1t seems TO us tnat no tltl2en OF iowa
can entertain serious doubt, after due
reflection, that the best interests of our
State and country demand the re election
of Gov. Kirkwood No man doubts his
patriotism, his devotion to the interests
and honor of the State and the country
and his anxious desire to prepare effect
lively and speedily for placing the whole
military power of the State in the field to
support the honor of our flag. His long
experience of public affairs and his special
experience and knowledge of the entire
condition, military and financial, of our
State, acquired since this war commenced,
gives him an advantage over any man in
Iowa for the administration of the
State Government now.
The State of Iowa has come as near hay
ing her full quota Of volunteers raised for
the service as any State in the Union
And, be ii remembered to the honor of
raised and rendered to the United States
without cent of money except what has
been advanced out Of the pockets of the
Governor and his personal friends State
bonds could not be negotiated, mainly for
the reason that the Mahony press and the
Mahony politicians Of the State combined
with our financial enemies in New York
to make capitalists believe they were un-
constitutional and worthless But In the
face of all embarrassments, of want Of
funds, and Of the universal ignorance of
the people Of Iowa Of military matters,
the military credit Of the State Of Iowa
has been maintained at home and abroad,
In the number and character of the yolun-
teer regiments she has furnished for the
war.
Whatever mistakes may have been
made, 1t Is now evident that neither the
State nor the country have suffered in
consequence of them. 1t is very certain
that the experience and knowledge Of af-
fairs now acquired by the Governor will
prevent any more Of the same kind occur
