pttms 4 CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

Mr.. ]. F.. Deems, OF Burlington. re-
Gently federal food administrators FOR
Iowa. has concluded TO run for the re-
publican nomination for governor ana
so announces In a letter in which ne
makes definite statement OF his pur-
pose. In his announcement he recites
his qualifications for the office ana MS
platform as more direct simple ana
economical methods OF conducting the
business and executive affairs OF the
state. and ever mindful Of the duty one
owes the state" offers TO the state as
governor the very best that IS in me
as the result Of a large and varied
experience in business and executive
life. the enjoyment OF perfect health
and an infinite capacity and love Ior
just plain, hard work.
Mr.. Deems was candidate for gov
ernor in a previous campaign, has been
food administrator during the opera
ton Of the food control, was formerly
an official of the Burlington railroad.
His candidacy for the sovernorshlp
was started before the food administra-
ton had dissolved 10y a gathering
comprised largely of food admialstra-
ton appointees. He is doubtless en-
Couraged by friends and well wishers
over the state.
However, between Kendall and Moore
and Rawson the prospect for his nom
ination does not seem TO be allurins
OF course the gubernatorlal candida
cies are still up in the air but if those
three mentioned are candidates the
chances are that Mr.. Deems vote will
:au behind all of theirs. In a battle
royal of that character Mr. Deems
could scarcely hope to finish among the
first three. However his candidacy
will have its bearing upon the result
between those leaders If they shall run
n its effect upon the southeastern
Iowa vote and along the lines of the
Burlington IN southern Iowa where
Deems acquaintance - widest and
most favorable.
The conclusion is that Mr.. Deems
has sat into very tight game.

There is not the least doubt in any
mind that the United States would de-
fend civilization against the aggression
Of any other nation, not the least
douM that the allied nations that have
completed one defence of human rights
would do the same thing over again
when stern necessity demanded. The
United States would enter earlier than
il did in this latest assault upon civ
ilization. II would enter, its authorita-
tive protest when Belgium was in
vaded instead of promulgattng slogan
for party campaign purposes that We
had been kept out OF war or chortllng
that the war was 5000 miles away
from America" We have proved that
we are not too proud TO fight for the
rights of civilization and against a
menace TO our own peace and freedom.
That menace existed when Liege fell.
when France was invaded, wnen fem
mist and pacifist votes were flocking
to indorse pacifist utterances. We have
learned our lesson. Why would we not
do again an more quickly that which
We have done when the civilization OF
the world is threatened and military
strength assails the weak without
cause?
Let us have peace. The world lacks
and needs peace and order at once. Let
us cease to drift. We can then argue
covenants much better and to a larger
and defined purpose of good.
