[By Ora Williams.] Des 'Moines, June 8.—When the complete table of the repub lican primary vote of June 3 goes into the Red Book it will disclose a serious Indictment against the voters of the state and the most conspicu ous weakness of the primary system of maJting nominations for state of fice. The first lesson of the primary is that a vast majority of the voters do not vote Intelligently and that the avenues thru which they ought to be informed as to candidacies and issues are badly clogged. When candidates carry counties in which they are to tally unknown, as against men much better known, as in this case, it is certain that ignorance was the con trolling factor. The figures will show this occurred in many cases. To one who has followed t"ne course of the campaign, so far as shown in the newspapers, this is not surprising. In many counties of the state the voters would never know, from a reading of their newspapers, that there was any campaign in progress. There are daily republican newspapers, and scores of weekly newspnpers. that never during the progress of the campaign made the crs as tQ whRt g0 nR on state afrajrs and t0 onlv a verv limited tent ag to ]oca 1 ar -r,e congratulated upon the venture, to only a very limited extent was his as to saloon influence.

They ""t- avoided politics as if it was a plague. Their readers went to the polls ignor ant. If the primary law is to be saved from utter destruction in Iowa steps will have to be taken to see that the better informed as to can of the school is to show bisr vote an accident or due to con- feed in good condition. V. hilp the tables show that the fi] those who are interested in the welfare of their party. The surprise of the primary, as dis closed in the returns, is the vote on secretary of state, but this illustrates ences may easily work to effect many votes. It will be found that the big majorities or votes for each candidate were where his rame came first on the ballots. This had quite as much in- not a great many of the voters gave much attention to candidacies down the line. But on governor there was 3 real contest and yet there are some well be explained.

MAaeqaAM/IOWir, IOWA? JUNE 8 1912 rf'j :il •u that defeated him. There never was the slightest excuse for any such sug gestion in the campaign or following It. Neither will it be shown by the tables that the farming communities were es pecially favorable to Holden. Here are twelve counties in which the Corn Belt Meat Producers' Association, and simi lar organizations backing Holden, are strong: Sac, Tama, Ida, Greene, Buena Vista, Monona, Calhoun, Wash ington, Cass, Adams, Scott and Hum boldt. Yet in these counties Clarke had a plurality of 2,897 or practically 60 per cent of the vote. If the Seventh district alone is footed up, where the influence of the Holden organs was supposed to be greatest, it will be found that Clarke had an enor mous majority. If it is contended that one should go far away to find out the real sentiment of the people, take the four corner counties of the state, and in them Clarke had a big lead. But the situation in Webster, Black hawk, Muscatine, Boone and some oth er counties, where an abnormally large vote for Holden was given, can only be explained on some theory not con nected at all wtih the spurious "liquor issue" which the anti-Clarke manager dragged into the campaign by main force. There is no doubt that on a fair vote with the issues welJ understood Webster woudl have given Clarke a big majority, even as Marshall and Cerro Gordo did. What was the explanation of the Holden plurality there? Robert Healy says that on the last day before the vote was taken the minds of the farmers were poisoned by a circular sent to each and every one in which it was represented that Clarke is in favor of increasing the taxes of the farmers. The circulars were not discovered until it was too late to get the truth to the voters. It was an old trick of the politicians successfully worked. A week before, the farmers would have voted intelligently, but at the last mo ment they were given an utterly false and inexcusable statement regarding Clarke, and this inured to the benefit of Holden. That there was general use made of this scheme by the anti-Clarke com mittee is shown by a copy of the Ames Intelligencer which reports that on the last day of the campaign a party of Holden campaigners wrent out in auto mobiles to tour the county with Holden and one of the speakers, probably an otherwise reputable person, told the farmers that Clarke had said that the farmers are not paying their just pro portion of the taxes. It is also said that a farm paper gave wide circula tion to this transparent falsehood for the purpose of misrepresenting Clarke to the people of the state. On elec tion day it became known to the pro gressive committee that hundreds .of thousands of the circulars making this attack on Clarke had been mailed otit the last week. Of course there was never the slight est foundation for-™«Miy such asser tions, for Clarke is a conservative man on taxation matters, himself a tax payer on farm land, which his compet itor, is not, and Clarke ne\er at an time ever gave utterance to anything that could be construed into a declara tion that farmers oii£ht 16 pay a larger share- of taxes. But the canard did its work. However, It only illustrated the character of tho entire campaign which had been carried on against Clarke for a year or more. Another thing about the vote on gov ernor is plainly evident. In some way the word got out to the standpatters to go solidly for Holden. and in many places they did so. In one precinct in central Iowa there were 38 votes cast for Holden and 32 of them were on ballots having the name of Young for senator marked. In a precinct re ported in the Eighth district of the votes for Young 90 per cent were also cast for Holden. So also in many other places. Another thing was the fact that in many places, so reports indicate, Holden and Van Duyn were coupled up together: and of course in rranv places the effort was made to swing all tho Kenyon votes to Holden on the theory that since the organ which assumed to leadership for Ken yon was the sole advocate of Holden the interests of the two were identical. But at no time did the senator or his close friends sanction any such ar rangement. But for the fact of the sending out of the malicious attacks upon Clarke in the closing days of the campaign and the spending of a vast sum to misrepresent him to the public, his vote would have gone over the 100,000 mark. As for the vote on senator, It is so evenly scattered over the state that it shows only the completeness of the victory. The big majority for Kenyon was a majority gained for him by the vote of men who are, or have been, classed as standpatters. They Joined with the progressives to honor a high minded, clean, capable, well trained young man, or rather to give the party and the state the benefit of his ser vices. In cxactly thp same manner, and for the same reasons, these same standpatters, or former standpatters, joined the aggressive young progres sives of the state in drafting for ser vice Governor Clarke. If it shall be said that Clarke owes his nomination to standpatters it can also be said the same of Kenyon. But in both cases the real significance ot- the pilmary is that of a general trend toward progressive principles and a breaking down of fac tional lines. the college a set of chimes that will cost something like $3,000.

