'.LAFE" YOUNG SAYS HE WILL
BE A CANDIDATE.
Announces Himself as Aspirant For
Office Made Vacant by Death
Of Senator DOlliver.

LATE" Young has announced him
self as candidate for the Office of
United States Senator to succeed
the late Senator J. P. Dolliver.
The announcement of Mr.. Young
follows:
To the republican members of the
Thirty-fourth general assembly of
Iowa:
. In this public manner desire to
announce that l am candidate for
United States senator to succeed the
late Senator Dolliver. In other
words, / ask the general assembly
which meets in January to ratify the
appointment made by Governor
b. F. Carroll. The Dolliver term
will expire March 4, 1918. am un-
der no pledge to Governor Carroll
or to anyone else in regard to M
candidacy for the Dolliver success
sion. or for the term beginning
March 4. 1913. If chosen by the
votes of the general assembly as
senator, / pledge myself to the SER
vice of the people in honesty and
sincerity.
Every good cause shall have my
assistance. Every good measure
shall have my vote. AS I have here
tofore announced, I shall attempt
to be a builder rather than a critic
or destroyer. Some of the best re-
forms can-be effected by the con-
structive rather than by destructive
work. In judging the quality Of a
measure, shall not inquire its
source. 1t will not be my purpose
to distract the republican party,
whose success In 1912 should be
the aim Of every republican. The
republican party has demonstrated
its capacity to do big and wise
things. The party should be sus-
tanned. 1t should be made ready for
the great contest two years ahead.
The democratic party has never
been able to satisfy the country of
its fitness to rule. 1t is considered
unsafe by a majority of the people,
invite all of my friends through
out the state, without further delay,
to use their influence in my behalf.
Respectfully,
LAFAYETTE YOUNG.

We are glad We did not stop the

we found an item in it that Is worth
years subscription. 1t was that
Tom Maxwell of Corning had been
elected judge by majority Of 8
votes. That is skating on mighty
thin ice but it is enough. We have
known of Tom Maxwell for many
years and no doubt our lawyers
know him. We know Henry Eicher
does, and he knows that Maxwell Is
q good lawyer and we are 80 glad
that he is elected that we are going

In Doubt As to Whether G.. o. p. Has
Been Licked Hard Enough.

Secretary Wilson was asked re-
Gently what would be the effect Of
the democratic victory on republi-
cans with respect to 1912,and wheth::
er republicans could get together
for the 1912 campaign. He did not
know whether the republicans had
been beaten badly enough to drive
them together. He said: "Wheth-
er the republicans get together for
the presidential campaign depends
on whether they have been licked
hard enough. l do not know wheth-
er they have got a hard enough
licking to induce them to drop this
internecine werfare, this factional
strife. If the same differences are
going to continue, then we may be
in for another and worse licking"

WHEN IOWA LOSES ONE CON-
GRESHAM.
III Appointment Is Cut Legislature
This Winter Must Act and Plans
Are Devised.

7, That Iowa Will nave put ten con-
gressmen instead of eleven after
March 4, 1913. Is regarded as very
probable.
That the legislature which meets
next January will have to redistrict
the state congressionally. follows:
The best posted public men be-
lieve that the official census reports
will be ready for congress when it
c0nvenes in December and 1t is
thought to be certain that congress
will Immediately fix the appointment
on the basis of which members Of
congress thereafter are to be elected.
Il Practically all of the states have
been reported and a fair estimate of
q population of 100000 has been
made. If the present ratio of about
100, 900 to the district were contin-
ued it would add thirty or forty
members to the house of represen-
tatives. The opinion prevails that
congress will not permit the mem
bership of the house to exceed 400.
And In order to keep it down to-
that figure it will be necessary to fix
an apportionment of about 225 900.
Under the last census Iowa has a
population of 2,224,771. If con-
gress fixed the ratio at $1,000 as
expected. Iowa would be entitled to
ten congressman. And this is the
number which it is believed Iowa
will have after the next congress.
II. The Thirty-fourth general assem-
bly, will have to act, although no
serious effort toward redistricting
has been attempted by the legisla-
ture Of Iowa in twenty-five years.
despite the existence of serious dis
proportion among the districts. For
instance, for several years the popu-
Iation of the Eleventh district and
~ the Tenth has been about $780,
600, while that of the First mas been
about 165, 900. But as long as Iowa
was given eleven congressman no
legislature had the courage to I'M
dertake the business of trying to
redistrict. With the number of con-
gressmen allotted to this state cut
to ten it is necessary that the as
sembly remake the congressional
districts.
Politicians do not apprehend great
difficulty will attend the solution Of
the problem in view of the fact that
one of the eleven congressman from
Iowa is q democrat and a republi-
can legislature probably can devise
districts which will carefully elimin-
ate him without injuring the repub-
lican members of the delegation ex-
cept insofar as readjustment of their
districts will discommode their polit-
sical machines.
Three plans have been proposed
already by one of the leading repub-
icans of Iowa for making ten con-
-gfee6i0nal districts in Iowa.
y In what may be termed plan No.
4 Muscatine county, in which I. S.
Pepper, the democratic congressman
elect, resides, is added to the First
district, together with Wapello coun-
ty from the Sitxh district.
Computations disclose the fact
that these plans give the districts
as nearly the average population of
226. 900 as it Is possible to make.

