Des Moines, May Ex-senator w. S.
Kenyon stopped over for an hour or so
in Des Moines yesterday. Nobody
knew Of his coming else there would
have been something of a demonstra-
ton, for Des Moines people have
formed a most excellent impression OF
the junior senator, and would be giad
of opportunity to draw nearer to him
Senator Kenyon was on his way to
Hull, Sioux county. where today he de-
livers the Memorial Day ora
ton. He has been to New Orleans with
his wife and is on his way back to
Washington. He has several dates for
Iowa speaking next month.
Senator Kenyon was at the state
house for a few minutes and called
upon various officials. He called upon
Attorney General Cosson for confer
ence in regard to various matters OF
enforcement of the laws and with re-
gard to the express rate cases and SIM
liar matters.
In regard to the prosecution OF the
beef trust Senator Kenyon stated "hhe
here that he expects TO give great
deal of attention to that subject the
coming few months. There will be little
at washington that will require his
continued presence there. He is pro-
sressive republican, which means that
he will act Independently and act rear
lesly in regard to great questions. ana
when the vote comes on the various
administration bills he can easily ar
range to be present.
Still in Trust Cases.
Senator Kenyon the day he was
elected stated to the writer that he
would tender his services to the gov
eminent to continue in the beef trust
case, tho it would be improper for him
to continue on the payroll as an at
torney while a senator. His tender to
the government was accepted with
great pleasure and he will be one OF the
lawyers to finish the great beef trust
case He states that there have been
a larger number Of prosecutions under
the antitrust act the past two years
than in the previous seven or eight
years In the opinion Of Senator Ken
yon the corporation tax law is a most
excellent thing not only for the $685.
900 900 revenue it produces but Tor the
fact that it places in the possession OF
the government vast amount of val
liable information as to the corpora
tons and what they are doing Senator
Kenyon believes the corporation Quee-
ton is the great question of the day
and II must be met with courage and
patriotism.
Cancels College Addresses.
Much to his regret, Senator Kenyon
has been compelled to cancel his en-
gaeements for commencement day adj
dresses at Grinnell and Coe Colleges in
Iowa.
This is on account Of the fact that
the resolution providing for the con-
stitutional amendment for the election
of United states senators by the people
will come up for consideration and
perahaps vote early in June. and 1t is
Senator Kenyon's intention to be pres
ent in the senate to participate in both.
That interferes with the engagements
which he had made before the senate
had fixed the time for the senatorial
resolution and therefore ne Is COM
PEELED to canoe! the dates.
