The Necessity for Active Work.

Every Iowa republican should settle
right down to earnest work for party
success at the November election. The
democrats are making desperate eff
fort to combine all the opposition to
republicanism on one ticket. Failing
in this, they will then work to have as
many tickets placed in the field as pos
sible, with democratic stool pigeons to
work them up and Golden club funds
to pay all expenses. When the election
day arrives all the democratic stool
pigeons who have worked throughout
the campaign in the interest of so call
ed alliance, third party, greenback and
all other tickets, will vote the demo
cratic ticket and leave their dupes to
hold their side issue bags for next
years snipes The fight is on for SUI
premacy in Iowa, and every republican
in the state should promptly realize the
great danger to state and national in
terests. There is no time to hesitate,
to nurse old sores, or to feel indiffer-
ence. Close up the ranks all along the
line. Look up those who have been
consorting with the enemy for a year
or two past and see if they cannot be
regained to republicanism. The indif
ferent were largely responsible for last
years partial defeat. Get them reused
up to active effort during this falls
campaign with0ut delay.
The Golden Clubs of England and
America have joined in with the brew
cries and democratic party in this state
to make a desperate effort to carry
Iowa and elect majority of the Hawk,
eye congressman this fall. Money has
been flowing into the democratic treas,
ury from the sources named for several
weeks. Democratic papers are to be
sent to the address of all republicans
whom the local committees think car
he influenced against their party. Thi:
work began last May and all the dem
ocratic papers now being sent to repub
lican voters are credited up to May
1891. These papers are paid for by thu
funds contributed by the Golden Club
and the breweries. The Leader ha

committee think can be influence
against republicanism! This is not
political rumor but an actual fac
which can be substantiated az nearl
every postofiice in Iowa. The object O
all this expenditure of money is to cleo
as many democratic and Independent
members of Congress in Iowa as pos
, sible and thus secure majority of til
national house in favor of the princi
pies of the Golden Club. Money and
still hunt are to be the democrati
methods of this year. 1t is high tim
, that the republicans of Iowa were full
aroused as to the great danger of
sluggish campaign. The old Republi
can League Clubs should be promptly
reorganized, the campaign worl
thoroughly systematized in every 10
cality, and all the party machiner,
placed in vigorous battle all along TIN
line will insure the republican victory
Wake up, and 30 to work for the cause
