Talk Of Combinations.

Rumors of combinations between
candidates fly fast and thick as the
convention date approaches. So far
there is no positive evidence that any
of the candidates have made any po-
litical trades, but positive knowledge
is in hand showing that alliances and
trades between candidates are sought,
in some instances quite eagerly.
F. F. Faville of Fort Dodge is de-

Judge Winfield S. Winthrow, Mt.
Pleasant has some Of the strongest 20
llitical ring generals of the first con-
gressional district. He has refused to
;ressional distrigct favoring his nomi-
nation. He has refused to enter into
trades or combinations and declares
the outlook good.
| There is no one candidate of the
eleven who can be said to be certain
of being nominated. With the field
of delegates fairly evenly divided be-
tween the candidates, no one man con-
trolls enough delegates to put himself
across a winner.
1t can be said as a positive fact that
no members of the court bench
will show any interest in Judge Sal
inger's campaign. Several have ex-
pressed themselves as being against
! his denomination, but will not make
any active fight against him.
! These judges shrink from airing for
publication any political opinion as it
may relate to Judge Salinger. They
do not wish to bring into the judicial
convention or state election any ex-
preston which might be interpreted
as direct action against a candidate
who is now on the bench.
| Advantage to Other Candidates.
I This situation is being used to some
advantage by several Of the candidates
now seeking denomination. On the
plea that absolute harmony should
prevail, they ask that the delegates
nominate them in place of Judge Sal
niger. Opposition to Salinger has
also developed the past three weeks
in various sections of the state. It is
the type of opposition that cannot be
brought into line for the Judge.
through the medium of another can
didate. On the other hand, Salinger
will probably hold more of his orig
inal first roll call delegates than any
of the other candidates, as his politi-
cal followers are intensely loyal to
his cause.
The judicial convention at Cedar
Rapids will be the first to be held
under the new provisions Before
the nonpartisan primaries for Judge
were inaugurated supreme court judg-
es were selected in convention, along
with other candidates on the state
ticket Now they have a judicial
convention, apart from the state con-
vention proper.

Nice to Shop Here

This is generally known as the day

windows in our large addition permits
pleasing flood of natural light and even
when we resort to electricity our special
globes throw out blush tone very much

full, satisfying matter to select garments
here because of the modern light features
Many of our patrons have remarked the
fact and we are delighted that our efforts
to make this a truly comfortable place in
which to shop are bearing fruit.

forms the upper part of the wrap.

the feeling that in the privacy of these
rooms our filters are giving undivided at
