DES MOINES. Jan. a.-8pecll.r-An
almost complete transformation in the
political situation was effected the last
week In Iowa by what was virtually the
opening of the campaign for the state
ticket at the June primary. The campaign
opening waa fenced far ahead of time by
th fact that a group of politician had
set out to stampede the state In behalf
of Prof P. O. Holden. the .famous corn
expert, and had started a campaign of
publicity and personal work all ever the
state, ostensibly among the farmers. Sev
eral others have been considered aa avail
able also for the nomination for governor
and their friends rather resented tbe as
sumption that the slate could thus be
stampeded,, and while they had not In
tended taking any part in politic for
month they set about to start
thing oa their own account. '
Clarke Gets Into Came.
Lieutenant Governor Ueorge W. Clarke
of Dallas Count, at th elo:of the
last session of tua legislature, .largely
upon the Insistence of msny members of
the legislature, made it known that In
due time he would become a candidate
for the nomination for governor as a
republican. Isl week be fulfilled an in
vitation to add rasa th Grant club. Ills
address was listened to by a large crowd
ot th best business men of th city and
he fairly captivated tbem. In fact be
mad such an excellent opening address
that even thos who hav been most
active la fighting tlm admit that he made
himself almost Intlnclbl.
That whk-h Clark did was ta defend
th Mate against th Inucndo of bis op
ponents, by showing that lb state haa
been making progress In all lines, that
legislation baa been good, that a great
advance haa been scored In Industrial and
educational affairs, and that Iowa has
duu more fur agriculture than almost
any other stale. Then he pointed out
som of th thing needed yet to b don.
He spoke from the standpoint of on who
bad been an active participant la th im
portant affair of th last twelve year.
Th slight toss In population m Iowa he
attributed to th fact that (And agents
hava flooded th state with circular and
testimonials aa to th alleged greater
value of th far western or northern
Isnds.
Only Two la Race.
For a time It seemed certain there
would be a half doeen candidate for gov.
ernor. Prof. Holden Is a candidate as
a non-partisan. Governor Clark I a
candidate ss a republican. Colonel Pal
mer of the railroad commission haa been
arged by th old soldier, but is reluctant
to enter tb game. There seems at pr'
nt to be noma prospect that tha fight
will be squareljr between Clark a
Holden. .
Within lb last few days It has beoom
evident that la practically every congres
sional district there will be a eengr-

Unless certificate ot death from vio
lence states that the case waa suicide or

with Increased precision of reporting the

Dear madam :
You have quickly adopted
this latest Nemo invention
the "Auto-Massage.: Self
Reducing Corset'' so bow
ytju htve - another and very
useful friend In the Nemo
family.
We don't blame you for
having doubted our claim
that this corset actually re
duces the size, and weight
of your figure ; but now you
believe ht the corset has
"made good."
You need never question
any statement we make.
"Nemo" always stands for
100 per cent. truiL
These new corsets, Nos.
353 and 3S4, would be won
derfuS figure-shaping corsets
even if they hadn't the auto
massage feature.
Though only $3.50, they
are really in the $5.00 class,
as corset -values go.
No. 353

Note the very long skirt
it gives you superb slender
sty le when you stand, but
you have lots of room when
you sit down; and the corset
can't bind or ride up.
