1t will be recalled that some time
ago the Herring organs were being
filled with the effusions OF one Rev.
]. Edward Kirbye, who was, but is
no longer connected with big Des
Moines church. He was featured as
a sort of Daniel going forth with q
little sling to slay the monster OF
private graft. He was going to an
nihilate the Republican party by his
fierce attacks, and he was upholding
Herring as his very able saint.
Then, it will be recalled, he was
forced to admit that while he was
drawing "a fancy salary as minister
he was being paid $4,000 month
on the side for collecting money
from Iowa people desirous Of helping
the poor Belgian orphans Then,

The Above Score Was the Result OF
the Foot Ball Game Between
Luther and Campion Satur-
day
LUTHER HAS STRONG
TEAM THIS YEAR
Next Game With Winona State Nor.
NAL at Deoorah ON Saturday
Oct. 10 at College Grounds

Luther opened it's foot ball season
on Saturday with Campion College
at Prairie du Chem, Wis. Luther re.
ceived the ball at the kick off and
carried the ball sixty yards to their
opponents twenty yard line. Cam
rion held here and Luther lost the
ball. Campion made downs once and
on their second trial pulled a sue
cessful fake forward pass on the
fourth down which brought the ball
| Well into Luther's territory. Luther
got the ball back in quick shape
however, and from then on held the
ball in Campion's half of the field
practically all the time. In the middle
of the field Luther made downs al
most at will. Campion held at their
fifteen or twenty yard line, and Luz
theirs four attempts at scoring from
the field via the air all failed, two
of the kicks being blocked, and two
missing the posts by few feet. Only
once did Luther lose the ball on
downs out of reach of the goal fore
ing punt. With a minute left to
play Luther lost the ball on an pn-
successful drop kick by o. Sorlein,
Campion getting the ball on the
twenty yard mark. McCabe, Left Half
for Campion got away for seventy
yards on a run around right end,
Peterson Just forcing him off the
field at the ten yard line. The ball
was brought in twenty yards. With
only half a minute left to play and
the ball too far to the side to at
tempt kick, Campion opened up
with two forward passes. Nordgaard
intercepted the second pass, and the
game ended with the ball in Luther's s
possession on the ten yard line.
The game was remarkably clean
and free from fouling. The Luther
men handled the ball well, making
only one tumble in the entire game,
although they had the ball most OF
the time. Luther's difficulty was hit
ting in the pinches. Peterson's quar-
ter back plunges and open field run
ming Were Luther's best ground
gamers, although Olvin Sorlein also
gained consistently Storyick's tack.
ling several times brought cheers
from the crowd. McCabe's end run
for 70 yards and his forward pass
McCabe to Rink. were the two mos
sensational plays of the game, botf
of them coming near putting the
game on ice. Conlin should also be
credited for his plunging.
After the first game, the out
standing feature of Luther's team /.
its speedy back field. With a stron,
line, they showed that speed makes
up for weight in carrying the ball
Campion must be given credit du
them for holding tight when thei
goal was threatened, although thi
would not have prevented Luthe
from scoring if Luther's kicking ha,
been successful

The Ro = States is So Long That
Repul q an Managers Hesitate
to Xpress Their Full
z Opinions
REPUBL IN SLIDE
Is VERY BROAD
Many States Regarded as Absolutely
Sure for Republicans This Year
As Against Ordinary Years
New York Herald)


One of the. most interesting and
significant Developments of his po-
litical campaign is the extreme con-
servatiism of the Republican claims
in contrast with the freedom and
candor of Democrats of common
sense who concede pretty nearly
everything to Harding and Coolidge.
The truth is that the Republican
slide is so broad and so terrific and
the roll of Harding States so long
that Republican managers and other
experts hesitate to express their full
opinions and estimates lest they
might seem to be indulging in wild
dreams. So many states, moreover,
are regarded as absolutely sure for
the Republicans this year as against
ordinary years, when many of them
always are classed as doubtful until
near the end of the campaign, that
the Republicans see no need of stren-
uously claiming those that are mere
ly reasonably sure. A table, for ex-
ample, by one Of our trained cor
respondents and observers, group
ing voting territory as Harding
states, as Cox states and as doubt
full states puts in the Democratic
column, for the moment, Montana
with three electoral votes, Utah with
four, Arizona with three, New Mex
leo with three, Oklahoma with ten;
And doubtful, Missouri with eighteen,
Colorado With six and Nevada with
three.
But at the very same time great
Democratic newspaper, leading
Wilson organ and an ardent League
champion, is printing the results of
nationwide canvass of votes in
all the shops of tho United Drug
Company. And this canvass to which
such publicity is given by the Demo-
cratic newspaper, shows that thus
far in Montana twice cs many men
canvassed have declared themselves
for Harding as for Cox and two and
half times as many women have
declared themselves for Harding as
for Cox. In Utah thus far the men
declaring themselves - for Harding
outnumbered the men declaring
themselves for Cox by about ten to
seven and the women by more than
two to one.
In Arizona, hitherto regarded as a
Democratic state, the Harding men
voters canyassed outnumbered the
Cox voters canvasSed by four to
three, while the women are about
even. In Missouri the canvass shows
neck and neck race among the men
voters as between Harding and Cox
and only a slight lead for Cox over
Harding among the women canvas
sed In Colorado the canvass shows
one and three-quarters men for
Harding to every one man for Cox
and nearly two women for Harding
to every one for Cox. In Nevada the
men so far have declared themselves
for Harding in the proportion OF
two to one and the women in the
proportion of more than two to one
In the vernacular which is politi'
cal as well as popular, it is like TAX
ing candy from children.

history, the decrease amounting to
Z 1852 or 0.3 per cent.

census reports for the first time in
1S40, when it had a population of
43,112, ranking it as twenty-ninth
among the states and territories. In
area, Iowa ranked as twenty-fourth