ties In the proposed district Of plan

County Precinct Officers

The county central committee must
provide for the nomination of precinct
officers either through appointment or
selection by the convention system,
according to an opinion rendered by
ID, {. Med ,ugall, encouragement, in.
response to numerous inquiries with
respect to this important feature of
the direct primary law, says the Boise
News Under the opinion rendered
by the attorney generals office, the
convention system permitted only in
the selection Of the precinct officers,
its power ceasing there and selection
Of other candidates for the nomination
to be made by the people at the pri-
maries.
The opinion rendered is in answer
to inquiries by Dwight f. Hodge,
prosecuting attorney of Nez Perez,
who is among the number who have
recently made inquiry of the attorney
general with respect to selection Of
precinct officers. The reply of the at
torney-general, wherein the opinion
and his advice are set forth is as fol-
lows: !.
Boise, Idaho, July 20, 1910
Dear Sir: In reply to your letter
of July II, have to say as follows
Precinct officers are not to be
nominated under the primary system
at all but are to be nominated ac-
cording to the provisions of section 30
Of the primary law which provides
that the nomination for, precinct Off
GERS must be provided for by the party
organization. This does not neces7
sarily mean that in the case of pre-
cinct officers, the county central COM
mittee must make the nomination
themselves, but that they must
provide for the same, which i'm
plies that they must provide for
said nominations in any reasonable
way, for instance as by convention.
Possibly the convention system will be
the chief way by which such nomina-
tons will be made. In such case, the
county central committee would prop
erly call convention and the nomi-
nations SO made by said convention
would be certified by the president
and the secretary up to the county
clerk as provided for in the general
election law.
"In respect to your second question
as to the second set Of judges, in my
judgment, there is nothing inconsistent
in sections u and % of the primary
law, and the general law. l believe
that you have done right in having
the county commissioners appoint two

Dairy Industry IN u S.

According to the last year book of
the Department of Agriculture, there
are 2l,720,000 mich cows in the
United States, and these are worth
S7O2,945,00O. The magnitude of the
industry can perhaps be best under
stood when it is considered that these
cows produce yearly about 81 200, 600
600 worth of dairy products.
There is no other branch of diversi-
fled agriculture SO important to the
progress of a community. The fertil-
ity Of the soil can best be maintained
by the liberal use of barnyard ma
nure and the dairy herd not only
makes this possible, but dairying is
also more remunerative than other
branches Of farming when properly
carried on.
Dairying has made wonderful pro-
gress since the advent of the modern
creamery and the consumer of butter
has not only been benefited by being
furnished more wholesome and pal
atable article of food, but the wife in
the farm home has been relieved Of
the drudgery incident to making but
ter on the farm. Where formerly the
cream was ripened and churned into
butter under conditions not conducive
to fine quality in the finished product
and in the majority of cases by un-
skilled hands. now the most of the
milk or cream is delivered to mod
ern creamery where conditions are
suited to the purpose of making butter,
and the result has been wonderful
Improvement in the quality of our
dairy products. As the quality has
improved consumption has increased
and the progress of dairying has been
remarkable during the past decade.
The perpetuity of the country's
greatness depends upon increasing the
production of farm products from year
to year, result which not only fur
nished our people with food but main
tains the prosperity Of our farming
communities. Increase in production
can only come through improved
methods of agriculture and soil i'm
provement. When it is considered
that the dairy COW is the foundation
for soil improvement and farming
prosperity, her Importance is best un-
derstood, and interest in her should
not be confined to her owner. She is
an important factor in the develop
ment and prosperity Of our country.

These two men are charged with
stealing and things look rather serious
for them. The officer was searching
for set of harness stolen from a
Winona rancher at the time of the
arrest and in passing Robinett's pas
ture noticed four horses in the field
and becoming suspicious questioned
him regarding the animals.
The story put up by Robinett was
of suspicious sort and he was taken
in charge. 1t is thought the animals
were taken near Salmon City. The
