man to rally to the
SUPPORT OF THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY,
both on account OF its attitude on the
question of temperance, and also be-
cause of the fact that the saloonists
all over the state were fepudiating
the party for giving US chance to
vote upon the saloon question. The
result was an overwhelming majority
for prohibition followed by the enact
lment of the best, and in the main,
THE best enforced prohibitory law on
this planet; and to-day the republi-
can party is the prohibition party in
Iowa. Instead Of prohibitioniSts Of
Iowa now stultifying themselves BY
going back upon che party that has
done so much for our cause, we are
hoping and beleging that the "sober
Thought" of our brethren in other
states will lead them to do aswe
have done. We did not fight the
Republican party, as these modern
third party champions are doing.
We pressed the claims of our homes
| ti and our hearts upon the politicians,
and fought only the saloons. So
that when we were able to command
the attention Of the party, it had not
been made our enemy by our abuse
and yillifcation. Not so these mod

loyal and true citizens ponder well
before casting vote where it will
inevitably strengthen and perpetuate
the power Of the party that is the
ally both Of the rebel and saloon
keepers. Furthermore, / may as
twell say right here that when the
third party convention nominated
ex-rebel Gen. Brooks for vice presi-
dent it "reckoned without its host
lor rather, it reckoned itself out Of a
shost Of votes that it otherwise
might have secured Men may prate
