Des Moines. Oct. 25.-This being an
off year in politics the woods have not
been quite so full of candidates as in
years past and the tickets to be voted
on do not present quite such n be-
wildcring list of names as in times
past. There is no progressive ticket. as
the bull moosers winked out two years
ago in their failure to cast 2 per cent
of the gubernatorial vote. The pro
petition method this year and put up
q ticket as did the socialists and pro-
hibitionists at the last minute. but the
party seems to have entirely disap-
peared.
The candidates for United States
senator are Senator William S. Ken
yon, republican. to succeed himself.
and Charles r. Reyes, democrat.
Keyes, whose home is in Des Moines,
has never been in politics nor taken
any active part in public life. When
the democratic state convention met
here in July many of the democrats
advocated throwing all of the demo-
cratic support to Kenyon and even of
nominating Kenyon in the convention.

War Cuts Vote.
Further evidence that the vote at the
coming election will be extremely light
is accommodating. 1t is learned that be-
tween 5000 and 1000 Iowa men are
| working over at Rock Island, Ill.,, on
the arsenal, a large number of Iowans
| who live in various towns and cities
! over the state are working at Camp
| ~ &c naS ~
and in various places outside the state
where government work is on. These
men are not going to take the time nor
go to the expense of quitting work and
going home to vote. 1t is estimated
there are now $4,000 young men in the
military service from Iowa and while
those in military camps turnout the
country will get an opportunity to vote
only comparatively small number
can be reached in this way.
| The election commission in charge of
taking the soldier vote is asking that
all persons interested in giving the SOL
diers in this country an opportunity to
vote see to it that the ones they know
get absent voters ballots thru the
county auditors. Those soldiers in the
camps to be visited by election COM
missions as published Wednesday eve
ming will Of course thus be given an
opportunity but in the other camps not
in the>list published Wednesday eve
ming will have no opportunity to vote
unless absent voters ballots are sent
them. These can be secured thru the
county auditors.
