Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 2.-The harmony
which was offered to the standpatters
at Waterloo by the progressives Is not
SO certain of being delivered unless
there is a disposition on the part OF
the anti Cummins crowd to meet the
progressives part way and make IT
unanimous on the legislative candidates
as well. The proposal to put Julian
Richards in charge Of the campaign
literary bureau has kicked the pail
over again since Richards, after be-
ing defeated for nomination two
years ago, accepted employment with
the democratic committee and worked
to bring about the bolt Of standpat
republicans, which was designed to
defeat Governor Cummins. 1t is un-
derstood that protest in behalf of
progressives has been registered With
Chairman FRANKIE and 1t Is freely ar
gued among leaders that some evidence
must be forthcoming from standpat
newspapers that the full party vote
will be given to republican candidates
for the legislature If there is to be
complete harmony on the state ticket.
In other words the progressives
have waited for some evidence on the
part of the standpatters that they
propose hereafter to be good republi-
cans. The standpatters captured the
nomination Of the governor and state
auditor The progressives were willing
to let 1t end there, but instead the
standpatters went to Chicago and dis
closed that they do not propose to be
good republicans, but are merely con-
Quoting a campaign of determination
against Cummins and against every
republican who believes in the primary
election law, the anti-pass measure,
and such other progressive and Roose-
veltian propositions. Since the Chi
cago convention there has not been
line in any standpat paper that would
indicate any intention on their part OF
taking the whole ticket, except in the
Des Moines Daily Capital, that has had
some halfway conciliatory editorials
that pretend to say something. but
don't. But the hypocrisy of the Capital
is too we'll known to be given any
consideration.
Furthermore it is known and we'll
known that the plans of the standpat
faction contemplate boiling the legis-
lative nominees wherever they are
pronounced progressives in order to
give the standpatters majority IN
the republican caucus of the next leg
islature. This is all taken by the pro-
gressives to mean that the standpat-
ters are anticipating a vacancy IN the
United States senate from Iowa and
that they propose by every means
possible to scuttle the legislature.
Progressives believe that this sort OF
thing on the part Of the standpatters
has gone far enough and that this is as
good year to stop 1t as any. The
progressives are willing to take the re-
publican ticket straight. The leading
progressive republicans with Governor
A. B. Cummins at the head are will
ing to take the stump and campaign
the state of Iowa for every republican
nominee from the top Of the ticket to
the bottom.
But it can be said right here and on
the best of authority that they Will not
do il unless there Is substantial and
satisfactory showing on the part OF the
standpatters that they will do ike
wise with the legislative nominees.
Thus far this year there has been no
such a move on the part of the stand
matters. On the other hand there Is
everything to indicate that they intend
+o holt the progressive nominees to the
legislature.
TUESDAYS Burlington Hawktye says
under a Des Moines date line SEEM
ingly with authority, that Julian Rlch-
ards will be named to take charge OF
the literary bureau for the campaign
and that George Gallarno will be his
assistant. Richards was the standpat
candidate for secretary of state two
Years ago and failing to get the NOM
inat;on he bolted the ticket and ac-
cepted employment with the democrat
ic state central committee which was
then in the hands of the Ed Hunter
wing of the democratic party. There
| is the testimony Of Alex Miller, demo-
| cratic committeeman from the FIRST
district. that Richards was paid a SAL
arv hv the committee. George Gallarno
worked for Perkins and for ohe FER
kins committee during the party cam
paign touring the state in his behalf
and for pay When Perkins was de-
feated Gallarno accepted employment
with the democratic state centrai
committee and was sent over the state
| in company with Claude Porter, the
democratic nominee for governor, to
| ra,nrf porter's speeches. These are the
men the standpatters propose to put IN
charge of the literary work of the
| campaign and claim to have a pledge
from Carl FRANKIE to the effect bhat
they will be appointed
| The progressives will not stand for
1t.
