There rt'ere n IIoximi As
pirant for the Place,
The republican convention of the Ninth
congressional district of Iowa yesterday
morning nominated by acclamation Judge
Walter I. Smith of this city for thu long
nnd short terms to succeed Hon. Smith Mc
Phcrson of Bed Oak, appointed to the fed
eral bench of tho southern district of thin '
state. Judgo Smith's name alone was pro-1
sented to tho convention, and the nomination
was made amidst n ncene of enthusiasm I
rarely witnessed In this city. Judge Smith
has the distinction of being the first repub-
llcan candidate to be nominated for a llrst 1
term In congress by acclamation In tho his
tory of the Ninth district.
Judgo Smith, on being notified of hl nom-
inatlon and escorted to the convention hall,
was received with prolonged cheering, and
It was some time beforo he could secure tho
attention of tho gathering to extend his
thanks for tho honor. In his address to tho
convention accepting tho nomination, which
was frequently interrupted with loud op
plausc, he said:
I should Indeed liavc a heart incapable of
gratitude If I were not deeply moved by
these continued evidences of your favor and
contldence. This Is not a time for the dis
cussion of political principles. '1 his Is a
time for their enunciation. You ure of the
household of faith and arguments should
be made not to call the righteous but sin
ners to repentance. If elected I shall sup
port that policy of protection to American
Industries llrst established In this country
by Wasnlngton and Hamilton, to tho de
fense of which Henry Clny devoted the best
years of his life, that system which was
Improved and extended by the brilliant
statesmanship of James O. Blaine nnd
which, because he was its greatest living
exponent, made William McKlnley presi
dent of the United Stntos. I shall Insist
upon a single standard and a bimetallic
currency and shall opikjso every schemo
which tends to degrade or debauch the
currencv of the people. I shall maintain
that those Islands which came to us as the
result of the war with Spain, which were
lought with our treasure and -with the more
precious price of American blood shed in a
war with a senil-clvlllzcd poodle, aro ours
forever.
We are opposed to all trusts and other
combinations against trade and commerce
and the present house of representatives
has, by the substantially unanimous vote
of all the republican members, passed a
law for tho suppression of trusts, In which
every existing power under tho federal
constitution Is exercised, nnd the republican
members of the house have supported i
resolution for an amendment to the con
stitution conferring upon congress all
necessary power and authority upon this
subject. This resolution has been defeated
by tho votes of our opponents. They will
have some dllhctlltv in the face of a record
which shows that with substantial
unanimity they stood against the only feas
ible means for the entire repression of the
trust evil, to convince the American peonlo
that they are actually and In good faith
opposed to trusts. It Is Insisted that trusts
havo Increased during the administration
of President McKlnley ami unfortunately
this Is true. It must be borne In mind that
our opponents have dellued trusts as com
binations against trade or commcreo and I
submit to you In all candor who would have
thought of organizing a combination against
trade or commerce during the last adminis
tration of President Cleveland. The forces
of Idleness form no trusts.
In line I shall be a supporter of the ad
ministration of William McKlnley. While I
shall thus be the representative of tho
fundamental principles of republicanism, as
I understand them, I shall ever bear In
mind that wise maxim of a distinguished
chief executive of the nation, "That ho best
serves his party who serves his country
best," and It shall be my constant effort,
to the full extent of my ability, to be the
faithful representative of all the people of
this district who have so highly honored
me.
I accept the nomination which you have
tendered me and thunk you from the bot
tom of my heart.
I'lnlfnrm AtlopOil.
The convention adopted tho following
resolutions:
Bo it resolved, by the republicans of tho
Ninth congressional district of Iowa, In
delegate convention assembled. That oh
tho republican party has successfully
solved all of the great national problems
nun nave necn in etpnicii io me coiiniiy
for nearly fifty years, It can be trusted to
solvo those that aro presented to the
country now. and those which shall arise
In the future. That we have no sympathy
with the declaration that tho people of
the I'nlted States will be Incompetent to
meet any national emergency that may
arise, either at homo or in distant hinds,
and we havo every contldence that our
people can supply statesmen with sulll
clent ability and patriotism to successfully
deal with questions relating to national
Interests, whether such questions arlso at
homo or In our foreign possessions.
Wo view with pleasure the continued
courageous and Impartial method of tho
national administration dealing with tho
intricate and Incessant problems growing
out of the successful issue of tho late
Spanish-American war, and wo congratu
late tho nation on having had at Its head,
during tho critical period of tho last two
years, one of the wisest nnd best magis
trates mat ever prcsiiieu over it. nis au
ministration having been so pre-eminently
nimsiitriury iiiuBiaiuniraiiui iu rani
try that our political adversaries generally
In their private, conversations, indorse It,
while they speak against It in public to
subserve partisan purposes only.
We congratulate tho people of tho na
tion upon tho marvelous prosperity that
prevails amongst them and upon the pros
pect of Its long cotitlnunine, which so
rapidly followed the deplorable conditions
that grew up under the preceding demo
cratic administration.
We congratulate the uatluti upon the
heroism of Its defenders upon land and
sea.
Wo especially renew our devotion and
allegiance to the unalterable republican
principles of protection to American In
dustry nnd the gold standard currency.
Tho republicans of the Ninth congres
sional district are to bo congratulated on
tho distinguished position which their re
cent member. Hon. Smith McPhers bin
attained In so short a time, and, while hit
loss to political action may bo regretted,
the American Judiciary Is to bo congratu
luted on his accession thereto.

