Des Moines. June 20.-Iowa republic
cans who have made study OF the
primary election figures do not feel
discourse ed over the situation, from
party standpoint, and express the pc
lief that their party will continue to
have the confidence of the people OF
the state. Final figures as computed
this week are interesting.
It is true that only 1885 votes
were cast for head of the ticket In the
primary, which is a light vote. 1t Is
also true that the democrats by casting
1885 votes for head of their ticket,
made a high water mark for their
party in a primary.
On the vote. however. for the repub-
lican candidate for head OF the ticket
Clarke got s6141, Lee S7,192, Rowley
1858. This means that Clarke got OF
the vote 50 per cent, Lee 26 per cent
and Rowley IS per cent, each with
fraction over.
But two years ago, Clarke only got
40 per cent of the vote cast. while
Holden got IS per cent and Proudfoot
IL per cent. So, while Rowley was
slightly better as a candidate than
Proudfoot the AmeS candidates of
two years ago We're vastly better than
the Ames candidate of this year.
Now. four years ago, on seeking re-
election for second term Govorenor
Carroll was able to muster only 81 per
cent of the republican vote that went
TO the polls, his opponent getting 40
per cent. This year Governor Clarke,
under exactly similar conditions, save
that he had two candidates agains.
him instead OF one. was able to COM
mand 60 per cent of the vote, his OPP
ponents only SO per cent.
Following the campaign of four
years ago, when the governor seeking
recollection got only 81 per cent of the
cast, he received at the election as

On the other hand the democrats.
from their standpoint. are quite AZ able
to extract comfort out Of their vote of
this year when It 10 compared with
the votes Of other years. In the past
1t has been demonstrated that in the
democratic party, Just the same as in
the republican,, sharp primary con-
test may not mean the carrying over
Of troubles into the fall. And the
democrats made a remarkable gain IN
the aggregate of votes cast for the
head Of the ticket in Iowa this year.
The aggregate democratic vote was
.s36, as against $3.50 two years ago
and 47,549 four years ago. In the
campaign which followed the primary
Of four years ago, there having been
triangular contest between Porter.
Moon and Bashor, the democratic vote
was boosted in November to four times
its size in June, or to 1888. Two
years ago after Dunn and Hamilton
had scrapped It out, the democratic
vote went up to a little more than
three times the June figures, or to
1S2.447. Notwithstanding 1t was
presidential year the vote for head OF
the state ticket did not come up to
the vote of che previous Off year. This
year the democratic vote will be much
larger in November than in June. How
much larger is the problem OF tho
year from a democratic standpoint.
a study Of the figures seems to in
dictate that the breakup Of two years
ago affected the democrats nearly as
much as the republicans. The bull
moose influence this year Is negligible.
All speculation as to what will hap
pen in the republican state conven-
ton is pure guess work, as it relates
to the auditor of state. II one should
gather up the rumors and shake them

BANKERS DENY CHARGES,
Say They Did Not Profit Greatly From
Nicaraguan Bond Deals.

Washington, June ia telegram
from Brown Brothers and Seligman &
Co.. New York bankers, read in the
senate today on presentation by Sena-
tor o. Gorman and denying they had
profited excessively by Nicaraguan
bond issues, brought out a demand
from Senator Ninth, Of Michigan. that
the bond issues be investigated.
The telegram declared Senator
Smiths resolution charging the bank
ers with large profits was incorrect
and baseless accusation.
After stating that ne had thorough
ly investigated the Nicaraguan bond
issues before he introduced his resoIu-
ton, Senator Smith said:
''On my responsibility to the coun-
try as an American senator, allege
that the Indebtedness now sought to be
validated and imposed on the republic
of Nicaragua, is in the main fraud
ulent and ought not to receive the ap-
prevail of the senate"

