Brookhart, who won the Republican primary In Iowa for the nomination for senator to fill Kenyon's seat, expended $453.08, according to his official statement. He says: "I received meals and lodging from farmers and laboring people many times, and was driven on automobile trips several times without expense. Individuals, farm organizations, labor organizations and newspapers supporting me did so at their own expense. Halls were furnished t without cost." The result was a surprise. The onlooker from a distance puts It thus: Here's Brookhart, without an organization, running against a field of five rivals.

In short, the organized elements In the party were lined up almost solidly against Brookhart, and the aim was fo keep him from landing 35 per cent of the vote, which would throw the nomination into a stute convention, where the colonel might be massncred. Despite all this Brookhart carried 76 of the 09 counties, and ran second In all the rest but two.
