his care. But there is no reason why
the INTEREST on these funds should
not go to the people.
Mr.. johnson has made frank and
manly declaration that the interest
shall go to the people. He is entitl-
ed to the thanks of the people for
taking stand that no candidate for
treasurer has ever taken before. He
is entitled to your vote. See that he
gets it.
Mr.. Evers has had ample opportun-
ity to make statement on This sub
ject. His continued silence is evil
dence that if elected he will continue
the present practice of drawing two
salaries-one from the people direct
and one from the people through the
banks. The man who does not vote
to save this $1,000 to $500 a year to
the county, shows himself lacking in
business judgment. He would not dc
it in private business transaction.
He would not give a man this large
sum just because he was democrat
or German or bright boy or TO,
any other reason.
1t is important for the future as
we'll as the present.
If this private graft of the county
treasurer is endorsed by the people
this year it will doubtless continue
for years to come. 1t is not only tht
$4,000 or $4,000. which would be lost
during Mr.. Evers first term. but the
500. 600 or $50, 900 which may be los
before this underground system is an
initiated.
AS a matter of business sense we
would urge all the voters to vote
for U. G. johnson and reform.

EXIT AUTO IMPERIALISM.
Nothing has gone farther to pl

Nothing has gone farther to pro-
claim the correctness of the republic
can Philippine policy than the recent
events in Cuba. Again has inexor-
able time proven that Williams Jenn-
ings Bryan was wrong and that the
Republican party was right.
Cuba was a thousand per cent better
educated for self-government than
the Philippines. Her people were
better educated and more intelligent.
Many of them had had slight ac-
quaintance with governmental affairs,
whereas the Philippines had none.
But in spite of all this, Cuban repub-
lie has. up to this time, proven a
failure. Uncle Sam is now attempt
ing to set the government on it's feet
again and to give it another start.
If this was the case with Cuba

VOTE FOR ROOSEVELT.

There is no good reason why any
man who voted for Roosevelt in 1904
should vote the democratic ticket in
1906.
Roosevelt promises continuance
of prosperity and we have had it.
He promised a square deal" for
every man. and there has never been
a time when riches covered so few
sins as at present.
He has even gone beyond his prom
Uses in his fulfillment.
Rate regulation, Meat Inspection.
The Pure Food Law and the enforce
ment OF the laws against trusts are
all matters for which the people have
to thank Theodore Roosevelt and the
republican administration.
While the election of A. B. Cum
inns might or might not be specific
endorsement of the President. the
election of Porter would be a distinct
blow to the National administration.
1t would be used as an argument
by all the enemies of Roosevelt and
Rooseveltism to snow in what popular
disfavor were his doctrines.
1t would furnish an excuse for timid
members of Congress to excuse them
selves from supporting the President.
The defeat of the state ticket
would leave republicanism and Roose-
veltism so distracted and torn in Iowa
that it would take years to bring the
party to effective action again.
All those who wish to sustain the
Presidential those who believe he
has fought good fght-all those
who wish to see the work continued
on the lines the President has laiG
down, should vote to hold up his hands
this year.
! This cannot be done by the election
of democratic Governor.
] The election of democratic Cover
nor and of a democratic Legislature
might very possibly result in the les
sening of the followers of Roosevelt
in the United States Senate by two
votes. 1t might very possibly serve
to balk the President in the great re
forms that he is prepared to advocate
for the good of the people.
; The question this fall is very much
more important than any matter O
factionalisln.
Stated markedly.
Are you going to give vote O
confidence for President Roosevelt o.
: are you going to turn the state owe
to his enemies.
) There is very little else in the stat
election save questions of persona
ambitions and of piques and pre-
JUDGES.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1906-10-04

The effort of democrats to create
prejudice against the republican party
by general charge that the veterans
of the civil war have been crowded
into the background by Iowa republic
cans will not deceive any we'll inform
ed person. AS a matter of fact there
are more old soldiers in official posi-
tion under republican administration
in Iowa today than ever before. The
democratic assertion that Governor
Cummins did not do his duty by the
Iowa survivors of Shiloh also falls
fiat in the face of the facts. Almost
unaided he fought through to sue
cessful termination their case against
departmental red tape at Washington
and gave of his time and talent with
out compensation.

THE HEARST CANDIDACY.

