In ludicrous manner. Senator La

an object lesson in The machine policy
Of being right to be wrong.
The effect upon one who studies
the record of Kennedy,s brief con-
gressioral career IS like that produced
by hearing a cracked record played
upon a photograph. The brazen notes
of Cannonism dominate thruout and
the Intermittent scratching of recurr-
ing irregular votes, serves only to add
70 the noisomeness and irritation of the
piece. His promotion TO congress was

In discussing Congressman Ken

Thirteen times Kennedy is recorded
as not voting Eleven times he
avoided the issue and answered pres

Kennedy is found voting with the
lieutenants of CanRonism 222 times. On
with seeming independence some dealt

FARMERS PLANTING CORN
Seed Being Put in Ground in Hamilton
county-EarIiest Planting Known in
That Portion of Iowa.

Special 20 Times Republican.
webster City. April I5--Corn plant
ing has begun in Hamilton county. j.
B. Merritt and number OF other
farmers residing north OF the city
planted corn this week So far
as known. this is the earliest
that corn has ever been planted
in this part Of the state. The
condition of things is most remarkable
and unless a freeze prevents northern
Iowa IS more than likely to harvest
corn this fall month or so earlier
than usual.
Those who have planted corn reason
it out this way: Its really too early,
but If the weather continues as it has,
the crop will get months start on the
usual time for putting it in. suppose
it freezes down. plenty Of time will still
remain for replanting. In the latter
event the farmer loses only mis- time
and the seed. The chance is worth TAX
ing
The experiment Of so early corn
planting is one that will be watched
with no little interest by farmers all
over north central Iowa. If il wins. it
will pay well and If it comes to naught,
nothing VIII have been lost. The
farmer has everything to gain and
nothing TO Iose-unless he is short on
seed

against free lumber. After voting first
to put hides on the free list, he voted
later for a ten per cent duty. He
voted for the Payne bill when 1t passed
the house, and for the Payne-Aldrich
bill when 1t was presented in the con-
ference report.
'eThe regulars lost and calendar
Wednesday was sustained" says Sem
ator La Toilette, speaking of the par
hamentary battle against the domin-
alton of Cannoniem. when the fight
was renewed the next day ON the cen
sus resolution. Kennedy voted. with the
regulars and for CannonisIn, to order
the previous question.
when the votes were counted and it
was found that Cannon had been saved.
Kennedy was of the hrst to jump to his
feet and pound his desk, acclaiming
n1adiy the saving Of the CZar!"

to SIS Cents.

AGING TO THE BULLS.
NO LIFE TO THE MARKET

Chicago, May 2S.-The lowest prices
of the season were made in wheat to-
day. A little group of tail-enders gave
VI the fight for the May option. and
sold out in driblets all the way down
to 96 cents. a sheer drop of SIC from
last nights figures. Because of poor
buying support. new crop futures fin
ished &c to 1s913c down. Corn closed
sc to 1zc off. and oats lc to 1gc. Last
quotations for provisions were IN
changed to 27ac lower.
Disincllnation to stand out over two
holidays at the new low levels had
much to do with the remarkable lack
OF vitality. Then, 100, fine rains ell
over the Canadian northwest and the
DakOtas, further showers for final fill
ing Of the winter wheat southwest, and
a general warming up Of temperatures
were far from encouraging any symp-
tom Of bulliShneSS. An official call for

quired last year in Kansas was also out
The northwest reported country sales
of wheat very liberal and the elevators

pOrtant item of the Cay from q bull
standpoint was the sale Of cash wheat
here. One local milling concern bought
100000 bushels OF this total Foreign
ers covered some short wheat here to-
day. For new crop futures, the close
was fairly steady, with September
showing a net loss Of Z a 1c- The range
for that option was from 91Zc TO CSC,
ard the last price 91R691sc. May
closed at the bottom figure 96c.
Corn was weak Cash interests were
free sellers of the near deliveries in
particular. September ranged from
57Ac to 5S2c, and closed &c down at 57ac.
The cash market also was weak. No.

IN oats there was general liquidation
by longs, with the most pressure on
September. That month fluctuated be-
tween 35Sc and 362 a 365c closing with
l a I5c loss at s. n 352c.
Although provisions were higher
early on the light offerings of hogs
here and west, weakness in the grain
list and realizing by longs caused an
easing off later. Pork at the close was
