Eagle Grove, March l6.-The Eagle
Grove Eagle announces the candi-
dacy of W. c. Ramsay for the re-
publican nomination OF secretary OF
state, "A position which Mr. Ramsay
Is now filing with credit. SO far no
ether candidate has appeared. The
Eagle strongly endorses Mr.. Ramsay
as follows:
THE Eagle feels that it ought not
to be necessary, except as for
mality prescribed by custom, to an
nounce that Walter c. Ramsay, of
this county will be a candidate for
the position of secretary OF state for
Iowa. We feel that ii ought not TO
be necessary for two reasons: The
first is that Mr.. Ramsay was APP
pointed secretary of state by Gov
ernor Harding last April. succeeding
to the vacancy in that office by
reason of the resignation OF the for
mer incumbent, and that he is there
lOEt IutlSlS NoiiibiSNAhS NV '>->
pired term of his predecessor, his
appointment receiving the endorse
ment of the entire membership of the
Thirty eighth general assembly.
The second is that aside entirely
from all political consideration Mr..
Ramsay is making an admirable
secretary of state. efficient, wholly
trustworthy, attentive TO the duties
imposed upon him, resulting in a
very noticeable Improvement in the
work of the department under his
supervision.
1--WE who know Mr.. Ramsay know
that Iowa has never had a more de-
pendable, upright official, nor has il
ever been represented in official life
by q man of higher type of character
and purpose. When we say this We
are simply stating the truth. The
circumstances under which he as
sumed office and the integrity of the
service he has rendered entitle him,
in all fairness, to an unopposcd
nomination and election, and it will
be the Judgment of the people of the
state, we have no doubt that any
ATTEMPT to defeat him for purely
political or partisan reasons would
be an injustice to capable and
generous minded official"

One Of tho most noteworthy fea-

of travelling statesmen who have been
benefited by Its use.
From Maine to California, and
from the Gulf to the northern portion
Of Canada, men representing almost

to having used the medicine with the
most astonishing and gratifying re-
suits.

the medicine with friends at the Bry-
son drug store In Cedar Rapids the
other day. Mr.. Gordon said:
There may be other medicines IA
good as Tanlao for troubles like
had, but have never been able to
find them and have been trying for
eight years to ret relief. There was
constant burning sensation. like
fire. in my stomach and every time
I ate anything l would suffer for
hours from the gas which formed on
my stomach. My nerves were so up
set that I could never get any real
sound sleep and had become 30
run down and weak that it hooked
like 1 was going to be compelled to
give up my work on the road.
But Tanlac has turned things
right about for me. had not fin
ished my first bottle until began
to straighten right up. and five bot
ties have put men in shape to where
I have picked up ten pounds In
weight and am feeling like my old

Everywhere go they're talking

that Roth had secured a lead of two

this newly organized bank and it's
promoters. j. Greteman and others,
have appealed to the retrenchment
and reform committee as the law
provides.
This law, passed by the Thirty

the state superintendent Of banking
to deny or decline to issue a certifi-
cate of authority to q proposed bank
to commence business If after max
ing an investigation at shall be his

that the public necessity convenience

character and general fitness of the
persons named as officers and stock
holders is such as not to command
the confidence of the community In
which such bank or trust company
Is proposed to be loated."
