To dwell together in unity! Certainly
1t must lie a constant source OF delight
to regular Republicans to see such
/, unanimity OF thought among the Re
publican voters. Blythe is for the
ticket. 1t seems funny to a Democrat
that the Prosrcssives should want

We o..n imagine Bl.-;he supporting

other papers thlow up their old hats

A few Republican newspapers are

speech at the Ccntcrville Chautauqua

whites OF the south would not allow
them to vote even if it meant war to
the knife. The Republican papers try
to make it appear that it will hurt
Claude Porter because this occurred In
his town and because he was chairman
and introduced 'rillman. Very likely
Tic people will hold Claude Porter
responsible for what Tillnan said.
Besides. If 1t had not been for Tillman

claims the honor of having had passed.

the voters will hold Porter RESPONSE.

able for the negro lynching in South
Carolina few days ago, and for the
dynamiting oil those Russian officials
and for the railway wreck in England
recently when lot of Americans
were killed, won't he? How foolish
some Republicans can talk when they
get started.
THEY ARE cTlLL HoLTlNG CUM.
MINIS.
You cannot go anywhere where
taerc are Republicans OF the old
school that you do not find them bolt
ing Cumm.Is. You may think this is
Wild talk or the talk OF Democrat
who doesn't know what he Is talking
about, but we can assure you that ii
Is OF very little Importance to us
whether the Republicans bolt Cum,
E.ins or net. 1t is OF a vast deal OF Inn
pIrtancc w..e.htr we tell the truth as
u newspaper or not. 1t is important
that every Democratic paper tell the
Lews.
AMI to tell that truth it must be
stated there never has been such
sentiment a;ainst man as there has
been against Cummins in his own
party This is not guess work o,
t.re aMing CT sleight of hand, but facts.
We have talked with old wheel
horses Ey the score who say they
would no more vote for Cumnins than
for jeff Davis. They do not use that
Mans, but they use names that are
stronger if not so polite. They say
voting fer a Democrat is bad enough,
hut il is infinitely preferable to voting
fer Democrat in Republican dis
snisc. They say, we take our Re
publioanism straight. We would rather.
vote for JEFF Davis than for Cummins."
That is not the language they use,
but what they do say is less polite
than we have indicated
And scotIing at these boilers will not
mend matters. These old timers are
off the reservation to stay till after
the election. They Claim they had no
part in nominating Cummins and
therefore have no part or parcel III
the business. They say sometimes
the party has to go through fire in
order that 1t may be purified. III Cum
Minis is elected il won't be Repub-
iican victory. so you may set 1T down
that we will not vote for him and we
suspect that there is not Democratic
editor in Iowa who does not hear the
same thing. This is year when the.
Republicans are not getting together
although we recognize the propensity
OF the party to patch up their trou-
blcs. They are bound that Cummins
shall not win. If they stick to what
they now swear to there is but ont
outcome for the election this fall and
that is the defeat of Cummins and the
election OF Porter.
Anybody with half an eye can see
that there is nothing that can prevent
the nomination and election of Bryan
in 1908. The pendulum is swinging
