TWO FOOLS AND A FARMER.
EIowa City Republican,

Yesterday a couple Of students met
farmer on Clinton street. One called
out. Hello, joe and the other in a
more leering. insulting manner, re-
marked, Hello. Charlie. how did you
find the way to town." The farmer
was dressed as is the custom OF the
men Of respectable, God fearing.
law abiding people, of whom there are
about 500 families near this city. This
young farmer has beautiful farm,
iine horses, d comfortable home with
modern convenences, and he drives
family carriage. He is q taxpayer and
he pays taxes to help sustain great
educational institution and to help edu-
cate students who have the brains to
be educated. something these two fell
lows evidently lack. Of the more than
1900 young men in the university,
there probably are not half dozen

fellows did

Hon George w. Clarke is conducting
an admirable campaign for the COVER
norGhip. He is abusing nobody. treat
ing his opponents in a generous and
dignitied way. and soliciting support as
republican who places party above
faction. He is growing in strength
daily. That he will be nominated at
the June primaries is now conceded.
His nomination will not be followed by
bitterness or revolt He. more than
any other man mentioned. can secure
the united support Of his party. The
candidacy Of Professor Holden is not
making Roadway The farmers of the
state admire Mr.. Holden for the work
he has done in agricultural circles. but
they feel that he has not had the bust
ness training and legislative expert
ence necessary to the successful con-
duct of a great Office like the COVER
They feel that ne can be more
useful To the state in MS present posi-
ton This seems to he the sentiment

scientious man. who is remarkably wei!
