COSSON LEADS
FOR GOVERNOR
Political Forecasters Say He
Is Strongest Candidate
EXPECTED TO WIN June 5
Predicted He Will Receive Several
Points Above Thirty-fiye Per Cent
Of Votes Cast-ReasOns Why He Is
Strong.

Des Moines, Ia.-(SpeciaD: Accord
ing to all indications on the political
map, Attorney General George Cosson
is the strongest candidate in the race
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor of Iowa.
Indications also point to his nomina-
ton in the primaries June with sew
eral points above the required thirty
five per cent.
Those closely in touch with the
political situation base the above
statements on the following facts:
Attorney General Cosson has led the
field by a great margin in every straw
vote that has been taken.
The most significant and most i'm
portant poll of the gubernatorial con-
test was taken by the Des Moines Cap
ital. That newspaper polled the edi-
tors of the newspapers of Iowa. The
editors were asked to name the man
they believed to be the strongest in
their respective communities and not
vote for the candidate they favor per-
sonally unless they believed him the
community favorite. The editors voted
in Australian ballot form so that there
would be no strings to the balloting
and an editor would not be required to
go on public record if he did not so
desire.

Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1916-05-18

Two hundred and forty-six editors
voted. Every county in the state was
represented.
Cosson was declared to be the
strongest candidate by 100 of these
editors.
Allen was given first place by sixty
five editors and Harding by fifty-seven
editors
Cosson received twice as many votes
as either candidate and as many
votes as both Harding and Allen COM
bined.
That poll means this:
That editors of the state of Iowa
predict Cosson will win the republic
can nomination for governor and that
he will lead the field in half of the
communities of the state of Iowa.
The Capitals poll was the first poll
ever taken among the editors of the
state. The Capital selected the editors
because they are more closely in touch
with the sentiment of their respective
communities than any other group.
Political leaders attach much signifi-
canoe to the result of the poll
The Webster City Journal took a
poll in Hamilton county on the guber-
Material situation. Cosson received
1853 votes, Allen 100, Harding SO and
Kuehnle 48. Cosson received more
than thirty-five per cent of the votes
in that poll. The surprising thing is
that Hamilton county is supposed to be
Aliens own territory as it borders on
his senatorial counties. The vote is
taken as an indication of the results
in the primary June S in that section
of the state.
A poll taken in Wright county gave
Cosson two to one over Allen, with
Harding and Kuehnle far in the rear
The poll was taken by the Times-Ga-
zette of Eagle Grove.
Cosson led by similar majorities in
several other polls taken within the
last few weeks.
Political leaders also point to Mr.
Cosson's active organizations. He has
club at Waterloo with more thar
1 1000 members. He has large Cossor
for Governor club in Polk county. Ce-
dar Rapids and Fort Dodge have or
carnations with hundreds Of members
working for him. In addition, there
are 109 other Cosson for Governor
clubs throughout the state with a
membership of more than 5000. Nc
other candidate has such active ant
material support
Sentiment throughout the state i:
becoming more and more pronounced
that Mr.. Cosson will land the nomina
ton at the primary.
Republican leaders point out tina
Mr.. Cosson is vote-getter. His
strength has been increasing daily
Everyone comedies that the fight j.
between Cosson and Harding.
The last Iowa Official Register
shows Cosson's proclivities as a vote
getter:

aGeorge Cosson for Governor

"a little over a month remains be-
fore the people of the state will select
candidates for governor, and other
state officers.
Gas the time draws near for the
making of this selection, some facts
stand out clearly
"Iowa has taken forward step. 1t
has voted the saloon out of business,
ind the future looks bright. But to
make the victory complete man is
needed in the governors chair who
has courage and determination. That
man is George Cosson. He has been
tried and his strength of character,
and saneness Of conduct proved. The
next two years will be vital years in
the history of Iowa. They will be
years in which there should be no hes
ltatlon in the enforcement of law. The
people want the law enforced. They
want the state made clean, from end
to end. Cosson is the man to do this
work"

A mother had a little girl, her first
child, who seemed to have been born
with a scowL Perfectly well, still she
had a morose disposition which it
seemed as though nothing could alter.

mother made a rule that no one should
look at the baby without smile. With

to smile back, and as she grew, and
the rule still held In the home, she de-

her called "the smiling baby" and

PROF. CHARLES STEWART WILL
LECTURE IN CHICAGO.

The people of Chicago will be given
an opportunity to hear Charles Stewart,
A. NJ, D. D., next Sunday and Mon
day. DR.. Stewart, will visit home for
a few days, and Sunday morning will
speak at Bethesda Baptist Church, at
IL O'Clock and at 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon will deliver a lecture to wo-
men and girls at Ebenezer Baptist
Church, 35th and Dearborn streets.
This will be his first time to deliver
a set lecture to women only in Chicago,
although he has spoken here a number
of times. In this talk he has attracted
large crowds of women all over the
country, and it is said to be helpful
to the race. During the Christmas
holidays he delivered a lecture at
Quinn Chapel to men only, and on his
return to the city, he speaks to wo'
men.
Perhaps there is no man in the race
who is better personally known than
DR.. Stewart, and then he is well posted
on conditions in the south-in fact in
all parts of the country. He has been
a citizen of Chicago since 1884, but
at late years he is kept out of the city
most of the time. DR.. J. F. Thomas,
and his people are planning to give
him large crowd Sunday afternoon.

ALDERMAN NATHANIEL A. STERN

Two years ago Alderman Nathaniel
A. Stern was elected to the city coun-
ell from the Third Ward and so far
he has made good, he is member of
the committees on harbors, wharves
and bridges, schools, fire, police and
civil service and the health committee
of the city council.
The municipal voters league in its
report of February Sth, 1916 has this
to say in favor of the past record of
Alderman Stern.
Third Ward Nathaniel A. Stern
Finishing first year in council with
good record; voted for "budget
board" for requiring monthly lists of
"sixty day" men, for removal and
prosecution of Nye and Civil Service
Commissioners Coffin and Geary, for
securing financial information from
school board, for prohibiting alderman
soliciting jobs from public service cor
porations and against Cullerton's order
violating building ordinance. Coming
fifth in the council roll call and follow
ing the "Bath," the "Dink," De.
Priest and Norris, Stern with no pre-
vious council experience has had to de-
eide between right and wrong on coun-
ell questions quickly and without the
lead of reliable aldermen. This duty
he has discharged with excellent judg-
ment; has shown independence ana

Alderman Joseph Higgins Smith,
Democratic candidate for re-nomina-
ton at the primaries Tuesday, Feb.
29th was elected to the city council
from the 18th ward in 1914, and from
the very first day that he entered it
down to the present time its other
members have been aware of the fact
that they could not put anything over
on him with his eyes wide open.
Since becoming a member of that
body he has accomplished great deal
of constructive work-not only for the
people residing in the 18th ward but
the people in general living in all parts
of this city, at all times he has stead
lily forced himself to the front in be-
half of all measures having for their
object the improvement of the condi-

who are unable to make long trips to
the larger parks, he has worked hard
early and late in favor of clean streets
and alleys, and an up-to-date adequate
lighting system.

In respect to its dentition the shark

In respect to its dentition the shark
is a very remarkable creature. The
white shark has seven rows Of teeth,
while other species vary in the number
Of rows they possess. 1t must be I'm
derstood, however, that the shark only
uses one row at a time. The other
rows lie down inside the mouth be-
hind the edge Of the jaw. erecting
themselves when it is time for them to
take successfully the place of the first
row. When one observes how keen
edged these incisors are it seems no
wonder that they can bite off a big
rope as readily as If it were thread.
