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

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.

Have Started For Des Moines.
Cambridge, June 8.—B. 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. Whether he is out in
quest of work and has merely neglect
ed to notify his wife or has met with

$4,100.
Newton, June 8.—Roy Fiske, former
deputy clerk of Newton who was ar

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.
Point of View
When the necessity ot dally labor
Is removed and the call of social duty
fulfilled, that of moderate and timely
amusement claims its place as a want
Inherent in our own nature. To re
lieve this want and fill up the mental
vacancy games are devised, books are
written, music Is composed, spectacles
and plays are Invented and exhibited.
And tt these plays have a moral and
virtuous tendency If the sentiments
expressed are calculated to rouse our
love of what la noble, and our con
tempt of what Is base and mean If
they unite hundreds la a sympathetic
admiration of virtue, abhorrence ot

HAND TORN OFF IN ACCIDENT.
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.

if
the delegates, figuring that neither President Taft nor Colonel

he

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.
Perhaps the most interesting, surely
the most exquisite, house of prayer ln
the world Is the Little Temple of the
Lord's Prayer in Palestine, erected on
the spot where it is believed the Sav
ior taught his prayer to the disciples.
The little temple is of pure white
marble, with simple straight lines, dis
tinctly unlike the architecture of the
Orient. "Our Father which art in
heaven" In every known language is
carved on the walls and columns, and
is the only decoration of this supreme
ly lovely place. To see it ln the soft
opal twilight of the east, or at moon
light, or in the earliest dawn, is to un
derstand the matchless words of the
Master translated into marbVe.—Chris
tian Herald.
Think It Over.
The traditional fool and his
are lucky ever to have got together la
the first place.—Pock.
