Dies Moines, Nov. 19.-The theory
that it is very expensive thing to
make a campaign for governor of Iowa,
or other state office, was spoiled by the
statements made of the various candi-
dates at the recent election. Governor
Carroll only spent less than IA half
months salary getting elected and
Claude Porter not quite as much. The
fact that the national republican COM
mittee. put $1,000 into the fight in the
Ninth district will not cause any sur
prise. as it was supposed it would be
willing to pay even more for assur-
ance Of success there. The committee
also helped in a small way in two other
districts of the state, the Sixth and
Second.
The legislature committee of the
Iowa Pharmaceutical Association will
have to do some explaining when the
associat ton next meets. A circular was
sent to all druggists of the state, over
the signature of the legislative COM
mittee, advising that the druggists vote
for Porter for governor. While it was
was much interest in the election and
the members to large extent lined up
that way, they felt that it was wrong
to make use of their organization. The
committee includes w. r. Beck, Des
Mones; Frank Clark, Ottumwa; U. S.
Marshal, and others.
Some of the owners of job printing
establishments in Des Moines have re-
vived the scheme to have the printing
and binding for the state done by con-
tract so that they Will get a chance at
it. The ordinary prices charged in Des
Moines for all kinds of job work are
now higher than the legal prices fixed
by law, and it is only because of the
state having such a large amount that
the printer can afford to do it at the
prices paid. This was not formerly the
case, but prices of labor have gone up
very much. The state now follows the
business methods adopted by all large
concerns in the matter of printing, eX-
cept that firms like the Chamberlain
Medicine Company have their own
printing plant and will not let out jobs
here and there on contract. 1t is not
at all probable that the problem of
changing the method Of having the
state printing done Will DC reopened
seriously by the legislature.
Senator Cummins went to Chicago
yesterday on business and in accord
ance with previous engagement. He
has. been very busy getting ready for
the coming session Of congress and
expects to go to Washington at an early
date. 1t is improbable that he will re-
turn during the holidays.
The biennial report of State Treas
urer Morrow has just been made ready
for distribution. 1t is q book which
contains q vast amount Of interesting
information for Iowa people, tho it will
not reach very many of them. 1t does
show, however, that the state has not
had any debt in fact since 1899 when
the last Of the warrants outstanding
were paid off. The nominal debt which
is carried on from year to year now Is
only nominal and is never as much as
the cash on hand. The report shows
the total expenditures from the gen.
$4661,5 7376. 1t also shows that the
state will raise more money by direct
taxation than ever before in the next
year.
The local press club gives dinner
this evening for the special purpose Of
fully and definitely committing the club
to the candidacy of Lafe Young for
senator. Governor Carroll will be pres
