(Clarinda Herald)
Senator Allison is an old man, and
a sick man He has been very use
full man, and if allowed to take good
care Of himself and be relieved from
the pressing and annoying features
of official life, he will probably live
a number, of years, and his good adj
vice could be given and will be just
as eagerly sought while in retirement
as if he were nominally occupying
seat in the senate. The intimate
friends of Senator Allison ought to
consider the interests of the republic
can party as being of paramount i'm
portance to that of personal gratifi
cation. 1t is worth more to have a
live, energetic young republican in the
senate than to carry on campaign
based on the simple proposition that
owing to long service, Senator Alli-
son should be allowed to die in the
harness. This dying in the harness
is ".ommy-rot,' and is not applied
in any other line of business capacity
than simply in the United States con-
gress. The people are tired of 1t, and
the selfish men who are standing back
of Senator Allison and forcing him
to make g campaign, ought to be
ashamed of themselves for requiring
such load to be carried by one who
has worked as faithfully in the past
as he has. The whole matter is
summed up by the Cedar Rapids Re-
publican in the following sentence:
The most important question is
hardly the return of Senator Allison.

States senatorship to the republican
party That is the imminent ques-
ton"

WHAT THE COUNTY PAPERS SAY.

The amount Of news and Information
that concentrates in the exchange edi-
tors room where several hundred
weekly newspapers find their way fifty
two times times year is astonlsh-
ing. Thousands and hundreds OF
thousands of items of interest to some
one and in some community. Thous-
ands of news notes of interest to the
state and the world. Political opinion
that comes from close to the soil and
the voter who tills it. The daily
newspaper is the state and all outside
at glance The county papers are
each a panorama of the life of a county
and community They publish news
at first hand from the painting of

Just now the concensus Of the
county press opinion and report is
that corn wasn't seriously injured by
the frost and that the crop will be
pretty fair yield. OF course the spec

county newspaper man didn't get his
information by wire. He yelled across
the street to the man who planted and
tended it, and who will husk and sell or
feed it. '.Hows the corn" said the
editor. why. Tn goin' to have a

And it is dollars to doughnuts that he
was right.

FOLLOW CUMMiNS' LEAD.

Senator Allison has spoken der1nltely
on the question raised by his more
prominent supporters for third term
He will not stand for the notification
of the intent and purpose of the pri-
mary law as has been suggested and
urged by the leaders of the anti-Cum-
minis coterie. Forced into the open by
Governor Cummins' simple assertion
of his intent to do what every friend
and foe knew he would do, Senator AL
lison has come forward with pledge
to abide by the majority voice Of the re-
publican state primary. If the vote Is
against him he will voluntarily with
draw his name from further considera-
ton ms a candidate. His statement is,
in effect, direct reputation of GER
tain newspapers that have assumed to
speak for him. 1t is also plain, COM
nonsense, good politics. With all
Difference to the senator and his mo-
tiyes, what else was left him to do?
Some are likely to ask why, when
the senator was a candidate by per-
sonal announcement, and newspapers
friendly to his hopes Were engaged In
melting republicans to bolt and elect q
democrat, the senator did not com,
forward long ago to quiet the disturb
ing voices of his own political house
hold. From the professional politicians
viewpoint that would have been better
politics than to wait as usual until
smoked out. by the progressive can
tlidate's announced readiness to submit
to the popular will. To have refused
ito follow Cummins lead on the pri-
mary would have turned thousands of
sincere supporters away from the ven
cradle senator. However earnest the
senator may be in his desire to sub
NIT his candidacy to the direct decision
of the voters there remained nothing
else to be done after Governor Cum
Minis frank pledge was given and the
senator's belated announcement, While
extremely satisfactory leaves the UNI
decided voter Wondering why it was
thus belated. It is just to say however,
that while some of the assumed guar
dams Of Allison believed he could be
induced to become a party to the pro-
posed notification, the men and news
papers that are opposing his present
candidacy never believed that he would
lend himself to a scheme conceived in
jealousy and grasped as an instrument
of revenge.
AS matters now stand the men whom
have been bowling harmony while do
ing all in their power to disturb and
harass. are likely to suffer some en-
barassment. We can, if we choose,
have a quiet tho earnestly contested
primary selection between two eminent
republicans. What are they going to
do about 1t?

Cummins should win" notes the Dav-

the coincidence that "He entertained

The Clarinda Herald (standpat) says
s"The Allison succession discussion is
not attracting as much attention as it
did a short time ago. principally for the
reason that those who are personally
interested in Senator Allisons candi-

no argument in urge for his renomina-

working successfully"

alleges, he certainly landed in high
