IOWA’S YOUNG GOVERNOR.

Hon. Frank D. Jackson Succeeds Gov. Boles. With fitting, yet simple ceremony, the Hon. Frank D. Jackson was inaugurated Governor of lowa, Thursday afternoon, at Des Moines, succeeding Horace Boies. I>t had first been proposed to make the event a great Republican demonstration, but on account o’s the death of Miss Jessie lories, the daughter of the retiring Gov-

ernor, Mr. Jackson requested that all demonstrations be dispensed with. Nevertheless all incoming trains brought big crowds to see lowa’s youngest Governor inducted into office, and an almost unprecedented multitude for such an occasion* was present. Besides ex-Governor Boies, there were also among the notable guests-ex-Governor Gear, ex-Governor Sherman, and ex-Governor Larrabee. Gov. Jackson in his inaugural defined his position on national questions. In closing his remarks on the subject of prohibition he said: While the present prohibition principle, which is so satisfactory to many counties and communities of our State, should remain in force, wisdom, justice and the interests of temperance and morality demand that a modification of this law should be made applicable to these communities, where tne saloon exists, to the end of reducing the evils of the liquor traffic to the minimum.
