II not one instance Is the defeated
canuluates for republican nomination
opposing the election OF his pre- orI-
mary y opponent who succeeded in his
HendeaYor to become the party nominee.
.dnstsad, ala, most of them are urging the
nominations they desired Especially
IS thls true with reference to the con-
gressfonal nominees Take FOR instance
the ninth district. Before the juno
primary faetional differences were
very marked. and the race between
congressman Walter I. Smith and At
torney General II. w. Byers was vig-5
orous When Smith won out orer
Hyers and became the party nominee
ZOE re election, Byers not only wrota

unite with the other faction and sup
port Smith. brtt he has since spoken in
behalf Of Smith. ..3'
Down In the second district, a. f.
Dawson, the present congrcssmnn
who is serving his arst term. is an
pearing on the speaking platform with
Charles Grilk, who now holds tire re-s
publican nomination. And SO II is tfa
state over. Many of the republican
consressmen We're recognized as such
efficient public se1yans that they had
no opposition in the primary.
The Districts Reviewed.
..s-
the friends Of Clas. A. Kennedy have
been making quiet campaign for his
reelection, There has heen no red fire
there kennedys majority will be a.
good one.
In marked contrest, the campaign IN
the second district has been carried
on by extensive speaking tours. Col.
Roosevelt spoke there several times
Friday,
In the third district 6. d. PICKETT
had no opposition at the primary. His
democratic opponent is doing little in
the way Of a campaign, and it is felt
that Mr.. Pickett's reelection IS as
sured.
In the fourth district the democrats
have been making an especially act
i've fight but aside from those OF the
republicans that have always opposed
e. ~. Haugen, 1t is apparent that the
democrats have no outside strength.
In the fifth district James w Good
had no opposition at the primary. He
has served but one year In congress,
but made creditable record.
In the sixth district N. e. Kendall
had no opposition in the primarv and
in the general election is opposed nv
the same democratic nominee he de-
feated two years ago.
In the seventh district the men who
were most prominent In opposing the
iloHilidlloH OI Juu8e y. IT. FfOuty at
the primary are speaking with him
in various parts OF the state. They are
urging his election. .
In the eighth district Judge H. M.
Towner is being opposed by 4 demo.
crat who ran for congress sixteen
years ago. At that time he advocated
among other things the unconditional
repeal Of all tariff legislation and laws
for the collection OF private debts, and
now he is claiming that he held ad-
vanced ideas which the people are now
converted to.
Walter I. Smith Busy.
In the ninth district. Judge Walter
i. Smith has been making one OF the
most active speaking campaigns in
Iowa. For weeks he has been touring
the district in an auto, meeting the
voters along the way, and making ad-
dresses In all the towns
The tenth district 10 the only one in
which the democrats have no nominee.
Frank p. Woods will be reelected
without effort on his part.
In the eleventh district. the oppo-
sition to E. n. Hubbard Is considered
of little consequence. The district is
