Why Strikers Lose Public Sympathy.
A local item in one of the Chicago
papers says that experience not to be
learned at school came to two student
strike breakers of the Armour Insti-
tute the other evening when they fell
into hands of pickets and were severely
beaten. The students are Joseph w.
jacobson and M. P. Jacobus, and they
have been working as electricians at
the Nelson Morris plant since the cleo
trical workers walked out on strike.
The young men were followed from
the yards by picket, who boarded the
car with them. When out of range OF
the police the picket ordered the con-
ductor to stop the cal between streets.
A signal brought a Ismall crowd, the
students were dragRed from the car,
beaten over the head with clubs and
knocked down and kicked until they
were bleeding from dozen wounds.
Policeman John Cunningham rescued
them and arrested Michael Brooks,

FIGHTING THE GANG.

Among LaFollette's many troubles
with the railroads that seek to escape
taxation and the congressional COM
bine of politicians made by the rail-
road influence, comes State Treasurer
Kempf, a creature of the same kind
of politics, with a shortage In his
accounts and other irregularities.
Kempf had been renominated on the
LaFollette ticket, but this made no diff
ference to LaFollette when Irregular
tiles were discovered. Kempf's resig-
nation was promptly called for by the
governor. Kempf refused, protesting
that the error was due to the fault
of a clerk, and he made good the
shortage. But it also developed that
Kempf had been borrowing money, on
his personal notes, from banks which
had deposits of state money, and in
order to protect the state LaFollette
demanded additional bonds. These
Kempf either could not or would not
furnish, and the governor has remov-
ed him from office, appointing the dep
uty treasurer to serve in his place.
LaFollette's fight in Wisconsin is
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1904-09-01

like Folks fight in Missouri and the
Cummins fight in Iowa. The combined
political strength of favored corpora
tons and the whole political machine
created by them is resisting one man
efforts at honest government. In Mis-
souri, Folk put the boodltrs of st.
Louis to flight and the people demanded
that he march upon the corrupt gang
of the state house ring. Helwas NOM
mated for governor by the democrats
because they didn't dare oppose him,
but they have so hedged him about
with other nominees of their corrupt
school that the better citizens of Mis-
souri, fear that he will experience cruz
cifixion between two thieves.
When the movement started in Iowa
to reform the executive council ana It's
railway assessments, the first conven-
ton light was for Gilbertson and Mar
tin. AT the same time the corrupt and
since notorious Merriam was accord-
ed a denomination without opposition.
because the reform forces believed 1T
wise to concentrate their fire upon the
two offices to make sure Of a victory.
Cum1nins came into Office afterwards.
and when the next opportunity af-
forded. an honest man was put in Mer-
RAMS place. Then it was that the
corrupt and swindling insurance COM
panies began to scatter.
LaFollette is making the same fight
in Wisconsin, in fact it is the fightlbe-
ing made by Roosevelt in the nation.
LaFollette has been compelled to rec
ommend law forbidding the treas
urer from borrowing money from state
repositories. In Iowa we have already
strengthened our laws governing in
surance companies, and have passed a
law requiring banks to pay interest for
state deposits. Not only has an honest
administration saved thousands that a
dishonest one might have stolen, but It
has earned for the state hundreds D.
thousands in increased taxes from rail-
way corporations, and 100000 to s4G,-
900 per year from banks using state
money. The people have a real in
terest in the struggle if they only knew