Cowdrey, a man about 54 years of age, disappeared from his home in Cambridge on May 5, and since that time nothing has been heard of him. The cause for his dis appearance is a mystery as he had no domestic or business troubles so far as is known. He had lived in Cam bridge but a short time, having moved there from Swea City, where he had lived for some time. His wife has re ported the matter to the officers here and they are making an effort to lo cate him. He is thought have had about $100 in cash when he left. He purchased a ticket over the Rock Is land Short Line for Des Moines. Cowdery was a man about 54 years of age, weighs 180 pounds, about five feet ten inches in height, grey hair and blue eyes.

Newton, June 8.—Roy Fiske, former deputy clerk of Newton who was ar rested in April charged with embezz ling the city's funds, paid Into the city treasurer yesterday the sum of $4, 104.59. This amount represents the money he confessed to taking plus the cost of the experts who examined the books and plus the detectives' fees. The county attorney will probably not dismiss the action against the young man, even tho the money was returned. He is indicted on the charge of embezzlement and his trial is set for the- October term of court.

Terrible Accident Befalls Ed Wright Whils Operating a Shelter. Ida Grove, June 8.—Ed, Wright, a weil known farmer near Cushing. was the victim of a terrible accident in which his hand was instantly torn off at his wrist. Wright operates a corn shelling outfit and was at the Claude Anderson farm near Midway. All prep arations had been made to begin, shell ing and Wright was slipping the belt on the flywheel to start up, when in pulling out the clutch his hand was caught under the belt and over the clutch. The hand was severed at the wrist and fell to the floor. Before Wright could be extricated the muscles of the lower arm were torn apart and the humorous bone dislocated at the elbow, being torn from the socket. Charles Evans Hughes, associate Justice United States supreme court and former governor of New York, may be inated for president at tlie Republican national convention to be held in Chi cago next mouth. Justice Qugbes is not a candidate. He tins repeatedly said so. But if the delegates, figuring that neither President Taft nor Colonel Roosevelt would be desirable candidate because of tbe Ditternuss engender ed during the preconvention campaign, should nominate Justice Hughes he would practically be compelled to accept, since a nomination to the presidency of the United States hns never been declined. fs„i of the nom cator is more criminally engaged than if he had passed the evaning in the idle gossip of society, In the feverish pursuits of ambition or ln tbe unsated and insatiable struggle after gain:— Walter Scott Carelessness Causes Bad Writing. Talking of handwriting—an indus trious Journalist, who writes all his sopy legibly with his own right hand, said that he couldn't understand why anyone should not write legibly. It vas quite as easy as writing the oth er way. Only you had to learn It young. Once you get the careless habit with the pen or pencil you cause endless confesion. And you cannot cure the silly habit of illegible writing when you grow rather proud of it. There Is an .argument for tbe reten tion of the writing master at school. Money Value of Women. If you are a married woman, and were asked to tell ]uBt what you were worth in bard cash to your husband, what figure would you name? The question is not a fanciful one by any means, but has been a subject of Ju dicial consideration. It was this way: The wife of an Iowa farmer bought a gallon of what purported to be kerosene, but which was afterward shown to be 21 per cent, gasoline. When the woman used {some of it to start a fire with the stuff exploded, and she was burnt to death land her three children were seriously injured. The woman's husband sued the dealers for damages, and the jury awarded him $25 for tbe loss of his wife and $299.71 per child on account of injuries. The defendants evidently thought that a woman was not worth $25, for they took an appeal from tbe verdict. The learned court, however, declined to look at it in that light, and the Judgment was affirmed.—New York Mail. Temple of Lord's Prayer.
