in knowing what the people in his
| home town think of him. Mate"
as he is Familiarity called, has the in
side on the governorship so for as
Audubon county is concerned, there
fore the following news item from
the Abba Union of last Friday will
be eagerly read:
For more than a year the friends
of Hon. N. E. Kendall throughout
the state have urged him to become
a candidate for governor of Iowa and
1t was through these solicitations
the race for chief executive of the
state-an honor that can come to
only few men of this commonwealth.
His candidacy, which has been
spreading and gaining support in ev-
cry county in the state for months,
became a reality Tuesday evening
when a Kendall for Governor Club
was organized at the court house in
Abba.
1.-THE meeting was called to order
by E. c. Sloan who stated that y. C..
Mabry had been selected to preside,
which he did in his most gracious
and happy manner.
"Mr. Mabry reviewed Mr. Ken
dalPs career from the time he came
from Lucas county to Abba in his
youth until the present time. To
most of us his life has been an open
book; but Mr.. Mabry told of his
struggle to gain knowledge of the
law--his chosen profession-and af-
ter entering into practice his success
became phenomenal. Early in his
profession he was nominated and
elected county attorney and at no
time was he found wanting in en-
forcing the state laws. This was
the starting point of his career. And
in the language of Mr.. Mabry Mate
has made good to the people in ev-
cry Office he was called on to fill;
from county attorney to representa-
tive in the legislature, and in the
halls of congress, and he will make
good as Iowa's chief executive
Gas an orator Mr.. Kendall is with
out a peer. 1t is a gift that few
men possess. Wherever he speaks
the audience is captivated and they
are for him forever afterward.
"Mr. Mabry's address on this oc-
casion was one of the best efforts of
his life and ii was an inspiration to
everyone present to use every honor
able means to secure Nate Kendall's
nomination and election as governor
of Iowa.
cat the close of his address Mr..
Mabry read and moved the adoption
of the following resolution:
"Our fellow citizen, Honorable N.
E. Kendall, is a product of the great
m, - -. - -
dier parentage upon her soil, educat-
ed in her schools. and TO her he has
devoted the years of his maturity.
His distinguished services in her le-
gislatiye halls are part of her his
tory. and the impress of his ability
is seen upon her statutes and public
institutions. His record as a legis-
lator and as speaker of the Iowa
house is unsurpassed in point Of
achievement and loyalty in public
service. Later he was her chosen
representative in the national con-
congress where his service exempli-
fled superior order OF statesman
ship. Still later, through the years
of stress and strain when our coun-
try was passing through the dark
and burdensome period of war, no
man in Iowa did more to keep the
fires of patriotism and loyalty burn
ing in the hearts of the people. His
irresistible eloquence rang over the
state and inspired and heartened her
citizens for all the activities neces-
sary to achieve great and final vic
tory
During all the years of his matur-
ity he has subrodniated private in
terest to the public welfare. He
has achieved success both in public
and private life, and is approaching
the full maturity of the high order
of talent and ability which so emin-
emily fits him for the highest spheres
of public service. In this period OF
unrest and reconstruction Iowa needs
one of her strongest sons as her
chief executive: one with mature
judgment, skilled in diplomacy and
statecraft, and one who can graphic
with great economic problems. Re
eognizing in our fellow citizen all
these great qualities, the people OF
Monroe county commend him with
out reservation to all the people OF
Iowa for nomination as her next gov
ernor. We can give ready assur-
ance that such nomination means
an election by an overwhelming
vote, and that under his guidance
her people and her institutions will
continue to go forward in all great
achievements that mean happiness.
progress. prosperity and content for
her people.
elm presenting the resolution Mr..
Mabry said that more than one sec
ond would be received on the adop-
tion of the resolution. This was
done so that any one present desir-
ing to express their sentiments on
Mr.. Kendall's candidacy could do so.
This was splendid thought on the
part of Mr.. Mabry and there were
many responses. Among them
were John F. Abegglen, Charles =.
Miller. Fred ID. Everett. Hon. W. r.
Giltner. Mayor Hickenlooper, e. G.
Sloan. DIR. Eschbach, J. e. Benton. ].
B. Williams and others. All attested
to the high esteem in which they
held their fellow citizen and that
they were greatly pleased to have
an opportunity to second his nomina-
tion to the highest office In the gift
Of the people of the Hawkeye state.
"The resolution was then adopted
by rising vote"
