Des Moines Aug. 27--State day at
the Iowa state fair today brought out
u considera BILE exhibit of politicians.
The judging of the exhibit however,
did not take place today, altho a con-
siderable number Of interested bystand-
ers gave them the once over. The real
judging will come on primary day next
June and final judgment will be pass
ed on those not eliminated nNthe pri-
maries on election day in November,

However. they were all hopeful and
therefore gracious today. They didn't
talk politics, except to the politicians,
hut discussed the fair, Iowa prosper
ity. the crops and similar subjects.
The men who have been around some
and sense political conditions said the
people are not much interested in any
mans candidacy for office just now,
particularly state office. There is more
or less curiosity as TO who the repub-
leans will bring out for president and
whether or not the c. o. p. can get
back alongside of the political pie
counter. Will the republicans nomin-
ate Lowden or Taft or is there the
possibility of an army officer getting
into the political saddle? Will Wilson
run again? And who will the rcpub-
licans in Iowa nominate for governor?
These are the leading questions just
now which no one can answer altho
many have opinions.
Candidates Becoming Active.
However, the real interest is ex-
pected to develop soon after the frs:
of the year and plenty of excitement
is predicted in advance of the repub-
lican national convention.
Candidates for governor on the re-
publican ticket expect to open head
quarters soon after the first of the
year. It,Sis expected that the special
session of the legislature here in the
winter to pass on code revision will be
the center thru which the state polit-
ical plans for the year will be worked
'out. 1t will be plenty soon enough. the
leaders say, and really the ideal time.
to plan both the state and national
campaign in Iowa.
Nate Kendall, of Abba, candidate for
the republican nomination for COVER
nor. who was the speaker before the
old soldiers reunion at the state fair
Tuesday, expects to open political
headquarters in Des Moines after the

talking politics these days but issmak-
ing many patriotic addresses over the

AAvNER RULING RAISES STORM.
Churchmen Disagree With Attorney
General Regarding Wines.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque. Aug. 27.-An opinion by
Attorney General Havner, holding that
manufacture and sale of wines for
sacramental purposes in Iowa is il
legal has brought a storm of protest
and discussion from northeastern Iowa.
Dubuque attorneys and Catholic
clergy today went over the Iowa stat
utes. and pointed to section 1885 OF the
supplement to the Iowa code. which
expressly exempts churches from the
operation of the prohibition law insc-
far as sacremental wines are affectei.
They said the attorney general likely
based his opinion on section 23S2
which does not mention churches in the
operation of the law.
Mr. Havner declined to authorize
permits for the MANUFACTURES of sac
ramental wines in Iowa. Tie matter
will be taken mp with him at once, it
was announced here today.
