democratic, socialist, prohibition, or
other candidate for state, county or
township office whose name appears on
the official ballot, then they surrender
their right to vote for United States
senator. This is a crime against free
choice. 1T is prostituting the election
ballot to a partisan, private, selfish
end. Such use of it offends every con-
ception Of the freedom Of the ballot
If the republican majority in the leg
islature shall persist in this attempt 70
prostitute the ballot-and, 1T doubtless
will persevere-then the duty OF one
democratic members of the legislature
| is to resist the plan to the bitter end.
Furthermore, the situation supplies
warrant for a writ OF 1nJunctlon
against the outrage upon 1ndepeno-
ence, and the invasion Of the freedom
of the ballot because it puts the voter
under duress, penalizing independent
choice.
| The differences between the repub-
lican factions in Iowa do not warrant
| the extraordinary, unprecedented steps
! taken by the factions thru their control
of the law-making department OF the
state. Iowa would have a United States
senator to succeer Allison without tne
proposed amendment, therefore the ln-
| terests of the state do not call Ior
amendment to existing lazy. The sena-
| tor might be republican, a democrat
a. prohibitionist, a socialist. But the
| fact that he would be senator would
be evidence that the delegated repre-
sentatives of the people had chosen
him. The concern of the state is not
that the senator shall be republican,
nor. vet a democrat That he shall be
a republican is the concern OF only
! the republican party, and that ne saal !
! he a. democrat is the concern only OF
the democratic party. But the repupllc-
an party, abusing its power, Disregard
ing the cost to the people, and IN con-
tempt of the sacredness OF the ballot'

| an for senator the concern of the Whole
people
/ Is there anywhere a man so foollsh
as to believe that If the democratic
party were in the same plight as the
republican party that the republican
controlled legislature would be con-
yened to restore democratic harmony
1 and tie the hands of voters desiring to
vote for republican candidates for Of
flee? We believe that there is not
single person of such mind. Proof could
/ not be stronger that the repupllcar
party is seeking to do for itself what II
would not do for others, and legislatlns
purely in its own interest. and in con-
/ temnt of every ethical and statutory
conception of the sanctity of the bal

when few gelatine-spined individ-
uals were unable t., give any evidence
concerning an affair to which they had
been eye witnesses. They have kept
the judicial probe ut work until some
thing like twenty indictments have
been returned and still the investiga-
ton goes on.
The most gratifying feature of the
present situation is the unanimity with
which newspapers both north and
south are declaring that mobocracy
must be crushed--no matter at what
cost, and that more vigorous efforts
be put forth looking to the education
and uplifting of the illiterate and the
vicious of all classes of society.
The Springfield affair itself is Wv
idly depicted by the Cleveland Leader
as follows:
Lied by lewd woman of the town,
made up largely OF drunken loafers,
playing the game of thieves as they
went, bestial. unreasoning. stupidity,
wantonly cruel-'xhat a picture Of mob
spirit and mob conduct that SPRING
field outpouring of savages makes for
the warning and enlightenment of the
world! 1t could not have been lower;
more brutal. more greedy. in a swinish
fashion, more utterly devoid of the tri-
umphs of civilization. There is hope
in such lynch law outbreak, because
1t is SO unspeakably foul and disgust
ing to all decent men,"
And as a solution we present the fol-
lowing from southern paper--the Au-
gusta Chronicle:
"As for the s,olution--it must be to
lift the ignorant and the vicious, OF
whatever race, to a higher plane. And

The people of Iowa, with a treasury

publican party to bear the expense OF
an extra session of the legislature con-

Republican harmony will lay tax
upon every man, woman and child in
Iowa. The right of the people to relief
from unnecessary taxation, and to the

The campaign that is being waged
by the liquor interests in vain en-
deavor to check the growing sentiment
against their nefarious traffic is one
that will not appeal to intelligent
men. personal liberty which gives
one the privilege OF debauching their
own lives as we'll as lowering the NOR
al standard of state and nation be-
comes outlawry of the most extreme
type.
If the advocates of this particular
brand of personal liberty" stood alone
in bearing the burdens placed upon
society by the drunkard, then perhaps
an indulgent public might yield the
point: but they are not. The innocent
babe. the faithful wife and mother are
made epaupers and in many cases pc
come public charges; the home. one OF
the sacred institutions, is broken up
simply because the father and nus
band is slave to personal liberty.
Go to the poor houses, the Jails and
penitentiaries, or to our own inebriate
asylum at Knoxville, there you Will
find that a large per cent or all OF the
inmates are slaves to an acquired
appetite for strong drink, "Pefs onal
liberty" in this case means nothing
less than the most abject slavery.
Ask the one who is writing In the
terrors Of delirum tremens If he is
enjoying his personal liberty Go

and fortune and ask him If he is salts

to his personal liberty" rights IN

munity and they Will tell you that u
IT were not for the crimes resulting
from strong drink their labors would
be reduced to the minimum. Stats
tics will show you that for every dollar
spent for liquor taxpayers must speno
nearly two dollars in controlling the
business, in caring for the victims ane
in prosecuting the liquor made crimi-
nails. Then who is to benefit by this
campaign for personal liberty" ex-

The Freeman Tribune cannot say
IT is satisfied with every feature OF
the conference, but 1t is pleased to
know that something was accom-
plished. There are some things still
open ito debate. The legislature must
determine what method shall be pur-
sued to establish the political status Of
the voter The Freeman Tribune feels
that an elector who supports the ma
tional, congressional and legislative
tickets fully establishes his political
affiliation and should be entitled to
vote for senator. These embrace the
test of national republicanfsm and
should be sufficient But the sub
stance Of Senator Delivers PROPOSE

SCARCELY A CONFERENCE.
Cedar Ikapids Republican,
Perhaps the meeting of republi-
cans held a1 Des Moines Tuesday
might techn5 cully be called a confer

professions made at the time 1t was
called however. 1t was o. farce.
The chief{ matter effecting panty S
welfare was decided before the con-
ference waf called together and the
decision walls announced by the chair

single expression of opinion was called
for or COULD be offered. AS mat

announced 1t on calling the so-called
conference together, stating that the
decision WIS irrevocable-and there
the conference was. 1t was pos
sible for tt aDse present to express their
opinion Of the program--but that was
all.
This paper has not changed Its
opinion touching this whole matter.

have been followed. II the governor
