FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
Cedar Rapids Journalist Launches
First public Reference to Sen
ator FraIIey for Hishef
Position.

Senator Joseph R Frailey, OF Lee
ctunty, is formerly launched as mt
ting candidate for attorney general, by
the writer of a long and carefully
written article in that old standby OF
the republican party. the Cedar Rapids
Republican.
The article discusses the various
candidates for governor and United
States senator, and they says:
The prospective list of candidates
for nomination as attorney general or
the state. by the republican party, has
been enlarged during the past few
days by the mention Of the names OF
Senator Joe r. FTailey, Of Lee county,
and senator W. T. Evans, of Butler
county Neither senator has given Of
fetal sanction to the use of his name.
The nomination will be made in the
state convention of the party. The
candidacy of Senator c. w. Whitmore
has already been announced. In the
old days when conventions were the
ruling powers In fixing and balancing
state tickets a great deal OF attention
was always given to the geography OF
the state. If this prediction should
hold good in the reincarnation OF the
convention idea next year, Senator
I,vans, though one of the most popular
men in that body, will be handicapped
by the fact that his home is In the
third district which will already have
the Offices OF secretary OF state and
treasurer of state, w. c. Ramsey and
E H. Hoyt, both OF whom will be can
didates for denomination. The same
difficulty may face the aspiration OF

gresham N E. Kendall win out In

WASHINGTON, April 14--Repubii-
cans expect to be too busy In the
next congress "wiping out the bad
things" to destroy any of the good
democratic legislation" their lead
ers said today
Answering the challenge made by
a democrat that the republicans
would repeal progressive legisla-
ton passed during the regime OF
President Wilson, House Republican
Leader Mondell declared the nine
biggest constructive laws enacted by
congress during the eight years OF
democratic control will not be de
stroyed or crippled by the forth.
coming republican congress.
Extension and amplification OF
some of the laws in question may be
undertaken, he said, but no formal
program looking to this end has been
formulated.
'1f there is anything good that has
come from the eight years of demo
cratic control" said Mondel, I'VE will
let it stand.
1--WE viii be busy enough wipins
cut the bad things. Anyhow, many
of the laws which are being claimed
by the democrats as theirs were dis
cussed and urged for years and II
was merely happensiance that the
democrats were in power when they
were enacted"
Mondell offered the federal reserve
as an illustration of this.
While this law was enacted in q
democratic congress, he said the
foundation for 1t was laid by the re
port of Senator Aldrich, republican. IN
the congress preceding its enact
ment.
Conservative republicans helped
the trainers Of that law fight off radi
