Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 15.-Altho the
common expression among repubH-
cans in Iowa now is that this Is rc-
publican year" there are old timers
here and there who are not so sure
Of 1t. They see in the handpicked
candidates whom the democrats are
going to select for the leading places
on their state ticket some siEable
men who may make the republicans
go some unless the republican pri-
maries result in choosing the strong
est men available from the ranks Of
that party's candidates.
AS the slate looks now the demo-
Gratis when they meet here Friday
will choose Clyde Herring OF Des
Moines for governor. Emmett FINLEY,
Of Council Bluffs, for attorney gem
eral, c. B. Murtagh. Of Agona for
lieutenant governor. and probably
Claude Porter, OF Centerville and
Washington, D. c., for United States
senator. II is recognized that these
men are all good campaigners. Fur
thermore there a-e now more voters
in the state who would just as soon
vote for a democrat as a republican
than ever before. This is particular
ly true among the younger voters.
There is more OF d tendency 70 Tot5
for q man than to vote for a party.

the republicans should have d care

The democratic method Of drafting
its candidates has its advantages ov-
er the primary. il is recognized.
Meredith Gossip.
Reports are now that Edwin T.
Meredith, secretary Of agriculture,
may be a candidate for the nominal
ton Of vice president OF the United
States on the democratic ticket. He
Is said to be the choice OF William
Jennings Bryan for president but
may be the running mate Of some
other distinguished member OF the
party.
Hoover boosters here declare the
reports that Hoover will seek dele
gates IN the Iowa convention are all
wrong. They say he ts not going to
make a fight for delegates. He will
depend on the preponderence Of
numbers as shown by the member
ship in his clubs to win him the
nomination.
In so far as the Iowa delegation to
the national convention is concern
ed It win be for Lowden. As to who
will be second choice there seems to
be considerable difference Of opinion.
The Hoover people seem sure that
Il will be Hoover and the Woods
followers are certain 1t will be Woods.

DISCOVERS GLACIAL AREAS.
Iowa Professor Says Lansing Was
Only Place Which Escaped Ice.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City. April l5.-Lansing and
Iowa townships n the extreme
northeastern corner Of Allauakee
county and the state of Iowa are the
not covered with ice az some time
during the glacial epoch which closed
about 10000 years ago. It has al
ways been supposed that a consider
able area along the Mississf1r river
in Jackson. Dubuque, DelaweN Clay y
ton, Fayette, Winnebago and Ala
makee counties had escaped glacia-
ton, but Prof. A. ]. Trowbridge OF the
department Of geology of the univer-
sity Of Iowa has found glacial de-
posits over the whole area except in
the two townships mentioned. Fur
Their, he has reduced from 10000
square miles to about 5000 the area
in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois. and
Iowa supposed to be non glaciated;
most OF this area now lies On Wis

failed to cover the land on which no
glacial drift is found.
Prof. Trowbridge declares that an
earlier conception Of Iowa as an ex-
tremely rough country before the gla-
cial epoch is not correct; that rough
rocky country was not smoothed by
the grinding pressure of ice over the
surface Of the rocks. When the first ice
came the Mississippi river basin was
practically flat, and the river itself
was not present. Later the upper
portion Of the valley was uplifted
about 500 feet streams cut in. and
drainage was developed The begin
ming OF the glacial epoch was prob
ably million years ago, he says.
