Iowa Politics Boiling.
Des Moines.-Interest in the state.
wide primaries centers in the contest
between United States Senator w, S.
Kenyon and former Senator LaFay-
cite Young, with the situation even
more complex than it has been. Man
ayers of both the candidates were
equally insistent in their claims of vic
tory in the returns from the Republic
an voters of Iowa.
Leaders of both factions were agreed
that the real battle would come in
Des Moines and Polk county, and that
whoever won the majority here would
carry the state.
The Seventh district, in which Des
Moines and Polk county are located,
Ia said to be Cummins territory, and
the appearance of Senator Cummins
at a mass meeting here is counted
on by the Kenyon forces to give them
the majority in the district.
The Republican nomination for gov
ernor Is claimed by the three candi-
dates, George w. Clark, at present
lieutenant governor; Perry G.. Holden,
formerly of Ames Agricultural college,
and State Senator A. V. Proadnot of
l%nd1anola. Little interest is being
shown in the congressional situation
except in n or two districts, where
opposition has developed to the pres
ent incumbents who are seeking re.
nomination.
Democrats will make their choice
for governor between E. G. Dunn of
Mason City, and John T. Hamilton of
Cedar Rapids. Full state, county and
township tickets are to be named by
