Alabama for irrigation purposes. After
a careful inspection OF the engines he
purchased one for s245 and gave a
check on a Mobile bank In payment OF

Howell, Of Iowa City. Is the logical
man for the republicans to use against

Il appears there will b no opposition
to w. C. Brown, Of Clarion, who has
been. for more than year. Q candidate
for the nomination for treasurer Of
state to succeed w. w. Morrow, who
Is serving his third term. Mr.. Brown
has been casting about during recent
months and stated recently he hnds
sentiment to his liking wherever he
goes. Mr.. Morrow will leave 1.-The great
game" to the others, temporarily, at
least.
Opposition 70 1lsakiy.
John L. Bleakly has announced he Is
= candidate for a third term nomiria-
ton for auditor of state. Opposition
has appeared against Mr.. Bleakly in
the form of c. e. White, Of Des
Moines. Mr.. White has a wide ac-
quaintance with members Of the legal
profession all over the state thru his
connection with law publishing
house. He has covered" the state for
years and has an unusual acQuaint-
ance.
If there Is going to be any opposition
to the denomination for a second term
of George Cosson. attorney general, it
has not put its head above water up to
date. The general spoken attitude to-
ward the attorney general is he has
made a remarkable record as a prose-
cutor of law violations and as an arbi-
ter in disputes.
A. NJ. Deyoe undoubtedly will be
given the nomination for q second term
as superintendent Of public instruction.
His supporters say his efforts for bet
ter conditions in the rural schools Of
the state would win him denomination
against the strongest candidate that
might be advanced.
Chairman N. S. Ketchum, of the
state board OF railroad commissioners,
will find opposition to his return to the
ticket in Chris Ottosen, Of Humboldt.
who previously has been candidate
for the office. Ottosen made a great
race before.

TURNING THEIR EYES
 TOWARD ARKANSAS
Many Inquiries Being Received At Chamber of Commerce From
 Various States.

Mondays Chamber of Commerce mail was full of general inquiries, latters coming from Colorado, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Mis- souri, Michigan and Illinois. They all asked what can you raise and how $ the climate? The Michigan enthetically remarked "there is .wo feet of snow here right now" One was from young man in Missouri who has had especial experience in strawberry ra sing and fruits aud he wanted to for a time secure -1em- ployment on one of the farms until he got a line of things. Another was from a good farmer who wanted to raise corn. He said he could do that well enough where he was now, but the land was so high he never could get start. "Just as soon as the crops are laid by I am coming down to see," he remarked in closing. People from the north west and the irrigated sections are part cularly interesting in coun- try waere there is definite amount of moisture without the gamble of be ng on an irrigation right" From now on there will be TO trouble about activity in farm lands n Jefferson county as che interest has been aroused and as soon as dry weather comes the people will be here to look out for what they want. Stock raising is 4 matter which particularly appeals to the western and northern inquirers and more progress made along this line the better it will look to these people.

to the officers of State, .here is one race which should excite and enlist the enthusiastic support of every loyal citizen of Jefferson County, within whose breast there dwells any spark of patriotism or local pride. It IS unnecessary to say that we mean the candidacy of our fellow townsman, Col Sam M. Taylor, for Congress.
 Col. Taylor has made most ef- fective campaign of the district, ad dressing his fellow citizens at least five tines in every county, and has met with enthusiastic encourage ment everywhere. The campaign is now drawing to a close, and that his election is assured and that his ma jority will be very great seems to be disputed by no one, who $ well 1n- formed touching the Congressional trace. There are twelve counties ill the district. The most reliable re- ports from everywhere are that on- ly one county will be lost-that of Garland, the home of his opponent, and even in this county Col. Taylor will receive a most flattering vote.
 Col. Taylor's long residence in Pins Bluff renders him peculiarly fitted to represent the Sixth Con- gressional district. Within his own county and c'ty may be found every class of citizenship which Con- gressman from the Sixth district will represent. Jefferson County is typ ically an agricultural community, and accordingly Col. Taylor knows and appre c.ates the condition and need of the farmer His long ac- i quaintance with this class of constit- uency euuips him admirably to argue their welfare intelligently and force fully. In Pine Bluff, too, are located more industr al enterprises than in any other county in the district, and l this means, of course, that in Pine Bluff is congregated the largest rep resentation of the laboring class. we venture the assertion that there are more laboring men in Jefferson County than in the balance of the district combined. This citizenship is composed of Col. Taylor's ac- quaintances, clients, old friends and
