GOvERNoRSHIP AND SUFFRAGE
ATTRACT CHIEF INTEREST
a IN PRIMARY.
PREDICTION MADE THAT
WOMEN WILL WIN OUT
Outrage Amendment Believed to Be
Assured Of Adoption-No Contest
Among Democrats For State Offices
and Slate Put Up Will Be Unopposed !
Socialist Have Ticket in Field.

Des Moines, June 5.-Iowa republi-
cans who went to the primaries today
were interested chiefly in the governor
ship and the equal suffrage questions.
that the women will succeed in obtain
ing an amendment to the constitution,
giving them the ballot. Other state Of
f1cers will also be nominated.
The democrats and socialists also
went to the polls. but as far as the
state officers were concerned, there was
no opposition to the men chosen by
leaders as standard bearers In the OPEN
ing campaign. In nearly every county.
however, there were several candidates
in at least the two big parties for NOM
ination for county offices.
AS in former years. the keenest con-
test was expected for the gubernatorial
nomination, and this year, with no con-
tests on the democratic side, the repub-
licans have the field almost to them
selves. The campaign has been uSus-
ually strenuous. Each of the four can
didates has made longer trips, some Of
them by automobile. and delivered
many addresses, in some of which per-
sonalities were freely INDUCED in.
The most notable controversy devel-
oped between Joseph H. Allen. of Po-
cahontas, a state senator, and George
Cosson, Of Audubun. the present at
torney-general.
Carl Kuehnle, Of Denison, running on
al
ministration." is considered only a
complimentary candidate" and. 1t Is
thought. will poll a very small vote out
side his own district. Political pro-
phets outside the republican fold, assert
that the race will be close, and they
hold Mr.. Harding a slight favorite.
Nc Democratic Contests.
Since the presidential preference pri-
mary held April 10. the efforts of demo-
cratic leaders to marshal q united de-
mocracy at the polls has been unceas-
ing, with the result that E. T. Meredith,
prominent publisher Of Des Moines.
win go before the voters unopposed for
the democratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton. Utmost efforts have been made
to adjust democratic fractional differ
encee elsewhere. and leaders claim that
now there are no obstacles to complete
party harmony.
]. w. Bennett, Of Sioux City, Is the
socialist candidate for governor head
ing complete state ticket nominated
by tho socialist state committee.
Al regards the state Offices outsice
the governorship. there Is less interest.
Some contests appear on the republican
ballot, but It u expected the result
will follow factional lines strictly, and
that the winner for the governorship
will carry into nomination with him his
political adherents.
1t is generally accepted that the
amendment will be adopted. BY order
Of the secretary Of state. special bal
lots and special poll books have been
provided for the suffrage question in
the election. altho the same election Of

honor Of the states fifty.third birth.
day which was held at the Pythian
Temple Tuesday evening. One of the
most Incidents OF the evening was the
reading OF the state creed by all the
sons and daughters present. Senator
Nathan B. Scott made the principal
address. The Senator's loyal to his
home state and his interest in West
Virginia and all OF it's citizens Is too
weel known to admit of any question
nor did he waste much time
In sentimental resume Of what his
feelings were. Asa man OF affairs,
thoroughly In touch with business con.
ditions in the state, he plunged into
facts and figures as regards the states
resources. which were little known to
many Of his hearers.
That West Virginia. IL necessary,
could supply all the demands Of the
nation in the coal industry for the
next two hundred years; that 1t own.
ed and controlled the largest pottery
In the world-located at Newell; that
It was one Of the dominating factors
In the oil nd gas supply Of the coun.
try; that its glass industries are sec.
ond to none; that 1t Is still rich in
undeveloped mineral wealth; and that
natural resources have been so great
that It has. heretofore, failed to de.
velop the wonderful power-almost
untouched-in It's water power
these were q few Of the things which
Senator Scott spoke OF. He laid partic-
ular emphasis on the fact that West
Virginia has the. most beautiful seem
cry In the. world. He didn't call It
the Switzerland Of America" but he
stated that It was not surpassed or
eQualled by anything In this country,
and reading between the lines, one
might be justified in adding that in
his own private opinion, It was not
surpassed by anything abroad. Right
here Senator Scott made q plea for
good roads. He voiced his opinion
that they would be Of wonderful value
to the state as q business investment;
that tourists would be attracted; that
large prosperity would accrue to the
state, from the possession Of high.
ways that would make West Virginia
q popular thoroughfare for visiting
sight seers. 1.-THE sooner" said sena.
tor Scott, "the state takes action and
