State Senator C. H. Thomas OF
Union county has made a wonderful
campaign for the republican nominal
ton for state treasurer and his
friends claim he will carry two
thirds of the counties of the state.
He is a man of the common people
and his legislative record shows him
to be one Of the warmest friends OF
the laboring classes that ever held a
seat in the Iowa senate. He intro
duced number of important meas
ures in their interest and supported
the workingmen's compensation act.
He started life poor boy and has
made his own way and his whole life
has been in sympathy with the toll
ers of the state.
Ane of his colleagues in the senate,
Hon. D. c. Chase, pays him the fol-
lowing high tribute:
Senator Thomas is a splendid bus
mess man and his training fit him
for the POSITION; not only has the
oPOSAol oOapldCAol w Lie IcCILlACdI uS-
mand of The Office, but his record in
the senate shows him to be well in
formed on all public questions and
loyal to his people as a public SER
want. His advocacy of the blue sky
law and the splendid fight he put up
against odds for this much needed
measure, shows him to be man of
courage and of the best ideals, while
his devotion to all measures in the in
terest of public morality shows him
to be worthy of public trust. He was
a friend of the schools and teachers
of the state and was also friendly to
the cause Of labor and the laboring
man. Senator Thomas will be a
strong candidate and a worthy one"
The Bystander commends the can
didacy of Senator Thomas for state
treasurer tt every colored voter in
Iowa.

GUIHER FOR COMMISSIONER,
John A. Guiher, at present a men,
Der of the railroad commission, is a
candidate for denomination. He is an
able lawyer and is rendering the state

his denomination.
He has been successful with his
own business and by his ripe age,
broad experience, he is a valuable
member to the commission. He is a
good friend of the colored people and
Always has been. He comes from that
old Quaker parentage and his an
cestors aided in the underground rail-
road in Pennsylvania during the early
