The Democratic Candidate

Mr.. Clyde l.. Herring's youth
was spent in Michigan. There he
learned the manufacturing ieweler's s
trade while still in his teens; and
IN answer to an advertisement in a
Detroit paper, he rode his bicycle
eighty miles to get the job. He
was successful; and while employed
IN this store, he became acquainted
with Henry Ford, who brought in
watch to be repaired.
He finally gave up the jewelry
business and came to Iowa where
he settled on Cass county farm.
He was successful as farmer, or
at least successful enough to order
a car directly from Mr.. Ford when
the latter went into the business of
making autos. Thus their friend
ship was renewed; and the outcome
OF it was that Mr.. Herring gave up
his farm and became the Ford
dealer in Atlantic. Later he re-
moved to Des Moines where his Or
ganizatlon took over the distribu-
tlon of Ford cars for the state of
Iowa. Needless to say, his busi-
ness has grown to stupendous pro-
portions; and his success here has
stamped him as man of far more
than usual business ability.
1t is to be noted that MIR. Her.
ring is not a politician in any sense.
In fact, he has in the past been
nearly independent in politics,
though he has shown democratic
leanings.
In general the platform upon
which be stands is similar to that
OF the republicans. At least four
OF the five principal planks are
nearly identical in the two plat
forms. There is a disagreement as
to the fifth, the democrats defend
ing the primary law and asking
that it be perfectly rather than re-
pealed.
The really large issue of the
campaign has to do with the
cleaning up of the State House,
which is known to shelter many
incompetent men, appointed by the
present governor apparently not
because of their ability, but because
OF their influence in politics and
their value to their administra
tion's political machine. Mr. Her.
ring pledges himself unreservedly
to put an entirely y new force on the
job, selected only with regard to
efficiency and ability, and without
any consideration OF party allie.
glance. His election would doubt
less mean tremendous upheava
in the state house.

The Republican Candidate

MIR. n. b. Kendall republican
candidate for governor, was born
in Greenville, Lucas county, Iowa,
fifty-two years ago last March His
childhood was spent in the country
and he had no other education than
that of the rural district school. AT
the age of nineteen, he forsook the
farm and took up the study of law
at Abba, the county seat of Mon
roe county, which adjoins his native
county OF Lucas county on the east.
Here he was admitted to the bar;
and here he has practiced law ever
since, save at such times as the
several political offices which he
has held have interfered with the
pursuit of his profession.
His first public office was the
city attorneyship of Abba. After
this, he was county attorney of
Monroe county for two terms.
These three terms of service seem
to have been served out with n ten
years of the time that he went as q
boy to Abba to study law. For at
the age of twenty nine, he was
elected to the lower house of the
Iowa General Assembly where he
remained for five successive terms,
during one of which he was speaker
of the house of representatives.
At about the same time, he served
three terms on the republican state
central committee. In 1909 when
his fifth term in the Iowa legisla-
ture expired, be was elected to the
United States Congress-, which Of
flee he held for two terms.
He stands squarely on the repub-
llcan state platform, whose five
main planks are:
% The material relief of sol
diers Of the world war.
(2) A policy to foster and inn
prove Iowa agriculture.
(3) Better conditions for work
lngmen in the industries.
(4) A more rigid and effective
blue y law.
(5) Repeal OF the primary law.
Mr.. Kendall is a man of fine
appearance and has rare gift as a
public speaker. His record in pol
ltics seems clean. 1t is perhaps not
unfair to say that his grasp of large
public questions seems little dis
appointing. He is credited with
considerable wealth, a large part OF
which, according to the Journal
information, came by his wife.

OUR WEATHER EYE
Which Shall 1t Be?

