FARMER BRapY'S CANDIDACY.

Henry Brady, farmer is visiting diff
ferent parts Of the state looking up
his friends and making new ones for
his candidacy for the lieutenant gov
ernorship. Mr.. Brady dropped quietly
into MarshaIltown the other day and
impressed those who met him favor
ably.
There Is nothing spectacular about
a farmer There are other candidates
in the field for the governorship and
it's lieutenancy who are land owners
but this man Brady is a farmer who
farms with his own hands, goes out
in the fields when needed to plow corn
and drive the binder and hustle the
planting. a quiet. unassuming man; but
he grows on those with whom he
combs in contact. Brady leaves good
impression. He stands for something,
knows just where he stands and very
distinctly, tho quietly makes himself
fully understood. When Brady goes
away he leaves the impression OF a
steadfast capable and dependa BILE man
behind him. He will gain friends and
support wherever he goes and makes
acquaintances.
Brady is an illustration Of the strong,
intelligent farmer in the legislature. He
was a member Of the last legislature
and the one preceding. Brady was
He had charge Of the temperance bills.
He made a good leader, knew his bust
ness and held the confidence Of his
colleagues. He has served as speaker
pro tenn with great success in disposing
of the business Of the house. He has
the support of the cooperative eleva-
for their rights and appeals to the
agricultura!ists as their particular
champion in the legislatures referred to
above.
Brady will get votes; the better peo-
pie get to know him the more votes
he will get. If farmers seek repre-
sentative farmer Brady should appeal
to them thru his business and his rec
ord In the work Of Dallas county on

Brady had his hand. He has a good
claim on the temperance vote. the farm
vote and the decent vote generally. The
primary could do much worse than te
call this Cincinattus from his plow.

be one Of the prettiest and best

the Sunday meetings in Des Moines.
Then in the community of 200 were

Somebody suggested that a commun-

The Dutch people are wondering
what Wilson do with the German note;
the American people are wondering
what he will do about the continued

showing the different interest at home
and abroad.
Webster county republicans at their
county convention voted 49 to / to sup
port the woman suffrage amendment.
The democratic convention endorsed
Meredith and finally agreed to support
the amendment. But the agreement
was reached under the gun and after
the convention had been warned that
it was a Meredith plank. Meredith
seems bigger than his party in Webster
county also. But that the woman suf-
frage amendment will win thru the
votes of the republicans in the coming
primary seems evident.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

| with five primary candidates in the
field for attorney general there Is
| bound to be confusion among the
voters in arriving at an intelligent
choice. Without attempt at speaking
in disparagement of any of the other
candidates we feel like saying very
kindly word for H. NJ. Havner of
! Marengo," says the Anamosa Eureka.
He is, ripened in experience. Those
who are close to him readily put for
ward the very best reasons why he
should be favorably considered. He
Is conservative, dependable and fear
less. Mr. Havner would make very
acceptable attorney general. Perhaps
he might not be quite as active in
gaining publicity as some of the other
fellows, but he would be found at his
job, and that counts in the long run"

the automobile that Mr., Harding had
ordered from Sioux CITY to meet him
at Alta after his lecture and take him
TO sioux City, could not help but feel
that this served az q typical illustra-
tion OF what the roads would continue
to be like, IL the people followed Mr..
Harding's advice. The car was SO be-
spattered with mud and also the driver
that the spectators were unable to
decide whether the car was made OK
mud or had just been drawn out OF
ton foot mud hole. We are inclined to
inter that Mr.. Harding would have
much preferred hard road to Sioux
City instead Of the mud, at least ne
preferred the riding on good hard
railroad track in a passenger train to
Cherokee and staying there all night IN
preference to riding on the kind OF
roads he Is advocating.

$500 Already Raised

An organization of Troop B
Reserves, consisting of honorably
discharged members of Troop B,
is at present in process, and was
announced by Gen. J. M. Ashton
at the Commercial club reception
to Troop B last evening.
Cash and subscriptions amount
ing to $227.70 were raised with
in few minutes, as the nucleus
of a mess fund. Later subscrip-
lions have brought the total up
to $500.
Our purpose and aim," said
Gen. Ashton, will be to look
after the troopers and their fami-
lies. We want the names of
every trooper and his relatives,
and we are going to make 1t our
business to take care of those they
leave behind. If necessary, we
will go down where the troopers
are and look after their wants and
comforts. If it is necessary to
do some scrapping, we will be
there to help do ii"
Subscriptions and money were
rendered at once, and President
Wheeler of the Commercial club
appointed a committee of five to
handle donations, consisting of
r. Il. Jeffries, chairman; Roy d.
Pinkerton, G. B. WEIGH, s. s.

II all reports are true, it is only matter OF
hours until Troop B, Tacoma's own troop, will
be on its way to the Mexican border.
Troop B, like the rest Of the United States
militia is thoroughly democratic institution.
There are men i'm 1t whose going will mean
hardship to their families except anxiety and
loneliness; and side by side with them men
whose families will daily miss the breadwin-
ners earnings as well as his presence.
An organization is being formed, 1.-THE Troop
b Reserves" to keep In touch with the men i'm
the field and with their families at home, for
the purpose of helping both.
mess fund has already been begun.
A fund is a good idea. Every normal
man likes good things to eat. Yakima, Gen.
tralia and other cities much smaller than Ia.
coma have raised mess funds amounting to
thousands of dollars in day two. We can
send our boys many nice things as anybody,
and we will.