When L. S. ltoblnson of Mills county,
chairman of tho congressional committee,
called the convention to order In the su
perior court room, the scene of many a polit

was represented and the room was thronged
by an expectant nnd Interested throng.

Chnlrman Ar(hllr
paid a high tribute to tho
retiring congressman, Hon. Smith Mcl'her

questions now beforo the people, and In con
elusion said he must felicitate the conven

not ready to submit the nnmo of Its member.
Dcli-mito Were (iood Humored.
At this point In tho proceedings some
ono recognized Tobo Smith among tho del
egates, who suddenly achieved immortal
fame at the Mothers' Congresa in Des
Moines by answering Prof. Chrlsman's as
sertion that men did not know what love
really was. There were loud calls for
"Tobo, tho ladles' man," but he was too
modcut and tho cries for a speech wont un
heeded. The convention was in good humor and
ho would probably havo been compelled to
say something had not the committee on
credentials been ready to report. Major
Conslgney, chairman of tho committee, re
ported that there wero no contests, that tho
delegations wero nil full of enthusiasm
and that every county was represontcd.
Tho commlttca on permnnent organiza
tion recommended that tho temporary or
ganization bo made permanent with tho ad
dition of L. M. Shubcrt of Pottawattaralo
n assistant secretary.
Postmaster Treynor of tho Poltawnttnmlo
delegation suggested that tho call of coun
ties bo made for placing In nomination a
candidate for congress. This Chairman Ar
thur said ho thought would bo unnecessary,
but put tho motion all tho same nnd It
curried with a yell.
Delegato W. B. Martin of Adair county
wanted to know whether tho nomination
was for the short or long term. "Both,"
tho convention shouted back at him and
J. J. Hetherlngton from tho samo county
took the Iloor. Ho said- "On bohalf of
Adair county we want to thank tho republi
cans of this district for courtesies frequently
extended to ns nnd Adair county wit-luu
to placo In nomination Judge Walter I.
Smith or Council Bluffs for the long and
short term nnd move that his nomination
bo by acclamation." Then bedlam broke
loose, but In a lull In tho cheering W. A.
Follott of Cass county could bo hoard neo
ondlng the nomination.
When tho cheering had subsided some
what Chairman Arthur said: "This conven
tion nan by acclamation named Walter I.
Smith of Council Bluffs as the standard
bearer of tho Ninth congressional district"
and the cheering broke out afresh.
i.Mnrtln of Adair suggested that a com
mittee be appointed to notify Judge Smith
and escort him beforo the convention. The
chair appointed Mr. Martin as tho com
mittee nnd In a few seconds ho reappeared
with tho nominee, who was received with
tho wildcat enthusiasm.
At tho cloho of Judgo Smith's address there
wore calls for T. B. Swan of Atlantic, who
had at one time been mentioned as candi
date for tho congressional convention. Mr.
Swan mndo a short talk, in which ho paid a
high tribute to Judge Smith and prophesied
ho would Tccelvo the largest majority that
any candidate for congress has been given
in tnls district.
.IiiiIkc McI'licrMiiii'H AddrcNi.
Hon. Smith Mcl'herson wan called for and
was greeted with tho greatest enthusiasm.
Ho refrained from making a political speech
nnd spoko of tho Iowa delegation In con
gress nnd explained his position on tho
Porto Itlcan bill. Ho said: "This demon
stration is very gratifying to me. When I
resigned my sent In congress Inst week 1
made a llttlo mistake. 1 had agreed to re
sign not earlier than fifteen minutes before
the clcse of the session. I resigned at 3:1S
Wednesday afternoon, nnd within three min
utes after I got out ono of tho biggest fusses
of the session was kicked up. and tho house
remained In scfslon for more than twenty
four hours.
"You will remember that when you elected
mo to congress two years ago 1 promised
you that I would go there for two purposes
to voto for a gold standard measure and to
stand up through thick nnd thin for the mag
nificent administration ot William McKlnley.
So I was delighted when, In January Inst, we
put through a gold standard hill nnd re
deemed tho pledges of tho republican party
In a manner that they will remain redeemed
for years to come."
Judgo McPhcrson said that he would rather
havo a scat In congress from Iowa than from
any other state In tho union. "Iowa," ho
said, "towers higher at Washington than any
other three states. No man In Washington,
with tho single exception of tho president
himself, has one-third tho influence of Alli
son. Iowas senior senator is in uemanu on
all hands. Members of tho cabinet are con
stantly seeking counsel with him nnd asking
for his advice. The president, too, Is much
In conferenco with him. Allison," said Mr.
McPhcrson, "Is enough to mnko all Iowa
proud; but when wo remember Gear, doing
three times tho omount of work done by
many others, Henderson, Hepburn, Dollivcr
nnd Cousins, and even thoso new members.
Lono, Judgo Thomas and Haughon, each of
them of more consequence than many mem
bers of from six to ten years each In con
gress, then, Indeed, Iowa should feel more
than proud."
When Mr. McPhcrson finished the conven
tion would not bo content without a few
words from Judge N, W, Macy of Harlan,
who In response to repeated colls made a
short talk In his characteristic manner, add
ing his quota to tho tributes already paid tho
nominee.
Tho report of the commltteo on resolu
tions having been read by tho Hon. John Y.
Stone of Mills county and adopted with much
cheering, tho convention then adjourned.

