nomination will be bright. If he fails
in the Eleventh, Mr.. Cummins will be
an easy winner"
Truly this is year of unrest, polit-
ically speaking" sadly remarks the
Sigourney News. The News hopes
that this year the republicans will
have peace, love and harmony"
The Brighton Enterprise would like
to know what is the use to work and
worry and skimp and cheat and lie to
save up a pile of money for somebody
else after you are dead? The old doc
trine, eat, drink and be merry, for
tomorrow We may die seems to be the
best after ALL"
"Take our word for it, there will be
more political dust flying around thru
Iowa in the next few months than ever
flew before, and the next republican
convention may be expected to be a
red hot soiree,' predicts the Chelsea
Independent I'VE are going to see if
we have to walk!"
The LeMars Sentinel notes that the
Eleventh district embraces more
newspapers vigorously against Perkins
than all of the rest Of the state to-
gether.
"Grundy county is fortunate in hav-
ing as her representative a man who
believes in progressive measures, who
will vote for things that will benefit
the people and who has enough con-
fidence in his party to believe that his
prospects for denomination will not be
injured if the primary bill becomes a
law declares the Grundy Republican.
eff you stand for good, clean, and
honest administration of state affairs,
support Hon. A. B. Cummins, who
stands for the people and dares to do
that which benefits the people most re-
CARELESS of corporations" advises the
Burt Monitor.
"Mr. Perkins may protest" says the
Odebolt Chronicle. "He may say that
he has not communicated in person
with Mr.. Blythe. But the people who
are hand in glove with Blythe-employ-
ed by the same railroads-are not only
supporting Mr.. Perkins but are in
charge of his campaign. And is there
a leading railroad attorney in Iowa who
is not working for Mr.. Perkins," asks
the Chronicle eff so, we want to learn
his name. Tom Bennington, who rep
resents the Northwestern in this part
of the state, is for Perkins; so is James
C. Davis, of Des Moines, and a long
list Of others we might name" The
Chronicle declares it has mo prejudice
against railroad attorneys Many of
them we know and esteem. But with
the issues at stake in this campaign
their candidate cannot be our candi-
date. We say plainly their attitude
this year means that the corporations
are striving to defeat the wishes of
the masses"
"The conviction on the part of so
many legislators that it is essential to
have a prosecutor who will not be
hampered by local entanglements, di
reefs attention to the mistake which
was made when the district attorney
was abolished observes the Des
Moines Capital "That change was
another yielding to the demand for
reform for which the public has been
paying a handsome premium ever
since In the days when there was
district attorney who covered a circuit
the same as a district judge, there
was little complaint about Indifferent
or timid prosecutors. Strong men fill
ed the office and law violators We're
made to realize that a prosecution
backed by the state was just what it
was intended tot be-a proceeding to
vindicate the majesty of the law"
