House kills compulsory primary bill in vote
The House defeated the compulsory primary election bill by a 49 to 51 vote yesterday. Judge L. G. Kinne was re appointed by Governor Cummins to the board of control. The Vinton Eagle endorses M. A. Buchan of Grundy county for clerk of the supreme court and urges Fifth district support if he is named by Grundy. N S Ketcham of Marshall county announces as Republican railroad commissioner candidate at the state convention next summer. Hull wins Polk county delegates amid a fierce contest with Judge Prouty. The Times Republican praises Ketcham as a long time, trusted Marshalltown businessman. A baby board of control for three educational institutions is viewed skeptically. Senator Gorman of Maryland is urged to lead the Democratic congressional committee, a move some see as not signifying Bryan’s decline.
