Third Torn.

| Des Moines May Ex-senator o. B
COPYRIGHT, Of Waterloo. is actually in
the race as a candidate for governor
He will try it out against Governor
Clarke next year regardless of conse-
| quences.
| Mr.. COPYRIGHT was in the city yes
| terday and talked to his friends about
the matter. He did not exactly pro-
| claim his intentions aloud that all
might know his mission, but he did
privately and confidentially talk about
! the situation and made 1t known that
! he wanted to be counted in the race
/ Mr.. COPYRIGHT was elected member
! of the senate some years ago when
Charles Mullan resigned to become at
attorney general. He was reelected
and was then succeeded by Senator
DeWolf Mr.. COPYRIGHT when elected
was counted a progressive but later
/ turned and one Of his achievem ents
was that Of talking to death the pri-
| mary bills which were introduced by
the progressives But he will have the
Third district back Of him solidly for he
is popular and a good mixer.
Carl Keuhnie has been feeling around
with view to also getting into the
race for governor. 1t was his intention,
at least, When he was a candidate for
the state senate to make the race for
governor next His plan was to 1T
out an automobile with sleeping ar
rangement and employ good chauffer
and start out on a tour of the state
taking months to the task. Mr.. Keuhnle
counts upon the solid standpat and ex-
IRENE factional support Of the state.
No other candidates have been dis
cussed here except the name OF Gov
ernor Carroll for third term. Some in
terest was aroused about two weeks
ago by a stirring call to arms In an
editorial in the Register and Leader
which plainly indicated a desire to find
some new candidate whose name had
not been discussed and who had no
record at all in public service. someone
who would be "a strong man" and who
would be a great leader. Apparently
nothing has come OF this suggestion
and names have appeared as filling the
bill. In the meantime Governor Clarke
Is getting most OF the compliments IN
the press and is rapidly gaining in
public favor.
Three good men from Guthrie coun-
ty met by chance in the lobby of the
Slavery house yesterday afternoon
They were John Foster, E. w. Weeks
! and Frank Hopkins. They were not
discussing politics but they conceded
in the view that Judge Green will get a
larger majority in proportion to the
vote in Guthrie county than Judge
got last year. The main question will
be that Of getting out the voters and
getting them to the polls. But in this
respect they believed the democrats
would have an ever harder time than
the republicans. They agreed that
there is no doubt whatever Of the sue
cess Of the republican ticket in the
Ninth district
Senator Adams of Fayette, attended
the meeting Of the Panama exposition
junketing commission yesterday and
was elected chairman. He was not en-
gagged in doing any work, SO far as
could be ascertained, in behalf Of his
boomlet for state office. and gave out
no indication that he intends to be
in the race.
The dispatches gave prominence to
| the fact that the raids on keokuk
gambling places were due to the ad-
vice of the attorney general What was
! done in the case of Keokuk, by the Of
fee Of attorney general, was the same
| thing that has been done in many
other cases in the state. Complaint
was made to the Office of attorney
general direct Of the failure to enforce
laws and he called for specific infor-
| nation on which to act, and as soon
as this was secured the matter was
laid before the proper officers. They
acted promptly, as they probably would
have done had the infornatio been
filed with them in the first place. A
great many such cases come to the at
tention of the state officials.
Governor Carroll is expected home
tomorrow from his little outing in the
Black Hills. He was lured to the high
point of the Dakotas by Will M. Mar
Wis. of Muscatine, who was on his way
there for rest, and the governor just
dropped everything and went. He had
had no rest for months, as the Musca-
tine trouble followed before he had
finished signing the bills of the leg1s-
\ lature.
The state board Of parole expects to
make to Governor Carroll a recon-
mendation the coming week in the
| matter Of the application for parole OF
Van Tassell, one Of the Hfers. whose
application for clemency made to the
legislature was never acted upon Ia
vorebly. The board has gone into the
Van Tassell case thoroughly, reviewing
all the evidence and securing vast
amount OF information as to the prob
abilities of the guilt of the prisoner. The
jmembers nave gone over this evidence
singly and together and the conclusions
Of the board will decide the matter.
A. B. McCown, bookkeeper Tor the
4 state board OF control and the state
institutions, Is one Of the most faithful
and hardest worked bookkeepers in

the board from the beginning and he
not only keeps the books but checks UT
the stores at the institutions each year
He gets $500 a year and Is the only
q bookkeeper in the state house getting
as much. but he earns It. For anstance
