that for the present public ownership
Is not needed in Iowa and that voters
will be attracted to the party by the
/ absence of the plank. 1t is main
tanned by the leaders too that political
conditions are being gradually righted
without public ownership OF public
utilities which is a further reason for
leaving out the plank for the present.

| 1T is estimated by politicians Of
| large experience that scarcely a dollar
| of the many thousands of dollars be-
| ing used by Ed. Hunter in an attempt
| to get George ID. Perkins nominated for
| governor on the republican ticket has
come from the people of the state of
| Iowa. Ii is believed that practically all
| OF 1t came from the corporations and
came from the east. On the other hand
the money that has gone into the
Cummins campaign has come entirely
from the people of this state. There
are few, u very few well Ito -io citizens
OF the state who have contributed
sums running to a few hundred dol
lars. The great bulk Of the money that
has been used by the progressives has
come in small amounts from the COM
mon herd VINO are deeply Interested
In the success of the progressive move
ment and in the control of the corpor-
atoms by the state rather than the
control of the state by the corporations.
The progressives have not had to ex-
coed $4,000 and this has been used in
paving for literature and postage
stamps, little in railroad fare for
the Cummins people have no passes
After the legitimate expenses are paid
from fund of $4,000 or $4,000. there
is none left with which to corrupt the
state. The other day citizen of Iowa
who has thrown his whole energy in
the progressive movement went down
into his pocket and dug up a $50 gold
piece that had been pocket piece for
years and put it into the Cummius
campaign. He had given all he thought |
ne could afford before and thought the
pocket piece might Just as we'll be do |,
ing some good for the cause. A good |
per cent of the Cummins campaign |
fund has meant self sacrifice done for
q worthy cause. In the small fund |
that the progressives have had there
has been no tainted money.

]. II. Merrill, standpatter from
Lion In Decatur county. was In this
city yesterday and said Perkins had
made a mistake by putting Hunter In
me headquarters. We are not for
Perkins in Decatur county. but we are
against Cummins. We believe down
here that Rathbun will be nominat-
sd
What do you think of Hunter be-
ms placed in the Perkins headquari-
srs? he was asked.
THAT was mistake. Perkins might
|. one time have been nominated but
he can't be nominated now. | am
I believe the tariff ought

ouched For that reason l am in eav- !
y of Rathbun.'
A great deal of misunderstanding
Exists as to the pure food laws of the
