Des Moiens, May 2.-Neither Senator
Moon nor Claude Porter will make
speaking campaign for the democratic
nomination for governor. Both say
they are content to have the democrats
of the state make choice tor party
leader without undue interference. Bo1h
were in Des Moines Saturday afternoon
coming without knowledge of each 9TH
er and each one strictly on business.
Porter is relying entirely on the pres
tige which he received in his two de-
feats for state office. Moon has wide
acquaintance especially among the
Younger lawyers of the state and
among the legislators. Porter has great
repute as public speaker but in fact
Moon is equally good as speaker, per-
haps more eloquent and certainly pos
sessins a vein of humor which always
eulivens his addresses. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Bashor is going to do some
travelling about the state and make
rather aggressive fight for the noml-
nation. Democrats about Des MONIES
are doping it that the contest will
really be between Moon and Bashor.
publican club among the students of
the Iowa State College is taken to in
dictate how rapidly is spreading the
idea of standing by the party promises
and organizing to checkmate the pur-
poses of the trust schemers- 1t seems
that the young man, E. G. Beinhart,
who was elected president, came from
Cincinnati and was somewhat pre-
JUDGED against the Iowa idea Of plac-
ing principles above all else, but he has
become quickly converted and is an en-
thusiastic progressive. Henry A. Wal
lace was elected vice president. He is
a grandson of the veteran Uncle
Henry" and he has done some writing
which marks him as Of the true Wal
lace type. H. A. Patterson is the sec
rotary. Thus far the standpats Of the
college have not shown any disposition
to get together, if there are any
Des Moines newspaper boys are
pleased over the fact that the bill to
give Major Frank Lyman a chance for
examination to be placed on the retired
list of the army has passed the house.
1t will probably pass the senate readily
as both Iowa senators Will be for IL
Major Lyman has long been in the
newspaper work in Des Moines, one Of
while perhaps others get the credit, and
his case is a deserving one. He broke
his health down completely in -as

ment resigned, when he should have
been placed on the retired LIST.

The state pharmacy commission
meets today and closes the years ousi-
hess. The report of Secretary Moore
shows that there has been a great in
crease in the number of irinerant ven
doris Of drugs, and this increase has
been going on steadily for several
years. The number Of pharmacy
certificates has not very much in
creased. Every pharmacist pays 81 A
year for renewal of his certificate and
this brings revenue to the commission
sufficient to far more than pay all ex-
penses. The number of itinerant ven
dors in the state is now about $50.
They pay 800 a. year each. into the
state treasury, or a total of about $685.
600. These itinerant vendors work in
the country and that the business is
profitable is indicated by their num-
Der.
An illustration of the way the senti-
rnent in the state is turning was given
in a small town in Story county where
there are men taking sufficient inter-
est in the affairs of the state to keep
tab on the voters Capt. Hull spent
day there and Judge Prouty held 4
meeting. At the last election Hull re-
ceived SO votes and the progressive
committee has the names of every one.
This year they find there are just three
standpatters left-two besides the
postmaster These three alone will
vote for Hull and Carroll and indorse
the Aldrich- Cannon program.
A great deal of interest is mani
tested here in the developments in re-
gard to the bribery used in connection
with the election of Lorimer to the
senate in Illinois. 1t is recalled that
the Iowa standpatters rejoiced ex-
ceedingly over this election, because
Lorimer had been shown special favor
by the administra ton and was recog-
nized as an administration man, while
Hopkins, the regular candidate of the
republican caucus, was accused Of in
surgent tendencies. Now it is found
that the Lorimer election was ac-
complished by bribery. This taken in
connection with the election of his man
Moxley, to the lower house to succeed
him and the subsequent discovery that
Monkeys firm is still engaged in vio-
lating the laws in regard to fraudulent
use Of oleomargarine, is Of special in
terest to the dairy interests Of the
state.
