Pomeroy, April 24.-As one travels
along and gets into the counties nearer
Sioux City, the home of MI. Perkins,
this fact is the more strongly brought
out each day. That is, the people OF
northwest Iowa, regardless of party
or wing of party" would like to have
him for governor if. In other words
if a year ago Uncle George mad aligned
himself with 1.-The progresslves," he
would have had a walk over In secur-
ing the republican nomination for gov
ernor AS it is these same voters are
working as hard to defeat MS guberna-
torial aspirations as tho ne was a bold
bad democrat. From what one hears
up this way, the only counsles he will
carry are Woodbury., Monona and Os-
cola.
Late Young is getting to be some
thing of a boyle man. himself. 1t was
amusing to say the least where few
weeks ago, Late en- route to attend an
editorial gathering in northeast Iowa,
stopped for dinner at Iowa Falls. He
took short walk about town, and
in thirty minutes it was known, and
then began the wondering what was
he here for9 Visions of political
deal, some scheme, some underhanded
work came before us. Whom had he
gone up town to see? And we only

men openly offered them for sale at 5

This is about all the satisfaction re-
publican voters will ever get out of
Candidate Perkins. When Cummins
was testifying in Washington and defy
ing Ellins and his railroad attorneys in
aid of President Roosevelt's program
Perkins was wanting to know, in his
newspaper, why a court review amends
ment would not be all right. When
Cummins was laboring to aid his
friends in the legislature to pass
genuine statewide primary election
law. Perkins, in his newspaper. was
declaring for the primary in principle
but against the bill proposed to enact
that principle into law When Cum
minis was creating sufficient public
sentiment to enable the legislature to
rally votes enough to take away rail-
road passes from the pockets of its
own members Perkins was trying to
thrust sticks between the spokes by
arguing that country newspapers
should also be prevented from buying
mileage with advertising space.
We venture the prediction that thru
out this campaign the above letter is
all the public will ever get out of Mr..
Perkins in the way of an answer as
to where he stands on the public ques-
tons of today. He prefers to malisn
Cummins for opposing railroad control
in 'SS when Larrabee says that Cum
MINIS helped to enact it. He prefers
to ridicule Cummins for favoring free
coinage of both gold and silver at their
market ratio in '93 when Perkins was
shouting for the same thing and when
Cummins came over to the gold stand
ard long before Perkins, or Allison, or
Henderson, or Hepburn did. Like LATE
Young and like Berryhill, who support
ed Cummins for senator against Gear
and who headed his delegation for gov
ernor five years ago, Perkins now
charges that Cummins was so bad
democrat eighteen years ago that he is
not entitled to republican recognition
this year. They say nothing about five
wears ago

Newspapers like the Times Republi-

Cummins. Since free trade and free

The Register and Leader along with

ing that Perkins tell where he stands
or present day issues. An anti-pass
law has been enacted. 1t is important
to know whether Perkins as governor
would be In sympathy with it and give
it vigorous enforcement.
A statewide primary election law
has been proposed to protect the peo-
pie from domination by special inter-
tant that Perkins state whether as
governor he would urge the legislature
to pass such law.
The president needs help in his fight
for rate regulation law that will
not have it's teeth pulled and it's claws
clipped by some artful court review
amendment. 1t is important to know
whether Perkins, as governor, would
aid the president by creating public

to congress to go slow.

for that purpose.
In answer to the question as to where
MIR. Perkins stands on the statewide
primary, his campaign managers are
circulating letter written by Cum
minis in '93 favoring the free coinage OF
both gold and silver at their market

is that Perkins was also free coinage
advocate at that time, while three years

uation in 1903 from Stevens Institute in
Hoboken, went to the Altoona, Pa. shops
of the Pennsylvania Railroad to learn the
technical part of railroad equipment
brought the motor car in. 1t attracted
a great deal of attention.
Young Murphy's aspiration is to be-
come a testing railroad engineer. The

rapid strides made in electrical and gaso~

equipping of its branch lines with such
