Lieutenant Governor Clarke is in
the natural line of succession and
seems to have large support from
both factions. He is a progressive,
but acquitted himself so honorably as
speaker of the house, and later as
lieutenant governor, dealing fairly
and justly with both factions Of the
party, that naturally he has won a
strong personal support In his candi-
dacy for governor Mr.. Clarke appar-
entity is in the race as Republican
and not as factionalist, and be-
cause OF that fact, and his recognized
capabilities, he is likely to be the
nominee. And it seems to the Hawk
Eye that II he is nominated it will be
IA fortunate circumstance for the
party that its candidate will be one
acceptable to a very large proportion
of its voters and that the factional
troubles of the past will fade away.
That is surely something worth

CONGRESSMAN KENNEDY.

Among the candidates to be voted
for at the primary election next Mon
day is Hon. c. A. Kennedy to succeed
himself as representative in congress
from the First district Mr.. Kennedy
has made no formal campaign in his
own behalf nor have any of his friends
been campaigning for him. He has
heen content to remain in Washing
ton in the faithful discharge OF his
duties and let his character and rec
ord speak for him. So eloquent are
they that he is assured denomination
by an almost unanimous vote. There
should not have been an opposing
candidate in the field against him and
there would not have been but for
Colonel Brookhart of Washington
county who was the opposing candi
date two years ago. About the mid
die of April Mr.. Brookhart called a
coterie of so-called progressives to
meet with him in Burlington, at which
he insisted that a candidate be named
against Mr.. Kennedy. This was final
" agreed to, but none of those pres
ent was willing to make the race. Each
in turn declined, whereupon Mr. S. w
Neal of Washington, Iowa, who was
not present, was made the recipient
I OF the empty honor. Opinion is divid-
ed as to Colonel Brookhart's motive
in forcing an opposing candidate into
the field. Some think it was for the
purpose of holding the "progressives"
| in the First district together, but
there are not wanting those who are
persuaded in their own minds that his
purpose was to demonstrate conclus-
lively that no other progressive" in
the district could poll more votes
than he did when he was overwhelm-
ingly defeated at the primary in 1910
In any event it Is admitted on all
sides that Congressman Kennedy will

Neal was urged TO become the pro-
gressive candidate for congress in
order to hold together the progressive

AN ADMIRABLE ARRANGEMENT

Free entertainments are given to
rural communities in Pike county,
Ala, as part Of campaign to induce
the people to stay on the land instead
of abandoning their farms for city
life. This information has been re-
ceived by the United States Bureau
of Education from e. NJ. ShacRelforo,
Principal of the State Normal School
at Troy, Pike county, Ala, who Is at
the head of the movement. Mr..
Shackelford writes:
"In my opinion, the exodus of the
younger generation from the country
to the town is at present the most
serious menace to our general vel
fare. Good roads, motor cars, the teles
phone, and rural-mail delivery are
improving rural conditions greatly,
but rural social life does not yet af-
ford the opportunities for the COM
merce of ideas that an active, read
ing, thinking public demands. Hence
the tendency to congregate in the
centers of population, and hence this
effort of ours to afford a few social
opportunities through course of free
entertainments.
The entertainments given consist
mainly OF lectures, lantern shows
and selections upon the victrola.
Some of the lectures are given at
night, and some in the afternoon.
Occasionally dinner is furnished al
the school and an all-day session Is
held.
| While this movement was instituted
! by the Troy State Normal School, the
cooperation of the Alabama State
Health and Medical Departments and
/ the various state institutions has beer
enlisted for supplying speakers, en-
/ tertainment clubs, and other attrac
tions. Most of the entertainers give
/ their services without charge, and
| transportation Is furnished by owners
of automobiles. Friends of the new
movement anticipate that it will be q
powerful factor wherever introduced
in adding to theA pleasures of rura,
/ life by furnishing additional oppor.

Iowa retail grocers will henceforth
wage more vigorous fight against
the proposed parcels post than they
have hitherto done. At their conven-
ton at Clinton last week they effect
ed a complete reorganization, and
old officers who have long been in
charge will be supplanted by new men.
The grocers believe, not without cause.
that the parcels post system would be
immensely injurious to the retail
business in Iowa. The association will
also take a hand in the settlement of
the freight rate matters pending be-

In speaking of George W. Clarke in
connection with the Republican nom
nation for governor the Keosauqua
Republican thus tells why he is strong
with the rank and file of the party:
What makes Geo w. Clarke strong
with all who know him, in his candi-
dacy for governor. is that he meas
ures up to a high standard as public
official and has in him the best quail
tiles of manhood. We hope he will be
nominated for governor on the Repub.
lican ticket next Monday. If he is,
Iowa Republicans will never regret
that he was their choice

According to the report of the state
auditor just made public, as TO insur-
ance other than fire, the insurance
business has been quite profitable in
Iowa during the past year. The best
evidence of the steady increase CT
business is found in the fact that last
year these companies paid in fees to
Iowa, through the insurance depart
ment. over $1,000, as against $4,000
ten years ago, and that the aggregate
of taxes paid was s364,o00, as compar-
ed with s224,o00 ten years before.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Is the Des

newspapers? In scare editorial, dot

from the editorial columns of The
Keokuk Gate City, reliable spokes-
man for the regulars in the most re-
liable corner of the reservation" And
then, gasping with affected horror,
the Register and Leader stretches its
imagination and draws upon the
oredulity OF its readers by asking
the intelligent voters how it happens
that George w. Clarke is officially an
nounced as the candidate of the
standpatters for governor"

printed in the Hawk-Eye this morn

by the statement that No one sug-
gested any such list, and aside from
the writer of this article and the
printer who put it in type, no one
knew of the preparation of the list in
advance of its publication"
There is no 'well-defined movement
of standpatters' in Mr. Clarke's inter.
est that The Gate City knows of, and
the probabilities are it would have
heard something about it had there
been ANYTHING of the kind on foot.
