cialistio forces arc rallying.
There Is one Independent candi-

To defeat the socialists the Great

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. March 17.--with four
candidates for lieutenant governor In
the republican primaries tho nomina-
tion may 80 to the state convention.
This 10 the opinion frequently ex-
pressed by members of the legislature
and others who keep In touch with
the trend Of political sentiment.
Each Of the four republican as
pirants win poll considerable sup
port, II 10 recognised. so that 1t Is not
probable that any one Of them will
poll the necessary IS per cent Of the
vote to win the nomination in the
primaries. The candidates now out
for this nomination are Senator Ar
ney, of Marshalltown: Senator Will
son, Of Centerville; Representative
Moore. Of Guthrie Center. and for
mer Senator Hammill. Of Britt.
The same condition may hold in
the nomination Of governor, with
Kendall, Moore, Havner and Deems
all In the running. However, with
the interest in the sovernorship more
universal than for the other offices
and with the usual tendency to CEN
ter on tho leading candidates as pri-
mary time draws near. it is figured
that the head Of the ticket Is more
apt to be chosen in the primaries
than in the convention.
