The Davenport Netcs finds great fault with
the Republicans for supporting Rusch, ''who
has been in the country but about twelve
years, as the nominee for Lieutenant Cover
nor, and advocating his election"
Now, in oil candor, we would ask how
long foreigner must be in the country be-
fore we are permitted TO support him for
Office. The Republican Constitution OF Iowa
does not prescribe any term Of probation
during which naturalized citizen shall work
out his eligibility for Office, and If twelve
years will not do, will some OF our Demo
cratic sages enlighten us Ms to how many
years shall be required. How long must
they wait
