Des Moines, May 2S.-The campaign
for governor and senator has reached
the hysterical stage in Des Moines.
whatever may be its condition out in
"the provinces" First evidence of this
appeared when Ex-senator Jim" Jam
ison railroad attorney, assumed full
control of the opposition to Clarke and
commenced to fill his organ here full OF
poison. Then LATE Young, whose
father would like to be senator, got mad
and started out to catch fly votes with
vinegar and his papa called him down.
His apology was hysterical. Then
Harvey Ingham threw a fit, prodded by
Jamison, and is in the throes of agony
because the Keokuk Gate City. which
in recent years has not played politics
at all, refuses to stay hitched as Ing
ham and Jamson would like to have 1T.
In fact it is willing to permit Clarke.
even tho he is progressive. to be gov
ernor. whereupon Jamison and 1ngham
become historical la Young.
The progressive campaign
which has been carried on thru just
one daily paper of the state. has for SIX
months been trying to break up the pro-
gressives by advertising Governor
Clarke as a standpatter. This KIND OF
poison was doped out along the way
all last year and last winter ana So
far as known has not been swallowed
by single intelligent man In the state.
Arguments Amusing.
The latest historical and exasperated
argument is that because the keokuS
Gate City refuses to obey the command
of the coterie to either support Holden
Or Proudfoot, therefore and conclusive
" Clarke is a standpatter. The argu-
ment is amusing to the people here
and will not cause even a flutter. In
the meantime the campaign for Holden
is being pushed by paying for insertion
in eighty five newspapers of the state
of batch of plate matter" made up
in the same house and by the same
people as that which Janison has said
represents the work of his railroad
press bureau. One Of these plates has
the startling top head "Standpat for
Holden" another is headed Hunger
ford for Holden" and so on. And the
organ of anti progressiveness here
lines UP with the following in support
of Holden, while complaining that one
standpat paper is not for Holden or
Proudfoot:
Bernard Murphy, vinton Eagle.
Elmer johnson, Iowa City Citizen.
J. p. Gruwell. Maquoketa Excelsior.
]. B. Hungerford, Carroll Herald
Byron Mattison. Rockwell City Re-
publican.
Charles F. Chase. Atlantic News
Telegraph.
Alec Miller, Washington Democrat.
AL NJ. Adams. Humboldt 1ndepend-
ent.
The list might be extended to include
many other standpat organs that are
for Holden, and working shoulder to
shoulder with the Register and Leader.
Among those should also be included
the Twin Falls News which is enthusi-
astic.
Then there are the Funk Bros. mil
lionaires Of Illinois, and the represent
atives Of the sugar trust in Michigan,
also stockholders in the large mail
order houses.
Enlisted also in this cause is B. 5.
Walker, relic of the Cap. Hull dynasty,
G. A. Wells, of the elevator trust;
Robert Fullerton, of the lumber trust.
and F, NJ. Hubbell the railroad mag
nate.
