M Question Whatever About the Result of the
Primary Election In Iowa on Tuesday Which
Comes as an Endorsement for Carroll.

Convention and the State Will Thus be

tion republicans in congress rejoiced
Monday over the results OF the prir-
maries in Pennsylvania Saturday, but
they jubilated when they heard from
the Iowa primaries, announcing llat
Walter l. Smith and Charles A. Ken
against whom Senator Cummins, lead
or of the insurgent cohorts, made the
hardest fight, had won by magnificent
majorities over their insurgent oppo-
nents. When 1t was known positively
Governor Carroll was renominated
they were wild with rejoicing.
In the case of Smith and Kennedy,
regular republicans, the issue was
squarely drawn on the question OF
stand pat against insurgency. Smith
is member of the rules committee,
a close personal friend of Speaker
Cannon. The only standpatter who
suffered defeat was Representative
Hull, who has been in congress for
years. and chairman of the committee
on military affairs for several con-
crosses. While it is true that eight
progressive republicans and three
standpatters were nominated, it is
pointed out that in the case of three
progressives, there was no contest
against them by standpatters. Seven
OF them are incumbents and their
nominations were uncontested. The
eighth man ran without a standpat
opponent facing him.
"The stalwarts made substantial
gains" said member of the republi-
can congressional committee. Of
course, the other side will claim a
victory, for Representative Hull is
undoubtedly defeated for renomina-
ton. but Mr.. Hull's defeat is not laid
to the door of any one faction of
the party. 1t is matter peculiarly
the property of that district. Four
times he has been opposed by Judge
Prouty. The first time Hull had
big majority, the second time Prouty
cut his lead in two, the third time
Hull had a narrow escape from defeat,
and the fourth time the judge won
I'VE in Washington have had our

day was decided victory for the stall

night that he would put to work today

The serious feature about the mat

have to draw upon other moneys in

warden thought, might be used for i'm

Extensive improvements had been
planned for the kitchen and dining
rooms, to cost $4,000, but this will

the building was lighted with candles
last night. The Capital building and

were in darkness.

Ter Give Delightful Concert.

The concert last night, given by Mr..
Percy Hemus. baritone of New York,
and. Miss Margaret Fowler, -violinist of
Kansas City. was attended by a crowd
which comfortably filled the high
school auditorium. The program was
varied, consisting of groups of brief Sc

Topeka and engaged in amateur must
cal affairs about the town Five years
ago he came out from New York and
gave p concert that showed a marked
progress in training and ability. His
concert last night showed the unusual
versatility of his powers. 1t is hard to
decide which he sings best, the heavy
or the light music. the comic or the
serious. The. opening number was
Beethoven's Creations Hymn" by
which the range and strength of his
voice were proven.
At the request of some of his friends,
Mr.. Hemus sang 1.-The Two Grena-
diers'' and "a Belated Violet His
rendering of 1.-THE Pirate Song" was
an impressive bit of work, and as IA
miliar as the words are, those who had
never heard it sung. could have no
idea how uncanny it may be made.
Mr.. Hemus is thoroughly at home with
his audience. and his pleasant man

begins to sing. His voice is good both
Quantitively and qualitively but his
strongest point is his Interpretation.

Odd Shaving Habits.

1t is said that of men who shave
themselves not one In fifty can use the
razor with Doth hands. and to this
may be added other curious facts
about the shaving habits of the aver
age man.
There Is the president of a trust
company In New York who. he tells
his friends. always shaves himself
standing In u corner of the room and
facing the wall. He was poor coun-
try boy and, like most boys, bought II
razor on the sly. There was no mir.
ror in his bedroom and rather than
let his people know what he was about
be faced the wall and scraped away
by sense OF feeling. Once accustomed
TO this method he never needed a glass.
There Is Il United States senator.
formerly Il farmer. who for many
years shaved himself sitting on milk
Ing stool and looking at his reflection
In bucket Of water. That was what
he did as boy and man on the farm,
and he says that he couldn't shave
standing up.-New York Tribune.
