Des Moines, May 24.-It would look
like Senator Jamison, manager for the
opposition to Clarke for governor. has
been caught in about as raw and in
excusable q piece of deception as the
faxed Gullickson letter worked off on
the public recently by the enemies Of
Clarke. Jamison undertook to fasten
on George Clarke the appellation Of
| railroad candidate" because, as he
says. a "Des Moines railroad press
bureau" has sent out plate matter
\ coupling up Clarke with Harding.
Ketchum and Bleakly Just why it
should have been deemed that mention
| OF Clarke in connection with these three
meant dead sure he was the railroad
candidate. is not explained. but that
was the inference
Now Senator McColl comes back with
fiat footed declaration that neither
himself nor Clarke or anyone for Clarke
or with the knowledge or consent OF
either one. has ever sent out any plate
matter of any kind or coupled up
Clarke with any other or undertaken
to make a slate of any kind, and they
will not do so. He also points out that
an accusation in regard to railroad
connection comes with very poor grace
! from Jamison. who during all the time
he was in the senate. was reputed to be
closer III the railroads than any other;
in fact, he was defeated for Judge in
southern Iowa two years ago just be-
cause Of his close association with the
railroads. Yet he alone Is managing
| the fight against Clarke.
! But here comes also other complica-
! tons to worry Jamison and make new
explanations necessary; for newspapers
are actually appearing now with plate
! matter for Lafe Young right along
side of plate matter boosting Holden
| for governor. evidently furnished from
| the same plate house as that which is
said by Jamison to proceed from the
"Des Moines railroad press bureau.
| From this 1t appears that one OF the
| candidates opposing Clarke expects to
profit by whatever is done by any
railroad bureau" and the other expects
to profit by whatever fambasting 1t can
get.
Governor Clarke has not INDUCED at
all in plate matter nor in coupling his
name up with others and this fact fs
, we'll known to all the newspapers mere.
| state educational interests are great
liz pleased over the results being
/ achieved in the matter Of giving in
struction in domestic science in the
,normaf departments Of the state aided
| high schools. and the credit therefore
! is given Miss Neal Knowles, head OF
the department. of domestic science at
the state college Anes. She prepared
the course of study for these normals
and it has worked out to entire salts
faction of every one The course has
attracted attention elsewhere and yes
.erday State Superintendent Deyoe re-
ceived letter from the head of the
domestic science department OF the
University Of Chicago declaring it to
sc the best course prepared.
SO
It is agreed on all hands that Sec
retary Sumner Of the state board OF
health did fine job Of putting one
over" the railroads in the matter of
the effect to get $1,000 for transport
ing Herman Hirschfeldt, the Center
vile leper, to Michigan. The automo-
bile way was easy and cheaper AS
matter of fact it develops that the chill
dren of the alleged victim Of leprosy
have arranged to purchase farm in
Michigan and keep him there. The
matter of transporting Hirschfeldt
rom Centerville to Bay City was car
led out under instructions from the
United States health service at Wash
ngtOn.
Clifford Thorne left last evening for
Kansas City where he will appear at a
rearing by a member Of the inter-
tate commerce commission on the
natter of the proposed abolition Of
mixed CARROTS of freight under the
Western classification. He will also
,ttend meetings at st. Paul and Chi
.ago. 1t is expected that at each of
.hese meetings the jcbbers will make
trenuous objection to the abolition Of
orce and also the adoption of addi-
.ional rules as to mixtures.
There will not be as many delegates
ntitled to seats in the republican state
invention July 10 as in the one Of
,st month. There will be 1925
delegates as against 1,4S1 at Cedar
:apids. These delegates will be state
officials holding office for two years,
and subject to recall at any time to
hold a state convention. The conven-
ton is likely. however, to be well at
ended because Of the fierce contest for
faces on the supreme bench.
