VICE PRESIDENT
SHERMAN SPEAKER
Chairman Of the Senate and Vice
President Of United States to be
at Iowa U. Commencement.

Keokuk graduates of Iowa u,
and others interested in the old
school will learn that prominent
politician, James S. Sherman, vice
president of the United States, is to
be the principal speaker at the COM
mencement exercises to be held there
on June Is. An Iowa City paper has
the following of the intended visit and
arrangements of the nations second
chief executive to that city:
James Schoolcraft Sherman, vice
president Of the United States, will be
the commencement speaker at the
University of Iowa this year. An ac-
ceptance was received from him this
morning by President MacLean. Mr..
Sherman stated that he would arrive
in Iowa City at o'clock on the morn
ing of June Is, and would leave at
$3.50 in the afternoon, in order to
reach Utica, New York, on the 18th.
Mr. Sherman is an orator of the
first rank. His ability as a speaker
assisted him in great measure in
obtaining the republican nomination
for vice president, although his sub
sequent serious illness prevented him
from making a speaking campaign.
Mr.. Shermans address will of
course be non-partisan.

FRIDAY, JULY %, 1910.

After considerable solicitation
at the hands of his friends James
H. Hawley, of Boise, has decided
to accept the nomination for gov
ernor on the democratic ticket
and will make the race. Mr..
Hawley is one of Idaho's leading
attorneys and one of the bright
est men in the northwest. He is
of sterling integrity and unblem-
ished character and would make
an ideal state executive. It is
stated that M. Alexander, OF
Boise, John c. Rice, of Caldwell,
will also be on the ticket for
gubernatorial honors but it is be-
lieved that Mr.. Hawley will have
no trouble in securing the nomi.
nation at the primaries. In such
event he will give the successful
republican candidate a race fol-
the position that will break all
the speed laws into smithereens.

1t gives US pleasure this week
to announce the candidacy of H.
H. Nuxoll, of this place, for the
position of representative on the
republican ticket. Mr.. Nuxoll is
president of the German State
Bank and one of the most SUBJ
stantial citizens of our commu-
nifty. He is pioneer citizen of
Idaho county and a man eminent
ly qualified for the position to
which he aspires. His sound
business sense and ability, COUP
led with his thorough under
standing of the needs of this end
of the state, would make him an
ideal legislator and the voter
who wishes to have his best in
terests protected cannot afford to
cast his vote against Mr.. Nuxoll
at the primaries. If elected tc
the position of representative we
feel certain Mr.. Nuxoll will
achieve results during the next
session of the legislature as he is
a man who refuses to let OBJ
stacles keep him from accom-.
plishing the purposes for which
he aims.

ranging to hold big live stock
show here sometime in October,

of the finest live stock in north

this kind would prove of lasting
benefit to our town and commu-

result in the raising of better

would rebound to the credit of
our city in more ways than one.
