chairman of the Iowa state highway
commission. The dean has just re-
turned from a strenuous five days trip
thru Montgomery, Adams, Lucas,
Wayne and Wapello counties. 1t was
five days full Of conferences, road
meetings, official hearings and inspec-
tions.
The change in sentiment from open
hostility to the most decided enthus-
iasm for the law was the most notice
able feature Of the entire trip. Every

been opposed to the new system. open

In Montgomery county, gray
bearded patriarch who has spent near

to the dean and the board of super
visors while conference was on and
said, Gentlemen, I want to say to
you that in the short time you have
been working under the new law you
have done more and better work on
my road than has been done in forty
five years before" Until he had seen
these results he had been hostile to the

with but $3.50 insurance, yet how did
SO many men, who came, learn of the
fire?
Investigation disclosed that it was
the effective work of an efficient oper-
ator in. the lonely telephone office. at
Mondamin who heard the cry for help
and aroused the patrons of the ex-
change and the men responded to the
call, and they were unable to save the
barn and its contents because the fire
was discovered too late, vet they WERE
able to prevent the fire spreading.

screaming from her tiny summer
kitchen after her gasolene stove ex-

She was badly burned before the
neighbors could extinguish the fire or
rather, tear the half-charred clothing
from her body. Her face, head. arms,
and hands suffered most. Her hair,
eyebrows and eyelashes were burned
off. Neighbors rushed TO her aid and
saved her life-persumably, as sur

will die. The impromptu fire brigade
also extinguished the fire after 1t had
destroyed the little kitchen. John Reed,

Asked to Rule on Right to Defy
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, May 26.--To what ex-
tent can the laws of Iowa for the pro-
lection Of Iowa people be defied by re-
sort to the mail order system Of doing
business? That Is question which
has been up to state officials for sew
erat years and is not yet answered.
1t will be recalled that about a year
ago some publicity was given to con-
troversy over the effort Of the Medical
Defense Association, an Indiana con-
Germ, to get into Iowa TO do business.
The state auditor refused to recognize
1t as an insurance company because It's
methods were contrary to Iowa law.
The secretary of state refused to rec
ognize II as an Iowa corporation be-
cause the business proposed is in vio-
lation OF Iowa law.
Now the company insists on It's right
to do business regardless of Iowa law,
by completing all transactions by mail.
but it is not the first company that
has got under cover of the United
States mails to protect 1t from Iowa
laws and ena BILE it to get business that
would be otherwise illegal.
Now Henry Saverson, corporation
clerk, has put 1t UP to the attorney
general to decide whether or not doing
mail order business in Iowa by So
liciting Iowa business thru the mails.

panies will have to come under Iowa
laws or leave Iowa alone.

Resolutions Indorsing Law.
At the same meeting. John Fl. Petit
bone. Of Darlington. and j. f. Hughes
Of Mount Pleasant, chairmen of the
Des Moines and Henry county boards,
respectively, and both democrats, as
sisted in drawing up resolutions
strongly indorsing the law. In con-
versation Mr.. Hughes said that his
county was now buying steel at 2.S5
cents per pound for which they for
merly paid the same contractor 6 to
61a cents per pound. He attributed
the saving entirely to the competitive
bidding and safe guarding features un-
der the new law.
In Montgomery county the dean

REsoRTiNo TO TACTICS WHICH
INDICATE CERTAIN DEFEAT
IN ELECTION.
iANrl-cLARKE COMMITTEE
RESORTS TO "soILER PLATE"
I Vicious Attack Made on Governor
: and othsr state and County Officers
Anti. cummins Committee Buying
and Begging Space in Weak / and
subssrvisnt Newspapers.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. May 26.-The ''antis'' in
the campaign are showing signs of
desperation at the finish of the cam
paign. For the last week they are
resorting to some desperate schemes.
The character Of some of their CAM
paigning suggests abandonment of all
hope Of election even If successful and
a disposition to throw aside all fair
ness.
Yesterday there went out from one
Of the plate houses in this city several
hundred sets Of printers pilates" of
ready made campaign stuff. There
were two sets Of this matter.
The anti-Clarke committee sent out
a two column plate filled with the
meanest and most inexcusable things
that have been printed against the re-
publicans of Iowa and intended to con-
vey the impression that republican ad-
rninistration of Iowa affairs-in state
Offices, legislative offices, the courts,
county offices-has been almost on a
criminal bases. The whole matter,
as will sell their space for that pur-
pose, is designed to break down con-
fidence in all republican officials Of the
state.
Anti Cummins Plate.
The anti Cummins committee also is
purchasing space for plate matter in
sertion in newspapers. This does not
give word of the record Of Senator
Cummins' opponent but purports to
give something about the senator. It
is so grossly unfair that it will attract
little attention. There will be sent
along with this attack on Cummins a
boost for some of the other candidates
for state Office who are willing to pay
for space in the papers.
Neither the Lee committee nor the
Eavage committee has sought to give
any record of either one showing his
special fitness for leadership in state
and national affairs; but in each case.
the boost has been by means Of a knock
on the present incumbents Of the offices
both Lee and Savage are SO anxious to
ill.
The Lee people sent their letter in
regard to the arrangements for news
paper space for this plate service to
alumni Of the State College. 1t is ad-
dressed to them as alumni and they
are advised that as such they ought to
get back of the fight against Clarke.
Along with this is a threat that Clarke,
when nominated, will not be elected.
Judge Lee is president of the. alumni
association OF. the State College, AS
such he has complete mailing list
Of all the graduates of that school. Lett
eers have been sent to everyone of
them appealing to them to organize
committees and work against Clarke.
and with this are statements that are
Viciously false and misleading. A
good many Of the students of Ames
are refusing to be caught in this
way.
Both Of the anti committees are
spending money with lavish freedom.
Both have sent out agents and ennis
saries all over the state and are buying
newspaper space In quantities.
