seems to prevail among some of the
men on the side lines in this present
gubernatorial contest that with four
aspirants for the republican nominal
ton in the running the nomination
will surely be thrown into the conven-
ton. All four of the candidates who
are active at this time, Senator Allen.
Attorney General Cosson, Lieutenant
Governor Harding and Carl kuehnle.
have their following, it is being pointed
out and it is going to be difficult for
any one of them to obtain sufficient
lead in the primaries to land the cleo
ton.
However the campaign is not ex-
pected to warm up in earnest until
after the first of the year. There is a
deep interest in the contest turnout
the state so some of the state officials
who have been out over the state re-
port, but the people are not yet warm
ing up.
There is deep interest too in the
democratic nomination. 1t seems to be

will be difficult matter for the DEM
ocrats to get Wilbur Marsh, of Wa
terloo, to run. Marsh has repeatedly
insisted that he could not consider
such a move. Some strong men Of the
party are now turning to E. T. Mere
dith. of Des Moines, publisher of Sue
cessful Farming and member of the
federal reserve bank board. 1t is a

Meredith would consent to run. Thus

seriously.
The heirs of Anna Anderson living
in Denmark have appealed from the
ruling of the Iowa supreme court
which confirmed the Mitchell county
court in the collateral inheritance tax
case brought by the state of Iowa to
collect 20 per cent of the Inheritance
going to heirs living in Denmark. Mrs.
Anderson died in Mitchell county
leaving quite an estate. The Iowa state
treasurers office brought suit in the
Mitchell county district court to coll
Hect 20 per cent of the estate going to
heirs living outside of this country.
The state won its case in the lower
court and on appeal in the supreme
court. Now the heirs are appealing
to the United States court claiming
that no. over per cent should be col
iected.

He was a delegate from
the Holstein- Friesian association and
his connection with the campaign has
nothing to do with his work as state
dairy commissioner.

be subscribed by dairy breeders as
sociations, dairymen all over the coun-

plies, in fact by all persons interested
in the dairy, industry. Or at any rate
