There Seems But One-Conger'-I
That is, there seems but one" man
who can be nominated for governor
who will bring peace and safety to the
party and the state. There are other
good candidates, but none other than
Major Conger who would be enthus-
iastically and energetically supported
by all the republicans of Iowa. The
republicans of Madison county, by an
unusually large popular vote have
named the man who can be elected by
more than the full party vote, and
that man should be nominated by &C
clamation. Referring to the Madison
county victory for the party and state
the Council Bluffs Nonpareil says:
THE defeat of Mr.. A. B. Cummins
| in Madison county is a serious blow
for his campaign. 1t is corresponding
/ ly fortunate for the interests of Major
Edwin Conger, whose friends carried
that county at the primaries Friday
and clinched their victory Saturday by
1.-THE selection of a solid Conger delega-
| ton, instructed the delegates for Con-
/ ger and placed on the delegation only
those men who will stand with Conger
through thick and thin, and who have
! no second choice. Perhaps more
than 100 other delegates already elect
ed, at heart favor the nomination of
/ Major Conger."
1t should be true that nearly all Of
| the uninstructed delegates cat heart
favor the nomination of Major Con-
ger" for it is true that it will be adj
mitted that every republican in the
state can heartily support the zone
whose selection would not be read
either as machine or an anti-machine
victory" The party and the state
need the zone" who stands for harmo-
ny in the party and safety and prog
ress in the state government Surely
the republicans of Iowa will not nomi-
nate any candidate whose election
would be certain to continue faction
ism and endanger the safety and good
government of Iowa. Conger is the
man for harmony and safety, and the
Register believes that he will be nom
mated and elected by more than the
marty vote. Now is the time for the
republicans of the precincts and coun-
ties of Iowa to make certain that fac
tionism shall cease in the party and
good government continue in the state
The continuation of factionism would
produce the same results in Iowa that
obtained in Kansas and Nebraska.
Stand by the republican party and its
great record in Iowa and in the nation.
