pass.
r. H. Moore, of Ottumwa, editor o
the Herald, which is vigorously sup
porting Governor Carroll for continu
ance in office, advises the democrat
that they can not elect Claude Porte
governor but should take a candidate
. who does not have the disadvantag
of two defeats. He is urging the nom
nation Of Senator Moon, adding:
1--WE have become so disguised wit
the entire insurgent movement that "
are DESTROYS of seeing a Democrat
victory all along the line in Iowa thi
fall.''
Mr.. Moore concludes that the "regu
lar republi cans" will "vote for a demo
| crat rather than permit the success
of the friends of Cummins and Dol
liver. He also advised Governor Car
4 roll to not be $50 thin skinned" blu
II 70 turn your office over to Bill Ny
= and go out in the state and max
speeches and knock the stuffin' out O
Garst" 1nasmuch as an Ottumw
q democrat Will be the opponent Of Sta.
Treasurer Morrow, Moore's suggestio
about "ail along the lire" indicate
danger for the Union county man.
There is at least one place in tn
state where Col. D. ]. Palmer is as
sured of the unanimous republican vot
at the primary. His correspondent
there sent back the nomination blan
with two names and the following
. TT am very sorry but am the only re
, publican in this town and my nam
looked so lonesome got one democrs
to sign with me" The town Is Barne.
