The republican state convention will
be held in Des Moines on July 10 to
nominate candidates for attorney-gen-
eral and railroad commissioner, to
adopt platform and to constitute a
new state committee for the conduct
of the state campaign. Our Impression
Of the matter would be that Wilson
and Guiher are most likely to be nomi-
mated respectively for attorney general
and railroad commissioners and if such
be the result it will, at least, be salts
factory to us. With respect to the
platform it is probable that the Hard
ing forces will be in control of the
convention but that they will not OBJ
ject to the adoption Of resolutions APP
proving the repeal Of the mulct law,
promising enforcement of the prohtbi-
tory law and favoring the pending con-
stitutional amendment for making pro-
hiDition permanent

Of the old standpat crowd in Iowa polt-
tics, has an article entitled Has Amer

Boyd declares that IF ever there was

may be seen that the old standpatters
are still standing pat upon their no.
tons of the past decade.
The National Educational Association
has yielded to public sentiment and
this week declared for military training
in the public schools wherever it could
be done without "perverting the edu-
cational practices of the school," It
might replace much of inter- school
contests which lead to professionalism
in athletics.
Government forecasts OF the final
production Of 1915 crop are good to
read. Where the harvesting of the
principal grains will show a lesser
number Of bushels than were garnered
last year, one has to remember that
last year was a banner year, the third
in crescent succession. Wheat, while
less than last year. Is well above the
five-year average. The same is true Of
corn, oats, barley and rye. There -
pleasing prospect that the crops Of
1915 are going to be very good in

The Cedar Rapids Republican and
Vinton Eagle deny the Star-Clipper's
assertion that the wet vote OF Iowa
went against equal suffrage. There are
eleven counties along the mississippi
commonly known as wet counties.
Equal suffrage lost in Iowa by 10341
votes. These eleven counties cast a
majority Of 12,767 votes against the
measure. The wettest Of the eleven
counties are Dubuque. Jackson, Gin
ton, Scott and Des Moines. in which
are located Davenport, Dubuque, Gin

gave over 1900 majority against the
women. Figures talk louder than
words. Have the two newspapers