Out in Iowa it looks as if an editor
ial on "What's the Matter with New
York; should succeed the famous
editorial on ssWhat's the Matter with
Kansas. %
The nomination of Hearst by New
York democracy is not so surprising.
New York democracy has done so
many surprising things under the
leadership of Tammany that they
cease to surprise.
The astounding feature of the New
York campaign is that there should
be any possibility of Hearst election.
The combined democracy and pop
ulism of Nebraska and of Kansas were
safe and sane compared with the vag-
aries of Willie Hearst.
We will not admit that Hearst rep
resents even the reputable radical ell
ement of the United States or of New
York.
Theodore Roosevelt stands for all
that any honest man can stand for
in the way of reform.
Hearst stands for prejudice and
sensationalism.
He is as yellow as his journalism.
He stands as he representative. not
of high-class intelligent labor. but as
a representative of the slums. the
nihilists. the red flag followers of
America.
His motto is not GA Square Deal
for ALL"
He does not ADVOCATE square deal
for any man.
Robbing Peter to pay Paul what
does not belong to him is not square
deal either for Paul or for Peter.
For business reasons Hearst
will have the support of Tammany in
the coming elections. He will have
the support of the ignorant and the
vicious people of the East End of
New York. He will have the support
of a few theorists. He will not
have the support of the great middle
class on which the ultimate salvation
of society depends.
1t would be public calamity should
Mr.. Hearst be elected.

what would have been the effect in
the Philippines? 1t would seem that
the Fates had a special grievance
against Bryan, for one after the other
all of his pet theories are proven to
be wrong. Free Silver. Free trade,
Anti-imperialism all have been ruth
lessly slain by the hand of time.
Is there no lesson in this for the
voter? Can we not honestly doubt
the wisdom of one whose doctrines
cannot stand the test Of time7
Yes. Bryan is infalliably, -infall-
iably wrong.

time has come for reduction in

If those who are opposing his cleo
ton desire debate on the issue as to
rate reduction in Iowa as thus pre-
scented, Governor Cummins probably
would be quite willing to accommo-
date them. His known attitude upon
this question is one reason for much
of the determination to oppose him.

CRAWFORD AN EXAMPLE.

Not long ago it was quite "the
thing" among our republican friends
to poke fun at Crawford county. The
fact that the delegation was "half
and half, 1.-THE fact that this paper re-
fused to be drawn into factionalism.
the fact that Cummins and anti Cum
minis men dwelt together in brotherly
love was considered great joke by
our more belligerent brothers who
were engaged in the pleasing pastime
of cutting each others Threats for the
pleasure of seeing the blood run.
Today the republican party of
Crawford county is in the best condi
tion of any county in the state. The
question of "stand-pat or progress
sive" has not been raised as to our
county ticket. There is not a re-
publican leader in the county who is
not prepared. in good faith. to pull
off his coat and work for the ticket
from top to bottom.
This has been accomplished
without surrender of principle on the
part Of any man. Crawford has in it
some as strong stand-patters" as
there are in the state. They are that
way yet and no one has asked them
to recant or confess their sins or to
humiliate themselves. On the other
hand Crawford has as rampant "pro-
gressives" as are to be found in Iowa
They are not growing, or demanding
"the fruits of victory or setting
themselves up to be the only simon
pure republicans in this neck of the
woods.
The progressives have recognized
the honesty and sincerity of the stand
patters and the stand-patters have re.
cognized that Cummins was fairly
nominated, that he is the candidate
of their party and as such deserves
their support.
In the matter of delegations. OF
candidates and Of committeeman the
questions of factionallsm has not beer
raised and as result the Republicans
of Crawford are marching shoulder to
shoulder to sweeping victory.
Crawford, that was the by-word, is
now the envy of every other county in
the state.
The only enemy we have to defeat
is democracy The prominent stand
patters of the county are voluntarily
pledged to the support of the ticket
from head to foot. What is more
they stand ready to contribute not tc
the success of some pet candidates
but to the. success of the ticket from
A. B. Cummins down to the foot OF
the list.
The harmony in Crawford is due to
the saneness. good sense and good
fellowship of Crawford county
republicans.
We do not mean to say that Mr..
Cummlns was the first choice of all
the republicans of Crawford. We dc
not mean to say but that some may
refuse to vote for HIM. But we dc
say that every active, working repub-
lican has cast his lot with the repub-
lican ticket as whole and that the
number who will bolt their ticket in
the interests of democracy and free
trade is growing less every day.
No, the laugh is not on Crawford
at this time. The other counties hac
their fun with thier shillalahs and art
now nursing their broken heads.
This county is not experiencing the
agonies of the day after. {"
Perhaps it does not show Chris
tian spirit, but we cannot refrain
from smiling one sweet smile at the
expense Of those republicans who bu
a little while ago were having such
terrible lot of fun over poor oil
neutral Crawford
