he had been rejected so often, Ed
ward Coole, 43 years old, who has at
tempted to enlist several times, prov
ed Tuesday that he knew how to
fight. When Sergt. G. l. Brown, re-
cruiting officer, refused him again,
Coole landed swinging blow on the
soldiers face. Sergeant Brown is an
army officer, whose business is fight

man with disposition like that
cant be put into the strvice," re-
marked the sergeant, as he readjus-

necktie. Coole said he had tried at
various places to enlist and had been
rejected so often that he became des-

ANNOUNCEMENT

Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 26, 1918.
To the Republican Electorate of Iowa:
The primary for the selection OF
party cand dates, to be voted upon at
the November election, will be held
Jnue 3, 1918.
While in the matter Of the COVER
inorship it is we'll established custom
for the Republican party ir, Iowa to
nominate the incumbent for a second
term, this does rot obviate the usual
ipreprimary procedure on the part Of
! said Official and / am, therefore,
making this formal announcement of
the fact that | VIII go before the Re-
publican voters OF Iowa next Jure,
asking to be made the nominee of the
party for the office of Governor, in,
which capacity l am now serving my
| first term.
| Whether | have measured up to
| the eXigences AID requirements of
the position | now hold is matter
| for the people to decide. Shortly
after my induction into my Office our
country became involved in the great
est war the world has ever Known.
During a time of stress like the pres
ent the governorship of a state re-
solves itself into vital responsibility
that assumes almost an information
al relationship and the honors of the
secondary.
In accordance with my conception
of the responsibilities of state ex-
ecutive i'm a period like this, l have,
during the major portion of my in
cumbency, devoted practically all my
time and energy to the performance
of duties growing out of war activi-
ties. My ola desire has been and
rpw is to assist the federal govern
ment and the people of this state in
the great task before us, that of
bringing success to our righteous
cause. AS l view it, every thought
and every erfeavor Of all our citi-
zens should be and is for the COM
mon purpose of crowIing with victory
our Army ard Navy and establishing
peace throughout a storm tossed
world.
In this connection / would feel
that had been remiss did | not make
some acknowledgment of the self
sacrificing and unstinted cooperation
| have received from the citiZenry of
Iowa. The generous response of our
people in men of means to every call
made by the numerous federal agen-
cies causes Iowa to stand out cor,
spicuously among her sister states,
and l am deeply sensible of what il
means to be Governor of Common
wealth that is marked by such in
tense, patriotic loyalty.
The platform for the general cleo
ton will be drafted by the regularly
chosert representatives of the party
through the medium Of the June pri-
mary, and the campaign will be con-
Quoted on the issues therein defined
