kUEHNLE At BURLINGTON.
4 Few Crawford county people know
of the success that Carl F. kuehnle is
meeting With his gubernatorial CAM
paign. Mr.. Kuehnle spends practi'
cally all his time visiting different
places in the state meeting voters
and it is a quiet week for him when
he is not called upon to make at least
six speeches. In order that Crawford
county people may know of the faV
orable impression he is making, W9are
reproducing an interview which ap'
reared in the Burlington Hawk-Eye
under date OF March 18th:
! If enthusiasm, optimism and sell
confidence we're the sole factors OF the
present contest for the Republican
nomination for governor. Carl F. Kueh,
nle, OF Denison, would get the nomina
ton by reclamation. Mr. Kuehnle
who spent yesterday, and will be If
Burlington part OF today, extending
his acquaintance and furthering his
political Inspiration, is as enthusias
tic as brand new father, as optlmis
tic as a placer miner and as cOnildent
as Frank Gotcll In spite OF streR'
uOus campaign which this week mas
taken him from Council Bluffs to Glen
wood, thence to Red Oak, Corning
Creston Fairfield and Burlington. with
speeches at three stops, he looks fresh
as daisy and spirited as school BOY
| A Hawk-Eye reporter met Mr.
Kuehnle at the Hotel Burlington last
evening where he found him on his
return from the home of Judge Luke
Palmer where he had been dinner
guest>and sought an interview which
was courteously granted.
4 Naturally the first question was con.
corning the candidates progress anu
prospects.
i II am much encouraged and am san
guine as TO the outcome OF the race,
said Mr.. Kuehnle, II have already dis
ltanced two of my competitors. Messrs
Harding and Allen. and am hot on the
trail OF the third, Mr.. CossOn, and will
pass him within the next thirty days

Asked concerning his views on pre-
!, paredness, Mr.. Kuehnle states that ne
lis not in favor of turning this country
!, Into an armed camp nor to become wal
mad simply because Of the hue and
; cry of some interests and the fears
lof the timorous. We ought to have
la first class navy, with fast cruisers

should be one of peace and as for the
talk of this country being invaded by
