The Iowa City Standard. IN publishing
: biographical sketch Of Mr.. Lowe-writ-
ten alpareptly with the view Of exhibiting
he ,nengerness Of his merits--assures its
rsa3sa that Mr.. Loweis not politician" !"
The whig leaders are perfectly satisfied
thst = large majority of the electors Of
Iowa are democrats; and hey know, con-
seqne'tly, that unless . portion of the
strength Of the party can be withdrawn
from tSe dc.socratic nominee, his election
cannst possibly be prevented. The entire
w6g ssole is calculated upon for Mr.. Lowe
- = matter Of course; and the grest effort
e the campaign win 10 to gan democrats
int his support. To effect this, everv
species Of misrepresentation and falsehood
which can possibly be brought to bear
asaine Gen. Dodge and in Iavor Of their
nc.sin,c may be expeeted to be resor,ed 10.
The assurance II the Standard that Mr..
Lowe = notsa politician is in keeping with
this ps1icy; and We notice il in connexion,
70 psk dc democrats cf,he Territory upon
their guard sgsi,'<t tie trap sci for them By
their enemies. The simple fact that Mr..
Lowe j. warmly supported by the Stand
ard --decidedly the most ultra and rabid
psrtisan print in the Territory-is Of itself
= sulkr;ent refntalioa Of the statement now
put fsth with the view Of aiding Mr..
Lowe.
In t1e sense in which the word is UNI
derstosd in this country we assert that
Mr.. Lowe IS politician-a politician, too,
Of the most decided stamp. True, he has
filled aui few Offices, and has not permit
ted the study Of politics to withdraw his
attention from the prosecution Of his pro-
fessional pursuits; but still he is known ss
ono Of the most active and efficient leaders
Of the whig party. 1t is not his fault if he
has na filed Office, but the peoples; and
If be has adjudged it unwise and unsafe to
depend en- politics entirely for his support,
i is probably owing to no distaste for the
trade. but because, from the democratic pre-
ponde,ance, success promised to be less
certaiE than seemed desirable. But who
has ben more prominent than RALrH P.
Lows in the organization Of the whig party
ef Iowaf Who has lahored more actively
= nsrs incessantIy to PROSTATE the democ-
racy? These are questions We should like
= .hass answered; and they are questions
which must be answered before credence
can b given by the public to the state
mani aow put forth to catch votes, th;t t
"Mt. Lowe i no politician.' Who fig
nfsd uns conspicuously at the hard cider
and cosn-skin jolli6cation which convened
~ this place in de fall Of 1910, to exult
over sle triumph Of whigsery, and, as was
