Kenyon to washington g. new era In
Iowa politics starts this week.
The campaign Of 1912 for state and
federal officers II already on and from
this time on every movement will be
watched with interest. Senator Young
has announced that he will Immediate
~ enter upon q campaign tour OF the
state, in fact he has already addressed
dates for many others, He will de
vote all Of HIS time to his campaign
for senator, which campaign will cul-
inmate with the holding Of the primary
election in June Of next year. 1T is the
intention OF Senator Young to carry on
the fight vigorously in all the inter-
vening months, and as he Is good
public speaker and has a newspaper of
wide influence he will make lively
campaign.
Just what will be the plans Of Sem
Ators Kenyon remains to be developed.
According to the situation as 1t Is shown
to exist at Washington during the spe-
cial session. Senator Kenyon refused
10 make any statement as to any def
ndte program or policy as to details,
contentinE himself with assurances
that he would favor thu policies OF
greatest benefit to the state and MAX
ing Il plain that he has not changed IN
the alightest and Is an enthusiastic
progressive. There is expectation that
he will not do very much campaign
speaking until next fall. but as there
Is no state campaign on this year there
win be littls opportunity. He will be
Handicapped somewhat next year at
the time Of the primary by reason Of
the fact that congress Will be In ses-
sion during all the time Of the primary
campaign.
But the situation az 1t has developed
now makes 1t certain there will be a
clear out fight between the two fac
lions In Iowa on the senatorial matter.
Kenyon Will Be Strong Man.
There il no doubt in the minds OF
most Of the leading republicans Of the
state that Senator Kenyon will prove
TO be q strong man In the United
states sena4s. They point out that he
has had Just enough OF public life
10 give him a thorough understanding
OF all the larger public questions OF
the day, but has not been 20 In the
thick Of the eight that he is tangled up
with the petty politics OF the day. He
has. bean on the district bench and in
tho law, but he has kept abreast OF
The times politically and has always
taken keen delight in political discus-
sion.
\ The great demonstration in honor
Of Judge Kenyon at his home in Fort
Dodge. where men gathered from all
over the state, showed that he Is best
appreciated by those who know him
best. He has the .unbounded confidence
OF All his friends and neighbors. The
meeting at Fort Dodge also disclosed
the fact that N the fight Of next year
the new senator will have back Of him
almost the united northern half of the
:state. where the big republican major
tiles lie.
whtIA the senatorial fight will come
next year at the time Of the presiden-
tiai aieetion the state contest will also
be an interesting one It Is now re-
xarded, az certain that Lieutenant Gov
ernor George w. Clarke will be In the
lead for governor. altho there will be
others in the race.
