Land grants given to several small
railroads in the southwestern part of
the United States more than a half
century ago, many of which are now
parts of much larger systems, are the
cause of traffic problem facing rail
road men. In consideration of land
grants given them the railroads con-
tracted to carry troops, their equip
ment and supplies at less than the
regular government rate. These old
contracts are now said to be the cause
of rate-m making problems which have
puzzled many railroad heads.

been the tnducement that has drawn
many to Camp Dodge. Following is

c. W. Garrett, Clerk Of Supreme
Court, to Preside Tomorrow

Address.

The delegates from Keokuk who
were selected at the recent county
republican convention to represent
Lee county at the republican state
convention at Des Moines tomorrow
are w. G. Blood, Stephen Irwin, John
c. Scott, w. r. c. Kendrick, Hazen
!. Sawyer and F. H. Oyerton.
Lee county will have large rep
resentation at the convention, which
will really open tonight with the
gathering in Des Moines or republican
leaders to map out the details of the
meeting. Tomorrow the convention
proper opens.
Other delegates from Zee county,
besides the ones from Keokuk, are:
c. A. Kennedy, Montrose; A. p,

According to dispatch from Des
MOines, G. w. Garrett, clerk of the
supreme court, has been chosen as
temporary chairman of the republican
state convention which meets We'd
nesday. Garrett and Nathan E. Ken
dali of Abba, former congressman
from the sixth district were the only
ones seriously considered for this
honor and for reasons political Gar
rett was determined upon.
Garrett has for several years, both
In public addresses and In matters of
legislation been an ardent advocate
Of prohibition. AS member of the
Business Mems Temperance league
he made many addresses during the
past two years in favor # prohibi-
ton, the repeal of the mulct law ami
the adjustment of the .aioon from
Iowa. He is therefore well known al
= dry.
Strong for Harding.
z Garrett has been a supporter OF
Lieutenant Governor Harding's can
didacy for the governorship. His
keynote address is expected to be
strong In its advocacy OF prohibition
and for the resubmission of the pro-
htbitory amendment to the vote of
the people. He will probably not go
into the road question much, but will
give considerable attention to the dis
cussion in natural issues.
The contests for state Offices be-
fore the convention are the nominal
tons for attorney general and rail-
road commissioner. Although George
Wilson, county attorney Of Polk
county, received the most votes for
attorney general in the primary,
Horace M. Havner of Marengo car
ried the most counties and will have
the most delegates in the convention.
1t is thought here that John A.
Cuiher OF Winterset, present member
of the board of railroad commission
ers. will get the nomination for that
position at the hands of the conven-
ton. He polled the largest vote in
