PLAY AT Y. M. C. A.

The Boys and Girls Hobby Show
held in the Y. NJ. c. A. on New Years
day and night, was a real success and
a compliment to the promoters and
exhibitors. Although the entry list
did not reach the anticipated length,
almost every division of the five de-
partments of the show had one o.
more entries. Attendance New Years
afternoon and evening was good, and
the receipts should make big hole in
the expenses of the show.
All kinds of hobbies. the work of
boys and girls under twenty-one years
OF age were on display. These eXhib-
its with many collections and anti
ques and the pet animal show, made
a very interesting attraction.
Carpentry, wood turning and cary
ing entered by the grade school and
high school manual training students
were a big boost for public school 70
cational work.
The ingenuity and originality of
| the boy mind was shown Monday in

mechanical appliances exhibited by
boy-makers. Some excellent models
made of Meccano, and erector builders
found place among the displays and
won prizes and awards,
The Art department was one of the
| sighted departments of the show.
What few entries were made, deser'
we'd mention, for they were above the
ordinary. E. P. LAWN, of the Frankel
Company, was the largest exhibitor
| in arts. His paintings and drawings
won many awards. The Farr Brothers
pottery also attracted attention.
| Collections of almost anything, could
lbe found in the show, Thomas Camp

FOUR LINE UP
To BE SPEAKER
COVETED ASSEMBLY POSITION
is MUCH SOUGHT.
THE BATTLE WAKES WARM.
Confidence Expressed On All Sides
However There Is Nothing To In
dictate That Any Candidate Is
"out of the Woods"

Des Moines, Jan. -Four of the
candidates for speaker of the house
in the Thirty-seventh general assem-
bly, are at the Slavery hotel, have OPP
, ened headquarters for the campaign
and are awaiting the arrival of ma
terial to work upon for supporters.
i But few politicians other than can.
didates have arrived in the city,
though several who were partici-
pants in the fight in their capacity of
caucus members arrived today and
many are expected to be present
when the real personal work begins,
Lee Elwood of Elma, Howard
county; L. ]. Neff of Walnut, Potta.
wattamie county; M. B. Pitt of Lo-
gan, Harrison county, and F. E.
Shortess of Traer, Tanaa county,
We're on the job yesterday.
None of the candidates is willing
to claim that he can not be defeated
but none is willing to admit either
that he has rot very good chance
of election
For the present the alignment
presents Pitt as the representative
of one faction, Elwood and Shor-
tess standing together as represent
ing another and Neff announcing
himself as the representative of no
faction whatever but occupying a
middle ground between the others
that places him in a desirable posi-
tion for compromise.
Roy w. Murray of Storm Lake is
still being prominently mentioned
| for the speakership, and is said to
have had promises of considerable
support if he will consent to. enter
the race. He has had much favor
able mention in the newspapers of
! Buena Vista county and other papers
in different parts of the state.
A. w. Slaught of Ottumwa, an
other announced candidate, has not
arrived: He is reported to be
aligned in broad way with thes gsti:,
Johnston road law forces, but i95a.

| the race. Little has been learned
here of the amount of strength he
has developed and little is known Of
which way it viii be thrown if he be-
comes a party to a compromise.
Talk of Combinations.
Combination talk will hold the in
terest of the supporters of all can
didates today and for the rest of the
week. With each. of the candidates
claiming definite numbers of pledged
and partly pledged supporters it is
probable that no one has suffi-
cient number to elect on the first bal
lot. If the switch to the bandwagon
candidate has not occurred before
the caucus convenes on Saturday, 1t
is regarded as probable that the cleo
ton will come on the third ballot.
The first will show where the
strength lies, the second which way
it is going to turn and the third will
carry the balance to one side or an
other.
