A DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION
NEEDED.

We have claimed many times that
what Iowa needs more than anything
else is democratic administra ton for
time, and now comes the ultra-republi-
can Cedar Rapids Republican to our aid
in establishing oar claim. Read care
fully what The Republican says, as
follows:
The Des Moines Capital is now afraid
that the continuation of the factional
fighting in the republican party may re-
suit in the election of democratic adj
ministration in Iowa next year. Well,
we came within an inch of doing that
last fall and nobody trembled over the
prospect. Horace Boies, democrat,
was governor of Iowa, once upon time,
and the state moved on just the same
and the people were just as happy as
they ever had been, and just as prosper
Gus. A better man than Horace Boies
never sat in the governors chair in
Iowa. He was governor in a business
way, too, and he saw to it that state ex-
penditures were kept down.
The republican party, it must be con-
fessed, has been running the state more
for the delectation of it's politicians and
bosses than it has been running the
state for the good of the people. There
has been great deal of pretense about
the interests of the people, for every
sincere man knows that it has been in
sincere, part and parcel of the political
game of humbug and tomfoolery. The
republicans are quarreling among them
selves not about the welfare of the peo-
pie, but about the loaves and fishes for
themselves and their followers. They
think they own the state for their own
exploitation and advancement.
Such is the truth as it strikes many
observers. The republicans as we'll
take cognizance of the widespread
knowledge that such is the truth. If
they will conduct themselves accord
ingly, they may win the next victory as
they have won them for many years
But if they don't they won't. And that
lis the end Of the matter.

The defeat of Allison for senator
would be national event. At this time
it looks as if he would be retired. He
has been in the senate since 1873. Sen
ator Allison is now in his 10Th year, the
Oldest man in the senate in point of
service and the oldest in years except
Senator Whyte of Maryland. For the
last two sessions Senator Allison has
not been in good health, and has hardly
been able at times to attend to his
duties at the capitol. 1t was gossiped
some months ago, when Governor Cum
minis entered the race for the senator
ship, that Senator Allison would give
way and would not seek another term.
On the contrary, Senator Allison's
health has lately become more vigor-
Gus; he is determined to be candidate
and try to get seventh term; he pur-
poses to step aside for nobody, and he
has begun, despite his fourscore years
to marshal his forces for the struggle in
the primaries in Iowa with great energy
There are plenty of aspirants for the
senatorship who will secretly aid Gov
ernor Cummins in his effort to defeat
Allison. Then they will endeavor to
defeat Cummins. Most prominent of
these is eX-Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw, who, although resident of New
York City, claims Iowa as his home.
Since the sudden deaths of Senators
Morgan and Pettus, the two "grand old
men of the SOUTH" the Difference that
was paid to age and the sentiment sur
rounding it are not so strong in Iowa

There is one thing worse than a

is when public official cannot agree
with himself. State Superintendent
Riggs is out in long statement to the
effect that the shortage of teachers in
Iowa is altogether imaginary. He says
that we have 10000 teachers and only
10000 positions in Iowa, hence there is
no possibility Of a shortage. The Iowa
Educational Directory for the school
year 1906-1907, issued by the depart
ment of public instruction, of which Mr.

Senator Allison has at last definitely
announced that he will be candidate
for reelection. This undoubtedly
means repetition of the bitter fight of
last fall. Unless there has been a
change of opinion among the people in
the past year, there is not much doubt
as to the result. The people of Iowa
honor Senator Allison for his long and
faithful service and his great abilities,
but the principles for which Gov. Cum
Minis stands are popular with the people,
and the trend of events of the nation
shows that the sentiment for legislation
along the lines which he suggests is
growing rather than diminishing.
