Entries For Political Race Closed.

Entries for the great Iowa political
race are closed and in the parlance of
the race course there is big field of
starters. BY coincidence the day select
ed by the state republican central com
mittee for the Cedar Rapids convention
(April 24) that named President Taft as
the republican pace maker in Iowa,
was the same day fixed by law as the
last for filing nomination papers with
the Secretary of State. Both Democrat
and Republican Office seekers have
turned over to the state official their
certified petitions containing names of
voters and to look at the great heap one
is forced to believe there must be there
the signature of every voter in
the state. One of the most remarkable
of all the petitions filed is that of Hon.
n S. Ketchum Chairman of the State
Board of Railroad Commissioners, who
is candidate to succeed himself. His
petition contained over $4,000 names
and every one of the Ninety
counties in the state was represented.
That the second republican state con-
vention will be more than a formal
affair for endorsement of the primary
results is promised by the fact that
there are a number of offices for which
there are three candidates seeking nomi
nation and consequently possibility
lin case of a close race of no one having
the necessary 35 per cent to nominate.
No less important Office than governor
is one of these. But the political lime
light is for the time being turned on the
forthcoming Democratic state conven-
ton at Burlington May IL when will be
determined the question OF lowa's pre-
sidential support. The Clark men are
planning to have thoroughly saturated
Clark atmosphere at Burlington and
have arranged for monster meeting
the night preceding the convention
with some of the best Clark speakers of
the country as orators. Upto Saturday
$40 of the 1892 delegates to the democra-
tic convention had been selected. Of
these 232 are instructed for Clark and
125 for Wilson. State Senator Jameson
in charge of the Clark campaign claims
with uninstructed delegates Clark has
4l4t and Wilson 21Oi with % doubtful
delegates.
Probably the most spectacular primary
contest will be for the republican en-
dorsement for United States Senator
being contested by Senator w. S. Ken
yon and Former Senator Lafayette
Young. The latter has for months been
making speaking campaign and Sena-
tor Kenyon from now on will devote
mostof, his time to his campaign in
Iowa. The action of the voters at the
primary is merely an expression of their
desires and is only morally binding on
members of the legislature to vote for
the man receiving the highest vote
that is providing republican legisla-
ture is elected in November.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, ID. C.-The bill intro
duced some time ago by Represents
tive II. n. Jocaway, providing that
the federal government take over the
Confederate cemetery at Little Rock,

and it will receive the same attention
as the Federal cemetery, which ad-
joins it.
When the bill came up, former
Speaker Cannon made a speech il
which he urged the house to pass the
bill. He said the war had been over
long enough for the people to forget.
and that he was in favor of obliterat-
ing everything which tended to re.
open the old controversies.

Springs, which were granted to the

Commerce Court provision in it. The
senate will determine early in the
week whether il will endorse the meas

overdue appropriation bill could be
disposed of in three days, We're the
