HOLDEN'S PATH
MOT VERY Smooth
Son. things q. may q. a.'s to Exl!..la to
the Voters Before They will Give
Him Their Support for CeveFner

The following is written by Grad
DOCK" one of the best posted politi-
clans in the state of Iowa and was
printed in last weeks issue of the
Adair News:
There will have to be show down
in this Holden matter. A good many
who have felt for some time that Mr..
Holden was assuming things that
were not true, that he was establish
ing reputation on false things, and
yet they have refrained from say
ing anything because they disliked
what might be termed personalities
in politics. Holden was interested
In company holding a patent on "a
seed corn tester and it was intended
to be called after him and he was
expected to work the farmers into
buying it. When the stock was sold
around II was stated to buyers that
Holden was back of it and that II
would have great sale because he
would tell the farmers to buy it.
In the Idaho land deal there was a
plea made that Holden knew farm
ing better than anybody, knew the
best place to go and his company
expected to sell the land in this par
ticular tract because Holden would
boom lie. There hSs been one COM
pany after another put out with the
expectation that Holden wonm get
the farmers to bite. In two Of those
companies Ed Meredith, Of Success
full Farming, had large interest and
he used Holden to help float them.
OF course now he is boosting Holden
for all there is IN it. There has been
an assumption that the farmers
would buy musty cheese If only
Holden told them to do so, but they
didn't and they are not now fiocking
very fast to his standard in the mat
ter of the governorship. The farm
ers are doing their own thinking
and will do their own voting. Hold
en- will have to come to a show down,
there Is no chance of escape. Just
TO think CT Geo. w. Clarke working
some interest in that way. He goes
along modestly expecting people 20
take him for what he is really worth
and is not trying to create a false inn
preston as to his value to the farm
er, the laborer or the business man.
He is candidate only on his merit
as man and as one who has had
much experience and who dearly
loves his native state. And what an
excellent governor he will make II
nominated and elected, which ! full
ly believe will be the resuit?''

4 gates OF death. Four weeks ago he
underwent an abdominal surgical OPP
erati0n for stoppage of the intestines.
Mr.. OveSholtxer SO far recovered from
that operation that he was taken
home and thought to be on the road
TO his old-time health. Suddenly his
former distress appeared and in day,
or two was decided that another
operation was necessary to save life.
Then a part Of the intestines was re-
moved And the severed ends joined.
1t was very serious operation
Early this week the condition of the
patient once more became SO critical
that at consultation of physicians
it was decided that one of the most
critical operations known in surgery
was imperative. This operation con-
sisted in removing the whole intes-
final system and searching for the
hidden cause of the trouble in Mr..
sOverholtzer's case.
In course OF this operation
1t was found that cancer
Gus condition existed in the intestines
and the case was known to be prac-
tically fatal from the very nature,
while the operation itself was sue