In national affairs, the republicans
have, and apparently ought to have,
everything pretty nearly their own
way this year. In state affairs, how
ever, the situation does not seem to
be so one-sided.
Voters may as we'll understand
that the great task that confronts
them in state affairs this year is to
purge the state house of its corrup-
ton. During the present admins
tration, there have been altogether
TOO many scandals and too many
cases of incompetence, inefflclency
and dishonesty. A member of the
parole board has resigned under
pressure. A secretary of state has
been removed. The governor has
been compelled to defend himself
publicly againt the charge of selling
pardons. \ bank examiner has
apparently become wealthy by
sharing in the loot of innocent in
vestors in blue sky companies.
Other officials have, if we may be-
lieve what appear to be authentic
reports, profitcd largely by using
their official positions and station
cry in inducing the gullible public
TO put money into wildcat invest
Alents. Even the governor, himself,
has been announced as the presl-
dent of a company which seems to
belong to this class. Besides these,
there have been yelled rumors of
other cases of similar nature, which
seem the easier to believe because
OF the known records of many men
who have been appointed to state
offices. 1t is not putting it too
strongly to say that the state house
seems honeycombed with graft and
should be cleaned up.
The question is how to perform
the task in the surest and most
effective way In view of the facts
that Mr.. Kendall has said so little
of the shameful situation which is
known to exist, that he belongs to
the same political faith and so
would probably seek to prevent
further disclosures, and of the fur
ther fact that he, too, can almost
be put down as a professional politi-
clan, the journal finds it hard to
believe that he would do very
thoroughly the job that needs to be
done. On the other hand, in view
both of Mr.. Herring's record and
his unreserved promises to make
the job thorough one, it is much
easier to think that he is the man
to whom it should be intrusted.
If we forget politics and think
only Of what is best for the state
at large, as all good citizens ought
to do, Mr.. Herring unquestionably
seems to be the logical choice for
the governorship of Iowa.

I'm THE DAYS NEWS

An unusual record of public service
is that of the Hon. George H. Murray,
who today enters upon his twenty-fifth
year as Premier of Nova Scotia. AL
though he had had but few years of
experience in public life when called
to the premiership he soon gave evil
dence of abilities of high order, with
the result that his administration has
been continued in power for much
longer period than has been the aver
age in provincial politics in the Do
minion. Mr.. Murray was born at
Grand Narrows, N. s., in 1861, and af-
ter receiving such schooling as his
home town afforded he went to Boston
University to secure training for the
law. At the age of 22 he was called to
the Nova Scotia bar and four years lat
er he made his debut in politics as an
unsuccessful candidate for the Pro-
vincial legislature The year 1889 saw
his entry into public office as a men,
Der of the Legislative Council of Nova
Scotia. In 1891 he was appointed a
member Of the Field Administration,
without portfolio, and five years later
he succeeded Mr.. Fielding as Premier.

Alabama Women Tells League
Convention of ProblemsiThat
Face South.

The slogan of the League Of Women
Voters is IAN Educated Electorate by
193O", said Mrs Solon Jacobs, of Bir-
mingham, Ala, national secretary OF the
organization, speaking to the regional
convention here. Incidentally, Mrs. Jacobs
is Democratic national commltteewoman
from her state and left here Saturday
night for San Francisco where she will
endeavor to get into the Democratic
national platform plans which are favor
ed by the League of Women Voters.
Declaring that the women of the
south have greater problems than nave
those of the north, Mrs. Jacobs told
the convention that southern women
need the aid, counsel and moral support
of the women Of the north in their
efforts to secure improved conditions
for themselves and for their children.
Cite War Experience.
The need for an educated electorate,
Mrs. Jacobs said, had been emphasized
by the nations war experience, when
it had been found that one in four men
read and write.
Mrs. Jacobs declared that one of the
big problems of the South was child
labor and another was the problem OF
poverty.
The speaker complimented Montana
on its school system and said that many
southern states could not provide the
money needed to give such excellent
school facilities.
For cumpuNory Education.
Mrs. Jacobs stated that the league, is
in favor of an effective compulsory edu-
cation law for every state and that the
English language shall be, taug hit in all
schools. 1t favors, also, the educational
tests for the voter and of printed in
structions that will be helpful to the
foreign born citizen in understanding the
America government idea. 1t favors, also,
she said, the direct citizenship privilege
for women.
