Two Carloads of Fish Here.

The editor received a letter yes
terday from state fish and game
warden George A. Lincoln, as the
result of correspondence through the
summer, that he would bring the
Iowa fish commission car to De-
corah next Tuesday, filled with black
bass, rock bass, crappies, pike and
pickerel for the Upper Iowa river.
The fish will be deposited in the river
and will aid greatly in keeping up
the good fishing we have had this
season and last, which is undoubt-
eddy the result of the stocking of
the river two years ago in the same
manner.
The matter of trout fry for the
streams has also been given atten-
ton, and yesterday three thousand
trout fry arrived, secured through the
efforts of c. n. Houck, r. II. Tracy
and Fl. Schjeldahl, and they were
taken out 10 the various trout
streams Of the county
With these two cars of fish and the
proper protection of the waters OF
the county, fishing ought 10 be fine
in the future.

Washington, d. c.. March 30
Especial. Only Woodrow Wilson
among the democratic aspirants for
the presidency has endorsed the pres
idential preference primary. AS yet
neither Speaker Clark, Governor Har-
mon, Chairman Underwood, or any
of the others except Governor Wilson
has suggested that the nomination be
left to the will of the democratic vot-
ers. The challenge Issued by Mr.. W.
f. McCombs of the Wilson campaign
managers for a presidential primary
has not been taken up by any of Will
sons opponents. Neither Clark nor
Harmon nor Underwood Is on record
in favor of the election and instruc-
ton of delegates TO the national con-
vention by vote Of the patty voters.
On the other hand, Governor Will
son is plain spoken in advocacy of the
presidential primary He believes In
the direct primary as the cure for the
evils of bossism and machine politics
and he believes that 1t should govern
the nomination OF all candidates for
office from president down to con-

as a sure means to get the nomination,
Is proved by the fact that 1t was a
feature OF the first legislative fight
Governor Wilson undertook after he
became governor of New Jersey. Since
Governor Wilson is the only demo-
cratic candidate who is a candidate
in every state OF the union. and since
he Is opposed by field that has di-
vided the states in sections and are
allied against him. his friends natur-
ally believe that primary would
nominate him. His enemies believe
the same thing. that is why they are
not for the primary. and that is why
no reply has been received to the Nc
Combs challenge.
But no such motive of expediency
can be assigned as explaining Gov
ernor wilson's attitude. When he
was elected governor and the legisla-
ture convened, his first fight was to
persuade the legislature to respect
the will of the party voters who had
nominated James +. MARITIME for SEN
ator in a direct primary. James
Smith, Jr., the old-time boss whom
President Cleveland had connected
with the perfidy and dishonor of the
emasculation of the Wilson tariff bill
wanted to set aside the primary ant
come back to the senate. Governor
Wilson stood for the primary ant
won
The next thing he did was to get {
bill introduced to change the election
laws and to provide for direct pri
maries for every officer from presi
dent down to constable. The ma
chine leaders told him they wouldn'
let it pass. and a democratic confer
ence was called to vote the bill dowr
The bosses had the votes to do it, toe
That is, they had them when the con
| ference was called.
| Governor Wilson got himself In
vited to the conference. He made
three-hour speech in favor of the di
rect primary bill. When he had fin
