DIES MONIES, April 15.-The an
Inouncement of Gov. B. F. Carroll that
he would ask denomination of the
republican voters of Iowa to the office
of governor has been well received all
over the state and kilograms and let
tiers have been pouring into his Office
in which assurances are being given
from all parts of Iowa and from all
factions that he would receive an en-
thusiastic support The effort of a
small coterie of politicians in the capt.
tai city headed by Bert Koltz, who
was forced to resign from the Office
of commission of pharmacy because of
irregularity in Office, and B. w. Gar
rett, whose resignation was asked by
the board of parole and was later &C
cepted to seek revenge by causing the
present governor the trouble of fight
but poor response in many sections of
the state.
| All day today the kilograms and
telephone messages were received by
the governor in which the current eX-
preston was that the attempt to d.
vide the state of Iowa on an issue in
the governors office would not be toll
Grated. These assurances were not
from men who were with Governor
Carroll two years ago, when he ran
for the nomination against Warren
Garst, but in many instances were
from the supporters of the present
senators who refuse to recognize the
right of few disappointed politicians
who were removed from their office
/ for just cause, to break a party prece-
dent and party rule which exists not
only in state affairs but in every coun-
Ity office in the Countrywide right of
a second term without opposition
Reports from the different sections
of the state are highly encouraging to
the supporters of Governor Carroll. In
some Of the Second district cities the
progressives there refused to sign the
Garst papers declaring that fair play
and decent treatment should be ac-
corded to the man who was nominated
at the June primaries two years ago
by plurality of over $4,000 and was
given vote at the November election
greater than ever before was accord
ed the governor of the state.
Progressive leaders in the First dis
trict have reyolted from the attempt
at dictation which has been made by
Koltz, Garrett and other party disturb
ers and have assured Governor Carroll
of tier loyal support. The same facts
are true in the Sixth district, Governor
promised him vote of protest against
t effort to make the office of COVER
nor a football for any game of politics
which a few discharged and disap-
pointed office holders please to play.
In this county already a strong non
factional organization has been
launched in the interest of Governor
Carroll and it is being claimed that a
bigger vote will be recorded for him
in Polk county than there was two
years ago, when he carried it by a
majority of 551. Every effort Is being
made in Des Moine7 to drag the sena-
torial question into the present cam
paign and it is meeting with indiffer-
lence.
1t was stated from the governor S
office today that headquarters will be
opened in few days and the perfect
ed organization announced.
