SENATOR ALLEN !! |:
N SOUTHERN IOWA
Making a Whirlwind Campaign for
the Republican Nomination for
Governor of State.

Creston, May Especial to the
FreemanTribune: Smashing all
records for state campaigning, Sen
'ator Joseph H. Allen of Pocahontas,
candidate for the republican nominal
ton for governor, pressed his attack
on Acknowledgement Cosson and ex-
pounded his new good roads plan in
his whirlwind run across the south
ern part of the state.
Averaging seventeen towns day
or ffty-one towns during the first
three days of the long run, Senator
Allen was enthusiastically greeted
all along the route and met by es-
corts of city and county officials.
The Pocahontas Senator accused
Attorney-General Cosson of having,
during the most critical time of the
consideration of the Mulct law re-
peal bill, with having used his Office
in an effort to block passage of the
measure. If the dry vote is divided,
Senator Allen declared that Cosson
alone would be to blame.
with reference to dividing the
dry vote" Allen declared, II propos-
ed to Mr.. Cosson through the press
early last summer, to submit the
matter Of our candidates. to con-
ference; lay our records bare and
whichever one the conference Sc
lected to withdraw, should with
draw Mr.. Cosson refused.
Il do not think that Mr.. Cosson
is entitled to the dry vote, because
lat the most critical time in the con-
|sideration of the bill repeating the
Mulct law, Mr.. Cosson used his influ-
ence and that of his. Office to, prevent
the passage Of the measure.
I Senator Allen also called atten-
|tion OF republicans to the fact that
fifty-one per cent of the Iowa re-
publican vote is farmer vote and
that he would be glad to have the
farmers compare his record with that
|of any of the other capdidates. AL
lien declared that he had introduced
many bills of advantage to the ag-
ricultural interests and that he had
supported every bill that would i'm
prove conditions in, Iowa,

to adopt the city manager
plan, the council having decided at
its last session to go over to the new

good city manager. The experiment
is one that will be watched with a
great deal of interest. It has been
found to pay in larger cities. Why
should 1t not in smaller one?
