Kennedy's Reasons.

Marshalltown Times Republican:
Professor Kennedy, animal husband
rist at Ames college, rounded up what
seems to be a pretty widespread con-
clusion when speaking of Professor
Holden's candidacy, he said:
MIR. Holden has great many good
qualities. He is remarkable man IN
many respects, but he Is not bust
ness man. He If not the man for
governor. The majority of the peo-
ple in Ames who know Holden like
him, but the majority of the people
in Ames would not vote for him for
governor
This fairly states the position of
most of those opposed to Professor
Holden. Nobody has anything against
the man. but great many agree with
Professor Kennedy that he is not the
man for governor of the state. There
is the difference between the sturdy
and competent business man and the
promoter to consider. Professor Hold
en- scarcely represeits sufficient solidi-
ty and executive judgment to please
the average Iowan.
There is real liking and much re-
spect over Iowa for Mr.. Holden.
Joined to these is a feeling that he
has been of great service to the agri-
cultural interests of the state through
his good seed propaganda and his out
cry against soil robbing. Along with
the general conclusion that he will be
most decisively defeated for the nomi-
nation is the feeling that he was Ill
advised by those who urged him out.
Most OF Holden's opposition il sorry
that he has been put in such posi-
ton. For there is very little nnfriend-
| Iy feeling toward him. In general
quite the contrary, but thore is a very
general sentiment that his candidacy
lacks solidity of appeal and that he
lacks qualification for the office not
wfthstanding that he is and has been
valuable in his field.
Professor Kennedy's reasons are the
general reasons why many Of those
Who like Holden and wish him we'll
refuse TO vote for him. They are SUI
/ ficient reasons Professor Holden
does not appear to measure UP to the
office he seeks.

the people of this country, as it ap-
pears to be doing, to the dangers
which are inherent in demagogy, and
results in the adoption OF measures
limiting by law the tenure of the
presidential office, then good will
come out of what is generally recog-
nized as one of the fragrant evils of
our political system. 1t ought not to
be necessary to protect the people
from themselves, but evidently it Is.
Theoretically the people are in no
danger OF being beguiled by political
craft and demagogy into voting them
selves into the hands OF bosses. Thee
retically the people every four years
merely hire chief servant, who shall
be at the head of all the other ser
wants employed to run the peoples
affairs They either renew the CON
tract for another four years, If the
service of the preceding quadrennium
has been satisfactory, or they exer-
else their indubitable option and hire
somebody else. theoretically there is
no room in our political system for
the servant to become the master and
dictate the terms of his contract, the
tenure Of his position and various
other details that theoretically apper-
tain solely to the supreme authority.
But practically the situation is not
nearly SO idyllic as this. In actual ex.
perience the people are misled by
demagogues and bosses. The charge
that they are so led is made every
four years. not only by two but by
three or four or five parties, and
while all OF these parties cannot be
right they cannot all be wrong.

small branches. This stunts the
growth of the affected branches.
Farmers, fruit-growers and nursery
men who expect to plant trees this
spring are warned of the dangers
which may be caused by the cicada.
Trees are especially liable to injury
when set near timber or on recently
cleared ground. Trees set in such
places should either be cut severely
back at the start, SO as to leave no
tempting twigs for the cicadas to de-
post In. or cut bae k little or not at
all until after the first of July, when
the locusts have disappeared. With
the latter treatment the cicadas may
deposit their eggs in the twigs which
can be cut off and burned.
The eggs in the twigs and branches
hatch and the young nymphs drop to
the ground and enter it for long
stay of another period Of seventeen
years.

CHAIRMAN BARNES GOOD AID
VICE,

William Barnes, Jr., chairman of the
New York Republican state committee,
is standpatter, all right, and believes
in holding fast to that which is good.
In public statement just issued he
says:
"The result in Ohio has possibly
added enough delegates to the Tai
column to insure his nomination, but
those Republicans whose purpose is
to prevent the Republican party being
used as an agency to subyert the
Democratic form Of government in
America and establish, through de
feating the voters, an autocracy In
its place, should relinquish no effort
in making it clear to those who do moi
comprehend what is going on to stand
fast in their allegiance.
"All questions relating to the com
ing campaign have sunk Into fnsig
nificance, compared to the preserva
ton of our form of government.
1T must be source of congratula
ton to the straight thinking people o.
the United States that but for a scat
tering few the voice of New York viii
be steadfast at Chicago.
II have no doubt when that conven
ton assemblies there will be delegates
there who have been favorable to the
nomination Of Mr.. Roosevelt before
they realized the real psychology o.
his candidacy, but will act as patriots
rather than servitors. The contes
will come between mental couragt
and physical cowardice."

sEvENTEEN-YEAR LocUsTs COM
ING

According to bulletin just issued
by the Iowa State college at AInes
number of southern and central Iowa
counties are threatened with vista
ton OF seventeen-year locusts this
year. The counties due to be afflict-
ed are Adair, Adams, Audubon, Boone,
Cass, Dallas, Davis, Decatur, Des
Moines, Greene, Hamilton, Henry,
Iowa, Jasper, Jefferson, Johnson.
Keokul1, Louisa, Madison, Mahaska,
Marion, Marshall, Monroe, Muscatine,
Polk, Poweshiek, Ringgold. Scott,
Story, Taylor, Union, Van Buren,,
Wapello, Warren, Wayne and Web
ster. These counties include the area
affected in 1878. In 1895, when the
locusts last appeared in this area, they
were less abundant and covered a
less extensive territory than they did
seventeen years before. It is possible
that the area this year will be stfH
less in extent, on account of the
small amount Of timber.
On the authority of the author OF
the bulletin, Prof. r.. L. Webster, the
locusts should appear about the last
week in May and remain for about a
month, disappearing about the first OF
July After having been in the soil
ever since 1895, the young locusts, or
nymphs, as they are called, will come
up near the surface this spring and
emerge from their long stay under
ground Some of the nymphs make
small earthen chambers or cones
which reach two or three inches
above the ground. but not all Of them

PREFERRED CANDIDATES.

1t is not possible for every voter to
acquaint himself personally with the
respective merits Of all the candidates
on the primary ballot and thus qualify
himself to make intelligent choice OF
party nominees. With view OF aid
ing him in the matter we print below
a list of preferred candidates. No Re
publican will make mistake in voting
for the following gentlemen for the
state and district offices opposite their
respective names:
Lafayette Young of Des Moines for
United States senator
Marsh w. Bailey Of Washington and
Frank p. Ciarkson Of Ida Grove (vote
for two) for presidential electors at
large.
George w. Clarke Of Abel for COVER
nor.
w. L. Harding Of Sioux City for lieu
tenant governor.
w. S. Allen OF Fairfield for secretary
of state.
John L. BIeakly OF Ida Grove for

! N. s.. ketchum OF Marshalltown for
railroad commissioner.
J. 8. Mckinney OF Fairfield for First
district presidential elector.
Charles A. Kennedy Of Montrose for
representative in congress, First dis
trict.
There are no opposing candidates
for the Offices OF state and district
presidential electors, but the names Of
the candidates are given in this lis1
for the purpose OF emphasizing the
necessity of voting for them. Simil
arly, there is only one candidate each
for the offices Of state treasurer. at

It was expected that the first round
of the fight between the officials OF
the Modern Woodmen and the insurg-
ing members would be fought out In
Des Moines this week in court on an
application for temporary restraining
order to prevent going into effect OF
the new rates. But by agreement the
matter has been put off until Septem-
Der when the merits Of the contro-
versy will be presented to local
court Both sides to the fight are pre-
