address at Coe college at Cedar Rapids on
juno 70 ana similar address at Grinneu
college on June H. It is stated that he
has had peverai hundred invitations TO
speak in Iowa si1ce his election as senator.
He anticipates that congress will have ad-
journed by the time he will want to return
for these addresses.
The press of the state has given Senator
Kenyon a most hearty approval in adj
vance and II In doubtful If anyone was
ever elevated TO public office in the state
with the good will and good wishes of such
a large number of the people From no
quarter has there come any criticism OF
him or any disposition TO make It difficult
for him TO fulflll the promises of his candi-
dacy. His credentials as senator were for
warded to him n Few days ago and it is
probable he viii take his seat in the
senate Monday
Il II not anticipated that there will be
very much activity IN relation TO the soma
torial campaign OF next year. for some
time yet. At present II seems almost GER
tain that Senator Kenyon will have a
taS11 aAetu LOT TenOWnalon HI Ane pTl~
mary in June, 1912. as many of those who
were opposed to his selection have indi-
Gated they win be for him then.
Ninth District 10 Avoid "A Fight.
All the information from the Ninth con-
gressional district is TO the effect that
the republicans Of the district are de-
ternined upon avoidance OF a fight for
the republican nomination for congress.
The Indications are that Judge w r.
Green of Audubon. who has not been at
all conspicuous in recent politics OF the
state, will be nominated for the republican
candidate, though Willis Stern of Logan
and e. S. White Of Harlan are said to he
in the race. The democrats will probably
renominate w. S. Cleveland Of Harlan.
VINO has twice made the race before and
has shown himself a good vote getter, but
the republicans believe that IL they can
secure nomination without fight they
can win easily. This will be the only
political contest Of the year in Iowa.

cirate the need of Iowa nurses in the pres
ent trouble with Mexico. however
