MAKE FRANK AND TRUTH.
Full STATEMENTS.
VOTERS WHO UNDERSTAND
ARE SOLID FOR CLARKE
Many Fail to Grasp Facts in connee.
ton With Tax controvsrsy-Governor
Not Seeking to Shift Responsibility
Where Duty Was Put Up to Him
Critics Are Unfair.

Des Moines, May Ex-Governor
George w. Clarke alone Of all candi-
dates in the field this year has gone
directly to the people with a plain,
frank, truthful statement of facts, and
invited and urged. Judgment upon the
facts as they are not upon misinfor-
nation and prejudice. He has spoken
to probably seventy five or eighty
crowds of average Iowans, mostly in
the small towns and county seats. in
Guiding good many day meetings to
which farmers ere especially invited.
Whenever and wherever the people
have become informed fully and clearly
in regard to the matters involved in
recent discussion they are practically
unanimous in support of Governor
Clarke.
The speeches Of the governor have
not been mere talks: he has discussed
in detail and completely each and every
phase Of the complicated problem of
taxation. He has invited all manner
of questions He has put it squarely
up to his auditors to say whether he
has done anything he should not have
done or omitted anything proper. He
has gone right to the places where the
densest ignorance has prevailed as to
the rights and duties of state officials
in the matter of equalizing. assessing
and computing levies. He has faced
audiences which have included men so
stepped in prejudice. backed by mis-
conception of the facts that they would
not even speak 10 him. and has had
the pleasure of having men Of that
type come to him afterwards and adj
NIT they are convinced of the error of
their ways.
Public Fails to Understands
II am absolutely convinced" said the
governor yesterday, that if the voters
of the state only knew and understood
the facts regarding the whole mat
ter of capitol extension and taxation,
all would be we'll. The real trouble
is that very few men really understand
how assessments are made. what the
law requires and what are the duties of
state officials; and when they find
that they are paying more taxes than
they think they should. and they are
filled with startling stories about CAPT
toll extension, and politicians go about
i, to arouse their prejudices, they jump
at the conclusion that of course the
governor is responsible for everything
When the falsehoods are swept away
these people invariably agree that the
governor is not and should not be held
responsible.
"The truth is, OF course, that we are
undergoing an adjustment in accord
ance with law to correct the errors and
supply the omissions of the past If
assessments and adjustment and
equalization and tax levies had been
made in the past just as the la posi-
lively requires an they should have
been made to secure equality. there
would have been. no material change
this year.
Not Shifting Blame.

out the line from Harrington to Vernon,
it is rumored, will extend it to Maple
Grove Schoolhouse and thence to Browns
vile, a distance of a mile and a-hal +
northeast. If they would connect with

were on opposite sides of a small thicket,
when Hatfield saw a rabbit. He quickly

/ heard the cries of pain from his compan-
/ ion did he know the result. The injured
man was brought to Seaford, and Dr. H.
NJ. Manning picked the shot out where
it was possible While his injuries are
painful they are not considered serious.
With a crash that could be heard a
square away, the plastering on the cell

stepped across the room in time to escape

Cruiser Makes Fourth WaTShlp
Destroyed in Battle
DRESDEN NOT ACCOUNTED FOR
Loss of Germans Is Placed at 1000
Men, including Admiral Won Spec.
Fight Lasted Five Hours.

The Official press bureau in Lon
don has announced that the German
cruiser Nurnberg, one of the warships
which escaped from the English in
the engagement of Dec. s, OF the
Falkland Islands, in the South Allan
tic, has been sunk.
The text of the official bureau state
ment reads:
"A further telegram has been re-
ceived from Vice Admiral Sir Fred
erick sturdee, reporting that the
Nurnberg was also sunk on Dec. 8,
and that the search for the Dresden
is still proceeding
THE action lasted for five hours,
with intervals. The Scharnhorst sank
after three hours, and the Gneisenau
two hours later. The enemy's light
cruisers scattered and were chased by
our cruisers ana light cruisers. No
loss OF any British vessel is report
ed"
This news, coming so soon after
the announcement that the British
squadron under Admiral Sturdee had
sunk the battle cruisers Scharnhorst
and Gneisenau and the light cruiser
Leipzig, commanded by Admiral
Count Won Spec, has created the ut
most enthusiasm.
The official announcement shows, !
however, that the German craft, which |
had a speed OF twenty-three knots,
was overtaken before proceeding far
from the scene Of the fight
The Nurnberg was a ship of 1896 |
tons, 32S feet in length and SO feet |
beam, with draught of Is feet. She
was launched at Kiel in 1908. Her
armament consisted of ten 4.1-inch
guns, eight 2.1-inch guns and four ma
chine guns, and she was equipped
With two torpedo tubes.
She carried a complement of 322
nen. As the Scharnhorst and the
3neisenau carried 765 men each and
he Leipzig 2S6 men, it is estimated
hat the loss to the German fleet re-
ulting from this latest big sea en-
,agement will total close to 1000 men.
Among the lost, it is believed, is
admiral Won Spec, who was on the

Dynamite Kills 1s In Mine Shaft.
Thirteen miners while going to

aware, Lackawanna & Western Coal
company at Scranton, Pa, met hor-
rible death, the. carriage on which
they were descending the shaft being
blown to pieces by the dropping of a
box of dynamite by one of the men.
Their mangled bodies have been re-
covered from the sump into which
they fell, 100 feet below the point
where the explosion occurred, but so
Car only five have been identified.
One man escaped alive. He is Mar
tin Belinski. a driver boss, who was
hurled into the Clark vein, which the
carriage was passing when the explo-
sion occurred, and where he was
found by rescuers attracted by his
means. His injuries are slight, but he
appears to be like one crazed by the
shock.
