Hope of finding any trace Of the

that the Nina did not proceed on its
Hateful voyage any further north than
Fenwick Island off the coast of Della

flashed to all vessels in the zone
north of that point TO discontinue
their patrols to their stations. This
reduced the searching squadron to the

survey every inch of the waters from

The days disclosures We're impor-

basis for future attempts to write the

him. Aids accuser was taken i'll

ccmhination OF bridge building con-
Germs. Known as the American Bridge
Company. had raised a corruption
fund in 1902. 1903 and 1905. Under
compulsion Senator Conger admitted
that the bridge companies in 1908

Kitchen Drudgery Made Play

Cleaning the pots and pans and
kettles is usually most disagreeable
piece of work, but like everything
else there is an easier way to do it, if
one knows how. AS soon as the food
is removed, pour in water and dissolve
in it Gold Dust washing powder in the
proportion of one tablespoonful to a
gallon of water. Leave to soak while
washing the dishes, then pour off
the water and fill with clean suds
made in the same way. If particles
of food still adhere to the inside of
the utensils, use pot rings for remov-
ng them.

they may have put forth, there
would be strong precedent fer such
action In the record Of Garst him
self / cannot now take the time
nor ask the space to set out the
pages 434. 435, 4S6, 437 of the SEN
ate journal of 1906, will show that he
voted with the democrats to refuse
to commend our senators and MEM
bers of congress; that he voted to
strike the names of Dolliver and
Hepburn out of the resolutions with
reference to the Hepburn-Dolliyer
rate bill, one of Roosevelt's admin
istration policies, and at page a6S
of the same journal, he voted viva
voce to strike the name of Hepburn
out of the resolutions with reference
to the Hepburn pure food bill. He
then voted to adopt the resolution
after he had succeeded in striking out
tht name of that pioneer enemy OF
'Cannonism' So a failure to en-
dorse' is not so new in Iowa. And
the failures of Garst were with refer
ence to men who were leading the
fight for .the Roosevelt policies. =
Underhanded Methods.
To this record might be added that
in the session of 1907 when Mr..
Dolliver was up for reelection TO the
senate, it vii probably be remem-
bered by most of the people that
there was some disposition on the
part of both factions to be indiHer-
ent toward his claims. AT that time
Mr.. Garst personally carried TO diff
ferent republican members OF the
legislature a paper which was in the
naure of an agreement TO be en-
forced when majority of the re-
publican legislators had signed il,
in which they were pledged TO vote
for Governor Albert B. Cummins for
senator in the republican caucus.
something more than thirty sigma
lures were secured TO this sgreem ent,
and only the fact that a large num-
Der of members had been obliged to
pledge themselves to Senator Dolii-
yer in the preliminary campaign pre-
vented his being left at home
This is merely another chapter in
the great play of Damon and Pythias
up to date
Some other matters upon which
Mr.. Garst's record should be of in
terest at this time are the child labor
law, against which he voted in 1904,
and voted for the amendments re-
ducing the minimum age of factory
employees from fourteen to twelve,
and OF employees with dangerous
machinery from sixteen to fourteen.
Both amendments were lost, and he
finally voted for the bill upon its
passage, when only three votes were
polled against it. He also voted
against the bill requiring mint OPP
orators to pay their employees in cash.
These are but a few things in
which the general public are inter-
ested and should be known to the
republicans of Iowa to whom Mr..
Garst is appealing in the very I'M
usual campaign now going on

BARMEIER ADMITS
HE MIsREPRESENTs.
Office Seeker Says he Had Object in
View in Trying to Deceive Hunters
on Expenditure of Big Fund.

Harry Barmeier of Dubuque, whom
Governor Carroll refused to appoint
state fish and game warden in place
of an old soldier. and who has since
been trying TO deliver the Iowa State
Fish and Game Protective Associa-
ton for Warren Garst, has made a
remarkable confession admitting the
falsity of statements contained in
his recent letter to the sportsmen of
the state urging hem to vote for
Warren Garst.
In his letter he said that the cover
nor has full control over the expendi-
ture of the hunters license fund and
that Governor Carroll had said that
only portion of the fund should
be used for the benefit of the hunters.
When confronted with the law
which makes it the duty of the game
warden to spend the fund Barmeier
said, Yes, ] know that the law pro-
vides that the state game warden
shall spend the fund that the gov
ernor has nothing TO DIDO with it ex-
cept to asst the other members OF
the executive council in auditing the
bills"
Then why did you put contrary
statement, which you knew was not
true in your recent letter." was
asked.
We'll, ] had an object in view and
besides lots of them won't know the
difference, was the reply of this
man who failed to make good"

mer administrations.
