Eldora, April 2.-There is a move

of Ames, as a compromise candidate
for governor in place of Governor
Clarke and his candidacy in this judi

Among none Of the strong men who
have presided over the district court

Judge Lee is such likeable man as
these two gentlemen and his candidacy

Money More Plentiful.

Until recently money was scarce
enough to make ii difficult to finance
new operations or to sell standard
stocks and bonds. Those. who had
money were holding on to It or using it
where it would bring unusual rates OF
interest for a short period. Now that
money has become somewhat easier,
and easier money is largely due to
slackening in business operations,
standard stocks and bonds and other
investments do not look good to the
man with the money because prospects
for earning dividends and interest are
not so good, The sum of it Is that. IL
business were more active, money for
investment would be scarcer, and,
while business is somewhat quiet, peo-
Pile do not care to invest because Of
such Quietudo.

Monthly Forecast by Homer Miller
Points Out Reasons for vaeiliatins

Have Bearing.

Des Moines, April 2.-Trade condi-
tons in the United States are about to
go thru an unsteady period in the
next few weeks, according to tho
monthly business forecast issued by
Homer Miller of the Iowa National
Bank.
Speaking generally, there is nothing
disquieting in the business situation,
says the report, but there is every
reason to expect hating, jerky anS
irregular movement for the next few
weeks. Something depends on the &C
ton of the interstate commerce COM
mission in the matter of freight rate
advances; something on the organiZa-
ton and beginning Of operations by
the federal reserve banks; something
on congressional action between now
and adjournment; something on the
outcome Of the Mexican mixup. and
more than all these. on crop prospects
for the year. We believe the careful,
clear-headed business man will make
a fair showing in volume Of business
and good showing in profits earned
during this year. It is quite likely
there will be no period of exceedingly
tight money unless it be a temporary
one while the crops are coming IN.
Business has been much worse during
the past few weeks than it is at pres
ent and it bids fair to be better before

the second trial of the former police

its case upon the testimony of Rose,
Weber and vallon, who we're the chief
witnesses for the prosecution at the
first trial. 1t is said, however, that
there will be much new testimony in
troduced to corroborate their evidence
