all progressives of the progressive,
were renominated.
The battle centered in the fight on
Cannonism and the house rules-in
fact, it centered on anything that look
ed like a relic of the old guard in
republican politics. An interesting
feature of the election was the fact
that Murdock and Madison were the
only candidates who did not have a
hard fight for reelection.
Governor William Roscoe Stubs
was renominated after a bitter fight
waged against him mainly by the rail-
roads and corporation interests, whose
candidate was Thos. Wagstaff.
J. NJ. Dolley, chairman of the re-
publican state committee. claimed
Stubbs victory by $4,000. The total
vote of the republicans is estimated
at 10000.

why THEY DON'T FIT

When a good looking woman
from the country climbs into
buggy the stockings she shows do
not fit as trim as those shown In
the muddy weather by the town
woman. The reason Is that the
country woman has rolls of bills
stuck In her hose that she has got
from produce. You don't see any
such wads under the town wom-
ans hose. They fit close and trim.

A Corn Growing Contest.
"The great good that came from the
King Corn Special prize fund collected

the State Fair Is evident to any one
who has paid much attention to the
interest already being taken in the
seed corn that IS to be planted next
year. Nearly all the farmers who have
regulations for growing good corn
have sold all OF their crop that they
could spare. IT looks as IL there
would be big demand for seed corn
this winter that is not going to he

ono can estimate the enormous in
crease In the corn crop that will result
from this general use of better seed.
It Is not too early now to be laying
plans for keeping UP the interest In
this work. In view OF tho fact that
prize OF 500 dollars has been Of

to insure a large and better exhibit OF

Corn Growers Association for pure
