Senator Young has been personally

I also. Senator Funk. Senator Smith,

Endorsed and urged by newspapers

the new spirit of party loyalty.

the people OF the state.
| The contest, so far as it has devel-
oped at all. is a friendly one between
deserving and acceptable republicans,
neither one disposed to call in question
the republicanism nor the ability of the
other. not one having any advantage
over the other in respect TO party
standing II the contest goes on to
! a finish in this amiable way it is GER
/ tain that the outcome Will leave no
! bad feelings. The belief prevails that
the legislature will be able to work out
the problem by selecting the republic
| can who is deemed best fitted for the
place regardless of the wishes of cam
didates or outsiders.
The factional lines are not being
considered very far.
| Despite the active and earnest cam
paign conducted to secure big vote
for the proposal for a constitutional
convention in Iowa the total vote cast
fell short of 44,Oo4 Of being as great as
| that for the same proposal ten years
ago. The majority of 32169 against the
convention at this time does not make
I a very good showing. from the stand
point Of the advocates of the putting
prohibition into the constitution, with
the petty majority of 555 by which the
same thing was defeated the last time
| it was before the people. The vote ten
years ago was 1852 against and 1I6.-
337 for the convention. This year 1t was
Il31.SS6 for and 164.055 against. The
vote for the prohibition party ticket is
also somewhat discouraS:nS 20 the
I third partyiees. For secretary OF state
! it was 1912 for auditor 1886 and for
treasurer s,G34. This represents the
normal vote for the ticket as a whole.
The chairman of the third party con-
hdently expected a vote Of $4,000 for
the ticket.