Lansing Callan.
The distance from st. Johns. N F., to
the islands is 1,199 miles, and Lieuten-

story ran--"Knisely Says He Will Go to the Cubs
 And to cap the climax this sporting editor, who was evidently so high in the air that the office boy was necessarily called again to his assistance. wrote in his private column above which as an artistic decoration he prints his name, as follows:
 'Iirmine ham fans rejoicing
 over the fact that Pete I<niscly will
 he with them the rest of the senson."
 Such an example of a sporting editor in panic was never before presented. On one page he declared that one ball player Knisely, would jump to the Fed erals; that he would play with the Chi cago Cubs and that he would finish the season in Birmingham.
 And in the meantime. the story of The Age-Herald. which was carried exclu- sively Sunday was in course Of verifca- tion. The story stated that Knisely was entertaining a proposition from the Fed eral league scout, and that If satisfac- tory terms were made, he would jump. Monday morning, terms were agreed upon. The scout paid Knisely $500 knise- ly but for the appearance on the scene of the president of the Chicago Cubs. would have jumped last night. Is there any doubt of that fact? Then why did Birmingham permit him to go to the
 
 the season? It is not to be supposed thai Birmingham wanted to lose Knisely. It is not to be supposed that the association would risk the ire of the fans by permit ting Knisely to go had it been possible to hold him. No, The Birmingham club knew that unless Knisely was permitted to report immediately to the Cubs, he would jump to the Federals. And had Knsey jumped to the Federals, Birmlng- nam would have lost the price which was placed on his head, namely, $2500
 Tn 1t all. there Is a moral. One base ball writer cannot cover up his ineffici- ency by attempting to decry that which another baseball writer has accomplished. It Is hard to take the medicine some time, but the man who does it with good grace always receives the plaudits of the people. And the man who doesn't be- comes a laughing stock even with those who employ him.
 And in 1t all. there is another evidence that if you want the news-baseball news and all other news-you have got to read The Age-Herald. R. A. l..

Lack of Industry Cannot Covered Up By Decryng What Competitor Has Accomplished-Wild Rumors of Knise-
 ly Remaining in Birmingham Quieted

In editing a baseball page, the sport Ing editor of the Birmingham News might be bear But in getting the news, he's a joke.
 Sunday morning, The Age-Herald ear- ried story to the effect that Mique Finn had signed several yannigans with whom to upbolster his Memphis team. Sunday morning, The Age-Herald carried a story to the effect that First Baseman Coving- ton had been signed by St. Louis. Sun day morning, The Age-Herald carried a story to the effect that two Federal league scouts were in Birmingham. Joyce and an uknown, that an outlaw agent was dieker- ing with Pete Knisely-that furthermore, Knisely was preparing to jump to the Federal league.
 Through 1t all, the sporting editor of the Birmingham News slept. Monday morning. in hope of covering up his lack of industry by decryng that which his competitor had accomplished, he sat at his typewriter in a most facetious mood And as a result in the noon edition of his sparkling page. he printed an Inter- view with Pete Knsely, an interview in which he quoted Pete as having said that it was "all a kid He quoted Pete as having said that "he had put it over a young newspaper man. and that the en- tire matter was practical joke" He even went to the extreme of quoting Pete as having said that he had not even dreamed that a Federal scout was in Bir- mingham.
 The noon edition appeared. But even as the sporting editor of the Birmingham News was laughing in his sleeve Fed eral scout was passing over to Knisely the sum of $500. The chagrin of this smooth baseball interpreter was painful when the office boy walked in and broke the news. A terrible scene followed. He tore his baseball page all to pieces, but he did not tear effectively As a result. it was in a terrible tumble when the last edition appeared again. Over the top ran this line--"Knisely Gets $500 From the Chifeds." Above a cut of knisely ran this line, twill Play With the Cubs" The headline over double column story ran ''Knisely Will Go to the Chifeds." The headline over yet another double column

President Thomas asserted last night at the Tutwiler "He is certainly a fine hitter and is just the man we need. will recommend that Manager O'Day put him in the game Thursday against Philadelphia I believe that we will give any club a battle with Knisely in the game.
 Ut cost us lot Of money to get him. We will give him 5000 year for three years. However Knisely did not get a bonus of 5000 for signing a contract. We had the best repors in the world about him, and ODay thinks he will fill in fine. He may be placed in cleanup position"
 PE9sident Thomas was elated over his victory over the agents of the Chicago Federals He declared that Malloy was the coarsest man who was ever con. nected with baseball"
 The successor of the famous Charles Murphy will sign up Tyree of the At lanta club, before returning.

Pete Knisely will be regular with the Chicago Cubs as soon as he re- ports. c. H. Thomas, president of the Chicago Nationals. said that he would recommend Knisely be sent to the out field the moment he reported to the club in Philadelphia. In his estimation, the Teuton will prove a sensation with the Cubs. President Thomas will not re- turn to Chicago until he has signed the rest of the players in the south un- der options.
