Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Sept. S.-The demo-
Gratis are outdoing the republicans
thus far in Iowa this fail in the mat
ter Of publicity. AS result news
p;I1er readers are reading daily much
more about what the democrats are
doing in the state than they are about
the republicans.
The denocrattic candidate for gov
ernor, Clyde L. Herring, has an ef-
ftctent publicity organization and the
speeches Of the democratic nominee
are furnished to the newspapers.
Nate" Kendall, republican candidate
for governor, has been making
speeches in Iowa for several years
which have won for him an enviable
reputation as an orator. Ii the news
papers get Kendall's speeches at the
time they are delivered 1t is all right
with him, but preparing advance cop
les with release dates on them does
not appear to be in his line. Hence
his speeches do not gain the wide
circulation they otherwise might OBJ
tain.
The democrats are loosing no op-
pe'rtunities to make speeches. Sec
rotary OF Agriculture e. I. Meredith
will reach his home state today and
for the three remaining days OF this
week will devote his time to speech
making in behalf Of Herring for gov
ernor and Claude Porter for United
States senator. Thursday he speaks
at Sidney in Fremont county. FIRE.
mont was the only county in the state
which Meredith carried when he ran
against Harding for governor In 1915.
Or. Friday Meredith and Herring will
appear together in Cass countyfat the
Cass county fair. and on Saturday
they. will campaign together at New
Virginia. IN Warren county.
However, 1t is given out at repub-
iican Headquarters, here that the
speaking campaign on the part Of re-
publicans will start a little later, or
about the middle OF the month. and
the republican side of various public
1 questions will then be put UP to the
voters.
Trying to Benefit Thru Scandals.
The expose OF the affairs Of the
Associated Packing Company and Of
I the Midland Packing Company has
hcstablished the fact that, the promot-s
3ers of these concerns took advantage
Spf such public officials as they could
to aid their stock selling game. The
hearing now being conducted is not
| to. establish the guilt Of those con-
nected with the promotion of the AS
ISOLATED Packing Company. but it Is
on the question of whether or not the
affairs of the company shall be, wound
up Ind the receiver discharged or
the company reorganized. The facts
IRE being seized upon by democrats
to discredit the republican party.
4 Republicans point out, however,
/ that none of the candidates on the
. republican ticket this fall were in any
way connected with stock selling
abuses now being aired and legisla-
ton seeking to prevent any such
promotion in the future is now being
/. planned.
