COMMENTS OF THE PRESS
ON THE SENATORSHIP
Editor Hoogenakker of the Audi
bon Republican Is actively pursuing
his campaign as Republican candi-
! date for state senator from his dis
trict. He is man of integrity.
and honor and any support given
him will not be regretted by any
member of the Republican party
Keokuk County News.
II. ]. Hoogenakker, editor of the
Audubon Republican will be a candi-
date for state senator in Audubon
county. He is a bright, clean
young man who would faithfully and
ably represent his constituency. But
he ought to know enough to compre-
bend that it is better to be a good
editor than to hold any office the
state has to bestow, and he is a
good editor-one of Iowa's best
New Sharon Star.
The Des Moines daily papers
bring us the information that II. j.
Hoogenakker of Audubon is an
nounced as a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for state senat-
or in his district. The gentleman
is the hustling and ambitious editor
of the Republicans of that place and
deserves well of his party. 1t is
greatly to his credit that he is highly
esteemed personally where he is best
known. There and elsewhere he
will have strong support, and there
is every indication that he will be
formidable candidate. = Keokuk

H. ]. Hoogenakker of the Audi
bon Republican is announced as a
candidate for senator in the district
heretofore represented by Senator
Foster of Guthrie county. Mr..
Hoogenakker is one Of Iowa's most
prominent newspaper editors, a man
OF affairs and big ideas. He is put
forward in this race by other editors
of the district and no doubt the sug-
gestion will be popular with the peo-
pie Of that district. He has an OPP
position candidate in the person of
Representative Mantz of his own
county, but we hope the race will be
an honorable and pleasant one and
that the winner may be the newspa-
per man.-Corn Belt Publisher.
While at the meeting of the state
Press Association in Des Moines re-
Gently we learned that Fl. ]. Hooge-
maker. editor of the Audubon Re-
publican, will be a candidate for
state senator, on the Republican tick
ct before the primaries in his dis
trict in June. He is an able young
man, a splendid representative of
| the young blood of the Republican
party, and will do credit to his coun-
ty If he is nominated and elected. He
comes from sturdy stock, was born at
Pella, Iowa, his parents being Hol-
land Dutch, than whom there are
no better citizens. Himself an ar
dent Republican, he goes before the
people of the Audubon Guthrie-D Dali
las district with a record of party
fealty second to none. He is a
splendid business man, having made
the Audubon Republican one of the
4 best county seat papers in Iowa dur
ing his nine years ownership, and is
wide awake to the best interests of
4 HIS town and county In all he is a
mighty fine feiio.g and should receive
the nomination.-Fremont Gazette.

! While we have no election in the
Cass-Shelby district this year for
state senator, there will be state
senators elected in some of the dis
tricts. To the district north of us
| in the Audubon-Guthrie-D Dallas dis
| trict there is to be a senator elected
and already Mr.. III. ]. Hoognakker,
editor and publisher of the Audubon
republican, has announced himself as
a candidate for the Republican
nomination. We have had the
pleasure of an acquaintance with
Mr.. Hoogenakker for several years
and have always found him to be a
real gentleman, a man of his word,
and an untiring worker for the good
of his county and state. The people
OF that district are to be congratulate
ed on being able to have the privil-
eye Of casting their votes for a man
like Mr. .Hoogenakker for he will be
a worthy successor to Senator Fos-
ter of Guthrie Center. We wish
him success at the polls.-Anita
