not pledge their nominee for represen-

he has no power. If they do he may be
blamed for not carrying out the pledge
The officers who have the power to
carry out the provisions Of the railroad
law are the railroad commissioners and
the states railroad attorney. Governor
Hoch made an excellent appointment
when he named Carr Taylor as state s
railroad attorney. but there seems to be
some doubt as to whether the governor

Of the things Barton county Republic

There is also considerable disaffection
in the Republican ranks because OF the
nominees for railroad commissioners. It
is generally understood that two Of the
nominees were named by railroad IN

low that they would be unfair to the
peoples interests. but that would be the
inference. The State Journal believes

Few men have paid as dearly for po-

services in demand beyond the limits of
his power to respond, he exchar1ged the
highest honors of his chosen profession,
and with them the pleasures Of social
life, unmixed with political complica-
tons and partisan antagonisms, for d
career inevitably involving pecuniary
loss, position inviting him TO laborious
days and an infinite variety of annoy
ances and cares. In the fierce light
which during the recent campaign was
thrown upon his official career. the
Tninutest inspection did not bring out
a single suggestion of motive for hold
ing office other than an ambition to
serve the public faithfully and efficient

completion the reform work so vigorous
~ begun by him. It has been charged
that the governor still cherishes his early

held to be altogether worthy. Far from
regarding himself as the only man in
Iowa who could lead his party to VIC
tory in the coming campaign. Governor
Cumrnins earnestly urged his political
friends to unite upon some one who
would take up his work and carry it on
to conclusions. But his influential sup
porters were found to be united in in
