Mason City, March Louis Kress
has dropped out Of sight according to
inform alton received from Rudd, east

his wife attended a party. There was
nothing to occur which should have in
the least disturbed Kress. He seemed
to enjoy the evening with the rest.
About II o'clock he left the house and
walked home. The hired man heard
him come In. He changed his shoes,
drew on a pair Of overalls, and left.
The wife returned at II o'clock and not
finding her husband alarmed the
neighbors and they searched the night
for him without finding the least
traces Today the Waterloo blood
hounds were secured but they failed

came into his own home. From what
can be learned he lived pleasantly with

must come an amalgamation of In

the accomplishment of this purpose

Just the other day Frank @. Stuart
furnished to the official bull moose or
gan a. statement Withdrawing as a
candidate for United States senator of
that political party, and saying:
Il now retire from the race for
the reason-not that I may have OPP
posing candidates. not that wish the
field 20 myself, not that I doubt my
ability to hold my own in a primary
contest for the nomination, If I cared
to engage in it-but for the reason that
certain gentlemen holding responsible
positions in connection with the party
work in the state have recently
adopted and are at the present time
pursuing certain methods and policies
that are wholly at war with what l
conceive to be progressive principles;
methods and policies which to my
way Of thinking are destructive Of par
ty integrity. And regret to say that
the evidence appears to be conclusive
that the adoption Of these methods and
policies appears to be approved and
was perhaps instigated by the national
officers Of the party"
Mr.. Stuart is no novice IN the game,
but he is learning some things.
Incidentally, Mr.. Stuart was the only
eloquent Iowa orator who early in the
presidential campaign rendered his SER
vices to the progressive party national

states. Do you recall how many dates

ference for candidate to be brought

cious condescension to leave 1t to the
state committee rather to have 1t
settled in New York as to who should
be the candidate, the organization OF
so-called progressive service COM
mittee to steer political matters in
Iowa, and the final announcement that
new candidate must be secured. stu
art was invited to the January con-
ference and he spoke in terms strongly
denunciatory of trusts and combines
and in exposition of the danger from
special privilege" He did not at
tend the February conference, when 1t
was decided that some one else must
be secured as the candidate for sem
ator. The whole talk, as reported by
them, was for candidate not for SEN
ator to be elected, not for senator to
get all the votes possible, but for a
candidate against Cummins.' In his
speech at the January conference Stu
art never once turned from the dis
cussion Of principles to, abuse Cum

At the January conference, where O..
X. Davis, of New York City, was the
dominating factor, the following reso-
luton was adopted as part OF the
party platform for Iowa:
1--WE favor the control and complete
regulation of industrial combinations
engaged in interstate commerce by an
administrative board acting as the IN
terstate commerce commission now
deals with railroads"
There isn't a trust or combine IN
the country but that will indorse that
plank and support any party that
promises to put it into effect.
