TO THE TAX PAYERS OF wINNEsHIEK.
Some lncontrovertible Facts Concerning
Local Matters Which Should Have
the Attention Of all Tax
Payers.

The managers of the campaign fol
the rem omination of Gov. Cummin.
for third term are trying to turn the
attention of the voters away from the
consideration of the real issue.
They are trying to convince the people
that there is an emergency which
demands the reelection of Gov. Cum.
Minis for third term, thus comforting
upon him an honor which no other
chief executive of Iowa has over
sought. They would place him above
Kirkwood and Larrabee and Shaw; in
fact above any of the men who have
been chosen governors of Iowa since it
became state.
The governing ambition of Gov.
Cummins is to become United States
senator and to that end he is exerting
"every ounce of power" which he
himself and his machine can produce to
keep himself in the center of the stage
in the hope that something may happen
which will enable him to succeed
Senator Allison as United States sena.
tor from Iowa. 1t is i'm
possible by reason of the promise
which he made in his first speech at
Ft. Dodge and the vehemence with
which he protested his loyalty to Sena-
tor Dolliver, that he should seek to un-
seat the junior senator, hence he can
only hope to defeat Senator Allison.
This is the object of his
unseemly scramble for third
nomination and it was this
reason alone for his machine trying to
hide the real issues of the campaign
from the voters.
The issues of this campaign are three
in number.
First. The tariff question. Gov.
Shaw we'll said in his recent speech
at Newton that the only phase in the
contest in Iowa which is recognized
outside the state is tariff revision, and
the success of the candidate who calls
the effects of the Dingley tariff bill
robbery, would be looked upon every.
where as repudiation by the state
of Iowa and of the National
Republican party. In making
this statement Secretary Shaw,
who came direct to Iowa from
the councils of the President, brought
q message Of genuine Roosevelt repub-
licanism.
Second. Official extravaganza which
has increased expense of the Cummins
administration l3 per cent over that
of Gov. Shaw and, in spite of largely
increased receipts from other sources
has necessitated the increase of the
burden of taxation placed upon the
shoulders of our people, 81 per cent.
Third. The demand that the un.
written law of the state should be
violated and that third term be
given to Gov. Cummins as chief ex-
ecutive of Iowa.
Along these lines the campaign
should be conducted for they are in
fact the real issues before the people.
The question of increased taxation
caused by official extravaganza, appeals
directly to all classes of citizens. The
expenditures of the Cummins admin
istration as stated above, have exceed
ed those of Gov. Shaw by 43 per cent.
A comparison of these expenditures
with the cost of other administrations
back as far as Gov. Larrabee is shown
in the following table which is de.
rived from official sources and cannot
be contradicted:

tax payers have contributed to meet

istratiOn of Gov. Shaw

istration of Gov. Cummins:

Fighting Regiments.

B. Wright, Co. K, 132d Pa, Scran-
ton, Pa, agrees perfectly with what H.
E. Valentine said about fighting regi-
ments in the issue of Aug %. 'Inas-
much as all regiments entered the SER
vice for the purpose of fighting their
country'S battles whenever and wher-
ever called upon, is it not an unjust
discrimination that places them in two
classes, the one superior to the other,
by its fighting quality, in the percentage
of loss required by the dictum of Col.
Fox?" Comrade Wright thinks that
grading a regiment by the number lost
in notwithstanding that the more kill
ed and wounded, the more brilliant and
brave the work done-is an absolutely
false one. He says: Heavy losses may
be the result of great bravery and
splendid work. Again. they may be
chargeable to cowardice and inefficiency
of officers and men. According to the
standard of Col Fox's fighting regi-
ments, the least deserving are likely to
be credited with the best work To
illustrate: The regiment to which I be-
longed fought over four hours in the
battle of Antietam, and out of 500 men
engaged it lost 80 killed and ia
wounded. many only slightly wounded
Again, this regiment in the charge at
Fredericksburg, Va, Dec. 13, 1862, on
Marye's flights, out of $40 engaged
lost $50 in less than 15 minutes. At
Antietam. where it fought, the sunken
road in front was literally filled with
dead rebels, three deep in some places.
This showed desperate fighting. and the
wonder is that all We're not annihilated.
from the number of shots fired. Tho
reason why our loss was so compare
lively light was on account of our posi-
ton. while the enemy. who were more
exposed, lost heavily. AT Fredericks-l
burg, on the other hand, we were in
one of the most exposed positions in
making our charge, and accomplished
nothing. tho We lost so heavily. Gen.
in referring to the charge
made by the 1921 Pa, said: mo troops
could have displayed greater courage.
but they miscalculated the strength OF
the line behind the stone wall in front
Of them" According to Col. Fox, the
132d Pa. will never be classed as a
fighting regiment. yet 1t did all that
was required of 1t during its term OF
service. 1t helped put down the rebel
lion and to restore the Union. The ;!
best could do no more"

ARMY OF THE
CUMBERLAND,
Continued from page one. }

was a possibility-dropping Chatta-
nooga and rushing off with his whole
army to join Longstreet and crush
Burnside. By menacing or capturing
Chickamauga Station Bragg would be
thrown back in any event beyond
where he began the Chickamauga cam
paign.
Osterhaus was to add to the prob
lens disturbing Bragg's mind by turn
ing off with his division from Wau-
hatchie towards Trenton. This being
in full view of the rebel signal station
on Lookout Mountain, would lead Bragg
to think a movement was intended. like
that of Thomas in September, to cross
Lookout Mountain and strike at his
rear.
Such was the plan of attack which
Gen. Grant explained at length to Sher-
man and Thomas on Nov. 16. With
characteristic thoroness he took them
with him to personally examine the
ground over which Sherman was to
make his crossing of the river and de-
liver his blow on ,Bragg's right flank.
Surveying the position for some time
over the high hills on the north bank,
they dismounted from their horses and
slipt forward from tree to tree until
they reached the very bank of the river,
and were SO close that they could hear
the Confederate pickets talk on the
opposite bank. From this point they
could see plainly the end of Mission
Ridge where it abuts upon the Ten
nessee. great mamelon, with rounded,
bare sides. like an immense haystack
Thomas had known its importance
from the first. Grant had recognized
it in looking for a key to the situation,
and Sherman took it all in with one
swift glance, appreciating fully the sig
nificance of the work cut out for him.
He started back to Bridgeport to hurry
up his force, and believing that he
could make better time by floating down
the swift current of the swollen Ten
nessee, he set out in a rowboat, labor
ing at the oars with his own hands
much of the way.
Grant planned to deliver his stroke
five days later, Nov. 81.
ITO be continued.)
