Removing the Circle.

Major Lacey, candidate for con.

removal Of the circle from the ballot
is mistake. Much as we dislike to
disagree with our distinguished friend,
we will have to beg his leave to do so
at this stage of the game. 1t was the
fairest thing the Republicans of Iowa
nave done in years. And it was no,
aone then In order to be fair, but the
standpatters in the legislature wanted
10 defeat the primary law and con.
ceded that much to the Democrats II
they would help them let 60 Of the
primary law.
The primary law may come yet, but

the situation and got their concession
are entitled to a high monument in
token of the gratitude we feel towards
them. 1t was a master stroke. And
II was square deal. The Republic.

nothing fair or right about the ballot

nothing fair or right about the ballot
with the circle. 1t tended to confuse
the voter and served no good purpose
whatsoever. All it did was to intimi-
date the voter and make it almost i'm
possible for him to vote anything but
the straight ticket.
We say it was unfair for that very
purpose because there is no argument
except partisan expediency Il the So
called straight ticket" Any chump
can vote the straight ticket, but when
1t comes to discriminating and select
ing the wheat from the chaff and
throwing out the bad and holding fast
to the. good, 1t takes some thought and
some brain and some sense. With the
circle removed from the ballot there
is no chance for confusion and every
chance for using ones judgment.
So now, when you do not wish to
vote the entire ticket, you can place a
cross before every name. Indeed, you
have to do that. 1t is the only way.
There is no danger of losing your vote
and instead Of confusing the voter it
helps to arrive at the conclusion he
wishes.
go II Major Lacey, whom we respect
as an able man, will excuse us, we
will disagree with him on this propo-
sition and we will say that the re-
moval of the circle was a step in the
direction,of good government, although
that was not the object the stand
patters had in view And we owe a
debt of gratitude to the Democrats
who were wise enough to bring it
about.

Attacking cummins.

What few Republican newspapers
there are that are supporting Cummina
say that Porter's opening speech at
Ottumwa is nothing more or less than
an attack on Cummins. and that he
did not discuss the issues, but devoted
his time to abusing Cummins. Yet the
Sioux City Journal, which has always
been considered pretty good Repub-
lican paper, prints Porter's speech in
full and says Cummins is the real
issue Of this campaign. And isn't that
true? What else is there in this
fight? Before Cummins was nominated
we all thought it would be fight for
tariff reform. We were told by Cum
minis himself, and the writer heard
him say it in speech at Keokuk, that
the tariff should be reformed, yet he is
now running on standpat platform,
and this in spite of the fact that he
had the convention. II the convention
had been close, there would have been
some excuse for Cummins to trim, be-
cause half loaf is better than no
bread. But Cummins had the entire
works. He captured the entire camp
OF the standpatters, breastworks,
siege guns, small arms, colors, ammu.
milton wagons, commissary and foot,
horse and dragons, but he surren-
dered just when he had won the VIC
tory and the enemy wrote the plat
form. So, why shouldn't we criticise
Cummins and Cumminsism? Would
Porter be doing his duty if he did not
show up Cummins' peculiar action?
When an army captures the enemy
they never allow the vanquished forces
to dictate the terms of surrender, but
write the articles themselves. Even
Grant was criticised severely for CIV
ing the confederates such liberal
terms at Appomatox. How much more
is Cummins to be censured when he
not only does not write the terms of
capitulation, but lets the enemy run
off with the entire prize of the battle?
Do you really believe that Cummins
is a true reformer? If you do, then
Porter ought to hold up his hands.
We, and about half the Republicans Of
Iowa, think he is what the poker play
ers call "fourflusher," therefore Por-
ter ought to puncture his tire, and he
ID doing it.
