Cedar RAPIDS Republican

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
truest word that can be said about
Mr.. Harding, the republican candidate
for governor, Is that he is normal
human being. He goes to no ex-
tremes, one way or another. He pro-
ceeds in a commonsense, businesslike
manner. And the explanation of his
extraordinary success in the election
may be attributed to the fact that the
people wanted a return to normal
things. They are tired of being ex-
cited first by one man and then by
another and only to find out that for

cAMpAIGN HAS REACH
 ED THE ACUTE STAGE
rhree Candidates for Governor Maintaining Strong Firing Iine-Covers Every Nook and Corner--Becoming Personal.

little Rock, Feb. 15.-The cam .oion for state offices has reached the aonta or affidavit stage, acknowledged hv all to be the most serious of all. Happv the candidate who can keep h;s affidavit on straight in these par lone times when everybody is shooting at it.
 The campaign is taking on a most nersonal aspect which has led some philosopher to remark that if what each one says Of the other is correct, none of them is fit to be governor. But campaign attacks upon a can didate's character must be accepted as that and nothing more, whatever the source.
 The three candidates for Governor are maintaining strong firing line, and covering every nook and corner of the state. Some of their pathways cross, and there has been a prospect of two or three of them getting to- gether at some point and engaging in joint discussion.
 The only development in the minor contests is the resignation of c. M. Coffman. son of former State Auditor L. L. Coffman, as bookkeeper in the office of Auditor of State, because of alleged misconduct in the office. ' Just what it consisted in he did not divulge His resignation followed soon after Hogan Oliver, candidate for Auditor. began ar investigation of the poll tax records in the office.

RE-OPENING OF PAR
 LAMENT VERY QUIET
Earl Kitchener in Review Before House of Lords Described Re- cent British Operations in Various Theatres of War.

London, Feb. 15.-Shorn for the first time since the death of Queen Victoria of the pomp of a royal pro- cession, the new parliamentary ses- sion was opened today. Though inn portant matters concerning Great Britain's conduct of her campaigns are to be brought up immediately, there was little signs in the ap- breaches to Westminster of public interest in the proceedings.
 But for the presence of a number of ladies listening to the kings speech the upper chamber would have had bare aspect, as there were not twenty peers present when the five commissioners whose duty it was to open the session in the ab- sence of King George took their places on the woolsack.
 After the reading of the kings speech the proceedings adjourned until o'clock. The speech was read in the house of commons when it re- assembled. The passage in it in which Great Britain's foe was charged with mistaking force for right and expediency for honor was loudly cheered.
 i In the house of lords Earl Kitch- ener reviewed recent British oper- ations in the various theatres of war "In France" said the earl, although the Indians have been withdrawn our forces have been materially increased by no less than eight divisions ot the new army. In Egypt adequate preparations have been made against a threatened invasion. In Mesopo tamia, Sir Benton J. Aylemr is await ing further endorsements before re newing his forward movement for { Ijuncture with General Townsend"
 Touching on the workings of tn, new system of enlistment, Earl Kit chener said the government was be ginning to realize how seriously tht numbers of men immediately ob tained are affected by exemption.
