BAD SPLIT in PARTY
Prohibitionists Having fractional Trouble
to Keep Pace With other Parties.

If not the largest primary to be held
Monday June 3rd, probably the most
spectacular will be that of the Prohibi-
ton party for 'sticker" gubernatorial
candidacy has been started. Members
of the Prohibition State Central Com
mittee have launced the candidacy of
Malcolm Smith of Cedar Rapids Not
having filed nomination papers the only
way in which he can be voted for is by
the voter writing i'll his name or putting
on one of the stickers, being sent out by
the advocates of his candidacy. The
movement is fight on c. Duraut Jones
of Perry, deposed member of the State
Central Committee, who is seeking that
party's nomination.
Another important development is in
the Republican primary with regard to
the Office of Railroad Commissioner.
Clifford Thorne, progressive, has openly
announced through the press that he will
not participate in the campaign and will
do nothing to oppose the nomination of
Chairman n. S. Ketchum, though he
has been frequently urged to participate.
To private individuals Mr.. Thorne has
given as his reason that he is satisfied
with the present organization of the
Board. This stamp of approval placed
upon Mr.. Ketchum by MIR. Thorne prac-
tically insures his denomination as it is
notice to the progressive interests MIR.
Thorne represents that the chairman of
the Board has been fair and is beyond
criticism.
Edward Chassell progressive, appears
to have the republican nomination for
Secretary of State in his pocket, The
opposition to him is divided and as he
enjoys an acquaintance and following
quite regardless of fractional lines he
will undoubtedly be high man in the
primary vote.
The governorship race will be closer
than many have expected, but that Geo.
Clarke at present has the advantage is
indicated by the fact that managers
of both his opponents are centering
their criticisms, many unfounded, upon
him.
The lieutenant governorship will go
to w. L. Harding of Sioux City, there
having developed no strength in opposi-
ton to him Geo. Cosson will be re-
nominated Attorney General without
opposition. w. c, Brown has no op-
position for Treasurer of State. Oppo-
sition to Auditor Bleakley is so scatter
ed and lacks any evidence of being for
midable at any point. He will be re-
nominated
The republican ticket will accordingly
this fall be far from fractional one as
it will have. candidates from both fac,
tons upon it. This will probably have
a strong tendancy toward uniication

one foot badly hurt when the scaffold
broke and he jumped distance of

unfortunate for Lou as it is his busy
season. He will be laid up for some
time and compelled to lose valuable time

Clark and Harding Here.

]mo asslg.s z - A~A s---- : -
Harding, of Sioux City, candidates re-
spectively for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor have both been in the city the
past week. MIR. Harding was in Audi
bon Friday evening meeting the voters
and becoming acquainted with the Re-
publicans. He found a number of
friends here who were looking after his
candidacy and he was greatly pleased
with the outlook. Mr.. Harding has
served in the general assembly of Iowa
two terms and during that time has
made good record
Gov. Clark was in the city Monday
evening and Tuesday morning Mr.
Clark was speaker of the house of repre-
sentative two terms and was lieutenant
governor two terms. He comes before
the people of Iowa at this time asking
for the nomination of Governor of the
state 1t is generally conceded that no
man in the state is better qualified to
fill that distinguished position than he
Mr.. Clark has been the fairest politician
Iowa has had in fifteen years. In the
assignment of committees in the senate
last winter he treated all republicans
alike. He has the hearty support OF the
Republic ms of the state. The Register
& Leader has been trying to make the
people believe that he was the liquor
interests candidate But that is a
falsehood. Mr.. Clark is absolutely a
clean man. Every politician in Iowa
will say to the credit of Mr. Clark that
no politician of corporation representa-
tive has any influence with him. He
does what he thinks is right. Such a
man is worthy to Till the office of Cover
nor of Iowa. People interested in clean
politics should make it point to vote
for G.. w Clark next Monday.

SENATOR KENYON IN AUDUBON
Over Two Hundred Hear Him at the Court
House EARLY Monday Morning.

Sen. w. S. Kenyon reached Audubon
over the Northwestern Monday morning
and was met at the depot by large
delegation. After a short trip over
town, he was taken to the court house
where he met large and enthusiastic
crowd. 1t was only $50 when he went
to the court room to speak, and the
room was comfortably filled. The
crowd was large for that time of day.
Senator Ames, of Traer was with Mr..
Kenyon and he made a short talk before
introducing Mr.. Kenyon. Sen. Kenyon
made good address and likewise a
good impression on our people, many OF
whom he had never met before. He
gave his hearers something to think
about He paid high tribute to the
old soldier and the services he rendered
to this country in time of peril.
The meeting Monday means a great
deal for Mr.. Kenyon who is candidate
for United States Senator. He is just
completing the unexpired term of the
late Senator Deliver. He is at this
time asking the Republicans of the
State of Iowa TO return him to the SEN
ate to carry out the splendid program
he has SO nobly started.
Sen Kenyon went from here to Kim
ballton by auto. He was followed by a
number of our citizens and farmers.
The procession was led by the Audubon
drum corps which furnished music in
Audubon as we'll as at kimballton, Elk
Horn and Extra. Kimballton and Elk
Horn turned out good sized crowds
before the noon hour.
The touring party reached Extra at
noon where dinner was had. Here Geo.
w. Clark was met and after dinner
Gov. Clark, Sen. Ames and Sen. Kenyon
addressed a good sized crowd in the
beautiful park in the center of the town.
From all indications Senator w. 5.
Kenyon is going to carry Audubon
county over his opponent LATE Young.
Many reasons could be advanced why
this should he true, but it is not neces.
sary to state them at this time. Our
people are quite familiar with conditions,
and The Republican has every reason
to believe that on next Monday large
majority of the Republicans of Audubon
county will cast their vote for W. S.
Kenyon for United States Senator.

Wants Parkings Freed
From Distractions

Commenting on the regulation prohib-
iting the use of the public parkings for
the display Of the family wash, Douglas
NJ. Starr, of 12O Randolph place north
west, suggests in q letter to the Com
missioners that they go step farther
by forbidding the obstruction Of the
parkings in any way. ..t .r.-.
Mr.. Starr directs attention to a pile
e bricks, tin, and other materials which
he declares has obstructed the parking
in Randolph street for the last twelve
years. The Commissioners referred the
letter to the Engineer Department with
the request that conditions of which
Mr.. Starr complains be Investigated.
