POOR OLD CLARKSON
He Tells the Story of How Iowa
Elected the Democratic
Ticket.
The President Very Reticena
on the Results of the
Election.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-When an Aeso
cis.ted Press reporter this evening asked
First Assistant-P Postmaster-G General Clark
son his views concerning yesterdays cleo
tion, that gentleman said: "The invari
able results OF the year following presi
dential election have repeated themselves
There are many surprises in the Republi.
can sta.es but they come from local causes
in every state, except Virginia. There the
result was gained by the usual methods oi
fraud, suppression, and false counting,
tho Democratic state election board elected
by the Democrats. The legislature ap-
pointed all the judges Of election and the
law clothes these election judges with
police court powers, and as they can order
any voter they please to Jail for the day,
their reign is absolute and, d,arbitrary in
power. The Republicans OF Virginia did
not have the selection OF a single judge in
the election Of the whole state. The negro
is disiranchised. General Malone and the
Republicans made a gallant fight, but
nothing can 60 against complete and
skilful system Of fraud.
The attempt to couple the national ad-
ministration conspicuously with this de-
feat is undeserved, as the president simply
showed the same friendly interest in Ma
hone that he did in Republican candidates
in other states.
"The cause operating in Ohio and Iowa
was largely, evidently and mainly the re-
action against the radical temperance and
Sunday legislation. The Sunday law and
it's enforcement changed Hamilton county
OF Ohio and it's Germans against the Re-
publican party
In Iowa the main cause Of the change is
due to Prohibition. The state has been
very close on state issues ever since pro.
hibition was made q law. The counties
bordering on the Mississippi river having |
large cities such as Dubuque. Davenport
and Burlington, all Of them having foreign
born population holding majority OF the |
votes, are intensely anti-PrOhibition,
and they voted Overwhelmingly against the |
Republican party because it stood in that |
ct ate for the law and it's enforcement. |
There was also some Republican dissatis- |
faction and alienation on account OF the |
present governors extreme views on the
railroad question and his irritating en-.
of the railroad laws, but Iowa
has been gradually losing it's Republican
maiority for years. Over thirty thousand