SCARED INTO
AN OPERATION
"I was persuaded to undergo nn operation for Cancer thought I
was cured hut it has returned in worse form than ever."
We receive letters like the above every day. Tho disease returnr.
because Cancer is in tho blood, and cutting away the sore or tumor
does no good. EVERY DROP OF BLOOD IS TAINTED
S. S. S. is tho only cure for Cancer, acting as it does through the
blood system and eliminating tho poisonous virus which is the cause
of the disease, thus allowing tho sore to heal naturally.
mm m flB Mr. II. L. MiilillchrookH, ofSpurtn, Ga.. writes:

FACULTY OF IOWA COLLEGE
Trusters linve n TnnU Before Them
to Secure a I'resldeut nnd
Suitable Tutors.
ORINNELL. la.. June 12. (Special Tele
gram.) The great interest of commence
ment week at Iowa college now centers In
tho action of the trustees who are here In
scfslon In the matter of appointing a suc
cessor to lrcldent George A. Gates. The
trustees are observing great secrecy, but It
Is now definitely known that tho presidency
tins been uuofltclally tendered to Prof King
of the theological department nf Oberlln. Dr
A. L. Frlsblc of Des Moines has Just re
turned from consulting with Prof. King and
returns with the refusal of the latter, who
expresses a preference to continue with his
class room work. Several other prominent
educators are being considered, but as the
situation now stands nn president Is likely
to bo selected at this scfsIoii, and It may be
an entire year before a head for the college
Is secured.
Tho trustees will have other Important
work to do. thero being an unusual number
of resignations from the faculty, among them
being the principal of tha academic and the
lady principal, Mlfs Carrie Rand. This lat
ter resignation Is the result of the fight
against Dr. George D. Hcrron nnd marks the
severing of a connection which has been pro
ductive of much good In a material way for
Iowa college, to which this generous woman
has given largely of her wealth.
