Abba, Aug. IN. q. Kendall, re-
publican nominee for governor of
Iowa. will make hin campaign for
election on the san,s declaration of
principles that served him during his
campaign for nomination. In an au-
thorized interview with representa-
Atives OF Iowa newspe.rers at his home
here today. he made It plain that his
views on important public questions,
expressed frequently in public ad-
dresses, coincide with the declara-
stionA OF the republican platforms
adopted by the national and state
conventions, and in,ieed, go some
tons In some particulars.
Endorsed Plan Long Ago.

vention last week. demanded reor-
sanitation Of the state government

departments and commissions. credit
Ing the plan to the d emacratic nomf-
nee for governor. Pe1usal Of several
eof Mr.. Kendall's addresses, made
during the months preceding the pri.-
mary election, shows that he de-
clared for a reorganization Of state
affairs as early as last year. after
having made a close study of the
methods followed SO successfully by
Governor Frank o. 14owden Of I'LL
I hois. In numerous speeches In 1919. at
Sioux City Waterloo and elsewhere,
Mr.. Kendall told his hearers of the
Illinois plan and its success and
pledged himself, II elected governor. to
bring about similar changes. in Iowa.
He told on these occ,,sions Of the re-
nnarkable success Of tile Lowden adj
ADMINISTRATION on the score OF economy,

Not Democratic Issue.
It 70 obvious, Mfr. H.endalIs friends
say. that altho the democratic can
sdidats may b commended for his
sespousal Of plan already advo-
scated II explicit terms by the re-
3 publican nominee and approved by

stbap to appropriate sc - a demo-
cratic s1ssue." owing to the fact
that Mr.. Kendalps speeches prove

Governor Lowden's methods in Iowa,
