This paper will support the whole ticket,
the usual Republican majority. Mr.. Cum
minis has well discharged his duties as
governor, and he will make good CAM
paign, as usual.
But when 1t comes to the platform ex-
cuse us from saying that 1t is a noble
do not indorse It. We care more for con-
victions than we do for party platforms.
"cusslng Cousins"
am aware of the old proverb that
zone swallow does not make a sum
mer," and If the Cedar Rapids Daily
Republican were the only one disgrun-
tied would not be justified in the fore 4
going statements, but "there are 9TH
ers." It so happened that Robert G.
Cousins, one of the most brilliant Of all
Republican orators, delivered a speech
at the Harmony" Republican conven-
ton at Des Moines In the early days
of July He Is stand patter" from
Pattersville," as Congressman Lacey
puts 1t. Bob Cousins could out-orate
the aIowa idea" shouters, SO 1t seems,
but he could not out-cuss them, II the
following excerpt from an editorial in
the Des Moines Daily Capital, q Repub-
lican organ, is to be believed:
Hon. Robert q. Cousins made brilliant
and beautiful speech announcing his adj
herence to and belief in the protective
tariff. which has now been in operation six
years. criticasing nobody. Any one 10 In
vited to read the speech in full and render
q verdict upon 1t as to its RepublicanisIn,
its manner and the matter contained.

minutes until certain men were around
the hotels and public places cursing and
swearing at Cousins in a most intemper-
ate way. Republicans yesterday. to some
extent, who disagreed with the speech
were still swearing. At the statehouse
prominent and influential men In various
parts Of the building were in a rage at
Cousins, giving utterance to the strongest
denunciation, criticising him personally.
What Ia the occasion for all this? We
regret to see the political affairs of this
state take such a turn.
| Republican state officials and big
wigs "cussing" the great Republican
orator Cousins for making a stand
pat'' Republican speech is certainly not
a convincing proof Of harmony in
Iowa. Was not General David Brem-
ner Henderson stand patter, and did
he not voluntarily retire from congress
! and the speakership of the house rath-
err than bow to the Iowa idea7 Won
der if the Cummins gang are going
to try. to drive Cousins md Lacey and
J Henburn out Of the narty?g How will
& thew fill the holes-big hoies-which
these eminent "stand patters,, will
leaye? Verify. verify. Republican har-
mony ia q queer thing.
