Not single man at the conference

have that nigh regard for George D.

months concerning the impeachable
integrity of the man. Up to within the
past two months the "candidate" was

ly placed other words in his mouth and
attempted to. make him say that any
candidate who would not work for the
state ticket should be cut" Another
garbled attempt to misrepresent was
the remarks made by Editor Graham,
of the Neville Mail. who said that the
farmers from the east side of Wood
bury county were dissatisfied with the
in which the Perkins" dele
gates were selected last summer. The
Journal is but another exemplification
of an ''uncrowned ambition" Perkins
had an ambition. It's a laudable anlbi-
ton to want to Sbe governor Of the
great state of Iowa. 1t is laudable that
men (great as Perkins was represented
to be) should want to satisfy that am

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

In other words it is Dolliver. In other
words it is two republicans for United

three issues are one. Vote for Holmes.
Is the Roosevelt administration to
be vindicated and strengthened. by
Iowa republican votes this fall. or is it
to be discredited and disowned? 1t is
up to the republican voters Of Kossuth
county to make their answer at the
polls next month. They will answer
1T by voting for Holmes.

the first year in which the agreement
is to be operative. Assuming that the
Steel Corporation will extract from the
Great Northern's land only the minis

600 tons would be mined up to and in

would be paid to the Great Northern.
There would remain approximately
700 100000 tons of ore, which it would

tons. But as the price increases In
arithmetical progression. during tbs

that the money return to the Great

LA FoLLETTES MORAL VICTORY.
TGlidden Graphic1

La Toilette defeated in Wisconsin is
IA card that has been conspicuously
displayed in many Iowa papers of late.
And yet the principles fop which La
Toilette fought have become so en-
trenched in the hearts Of Wisconsin re-
publieans, and his opponents have
proven such brazen grafters, that they
dare not present a candidate of their
own for a Public office. The only two
candidates for the republican guberna-
torial nomination were La Toilette
men. Wherein, then, has La Toilette
been defeated or rebuked?
The republican platform was framed
in such way that all republicans could
stand thereon without humiliation.
There are still few who are not sat-
isfied, however, but insist on playing
the role Of bushw1ackers Their de-
mands are unreasonable. Nothing but
huiniliating surrender on the part of
Cumnlins would satisfy such rabid
soreheads as Perkins. These men
must be left to work out their own SAL

As SEEN BY a DEMOCRAT.

More light upon the interest certain
railroad politicians have in democratic
politics is shed by the leading demo-
cratic newspaper of the state, the Du-
huqle Telegra pm Herald. When the
resent democratic convention was held
at Waterloo the power of Wilbur w.
Marsh, Waterloo's millionaire manu-
4 facturer, was apparent. Nothing could
A have been more natural after the res.
ig,aa ton of Walt Butler as national
committeeman, than that Marsh should
ask to be named to the succession.
Neither was it strange that the Bryan,
men should insist upon Cato Sells. All
b these things We're to be expected.
But ROW comes the Telegraph Her

reference to the fact that. when the

shruout Iowa and shipping them into
Chicago /, year ago to hold a runp
convention in opposition TO rate reg
ulation convention, Wilbur W. Marsh's
name appears among the delegates to
the railroad convention. Upon this
R Showing it is apparent to the demo-
crtttic Telegraph Herald that the rail-
roads want Marsh for national COM
mitteeman ergo the Telegraph Herald
and al good democrats of the unterri-
fed sort should demand the appoint
ment OF Cato Sells.

railroad politicians in aiding the DEM

Thar BIO ORE DEAF.

Few people have any conception OF
the enormous sum involved in the sale
OF what is known as the Hill or Great
Northern ore properties to the stee
trust. The Great Northern ore lands
are principally situated on the famous
iron ranges Of Minnesota, along the
line of the railway. BY the acquisi-
ton of these sources of supply of the
raw material needed for the manufae-
ture Of steel, the United States Steel
Corporation is virtually placed beyond
the possibility OF having to confront
the problem of looking for such sup
plies in the future.
The negotiations leading up to the
agreement Just concluded have been in
progress for nearly year, and reports
that the "ore DEAF had been put thru
have alternated with rumors of a

The magnitude of this transaction
