the WATERWAYS CONVENTION.
Governor Davidson, Of Wisconsin, Ad-
vises Going Slow in Movement.

0OV0CuOT 0AVt0oSup VI VvSSSOUSiSS ~
vises Going Slow in Movement.
Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 4.-Governor
Davidson, of Wisconsin, was one of the
principal speakers at the lakes-to-gulf
waterways convention, which opened
here today. He has not been carried
off his feet by the enthusiasm over the
project, altho recognizing possibilities
from the scheme.
Governor Davidson declared that the
scheme for deepening the channel Of
the Mississippi river should not be
entered upon until the federal and
state governments had made a most
thorough investigation of its feasi-
bility. 'The problem OF transportation
in It's various phases" he said, "must
be considered as a unit. Water and
railway transportation are subject to
the same general rules. If the Mis-
sissippi river is ever again to become d
factor in transportation facilities, it
must be greatly improved so as to en-
able those who utilize it for navigation
to adopt themselves to conditions
which competition with railroads
make imperative. The commerce which
the river will support is the only justi-
fication for the improvements and if the
railroads can carry commodities at a.
lower rate than light draft river boats,
then 1t Is a waste of money and energy
to construct and maintain a channel.
AS a regulator of freight rates. it
would be an Ill chosen remedy. If the
railroad represents economic progress
over river navigation, then it is an
unyyise public policy to spend many
millions of dollars in deepening river
channels. Rather than such result,
the charges of railroads Should be re-
stricted to reasonable bounds by eff
ficient public agencies"

son allows his campaign to be man
aged by Ed Hunter and Charles john
ston as did George ID. Perkins he must
accept the odium that will be attached
to him just as did George d. Perkins.
Politicians of all political persuasions
have been expressing the hope that
the coming campaign will be in every
way clean one and to the statement
that no one can prevent certain per-
sons supporting his candidacy for an
office 1t Is always answered back that
he can prevent odious persons from
taking charge of his headquarters. and
managing his campaign. And 1t Is
charged that active management OF
candidates campaign by railroad and
corporation emisarries presnpposes and
implies an understanding between the
candidate on one side and the railroads
and corporations on the other.
If the standpat press will accept in
good faith the declaration of Senator
Allison and Governor Cummins as to
their candidates. and II Senator Alli-
son will prevent Ed Hunter and Char
lie Johnston and the railroads from
running his campaign and will call in
Dell, Huntoon the lobbyist OF the sa-
looms and insurance corporations, from
canyassing the state in his behalf,
there will be no lining UP of the ticket
between progressives and Blythe-
standpatters from senator and gov
ernor down to dog catcher.
1t may he said here. however, that
the progressives Of Iowa are as alert
as ever. They have conducted fight
spreading over some years in an at
tempt to convince the railroads and
corporations and corrupt politicians
that they cannot run the state of Iowa.
From times when Ed Hunter and oth-
er railroad lobbyists went boldly onto
the floor Of the house and senate and
handed out railroad transportation
they have progressed by hard battles
till they have made such a thing not
to be tolerated by any legislature in
Iowa and Ed Hunter no longer shows
his face inside the legislative halls.
During the last campaign the pro-
gressives think they carried the last
rampant Of corrupt corporation poll
tics when they made 1t certain that no
one can be nominated OF elected to an
office in Iowa who has the support of
such interests. 1t can be said that the
progressives stand not upon niceties
and the character of the coming cam
paign will be such as the candidates
themselves invite.
