Iowa and the Presidency.

The Sioux City Journal has COM
piled an interesting history of Iowa
candidates. for the presidential NOM
ination. Judging thereby, the state
has small chance of landing the nom
ination, although it must be remem-
bered that II is easy to shatter prece-
dent, and also that the country is
coming to believe that it isn't neces-
sary for presidential nominee to
live in certain state or section. The
Journals statement is as follows:
Iowa has presented candidate
for president twice in a republican
national convention and once in a
democratic national convention. The
serious candidacy of Senator Allison
was in 1888. The convention was
held in Chicago. Eighteen candi-
dates were voted for, and 416 votes
were required for nomination. Al
lison's highest vote was on the fifth
ballot, when he received 80. 1t was
expected he would have generous
support from New England and New
ork. Chauncey Depew was the New
York candidate. Iowa was down as
Ia granger state, and for that reason
Allison was defeated. benjamin Har-
rison was nominated on the eighth
ballot. In 1896 Iowa democrats pre-
scented the name of Horace Boies
Fifteen candidates were voted for
and Mr.. Bryan was nominated on the
fifth ballot The largest vote foI
Governor Boies was on the fifth bal
lot when he received 100. Allison's
name was presented to the ST. Loui;
convention of 1896, in a group o.
six candidates. Mckinley was nom
mated on the first ballot. Allison'l
vote was 35 1-2."

Candidate For Congress.

The district papers are containing
statements to the effect that Senator
II. l.! Adams of West Union will be
a candidate for the republican nom-
ination for congress before the pri-
maries in June. AS yet We have
seen no announceemnt as coming
from Mr.. Adams himself, but if he
decides to get into the race he will
be a strong candidate He has been
recognized as one of the leaders in
the state senate the past two ses-
sions, is man of excellent appear
ance, splendid speaker, deep
thinker, and has many qualifications
for the position. In the east end of
the district especially he has many
friends who will be glad to see him
represent the district in congress.
Congressman Haugen has not made a
definite statement as to his candi-
dacy for reelection, but his friends
throughout the district take it for
granted that he will be.

Iowa druggists have a new club to
dodge In selling liquor on permits.
BY a ruling of the supreme court in
a Hardin county case the court lays
down the law that it is not enough
TO have inserted in the application
blank for liquor that the purchaser
wants 1t for medicinal" purposes
but he must specifically state what
kind of a medicine purpose is con-
templated. Not only that but the
applicant himself must write in the
wor~s and the druggist is not per-
mitted TO do so.

With a view to checking the emf
grafton of American farmers to Can
ada, the senate committee on public
lands has reported favorably a bill
introduced by Senator Borah, which
makes more liberal the terms of the
homestead laws. The period of en-
forced residence is reduced from five
to three years and the settler is al
lowed to absent himself as long as
six months in any one year while
perfecting his claim. The committee
also ordered report on bill which
will open to settlement the surface
of about 100000 acres of oil
lands in various parts of the west
and southwest
Continued interest in scientific ag-
riculture is indicated by the report
of the director of experiment stations
of the Department of Agriculture,
recently submitted to the secretary.
SiXty-two railroad instruction trains
operated during the past year cover
ed more than $4,000 miles and the
meetings held were attended by near
ly a million people. Movable schools
to the number Of 40 were held, with
an attendance of 10000, and farm
ers' Institutes, of which more than
900 sessions were held, brought
together nearly two million persons
to discuss agricultural questions.
Counting special Institutes, the at
tendance. was more than three mill

Representative Morgan, a republi-
can representative from Oklahoma,
has introduced in the house bill
providing for the creation of an in
terstate corporation commission of
seven members with jurisdiction ov-
er large industrial corporations SIM
liar to the authority exercised over
the railroads and other common car
riers by the interstate commerce
commission.
The democratic iron and steel
tariff bill has been reported to the
house by Chairman Underwood of
the ways and means committee with
a favorable recommendation. The
republican members of the commit
tee were given the right to file an
adverse report. The committee
adopted the bill by a strictly party
vote. The report says that the iron
and steel industry has reached a
position of such strength that it does
not need the helping hand of the
government, and the committee feels
warranted in recommending that the
duties on metals and manufactures
thereof be placed on distinctly
revenue basis.

delegates to the Republican county
convention, which is detailed else

l,O2S votes had been cast.
OF this number SCI has expressed
preferences for Roosevelt, 10 for
Taft, 46 for LaFollette and for
Cummins.
The Roosevelt clubs machine
slate delegates was elected in every
precinct
TIe result was precisely as pre-
dicted by The Sentinel. The old line
Republicans took but very little in
terest in the primaries At least,
1000 Republican voters in Mesa
county did not vote in the primaries.
Less than 80 per cent of the Re
publican party vote in the county
was recorded in the primaries.
The Roosevelt crowd was allowed
to have the primaries largely to
themselves, and as result the
Roosevelt club polled its full vote.
The primaries passed off peace
fully and there was no spirited fight
in any precinct.
