Man Roofing For Harding.
Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines. May Ex-senator Van
Law, of Marshall county, candidate for
lieutenant governor before the repub-
lican primaries of the state. caught the
insurance companies at work in sup
port OF Van Laws opponent, Harding,
in an amusing way while on a railway
journey out of this city this week. Van
Law was sitting in the seat OF the rail-
way coach reading newspaper when
an insurance man from Des MONIES
started to talk to the other men IN
the coach in favor of Harding. The
insurance man made quite speech
about the legislature spending its time
passing damn fool insurance laws
and he lauded Representative Harding
as being the only sensible man in The
house when it came to insurance mat
tiers.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1912-05-28

After the insurance man had gone
into a forward car Des Moines
lawyer noticed Van Law sitting across
the aisle and recognized him from his
posters. When the insurance man re-
turned the joke was too good TO keep.
so Van Law was introduced to the
insurance man and the argument was
then continued.
1t was Harding who sought to repeal
the Blanchard anti-com bine law and
the insurance interests Of the state are
very naturally roofing for his candi-
dacy for lieutenant governor.

CATHOLIC CLUB.

Trenton, N. j., Feb. l5.-Lambert-
vile defeated the Catholic Club ut
Parochial Hall in this city on Tues.
day evening of last week, by the
score of 30 to 81. With the excep-
ton of the crowds that attend the
Eastern League basketball games at
Masonic Temple, there has never
been such an OVERLOOKING mob at a
game in this city. Parochial Hall
was not large enough to accommodate
the hundreds of fans who turned out
to see the opening of the Tri-County
League schedule here. The Catholic
Club was in fine form, aud in the
first part of the game they secured a
good lead on the visitors, and for a
time looked az though they we're
going to win. But before the game
was very old, the Lambertville team
had settled down aud was gaining
rapidly on the local FIVE. and by the
end of the first half they had a slight
advantage in the score.
In the first part of the second half
the honors were about even. Toward
the latter part of the game, the visit
ing team was playing with such speed
that they almost swept the Catholic
Club off their feet, winning the game
by the score of 80 to 81. Harry Klein
and Skillman. did the greater part of
the scoring for the Lambertville team
and McQuade, Craig and Radice did
