Des Moines, Sept. 12.-'The devel-
opments of the past week at Des
Moines have put an entirely new and
decidedly more cheerful aspect on the
political complexion of affairs in the
state. Republican members Of the leg
islature, returning home after adjourn
ment to take up the work OF the cam
paign did SO with confidence, wrought
of the peaceful termination of fac
tional differences. that they could now
work for the success Of the whole
party ticket. unhindered by enrbarrass-
ing situations.
Reports of the press and people COM
ing into Des Moines from all parts Of
the state also indicate that prospects
Of an old time party majority for the
whole ticket are brighter than they
have been for years. All are now in
terested in the success of the whole
party ticket. There has never been q
question in the minds Of thoughtful
leaders but that Taft would carry the
state by handsome majority. Now
it is conceded that the way has been
paved for the election of a republican
legislature, with a safe majority equal
xa.t. a ~ NO
Of the state.
No attack has been made on the
work of the Legislature by the demo-
Gratis. Mr. White in his opening and
subsequent speeches has refused to
utter one word derogatory Of the rec
ord OF the general assemblies which
have made Iowa's laws and directed
the appropriations during the past few
years.
The only cause for the defeat Of any
candidates for the legislature has been
because. Of the sympathy of members
for one or another of the candidates
for the United States senate. This
cause has now been removed. A pri-
mary has been provided for, made as
drastic as to party alignment as was
possible, in which the republicans Of
the state can again express their pref
erence as to their own candidate for
senator Many members Of the legisla-
ture, who are candidates for re-elec-
ton took immediate advantage Of the
opportunity and declared that they
would be guided in voting for a SEN
ator by the expressed desires of the
voters at the primary. Every repub-
lican. therefore, is interested in the
election of every republican candidate
for the legislature who thus declares
himself
This gives an opportunity for the
fight in Iowa to get where it belongs,
on national issues. With the tariff one
of the most vital issues as Mr.. Bry-
an declares It shall be in, Iowa, there
can be little cause to doubt the result
of the November election. Iowa repub-
licans will welcome the discussion of
the tariff principles. There is no diff
ference of opinion among republicans
as to protective measures. On the other
hand there Is g. difference as wide as
political difference could be, between
the republican position which main
tains that American labor should be
