| Des Moines, July 31.-Information
direct from Mahaska county has come
| to Des Moines from two different
sources recently to the effect that
| Lacey is making all preparations to
run for governor. and this fact was
| announced in this correspondence. 1t
was at first supposed that Lacey as
candidate for governor was the pro-
gram only in the event that Allison
was the candidate for the senate. Now
there is slight hint that Lacey may
be the candidate of the standpatters
for the governorship, whether or no,
and that Congressman Smith of the
Ninth district may be the candidate for
the senate in case Allison stays out.
BY the same information from Bur-
lngton it is claimed that there is a
hint that there is something in the air
as to Senator Allison being a candidate.
The information is rather indefinite
but taken in connection with the long
editoralin the .Clarillda, Iowa, Herald,
standpat paper in which there is q
vein of complaint against Allison's
candidacy. it is interpreted as meaning
that there is something doing"
The Clarinda Herald is published in
Congressman Hepburn's home town. 1t
says it is nonsense to talk of its be-
ing an insult to Allison to not allow
him. to die in the senate and refers
to the fact that Allison defeated Har-
Ian on the claim that Harlan was an
old man and that Allison was better
able to serve the people. 1t says:
Many people feel that under the con-
ditions existing Senator Allison should
not ask his friends to make a fight
for him in which there are so many
elements of weakness" 1t says Alli-
sons campaign managers Will find
his length of service "a very great ele-
ment of his weakness and that it cam
not be shouted down."
The Clarinda Herald thus uses Ian
guage that many of the standpat news
papers have been saying is heresay
when uttered by progressive news
paper and it is not understood by the
progressive politicians, tho there are
many theories advanced.
Despite The fact that the American
Federation of Labor and affiliated or
CARNATIONS have subscribed thousands
of dollars to the defense of Haywood,
yet he is considered by them as one
of their greatest opponents. The Iowa
trades unions alone subscribed over
$4,000 for his defense, but as President
A. L. Trick stated. it was mo love
for Haywood or his organization that
caused them to send the money, but
the great underlying principle of the
justice of the law and the just en-
forcement of the law
The westerners are attempting to
do the same thing with US that Debs
did with the B. of l.. Z. When Debs
was secretary and treasurer of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
he conceived the idea of forming
new organization which would take in
all the old brotherhoods. He called
the new organization the American
Railwaymen's Union.
1.-The western people were formerly
connected with the American Fedora
ton of Labor, but became dissatisfied
with the policy the trades unions were
pursuing and drew away from the A.
f. of L. and established the Western
Federation of Labor and afterwards
the Industrial Workers of America.
They believed that the trades unions
had become out of date and had out
lived their usefulness. Therefore they
organized as they thought an organ
ization which they believed would be
more effective. Where we organized on
trade lines they organized on indus
trial lines. Under our system each line
of trade is expected to conduct the
affairs Of that particular trade while
under the western system all the
trades help decide the affairs of the
other.
They believe in the organization o.
whole industries as for instances the
builders union which embraces the
bricklayers, fathers and all the trades
which are engaged in the construction
of the building. Then if the fathers
should become dissatisfied they would
have to consult with all the other
trades included in the builders union
before they could strike. Under our
system if the fathers become dissatis-
fed they decided for themselves
whether they will strike or not and
then if they need assistance they can
call upon the other unions for aid. If
the other unions do not approve of
the strike they can show their disap-
prevail by Withholding aid.
'"The members of the western or
CARNATIONS are for the most part So
cialists and are in favor of the So
cialstic form Of government and in
dustry. We are too conservative for
them They are an extremely radical
set Their one object is to absorb the
A. F. of l.. and we have been engaged
in fight with them since their organ
ization When members Of the A. F.
of l.. are out on strike the westerners
send in their men to break up the
strike and in this way secure foot
holds all over the country. At one time
they had the A. F. of L. driven clear
out Of an Ohio mining town and it
was come time before We finally re-
gained our foothold there. 1t is because
Haywood is at the head of this organ
