SAMPSON NEEDED FOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL

A forward step has been taken I'm
Iowa. In their effort to improve the
social life, the people have voted tie.
saloon out of bd&iness. But 1t. will.
take an Attorney General OF courage
and determination to make the vict-
lory complete. Henry e. Sampson Ia
that man. He has been tried as As
sistant Attorney General, and in that
capacity has proven his strength of
character and saneness of conduct.
The next two years will be vital years
in the history of Iowa. They will be
years in which there should be no
hesitation in the enforcement of law.
The people want the state made clean.
They want the laws enforced. Samp-
son is the one to do this work. He
Is familiar with the office, and knows
how to get results. The moral people
Of the state would vote their full
strength by uniting upon him. He Is
now strongly in the lead for the NOM
nation. His long training for the { e
] flee makes him the logical candidate.
II the people who believe in good gov
eminent, and who want the laws en-
forced, will get back of his candidacy,
Iowa will be permanently benefited.
There may be other good men in the
field, but for us, we think 1t unwise
to chase after uncertainties, when we
know what Sampson will do.
! SIMPSONS work as Assistant At
| torney General has shown clearly and
plainly that he is man of right prin-
ciples, good legal ability, safe judge
ment, and exceptionally well quail
fed, and indications now point In
that direction, Iowa will have no
apologies to make for her Attorn =
General while he Is in Office.

give 1t. The services are to be held in
the Presbyterian church. Miss Bret

the play. During the past week, Miss
White. who coached the declamatory

CossoN DENIES THE
CHARGES BY ALLEN

Des Moines, May s: Attorney Gen.
eral George Cosson issued a state
ment today fatty denying the charge
made by Senator Joseph Allen th..t
the friends of Governor Clarke bar
tered away the Office of governor to
Mr.. Cosson two years ago.
The attorney general also chal-
lenges his opponent in the race for
the republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton to produce his evidence of the
<so-called barter and name the per-
Nnps with whom II was entered into.
Mn. Cosson brands Mr.. Aliens attack
In bxcusable and unwarranted both as
referring to Governor Clarke's friends
ard Mr.. Cosson himself and declared
THAT such a tissue of falsehoods
should not go unanswered since it
caNsts cloud upon the governor him
self.
Mr.. Cosson's statement follows:
1.-THE press dispatches of May 3rd
contain this statement; Senator AL
len Openly accuses Cosson of being a
partN to an agreement entered into
two Years ago with friends of Govern
or Clarke by which the Office of gov
ernor was, bartered away to Cosson
upon hiss promise to withhold en-
trance intoNthe gubernatorial race un-
til 1916"
From the beginning I have real.
lied that Senator Allen and myself
had number of mutual friends and
supporters and that In broad way
we had mich the same following. /
have therefore overlooked many
statements made by the Senator and
some OF his managers, believing that
no good could he accomplished by
controversies largely of a personal

ator should so far forget himself as
to make such a remarkable declara-
ton necessitating my answering the
same, but the injustice to Governor
Clarke's friends, the cloud cast upon
the Governor himself, and fair play
in politics, no less than my own per-
sonal interest, require flat denial
of any such statements, even though
made In the heat of campaign. In
making this statement, however,
shall enter into no controversy with
the Senator except where 1t seems
absolutely necessary in the interest
of truth. fair play and good govern
ment. We must not permit the issues
to be obscured by matters of a per-
sonal nature. / feel that my contest
is with the Lieutenant Governor"

COUNTY CONFERENCE FOR
EQUAL SUFFRAGE

That was certainly q splendid gath
ering of the women from the different
townships to the county conference
last Saturday, held at the court
house. The women were very much
pleased that the men remained at
their meeting for a while after the
adjournment of their convention. The
object of this meeting was to ar
range for O more complete organiza-
ton in the rural districts, as the
towns are better organized. Miss An
ma Martin of Nevada was the prin-
Icipal speaker. Miss Martins eyes
glowed as she told of the results of
the campaign in Nevada. She came
here directly from Reno, where, as
state president, she conducted the
first convention of women voters of
the state. She organized the Womans
Civic League, successor to the Nevada
Equal Suffrage association. She al
luded with pride to the resolutions
adopted by the women In convention.
They pledged temselves, she said, to
vote for the best candidates for Office
| irrespective Of party, and to do all in
their power to secure o modification
Of the wide-open gambling and divorce
laws passed by man-eiected legisla-
| ture; to secure an eight-hour law for
women; raise the age of consent from
16 to Is years, and to secure better
community property laws for women.
Miss Martin asserted that women
had introduced a new influence
new point OF view In government and
I'aw-making in western states, evil
denced by the 1S-year-old age Of con-
sent laws, the minimum wage law
and mothers pension laws In most of
The suffrage states, and by reason of
the fact that only in suffrage states
may be found eight-hour labor laws.
| She said equal suffrage has proved
an unqualified success In the western
states. which comprise practically SO
per cent Of the geographical area of
the United States, and she expressed
herself as confident that Iowa men
will make their wives and mothers
and daughters their political equals

nature, and that such controversial
would be pleasing alone to the liquor
forces and the candidates of their
choice.
But have felt that Senator Aliens
inexcusable and unwarranted attack
against Governor Clarke's friends,
and myself which indirectly casts a
cloud upon the Governor, should not
go unanswered.
There is not a semblance of truth
in the statement. that made any
agreement directly or indirectly with
the friends OF Governor Clarke
whereby was to receive support
from the Governors friends for the
Office of governor at the June prim-
airy, 1915. In consideration that I re-
frain from becoming candidate
against the Governor at the last pri-
mary election. More than that, I was
never so much as approached by a
single person In Governor Clarke's
interest with the request that I re-
fuse to run against the Governor for
the customary second term.
II believe have some sense of the
fitness of things andI never entertain
ed the thought, much less entered in
to an agreement, of opposing Cover
nor Clarke for his second term. and
/ now challenge the Senator TO pro-
duce his evidence and name the per-
sons with whom he claims this I'M
|seemly barter was entered into.
ut Is true that q large number Of
republicans. and especially a large
rlumber of Governor Clarke's friends,
felt that was the logical man to sue
coed Governor Clarke upon his retire

of an agreement. either directly or
indirectly. was entered into between
the Governors friends and myself.

ANOTHER O'POSSUM HUNT.

Not satisfied with the devastation wrought during the recent hunt of the hollow tree dweller, another trial was made last night, and another harm less creature paid the penalty of liv- ing too near civilization.
 The posse, about thirty strong, fill ing two wagons to the brim, chose the happy hunting grounds of the vicinity of Main Springs as the scene of this long to be remembered outing. After the excitement of the fierce chase was over, in which one 'possum was the victim, each young man drew an un- cooked ham sandwich, neatly wrapped, and each s. W. containing the name of a lady, she to be his partner for the lunch. This proved very interesting and we suppose satisfactory. It then fell to the lot of the gentlemen to cook and serve the lunch. which also included "weeners" and delicious hot coffee.
