How ABOUT THE OLD SOLDIERS?

ViSW HoSOi I1G WILL 0OIOlcn0!
Is the Cummins' machine against
the old soldiers? 1t would look like it
from the results of the primary in
Polk county on Tuesday. The dis
patches to the Courier from Des
Moines say:
THE Cummins crowd managed to
beat Col. L. B. Raymond, the old sol
der candidate for lieutenant governor
and will secure the endorsement Of the
county for Senator Garst for lieuten-
ant governor"
Without any criticism Of Senator
Garst or his candidacy, the fact is un-
questioned that Col. Raymond is one
of the best of Iowa citizens, is wor-
thy and deserving old soldier, and is
eminently qualified to fill the position
OF lieutenant governor But he was
not an advocate of Mr.. Cummins' nom
ination fora third term as governor Of
Iowa, and for that reason he has been
turned down by the Cummins' crowd
Perhaps the old soldiers of Iowa will
have something to say about this mat
ter in the republican state convention,
and perhaps the Cummins people will
then find that they cannot carry out
their scheme as easily as they now
think possible.

Plaindealer: Market street was a
great ribbon of light. Gayly dressed

their eyes. the tint Of roses in their
cheeks and with forms graceful and
voluptuous swept through the white

No one cared and no. one thought Of

We're no stern calls to duty, no crack

From the street you drift into a

solid middle class of Frisco. The al

land would look upon Frisco music

those music halls and slipped glass

more good things to eat and drink, see

If you lived in Frisco thirty days
you fell in love with the town. You
loved the smell Of the sea, you loved

All OF which is nonsense, but no

that Governor Cummins, aided, abet-
ted and supplemented by Mr.. Prouty
presented to their audience at the
opera house Friday night.
No people on earth are more
ably or honestly represented than are
the people of Iowa in congress today.
From these representatives the Presi-
dent is receiving the most able and
loyal support in his efforts to bring
ABOUT practical reforms. To intimate
that the elected representatives of
Iowa either in congress or the legis-
lature are largely owned, controlled
and voted by and in the interests of
the corporations, as did Mr.. Prouty in
his amazing address last night, is an
sample of the kind of stuff that
MIR. Prouty expects the common
people" to whom he so often referred,
to believe in, 1t is only necessary to
cite his statement that Capt. Hutchi-
son, of Ottumwa, was defeated for the
governorship because of the railroad
influence in Iowa politics; when every.
body knows that it was the liquor in
terest aided, assisted and abetted by
A. B. Cummins himself, who brought
about Capt Hutchison's defeat.
Mr.. Prouty declared that he would
rather live in Russia, the subject Of
the car, than be an American citizen
in the state of Iowa under railroad
domination. directed by ]. w. Blythe
and Carroll Wright. AS he had al

politics, Mr.. Prouty made a personal

probably no man in Iowa. outside of
those who have been officers of state
in recent years, is more thoroughly
familiar with state affairs or better
equipped in every way for filling the
office of secretary Of state than Is SEN
ator Hayward of Scott county.
Regarding the criticisms Of the
military at San Francisco, the Mar
shalltown Times Republican says that
when the truth is looked souarely in
the face the work Of the soldiers will
be considered one of the heroisms of
the dreadful disaster.
