A committee will decide which college should be the representative, with Central urged as the likely choice due to facilities. Central College rallied support. Des Moines College benefits noted from press ties with the Register and Leader.

Porter Addresses Residents in Plaines Town and Knoxville
Claude R. Porter, Democratic candidate for governor, spoke in Knoxville at 2 PM Tuesday then traveled from Des Moines to Pella on the 8 10 train and planned to Boone yesterday after the talk. Rain and mud kept many away but the audience was large and the speech well received as Porter contrasted Gov Cummins with a focus on records rather than personal attacks. He is slated to speak at Bussey Saturday afternoon and give a Knoxville address Saturday evening.
