Decidedly Interesting.
The senatorial tight has become de-
cidedly interesting since the latest line.
IN. The caucus, conference and but
ton n.9,oling process Is well under way
all along the line. AS might be ex-
pected, however. the most active OF the
force OF workers is tho corps back OF
Judge Kenyon. Under the leadership
OF GeorKe Roberts they have taken
Rreat courage and are making q gal.
liant Aght to stay the tide which seem"
ln4ly had set In another direction. NO
body seems to be doing any work Tor
or in behalf Of Judge Deemer and tho
strength Of his candidacy Is hard to
understand.
"A first It was thought that the stand
nattars wore playing q deep game ana
wee. sinsincere. ThsFe was talk around
the corners that che plan svvas 1or the
standpatters TO help IN the election OF
Deemer to the senate. then after the
adjournment Of the Legislature that the
president would appoint Deemer 20 ne
federal bench and he would resign. 1ol-
lowing which Governor Carroll woulo
re-appoint Young. which he could 90
under such circumstances. Tnere were
so many clements OF dmprosaoii1ty IN
the story that It Is strange tnat any
one should have used 1t. yet 1T mas neen
used seriously. But the stanopa1tefs
who have gone to Deemer, at least the
most Of them, are In earnest ABOUT ~
ana sincerely desire his election.
- seesionai Issue Discussed.
~. sectional issue IS much discussed.
IN behalf of Fort Dodge 1t Is being
,,rred that the north part OF the state
I. entitled to the senatorship because
there 1. where the big republican ma
toritie. are to be found. and that II 10
nnfair TO permit the standpat1ers 10
n,ck A man who lives south OF the
Rock island railroad even II 1t shouio
be conceded he is a progressive. ms
argument Is going further than any
thing else to hold the Kenyon men TO-
gethef. .,
arc saving that they divide the stare
the wrong way, that it ought to DO oi-
y,ded east and west and II this Is done
shen each half Of the state VIII nave
a senator whether he lives IN Red Oak
or in Fort Dodge. 1t Is also po'hteo
ont that the Missouri slope. as ae "ere.
never yet had a senator. ana that
locality is to count It is hard TO see
why Fort Dodge should now demano
the senator. .r. ..o+ ..
heard in the corridors. The nist anu
,,o.t earnest candidacy was that OF
" " Ryers. which was followed by
That az Garst, Funk, FRANKIE. and Feely.
srhose who supported Garst. Funk and
Rvers especially were filled with the
idea that II the progressives had the
,,asn Ing Of the senator they should re-
vard eome one of the men who have
s,een especially distinguished by rea-
son OF their hard work, their sacri-
flces. their intense loyalty to the prfn-
ciples OF the progressive cause. But
the Byers men, the Funk men and the
Garst mon. have all shown wiling
ness to subordinate their personal pref.
erances for the good OF the party. They
have an voted for persons other than
their actual preference-hrst for Ken
Won and now for Deemer. They nave
proyed conclusively that when they
said that they were for harmony they
meant II. So. also. the Young men
have now shown not only & willingness
to subordinate their personal prefer
.Ance hut to, In q measure. yield what
they felt to be their convictions. They
have broken away from tho man who
was their idol and have taken can
didate a. different as the day fs from
the night. The only persons who have
not shown willingness 20 subordin-
ate personal preferences for party good
arc the Kenyon men.
Can Kenyon Win?
Altho there - unauestioned great
confidence on the part OF the Kenyon
COMMITTEES, tho basis for the same 1e
