The Cedar Rapids Republican

Gratis with the sincerity of man
who believes what he says. He was
received with much applause.

governor fell to John D. Dennison,
who made a short speech in honor
of the occasion. He is brilliant
talker aud full of force"
The democrats Of Iowa are proud
of these two young men, and every

reason for the feelings they now ell,

Governor cummins and the Democrats

Kindness occupies the same re-
lation to the science of christian
theology, that honesty does to the
art of politics. Jefferson contended
that ''the whole art Of politics con-
sisted in being honest Not that
honesty could be unerringly relied
upon to furnish the best solution of
every public question, but that hon
esty filled to overlooking the measure
of good citizenship. Everyone who
is true to himself and does what he
believes to be right, guided by the
lights he has, is good citizen.
Such man usually enjoys the con-
lidence and respect of his fellow
men.
When Governor Cummins took
tho position that the corporations ex.
erted an undue and harmful III
lluence in our public affairs, and
that all the graft of all the insurance
companies of all time was not one
fifth of the graft of our present
tariff law for a single year, demo-
Gratis believed what he said and SYM
plthized with him in his struggle
for denomination.
At the close of his recent cam
paign the Governor found himself
surrounded by as loyal and militant
a body Of men as ever assembled in
the Capitol Of Iowa. He had taught
them to believe, and they did believe
that Mr.. Perkins was the candidate
of the corporations, and that ma
| jority Of our members of congress
had drifted away from the common
people to become the champions oil
special interests. The Governors
supporters were loyal to degree
They We're ready to follow him GU
of the convention, il the republican
state commit Sc drove him out, and
were willing to stand by him to &
man at the polls.
Ii the Governor had been true t,
himself, il he had stood up squared,
for what he believed, his nomination
would not leave fallen like a we
blanket as it has.
Many democrats believed that t he
Governor was big enough anc
brave enough to stand TO:
what he believed to be right, ane
That no matter what fate had in store
for him he would not bow down tt
the idol OF Party Elk oediency; thai
he would not place party above pub
lie veal. Imagine the feelings o
these democrats when Mr.. Cum min.
publicly announced that If George
D. Perkins was the choice Of a ma
| jority of the delegates at the Des
Moines convention he would have
no warmer supporter in the state o:
Iowa than he, the Governor Anc
when the Governor made another
| bow to the party idol, and eulogizet
congressman who for years have
fought behind the ramparts Of graf
and greed, he caused many asigh Of
regret.
