IOWA EDITORS
ARE FOR TAFT
POLL TAKEN BY DEs MONIES
PAPER INDICATES DESIRE FOR
PRESIDENTS REELECTION

Des Moines, Sept, 20.-Results OF
the Des Moines Daily Capitals poll
of the Iowa editors has been published.
OF the number voting, 175 favored the
reelection of President Taft, and
|ninety-five wished Senator LaFollette
elected president Every Iowa editor
was asked to record his sentiments
with regard to the presidency. More
than two hundred responded
President Taft received almost the
solid support of the straight republi-
can press of the state. LaFollette
drew the greater part Of his strength
from the Independent press. The fol
lowing comparison shows the strength
of the two with the Independent and
straight republican and Independent
republican editors Of the state:
&c. Taft LaFollette.
Republicans ........., LAB b3
Independents ....,.. II 81
The editors were asked to merely
express their preference as between
Taft and LaFolltte. This was to de.
termine the strength, Of the president
and the Wisconsin senator. However.
Justice Charles r. Hughes. former
governor of New York, received two
votes; Lafayette Young, forms4yn yntted
States senator, got two yotes, and Sen
ator "a. B. Cummins received tWdyotes.
Fifteen editors, thirteen Of whom are
republicans, one independent, and one
Independent republican, EXPRESSED
themselves as opposed to both Ia Il ssand
LaFollette and did 4 not expreSsA q
choice.
One significant result of the poll is
that larger ratio Of republican week
'ly papers gave their support to Taft
than to LaFollette. The assumption
is that these papers are in closer
touch with their communities than the
'dailies and know better the sentiment
Of their readers.
The poll indicates that President
Taft will receive the support Of the
Iowa delegation in the national repu-
bAcan convention next year.

Business High School
Positions Go Begging

The high school board Of examiners
failed today in their effort to obtain a
list Of candidates from which to choose
teachers at Business High School.
But one applicant appeared to take
the examination, and If he passes he
will be given a position Immediately as
teacher of bookkeeping to succeed
Henry w. White, who resigned to go to
East Aurora, n. Y, and join the Elbert
Hubbard coloney there.
The difficulty In getting applicants for
the positions at Business High School
results from a peculiar provision of the
law making 1t necessary for appointees
to have a college degree or a law de-
gree A certificate from a business
school does not count among the quail
fications demanded. The small salary at
which the teacher must start, $3.50
yearly, also is a drawback.

IN buying these homes There
is just one difference from paying
rent. Every cent of rent you pay
goes into the landlords pocket.
1t buys you nothing but the privi-

Put your $3.50 rent money
into one of these houses and you
are paying off the indebtedness
on a home that is already your
own.
