Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1906-04-27

IF there is a voter, be he a republican
or democrat, who does not believe ir
regulating evils incident to corpora
tons, we have not heard of him. No
one has a monopoly on reforms but the
good old republican party has always
taken the lead and has done more than
make promises"
This tribute to Governor Herriott
is deserved says the Register and
Leader. He has not in his entire po-
litical career made an appeal for sup
port on his record as a soldier. The
same tribute may be paid to Major
Rathbun."
Referring to Editor Perkins, the
| Sioux City Journal says: "He may
have written the 1890 platform, but
he did not make it. There were ten
other members of the resolutions COM
mittee, and the report was unanimous.
The platform as completed represented
the best judgment of the committee as
a whole, the committee being %represen-
tative of Iowa republicans

better showing than he has thus far in
the pre-convention campaign, he has
lost out" says Mr.. Blythes Burlington
Hawkeye.
eff Governor Cummins is properly
chargeable with the increased taxa
ton in Iowa. argues the Waterloo
Courier, isn't he entitled to have cred
it for the advance in property values
which have taken place during his d
ministration? If he must be charged
with all the ills, real and fancied,
which have come to the people of the
state during his incumbency of the
governors office, should he not be
credited with the blessings which have
come to them? And if he should be,
isn't the balance of the account on the
right side of the ledger for him? Let
the standpatters answer.
"A political trimmer" says the Car
roll Sentinel, sis n who regardless
of consistency, principle, conscience or
honor espouses the side which to him
seems at the time Inc
only question that appeals to him is,
What is there in it for me?' He is a
moral coward, essentially treacherous,
necessarily a hypocrite and makes
promises to the ear only to break them
to the hope. He is neither wolf nor
dog. He is a political coyote"
Saws the Iowa Falls Sentinel: "Here
is the clincher to the seed corn argu-
ment. In an acre of corn, with rows
four feet apart each a there are
2.722 hills. If o have one stalk to
the hill and no hill missing, a fair crop
would be So bushels to the acre. If
Won have two stalks to the hill, no
hills missing, 10 bushels to the acre
under like conditions, and with three
stalks to the hill, no hills missing, 80
bushels would average with the one
stock at 50. These facts ought to con-
vince every farmer that he is not get
ting What he works for when he plants
seed corn and gets no more tina 20
per cent of a stand of corn a OF
poor seed"
The Odebolt Chronicle says thai
Hon. Geo. D. Perkins has an office
holding record of twenty-four years
and that he has been a candidate for
office at least sixteen years when not
holding office.
1T is stated that Marshalltown# is to

large extensively with the Intention OF
building up a better business than IS
had by any other plant in the state.
This mpa handles only the better
class of business and kills from hfty to
one hundred read of cattle a week.
