one Of northern Iowa's best known
citizens, announced to friends Satur-

him. This announcement followed the
many references to his candidacy by
papers in the district and offers of sup

cans as we'll as the personal insistance
on the part Of many republicans In
Cerro Gordo county.
The district is composed Of the
Cerro Gordo and, following the custom
of many years, the position is con-
ceded to this county for the next four
year term. For several months there
have been number Of papers in the
district which have been urging Major
Rule to make an announcement. but he
has refrained until the present time,
having repeatedly declared that he did
not desire to announce himself until he
had a chance to investigate the feeling
of republicans in the county. This in
vestigation, he said had been so COM
plimentary to himself that he felt he
should not longer remain silent when
an answer was being demanded.
There had been some talk that former
Representative Pickford would seek
the nomination, but he understood that
the former legislator had positively de-
clined to enter the contest.

a colonel in the artillery Of the Car

Villa, and he says:
"Tho / have seen all the horrors of

his wilful murder of citizens, execu-
ton of soldiers, raping of girls and so

because the Americans who hold out
for him do not know him for the cow

by the papers, and classed as a hero
when, in fact, he is one Of the rankest

who won his first battles soon became

resolutions will not be made until the
council has disposed finally of the
Leeds measure, it was Indicated yester-s
day by Councilman Wesley.
Bids on the Leeds job will not be,
sought until early January, and prob
ably will force the letting of the Broken
Kettle and the Perry creek contracts
into late February. It is the belief of
the council that price quotations on
materials will be able to give close
figures on both Of these proposed i'm
provements.
The cost OF the two roads will prob
ably be higher per mile than the cost
Of the Military, Correctionville and
Leeds highways. because longer hauls
will be demanded both for the Perry
creek and the Broken Kettle highway.
This feature will be the distinct prob
lem in the improvement Of the Broken
Kettle highway. Much of the Perry
creek material will be hauled from
