Lace In Danger. e.
The men who are exhibiting their
sore spots by entreating others to
scratch-and / have proof they are
doing this-do not stop to think that
their conduct is losing Major Lacey
votes by the score. They seem to be
utterly Indifferent to results, and they
are going to have revenge or die try
ing. Major Laceys candidacy is GER
tainIy critical enough He has alien
uted many republicans by the mean
things he has said about Cummins
and his adherents; he has alienated
may others by his pig-headed hostil-
ity to biennial elections, and any form
Of primary legislation But his con-
sressional record can not be assailed
md all or nearly all the republicans In
this county and in Jasper would have
stood by him but for the vicious at
itude OF men like the few I have In
mind here, or Longley and McCord and
;ilwold in Jasper.
Lonsley's Boiling.
Mr.. Longley wants to be supervis-
IF. He is simply consumed by the
ambition. 1t is only fair to say. that
leaving out of consideration his con-
duct in this campaign, he is an excel
lent man for the place. But he IL
afraid Jasper county will not survive
If deprived of his eminent survives, al
tho Jasper has got along without them

and down the east side of the county
pleading with voters to vote for him.
And yet this man has pledged his vote
and influence against every candi-
late on the republican ticket, except
Major Lacey and Representative Of
H. He is asking republicans, and
Cummins republicans, to vote for him.
To elect Longley supervisor is more linz
.portant to him than to send Lacey
back to congress.
Last Saturday night a prominent
Grinnell republican advised Mr.. Lacey
hat he could save SEQ votes for him
self by going into Jasper county and
making rousing speech for the re-
publican ticket. Mr.. Longley replied
70 this that, if Mr.. Lacey did such a
hing, he would lose more votes than
lie would gain.
The Grinnell Herald Is supporting
he ticket, that is to say, 1t is print
ing the ticket at the head of it's col
INNS, and yet it has the audacity to
ecture the Cummins' forces in Jasper
county for using the only weapons
hey could use to force recalcitrant
'epublicans into line. And, incidental-
~, it takes swipe at its hereditary
oe-the Norris family-by taking a
all out of the chairman OF the county
.antral committee of this county,
whose name is Norris Chairman Nor
his is working like beaver and giving
Major Lacey the most loyal support
f he scratches any name on a repub-
lean ticket 1t will be the name OF a
candidate whom he deems dishonest,
corrupt or incompetent; all others he
will support and they will include
Major Lacey. altho the major has not
been Mr.. Norris personal choice. He
will support him because he is the
party nominee, is clean and honest and
able and he is asking all his republic
an friends to do they same.
The Row In Jasper.
But what offense did the Cummins
people in Jasper commit? The com
mittee met to organize, as I am in
formed, by a Grinnell man who was
present; there were fourteen Cum
MINIS members and seventeen stand
patters. Laughlin, of Newton, was
elected chairman without any contest,
and the story that there are two real
chairman is all humbug. The seven
teen standpatters We're openly WORK
ing to defeat the entire republican
ticket in Jasper county, except Lacey
and Offil, and they had the gall to
ask to be a part of the official ma
chinery in Jasper county to carry OF
scuttllng campaign. Mr.. Laughlin
boldly and with the avowed purpose
Of smoking them out and putting loyal
men in the place of traitors, introduced
resolution requiring every commit
teeman to sign a pledge to support
the ticket, and then the row began.
The Longleys and the McCords ana
the Silwolds and the Harris and the
Morgans, simply rallied h. They
would not vote for Cummtns nor
Garst, nor for Senator Maytag, nor
for anybody bearing the Cummins'
brand. and they would work against
them. They beat their breasts ant
tore their hair, and when their rage
had subsidized, they herded alone. After,
mind you, they had participated In the
election Of county chairman, and the
cumnains men quietly filed their
places.
A Norri. Prediction.
The man who circulates the report
that DR.. Clark will be defeated is not
reliable. DR.. Clark will be elected. So
will George Greer-so will the entire
county ticket. Major Lacey will lose
a good many votes here, thanks to his
fool friends. He will lose Jasper and
Keokuk. Mallaska, Monroe. Davis,
Poweshiek and Wapello must elect
him. Cummins and Garst will have
votes to burn. the legislature will not
be democratic, Senator Maytag in
Jasper will be reelected. and the dem
ocratic candidate for the house. and
the whole county ticket (democratic).
with possibly one exception, will be
elected.
