The returns of the late election in
this state which are now practically
complete show falling off in the
republican vote of nearly 100, 900. The
vote for Roosevelt was over 3O7, COO.
The vote for Cummins was 210, 900.
On the basis of the vote given to
Roosevelt the last state convention
had 1,64l delegates. This number
will be reduced two years from
now nearly one-third. every county
in the state sharing in the reduced
representation. Winneshiek county
which had lS delegates in the last
convention will have only Ia two
years from now.

To the shame of those perpetrating
the piratical scheme, certain aspir-
ing ring of would-be politicians in
this city proposed and evidently car
ried out an attempt to trade republi-
can votes for democratic candidates
for county offices, in return for demo-
cratic votes fol Cummins. We have
it upon undeniable authority that a
deal to prevent democratic speakers
who were booked for Winneshiek
county from coming here to speak for
the party was carried out, the recon-
pense to be republican votes for demo-
cratic county candidates. We have no
fault to find with the democrats as
their actions do not concern us, nor
with republicans who scratch their
ticket for conscientious reasons but a
deliberate "sell out' of republican
candidates ought not to be sanctioned
or acquiesced by those who respect
honor and decency in politics.

There is a strong belief that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will appoint Repre-
sentative John +. Lacey of Iowa
commissioner of the general land
office to succeed William A. Richards,
who will relinquish his place at the
same time that Secretary of the
Interior Hitchcock leaves office,
March 4. Representative Lacey has
been defeated for reelection to con-
gress. He is chairman of the house
committee ON public lands and is said
to know all the ins and outs of the
matters that have agitated the land
Office in the last three years.

THE DEFEAT OF LACEY.


The defeat of Cong. John F. Lacey
in the Sixth district will be heard
with sincere sorrow by all gen.
uine republicans-not because person
al humiliation or disaster has come
to distinguished Iowan, but because
of the loss which his defeat means to
the state, says the Des Moines Capt.
tol.
Major Lacey had achieved COM
manding position in the national
house. His splendid abilities as a
lawyer have been recognized in the
important work entrusted to his care
in committee, while as debater and
constructive legislator he had made a
record which will be remembered long
after his own earthly career has been
closed. President Roosevelt is deep
admirer of Lacey and once remarked
to citizens of this state that he re-
garded Lacey as not only one of the
ablest but one of the most unselfish
members of congress.
President Roosevelt meant, as he
explained at the time, that Lacey
worked all the time as though he had
the greatest good of his state and his
country at heart and was willing to
do his best in their behalf, regardless
Of what happened to himself.
81 am standpatter from Standpat-
tersville," said the interpid Lacey as
he faced republican convention
few years ago, just as the perspiring
delegates had succeeded in evolving.
Sin the interests of harmony a
platform on the tariff question which
it was hoped would catch the voters
both coming and going.
Lacey said it because it was the
truth. He stood for principle and
was not afraid to let the people know
it.
It had been evident for several
months prior to the election that
Congressman Lacey was marked man.
He would not kowtow. The Baxter
New Era declared that mo progress
sive would vote for Lacey and the
returns indicate that that prophecy
was fulfilled to the letter.
The defeat of Lacey was part of
the compact entered into in Jasper
county to trade votes for the demo-
cratic candidate for representative.
in order to defeat Representative
Offil. standpatter, and to receive in
exchange democratic votes for Sena-
tor Maytag one of the main spokes
in the progressive" wheel.
Iowa will regret the defeat of Con-
gresham Lacey and the loss which
the district and state has sustained
will be more keenly felt as the days
go by.
The elements which defeated Lacey,
however, have had much to say
about sustaining the president. ("
Perhaps they will be capable of ex.
planning how they have been able to
sustain" him by depriving him of
the services of one of his most
valued counselors and sending a
