The Toledo Blade gives an Ohio
view OF the political fight in Iowa this
fall. The Blade says: We are glad
to know that the Republicans OF Iowa
ut the recent state convention ut Ce-
oar Rapids, took honest and fearless
gsound upon the liquor question. The
issue against the saloon in Iowa
when prohibition was adopted, was
not party question, IL was the rep
utable, the religious, the honest ele-
ments Of her population against the
vicious aud criminal classes. and those
who affiliate with them. Prohibition
was favored by large majority OF tho
voters OF both parties, and by larger
majority OF those citizens who are
truly representatives OF tho state and
her best interests.
True to its old time policy OF
trucking to tho ignorant. the debased
and the degraded elements in its mad
seeking after power, the Democratic
party Of Iowa has avowed its obedi-
ence TO the rum power. 1t has given
aid and comfort TO the traffic ever
since Il has been outlawed in Iowa by
the will OF the people, Every violator
eli the prohibitory law has found SYM
pathy in the Democratic ranks. Every
law breaker who opened bar In
| cellar or attic, or COW. shed, every
'bootlcggor who wont around selling
n drink OF bodyrot To whoever would
buy, from tho bottles concealed In his
bootlegs, had the encouragement OF
thn Inwu nnmn,ruuN. md a..
one OF the gontry came 10 grief by be.
ing discovered, tho Democratic press
all over tho country shouted that pro-
hibition does not prohibit and de-
clarod that the fact that some scala
ways being Doing detected In his in
famous work was proof positive that
such was the fact,
1.-The Republicans OF Iowa recog-
niHe the fact that the suloon is tho
intractablo thing on Gods footstool.
Whore IL Is allowed by law and SUI
fcred to continue its damnuble work o.
corrupting youth, IL laughs at all laws
which cndoavor to restrict IL or TO
circumscribo its operations In any
way. II not only debases Its victims,
but debasos tho men who are engaged
In II. No ono takes it M save for the
money II brings. II is n profitable
and therefore II popular business
among men OF low grade OF morals,
who arc without any conception OF tho
duty that the individual man owes to
his fellow men. la order that tho
stream OF ill.gotten gains may flow
unintcrruptedly into his pocket, the
average saloonkoeper deliberately and
deinntly violates every restrictive en-
actment.
The saloon L. the direct enemy OF
The Christian Sabbath. IL has done
more to break down its sunctity than
all other agencies combined. There
is no city where saloons are allowed
TO exist In which u large number OF
them do not viola'e any law or ordi-
nance for their regulation. There Is
no provision for Sunday closing 10
any city which is not violated willfully
and openly. There il no provision
for midnight closing but is systemat-
icully dsobcyed. Tho saloon laughs
nj law aud deiies tho executive power
OF both city and state
Tho Democrats OF Iowa have placed
themselves upon II Platform which
makes them the tools OF the rum
power. They are pledged to rein
state the saloon ~ Iowa, 10 give IL the
privileges accorded TO any legitimate
business. The Republicans array
themselves In support OF the present
law and against the saloon. The is.
suo Is as cloar cut as 1t could possibly
be-, As tho platform well snys, The
issue is law against defiance OF law;
subordination against characterization;
tho state OF Iowa against the Demo.
cratic party
"Ihere are thousands Of mcn in tho
ranks OF the Democratic party in Iowa
who believe in prohibition. They are
, now called upon 10 make decision
between party and principle. II they
vote the Democratic ticket this fall.
they vote for the rum power and sacri-
fec principle in which they hor estly
believe. Every such man owes IL to
himself, TO his children, 10 his fellow
men and to his state TO give his sup
port to the Republican ticket, TO tho
end that the attempt to put the state
OF Iowa under the domination OF tho
saloon may end in defeat. He must
take sides, .or there can be no neu.
trails in the coming campaign. Every
voter In the state must say by his bal
lot whether he Is in favor OF the sa-
loon or whether he will lend his aid to
the effort TO
