THE ANNUAL ELECTION TURMOIL
Waterloo Reporter.

Waterloo RepOrteF.l
The Vinton Eagle, in criticising an
article recently published in the Re-
porter. in reference to the biennial ell
ection amendment declares that the
matter is not an experiment. 1t is al
ready in operation and the people of
those states are as well off as Iowa.
The Eagle does not specify the states
which are equally as well of with Iowa,
in spite of the fact that they have bien-
NAL elections, and we must admit to
considerable curiosity as to what states
are meant. Will not the Eagle be kind
enough to name two or three states in
which biennial elections are the rule
and in which the political conditions
are as nearly ideal as are those of the
Hawkeye state?
In another part of the comment the
Eagle saws that the reason the proposed
amendment was so little discussed
when it was before the people in 1900
was "the sentiment of the people was so
largely for amendment that 1t was
practically useless to discuss it, The
assertion which our Vinton contempor-
ary makes is scarcely supported by the
record of the vote upon the proposition
which shows that only one third or
those who came to the polls at the ell
ection in 1900 voted in favor of the
amendment for which he declares that

II was useless to discuss il. 1t appears
rather that the people thought the pro-
position SO useless that they did not
