Des Moines, June 24.-The industry
Of starting candidates. for high office
is one which fourishes without the
protection of the high tariff and it is
not monopoly either.
The other day boom got started
for Col. D. J. Palmer for governor.
Now 1t is an open secret that some
years ago Colonel Palmer cherished an
ambition to be governor of Iowa and
seriously considered getting into the
race at the time Of the third nominal
ton Of Governor Cunlmins. But he
was called off and induced to stay out.
He was asked about this latest boom
which he had received
Nothing doing as far as I know"
he said laconically. II see it stated
that I received a big boost among the
veterans down at the reunion. Maybe
I did, but I was not aware Of the fact
and didn't see anything of 1t. I haven't
given the matter the slightest thought"
But it is a fact that politicians who
make business of getting into the
game early have been writing out from
Des Moines and seeking to find out If
this or that person can not be induced
to get into the game. A systematic
crusade is under way to get out big
batch Of candidates. to the end that
the fight next year shall be as exciting
as possible
Thus far the only certainties in the
case appear to be Lieutenant Governor
George Clarke, Ex-senator o. B. Court
right and Carl Keuhnle The latter has
arranged to have his interests taken
care Of here by the newspaper report
ers and he will be prepared to do a
fine line Of advertising upon his return
from Europe.
No other candidate, so far as known,
will make a tour of Europe as pre-
liminary to seeking the suffrages Of the
Iowa republicans. Governor Clarke
went as far as Seattle but did not VEN
ture farther.
A newspaper man who Is very close
to Governor Carroll has written that
in his opinion Carroll will be candi-
date against Clarke, but other we'll
informed persons here say that this
can not be and that he will never sub
NIT his name to the people again.
49,
The state Of Iowa has probably been
as neglectful Of it's dooryard and the
lawn about it's head Offices as any in
dividual of the state this year. The
grass about the state house at this
time looks like the groundwork for a
study in dull autumn colors. 1t is
brown and dead and large areas Of the
same look as if nothing could ever re-
vive the bluegrass. Not drop Of water
has been placed on the yard this sea-
son. What little shrubbery there is
about the building is dying. The state
pays about $4,000 a year to the Des
Moines Water Company for water for
use at the state house and 1t has
abundant help on the grounds about
the building; but the yard has been
permitted to burn up this year.
War upon adulterated or impure vim
egar Is one of the things laid out for
the state pure food department this
summer. Inspectors report that vast
quantities of low grade vinegar are
found on the market. 1t can be made
for cents gallon or less, from which
it will be seen that the profit In hand
ling the poor stuff is great. The state
laboratory is busy investigating
samples seized
Dr. ]. l. Gibson, state veterinarian,
who recently visited Taylor county in
company with DR.. A. D. Melvin. chief
Of the United States bureau Of animal
industry, in regard to the outbreak of
dourine among the horses, anticipates
that no great trouble will come from
the discovery Of case there. 1t is a
very rare disease and has not caused
much trouble in recent years A SOL
itary case was found before there was
any opportunity for a spread and a
