DES MOINES", Feb. 14. (Special.) While
the politicians who usually make candidates
and dominate conventions are engaging In
the preliminary sparring before the cam
paign opens formally, several other classes
of persons arc showing unwonted activity
In Iowa affairs.
The women who are tn tho organization
Known ns tho Iowa Equal Suffrage asso
ciation arc planning a spring campaign.
The state officers and executive committee
maintain headquart'ers In Des Moines, with
a corresponding secretary In charge at nil
times, und n vast amount of correspond
ence Is being done. The executive com
mittee has appointed three special lecturers
to go out and take charge of the work of
organizing local associations. These are:
Mrs. E. X. Blackman, Des Moines; Mrs. E.
11. Bcldcti, Sioux City, and Miss Mabel
Horner, Indlauola, All three of these or
ganizers will put In practically all of their
time between now and the first of June or

There are 4,000 members actively In the
stato organization nnd It is expected that
they will doublo this number by the time
of tho meeting of the national association
In Juno at Minneapolis.
The other persons showing activity which
Is causing some disturbance of tho plans
of tho politicians aro the prohibitionists.
Their state committee, met In January and
set a date for their state convention and
set about to organize tho state tor n hard
campaign. They cannot expect to do much
In the way of electing their own mem.
bors, but It Is known that they have certain
measures they Intend to push beforo tho
legislature and they will try to secure
nominees who will favor their views. Thoy
havu Bovcr.il lecturers at fork In the state
and thoy report that they are meeting with
great success. Inasmuch as omo of the
candidates before the state at this time
l.avo been' prominent In the antl-prohlbl-tlon
movement within the republican party
tho attttudo of tho prohibitionists Is be
coming Interesting. Their Influence In the
stato convention may be of considerable
Importance.
Hi-Mcnntor Clnrk n Ciintlldntc,
That the prohibitionists regard this as a
favorable tlmo to become, nioro active In
state politics la shown by tho announce
ment that ex-Senator Talton E. Clark of'
Pago county may become a candidate for
the nomination for governor on tho repub
lican ticket. In tho prohibition days Sen
ator Clark was an nctlve and prominent
republican. Ho was chairman of the senate
commlttco on tempernnco nnd prepared and
pushed through tho legislature tho pro
hibitory law which Is on tho statuto books
of tho stnte today. No formal announce
ment has been made of his candidacy, but
he Is considering the matter, and as there
Is no candldnte-fTom that part of tho state
ho Is likely to iba brought out.
