Replying to the Harlan Register the
Mt Vernon Record says: ut is in
teresting to note that brave old Col
onel Dave Henderson was bounded to
death by the standpatters, not progress
sives. The Waterloo Reporter was the
leader of the fight against Colonel Hen
derson 1t is also interesting to note
that the other side as the Register
calls the standpatters started the good
work by boiling Cummins seven years
ago They repeated the operations two
years ago. If they get pinched at their
own game 1t is hardly right to squeal.

The Parkershurg Eclipse points out
that During the last session of con-
gress Cannon made himself personally
obnoxious to a large number of the
representatives, to say nothing of the
public. He opposed many measures
proposed by President Roosevelt ana
refused to allow congress to conside.
them. owing to the arbitrary rules OF
the house of representatives. which
gives unlimited power in controlling
legislation
"Mr. Bleakley will make a great rec
ord as auditor of state, and. if hon
esty is appreciated in the conduct of
public office. he will be there for many
a day." predicts the Ida Grove Pho
neer.
The Odebolt Chronicle hopes that
"ali members of the house who rep
resent western constituencies will
stand firm against Speaker Cannon
reelection. A strong progressive can
didate should be named against him
and if this is done he will be beaten"
"A man that talks one thing one day
and something else the next is an UNI
stable quantity" says the Grumpy Re-
publican.
"Joe Cannon has been re-elected to
congress and will no doubt be can
didate for speaker again in the house.
He ought to be defeated" declares the
Brooklyn Chronicle. His political
principles are not those of Taft and
Roosevelt. He was weakness TO
every republican candidate for cong
ress in every state in the union. The
republican party has elected pres
ident and does not need a dictator"
"1n reality 'Progressives VS.. Stand
patters' is dead issue in Iowa." as

declaration in the national republican
platform for revision of the tariff as
it stands in the statutes is to be con-

history of the nation, as we'll as the
state. The people have twice voted
whom they wished to be chosen as a
United States senator. While he lived
they wished the lamented Allison to be
his own successor. They have now
said that the man who was then de-
feated shall be Allison's successor. Let
us have peace!"
The .Glidden Graphic says "The reas-
ons for Hepburn's defeat lie in Hep
burn, primarily, and in no one else.

it lost ten votes for Hepburn 1t gained
for him a hundred or would have done
so had he been alive to the demands
of present day voters"
