THEY ARE STILL BOLTlNG CUM
MINIS,

You cannot go anywhere where
there are Republicans of the old
school that you do not find them bolt
ing Cummins. You may think this is
wild talk or the talk of a Democrat
who doesn't know what he is talking
about, but we can assure you that it
is of very little Importance to us
whether the Republicans bolt Cum
Minis or not. 1t is Of vast deal OF i'm
portance whether we tell the truth as
newspaper or not. 1t is important
that every Democratic paper tell the
news.
And to tell that truth it must be
stated there never has been such
sentiment against man as there has
been against Cummins in his own
party. This is not guess work or
dreaming or sleight of hand, but facts.
We have talked with old wheel
horses by the score who say they
would no more vote for Cummins than
for Jeff Davis. They do not use that
name, but they use names that are
stronger if not SO polite. They say
voting for a Democrat is bad enough,
but it is infinitely preferable to voting
for a Democrat in Republican dis
guise. They say, 1--WE take our Re
publicanism 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 Uo have indicated
And scoffing 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 i'll
the business. They say sometimes
the party has to go through fire in
order that it may be purified If Cum
minis is elected it won't be Repub-
lican victory, so you may set it down
that we will not vote for him and we
suspect that there is not a 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
bles. 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.

BLYTHE is FOR THE TICKET.

We see by the Register-Leader's
Washington correspondent tnat Blythe
is for Cummings. Certainly such har-
mony is a beautiful thing to contem-
plate. How blessed it is for brethren
to dwell together in unity! Certainly,
it must be a constant source OF dellght
to regular Republicans to see such
unanimity OF thought among s1H Re
publican voters. Blythe is = the
ticket. 1t seems funny to Democrat
that the Progressives should want
Blythe at all. 1t is wonder to us
that they will allow him to vote for
Cummins at all. And we hardly
think they will let him support the
ticket too openly. He is one OF the
members of the party Of whom Cum
Minis said he was bad company. He
said Perkins was all right, but he was
like good dog Tray, he was caught IN
bad company. And Blythe was that
company.
We can imagine Blythe supporting
Cummins. We really hear him at 1t
and can see him wink the other eye
as he tells his followers never to sleep,
but to work for Cummins in season
and out of season. How he works Tor
the governor and the Hawkeye, the
Cedar Rapids Republican and the Des
| Moines Capital and half a hundred
other papers throw up their old hats
for Cummins.
! A few Republican newspapers are
raising a howl because Tillman in
speech at the Centerville Chautauqua
roasted the negroes and swore the
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 Tillman. Very likely
the people will hold Claude Porter
responsible for what Tillman said.
Besides, if it had not been for Tillman
the railway rate bill that Roosevelt
claims the honor of having had passed.
would have died bornin'. Very likely
the voters will hold Porter response
BILE. They will also hold him account
able for the negro lynching in South
Carolina few days ago, and for the
dynamiting of those Russian officials
and for the railway wreck in England
recently when a lot of Americans
were killed, won't he? How foolish
some Republicans can talk when they
get started.

One Democratic editor ought to
learn a lesson. 1t is Hen Gittinger of
Charlton. He went to the state fair
at Des Moines and was undoubtedly
putting on dog. We know Hen. A
stranger came up to him, so Hen tells
the ato.y, and offered TO sell him a
bed in the National hotel for so cents,
and having the coin of the realm on
his person he clinched the bargain.
He pointed out the hotel to Hen. And
when he got there he found it was the
United States postottice, but the
stranger had disappeared. The Demo-
cratic editors will either have to stay
at home or not carry all their money
around with them. Now, what bust
ness had any Democratic editor with
so cents?

Something Refreshing

in the form of beverage is desired by
everyone, especially in summer, but be
careful what that something is. Before
you take it into your system know that
it is pure and wholesome, that it is free
from disease germs or chemical adulter-
ations injurious to health. Therefore
when you drink, drink OTTUMWA
BEER, which has stood every known
test for absolute purity and healthful-
ness.

Attackinn cummins.

What few Republican newspapers
there are that are supporting Cummlns
say that Porter's opening speech at
Ottumwa is nothing more or less than
an attack on Cummins. and that he
did not discuss the issues, but devoted
his time to abusing Cummins. Yet the
Sioux City Journal, which has always
been considered a pretty good Repub-
lican paper, prints Porters speech in
full and says Cunmins is the real
issue of this campaign. And isn't that
true? What else is there in this
fight? Before Cummins was nominated
we all thought it would be fight for
tariff reform. We were told by Cum
Minis himself and the writer heard
him say it in a speech at Keokuk, that
the tariff should be reformed, yet he is
now running on standpat platform,
and this in spite of the fact that he
had the convention. If the convention
had been close, there would have been
some excuse for Cummins to trim, be-
cause half loaf is better than no
bread. But Cummins had the entire
works He captured the entire camp
of the standpatters, breastworks,
siege guns, small arms, colors, ammu-
milton wagons, commissary and foot,
horse and dragons, but he surren-
dered just when he had won the vic
tory and the enemy wrote the plat
form. So, why shouldn't we criticise
Cummins and Cumminsism? Would
Porter be doing his duty if he did not
show up Cummins peculiar action ?
When an army captures the enemy
they never allow the vanquished forces
to dictate the terms of surrender, but
write the articles themselves. Even
Grant was criticised severely for Civ
ing the confederates such liberal
terms at Appomatox. How much more
is Cummins to be censured when he
rot only does not write the terms OF
capitulation, but lets the enemy run
off with the entire prize of the battle Z!
Do you really believe that Cummins
is true reformer? If you do, then
Porter ought to hold up his hands
We, and about half the Republicans OF
Iowa, think he is what the poker play
ers call "fourfiusher," therefore POI
ter ought to puncture his tire, and h
is doing it.

Speaker Cannon has been inter-
viewed in Maine and he says Iowa
will return solid Republican delega-
ton. Very likely. Of course, Uncle
Joe knows all about it. He knows all
about the fight on Lacey and on Hub
bard and Kennedy and Dawson. He
may say that back in Maine among
those Yankees who think Iowa is set
tied by Indians and buffaloes, but he
won't make such guess nearer the
scene of operations.
