5. ]. HARRISON Is
NOT DISCOUNTED
Defeated Candidate Says He is
Ready to Support His Sue
cessful Opponent

While am disappointed in not being
the favored candidate in this con-
gressional district must concede that
Mr.. LaFollette was fairly and legally
selected. If had been given the pref
erence at the primary as he was, i
would have expected his support, and
/ therefore feel that he is entitled to
mine. Anything / can do to promote
his election will do. favor republic
can rule.
While Mr.. Wilson is a great i'm
provement over previous democratic
administrations, nevertheless, the dem
ocratic free trade policy has always
been ruinous to the industrial condi-
tions of the United States, and only
for the demands of the great Euro
pean war for its men and machinery
and the product of our mills, the
United States would now be exper-
fencing an industrial panic far worse
than was suffered under Cleveland.
The war which protects us will not
last forever, and in choosing a policy
for the future it should be assured that
before another year has come and
gone the war will be over and the pro-
ducts of the wonderful industries of
England, Germany, France and Aus
tria will again be thrown upon our
markets in ever increasing quantities.
Then will come reduction of wages,
strikes, lockouts and depreciation Of
values. To avoid this / am in favor
of electing a republican congress and
shall give my best support to Mr..
LaFollette.

Crop in Iowa and Shortage Elsewhere
Causing Rapid Advance in Prices.

Waterloo, Aug 19.-And now the
humble tuber springs into fame. Along
with lemons, flour, peaches and other
commodities, which have been ascend
ing the price scale, Waterloo commits
sion merchants announced yesterday
that the price of potatoes was expected
to soar way~ou of sight during the
coming weeks. By spring it is likely
that the price will be almost pro-
hibitive.
Scarcity Everywhere.
All states, where potatoes form
big portion Of the crop, report DIG
scarcity of tubers. The potatoes that
are being secured are small and OF
poor quality. Iowa usually secures
great quantity of the Irish fruit from
Minnesota, but reports received trom
the Gopher state indicate shortage
in late potatoes and all early potatoes
are very small and rank low in quail
ity.
The finest potatoes are now being
secured and probably will continue to
come from the Kansas City district
These tubers are known as the Kaw
Valley potato and are Of fair quail
,ity. Even here, however, the crop is
short. Iowa is in similar predica
ment and can not help out the stu
alton any. The Hawkeye state has
never been a foreign producer and
all the potatoes raised here are used
for home consumption The small crop,
not only in Iowa but in every other
state this year, has made the situation
doubly serious Prices are already
high and will continue to leap upward
assert local commission merchants
There is no quarter, they state. which
can be expected to furnish relief. The
situation may resemble q potato famine
before spring, it is declared by some.
Minnesota Situation.
/ A Black Hawk county farmer, who
has just returned from a trip to Min
nesota declared yesterday that the po-
tato situation in that state was unusu
ally acute. He visited on his brother s
farm, he said. and during the fore part
