Des Moines June 1.--Republican
voters of Iowa are not to be stampeded
BY the railroads. The trap set for
them will moi work. Even with the ac-
cessory of bribery and bulldozing the
stampede promises to fizzle out before
the close of its first week.
The plot was clearly planned and the
new managers OF the Perkins cam
paigl. fresh with the zeal of democrats
still clinging to them. have hoped to
carry the people off their feet with a
dashirg finish. The Blythe counties
were bunched for last Saturday, and
with their garnering came the purchase
OF Dubuque county. the attempted
stealing ot Delaware, and the actual
securing of Chickasaw by bribery.
Then the railroad machine gave the
word for everybody TO ''holler" long
and loud.
But news received this week indi-
Gates that it will take more than mon
ey and gall to sweep the republicans of
Iowa off their feet in this campaign.
Wright county refused to be led to the
slaughter. I'ayette gave answer to the
plotters. and I'ayette spoke the voice
of I.arrabee. Today Franklin will have
its say. Altho the scheme to get this
county away from the progressives was
cleverly laid, it iss now regarded as
certain that ii will not waver. Frank
lin had a candidate of its own five
years ago and supported him loyalty
and true But the sentiment of the
county is today with the republican
governor of Iowa.

News from the 'reservation' is to
the effect that another of the counties
counted ON as being absolutely under
the control of the dictator. who sits in
his office in Burlington and does the
bidding of James J. Hill, will repudiate
the great boss. Lucas county has a
large population of laboring men.
There are many coal mines. These
men are found to he almost solidly for
progressive principles. Then the farm
ers are getting their eyes open to the
fact that the railroads are making a
bugaboo out of the alleged free trade
and other foolishneSs which has false
hood alone for backing, and these
southern Iowa farmers will today
throw off the yoke. For long time
the progressives conceded Lucas to the
Blythe managers but the people them
selves have risen up and demanded
that a count be made to show where
they are. The progressives now claim
Lucas.
Most excellent news also Games from
Jasper and Poweshiek counties and
from Muscatine and Scott. Before the
week is over Hardin and Story will
also have recorded their verdict, and
a hole will have been made in Dallas,
Blackhawlz and Poweshiek.
The standpatters are hoping for
Story. They count it as absolutely
necessary to them. They have sent
men and money without stint into the
Besides sending j. ID. Kamrar,

program they have sent lSalinger, of
Carroll the fiery lawyer who was so
severely censured by the supreme
court for unprofessional methods a few
months ago. They have used Lafe
Y oung and Berryhill and the emissar-
les of THE Des Moines banks that feel
so sore because they have had to pay
the state something. But above all
else, they have relied on Judge Will
lam o. Payne, of Nevada.

The news that La Toilette might
come into the state for a few remarks
anent the general situation has scared
the railroad men. They have sent to
washington hurry call for Shaw. and
he is to go into Jasper county to tell
the farmers how to vote. OF course, he
will again denounce the idea of pri-
mary law and state that the people do
not know enough to be trusted to select
their candidates. He will also de-
nollnce as populists all who fail to
agree with him that it is right to have
American protected manufactures sell
abroad at a lower price than they sell
to Americans.
The suggestion of La Toilette again
drew attention to the fact that the
fight in Iowa is much like that in the
nation at large. 1t is the same fight
here that Roosevelt is putting UP at
Washington. 1t is a situation similar
to that which caused the breaking up
of parties for time in Wisconsin. The
politicians are in full charge
of the campaign. They want to NOM
mate Perkins. but if they cannot and

they will bring out a dark horse cam
didate. But they want to be able to
send word to Aldr.ich and Elkins and
kean and Lodge that Iowa has given
them endorsement and announcement.
and that the progressive program of
Roosevelt and Cumnins and men OF
their kind is not approved in Iowa.
