Palladium. With Sun - IOWA TO SEND BROOKHART TO SENATE SEAT Sullivan Says G. 0. P. is Sure to Win By MARK SCLLIVAS DES MOINES. Ia., Oct 20. Iowa is going to send Brokhart to the senate. The Democrats will take art least two, and possibly fire, congressional seats away from the Republicans; but the Republicans will win the senatorship. They will win it because the Republican candidate is an accurate expres sion of the prevailing mood of the state. Brookhart is an authentic candidate. in the sense that he is true coinage of his state's political complaints and desires. His Democratic opponent, Clyde Herring is a fine man. As a business man he hag had the sort of career that gets written up in the American magazines; , Raised in rural Michigan, he saw a "boy wanted 'advertisement in a Detroit paper, got the job by being there before anybody else, after riding eight mileB on a bicycle; broke his health ' with overwork., retired to an Iowa farm; saw an opening to sell Ford cars to his neighbors, wrote to Henry Ford personally, ultimately got the agency for the whole state, and made a million or so. Known, in Business As distributorof Ford cars, tractors and parts. Herring has had business transactions with half the people of the state, and every transaction is said to have given satisfaction. Every body in the state speaks well of Herring.He has ideals" and a real bent toward fine things. But as a candi date for the senate, he Is merely a business man who would be glad to have the place; would work conscien tiously at it. and would give a credit able performance. He has no such re lation to the present heart of Iowa as Brookhart has Herring is merely one of 100 men in the state who would make good senators. He could as well be a candidate from California or Indiana or Maryland, as from Iowa. His can didacy does not grip the state as Brookhart's does, because Brookhart expresses the prevailing personality of Iowa as it is feeling and thinking in this present month of October. Reoresents State Prookhart, is a big, rough chunk of Iowa. He Kot hia nomination, he nas

bis present following, and he will win '- the election, because he feels the war most of the fanners and laborers of 1 Iowa feel, .and what he is saying ring true as an accurate expression of the common state of mind. When Herring comes campaigning they look at his good clothes, they never hear hira tell his story of being one of the larg

est employers In the state, with 400 men on his payroll, and they come to the conclusion that .while an excellent man, he is, after all, not one of themselves. Then Brookhart comes along with his flapping soft hat and his clothes hung loose on his big frame, nan farmer and hair country lawyer. They hear him say the very things they are thinking, and say them with a fire that proves he shares their own sense of indignation against wrongs endured, and they conclude that Brookhart U one of them. The wrongs that Brookhart tells are the hardships of the farmer and especially the farm renter, together with the laboring men, as compared with the banker and business man. Has Violent Tongue ' Brookhart, telling of these wrongs, is called radical. Senator Cummins, who is a kind of old Roman of the state, calls Brookhart dangerous, and wrote that "if Brookhart's powers were commensurate with his desires, he would wreck the country." Undoubtedly Rcnokhart, as to most issues is one with La Follette. ' But radicalism is often confused with mere violence of language. " And Brookhart h"s a very violent tongue, violent and also on occasion cheaply, flippant in p wsv that .iujures his own "cause. Prnnkhart i also spoken of with some fiist'cc, as 'economically illiterate," as Iinvinsr. economically the mind of a cln - . nt however cnidclv and InnUv lip ppresses it. the principal fbinsM that lie demands for Iowa are !vrr rfltes of interest for the farmers. 7 who ry pay" eight per c-nt.and co(Tirative marketing to get rid of so--"o of ih xpcnse and profit of the m'df'.l'.'in'-n.

The politic thing in so ptrongiy a Republican state us Iowa, would have been to "pussy-foot" . after he eot the nomination and keep all the Republicans in line. But Brookhait has frone right on talking the sama doctrines. In consequences, a good many Republicans from the business classes will vote against him But this will be more than offset by the radical Democratic votes he will get When Brookhart gets io wasiv intrtnn ho will walk straight into the middle of the farm bloc, and will be the most vivid ngnung personality Copyright 1922. by the New York t Evening Post, Inc.

The Times believes that the effect' will everywhere be beneficient It declares the country wants "to return to the normal ways, of life and to feel that its welfare is in the hands of men of sound sense, less anxious to shine as individuals than to merit confidence as faithful wardens of the public good." The Morning Post regards yesterday events as a considerable victory won in the interests of the country not less than in the interests of the conservative party. Feeling of Relief. ,"The coalition is dead and gone, unwept and unsung" says the Daily News. The first feeling of the men of almost all parties will be one of relief. Whatever government succeeds the coalition it could not be an improvement." The Westminister Gazette comments: "The coalition has been a thorough imposure. We look to the country to carry us back to clearer, sineerer politics. The Daily Express calls for a strong conservative government to termi TWO MINERS KILLED, SEVEN OTHERS HURT IN MINE EXPLOSION McCURTIN. Ckla Oct. 20.

J,' Oct. 20. The Hall-Mills murder mystery has been solved and the alleged slayers are virtually in a state of "secret ar rest" under continous surveillance of detectives, it was reported here today. Prosecutor Strieker, while not confirming this, admitted "deoided " pro gress had been made in the last week. The very fact that there was less feverish activity among Prosecutors Beekman and Strieker and the detec tives and investigators that are aiding in the case was also taken to bear out this belief. Arrest is Expected. The whole atmosphere about the courthouse seemed to portend an actual arrest would be made very soon. The lull in activity was taken to mean that the investigators had about closed in on the person to whom the latest clues point as the slayer of the min ister and choir singer who were found slain on the unoccupied Phillips farm nearly five weeks ago. In spite of the protestations of Mrs. Hall, the wealthy widow of Rev. Hall, who was 12 years his senior, that she Is confident that her husband was never unfaithful, it has been disclosed that the minister and his wife had quarreled over his attentions to Mrs. Mills. Miss Florence North, attorney for Charlotte Mills, daughter of the slain woman, alleges that the minister and his wife were estranged a week or ten days before the Rev. Hall was murdered.

A.BONARLAW IS SELECTING NEW CABINET Curzon, Earl of Derby Agree to Serve (By Associated Press) . LONDON, Oct 20. A. Bonar Law appeared to be making rapid progress today informing a cabinet to replace the fallen coalition government This was evidenced by the announcement that Marquis Curzon and the"Earl of Derby both men of influence and ex- . perienced cabinet ministers, have agreed to serve under him in any capacity. Mr. Bonar Law cannot officially announce the formation of his ministry until he is elected head of the Unionist party to succeed Austen Chamberlain, but it is generally conceded that this election will be only a formality. Deprived of Material Although the split In the Unionist ranks has deprived him of such cabi net material as Mr. Chamberlain, Lord Birkenhead, the Earl of Balfour and some lesser lights, political experts believe Mr. Bonar Law will find plenty of timber among the younger members or the party who have shown promise in the political field and are marked for advancement at & favorable moment The premier designate was busy seeking out eliglbles at an early hour today. His secretary declared he is in good health again and ready to "Duckle to" the work which lays before him.
