Republican Candidates for Governor.

Politics in Audubon county is beginn-
ing to warm up somewhat. Not great
deal OF action has been taken but con-
siderable talk has been going the
rounds.
As to the governship, it begins to
look as though G.. w. Clark of Abel was
going to have considerable following
in the county. Mr.. Clark is very able
gentleman and his record at the state
house is a matter of pride to many
Iowans. He has a number of friends
in this county who will give him sup
port. Our townsman, F. H. Adams is
personally acquainted with Mr.. Clark
and knows him to be man worthy of
the position to which he aspires.
AS presiding officer in thestate senate
last winter Mr.. Clark played no favor
ties. When an appointment was to be
made it was given to republican re-
CARELESS of faction. This was also true
when it came to distributing the chair
manships of the various committees.
Because of this fairness the republicans
feel quite friendly to Mr. Clark and we
would not be surprised if he carried
Audubon county by a good majority.
Then there is the Holden candidacy
He also has some followers in the coun-
ty. In conversation with prominent
farmer in the Kimballton neighborhood
recently we We're told that number in
that section of the county were friendly
to Prof. Holden. Neither one of the
candidates seem to have an organized
force at work and it may be left to the
friends of the candidates to carry on
the battle for them. However there is
plenty of time before the primary in
June and by that time number of
other candidates may be in the field.
AT the present time it looks very favor
able in Audubon county for Hon. G. W.
Clark, of Abel.

The discussion repudiates as thor
