Waterloo Reporter: The Reporter
has no gloating to take on over the
outcome of the primary. 1t is deeply
gratified over the success of Senator
Allison and Mr.. Carroll and Mr.. Pick
EFT. The county ticket is good one
and will be given the full party
strength in November. With congrat-
ulations to the victors annd sympathy
for the losers the Reporter bespeaks
la getting together in the ranks for a
rousing old-time republican victory.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: Governor
Cummins has been defeated for the
senatorship. But the things for which
Governor Cummins has stood have not
been defeated. Reforms have been
accomplished. Those reforms will
stand, and let those who would retrace
any steps taken bear that fact in
mind. As a result of those reforms,
other reforms will come to pass.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: With the
removal from the scene of action of
the principal perf3fiher in the pro-
gram of turmoil and disruption, it is
believed that the equilibrium Of the
republican party of Iowa will soon be
re.estabiished and, that the future. of
the party viii be more harmonious
than it has been for years, 3ln

/ ,Des Moines Tribune: The reform
moyemeBy viii ~ on, but it will be
managed by men OF Wisdom and con
seryatism and not by a crowd of
alarmists and demagogues. 1t will
assume practical shape, and be pushed
forward as rapidly as commercial safe
ty and decent respect for national
prosperity will admit The wild-eyed
advocates of tariff-ripping and the
thoughtless and reckless shouters for
property confiscation must retire to
the rear The ship of state will be
guided by experienced hands and
steered away from the shoals of dis
aster. All this may sound somewhat
figurative, but it's the solemn truth,
Just the same.
Keokuk Gate-City: Another lesson
to be learned from Tuesdays result
is that Iowa republicans are not to be
stampeded by holding j. w. Blythe up
as bogy-man to them.
Webster City Freeman Tribune:
The campaign IS over for the nominal
zion Of cheers. The .Freeman-Trib-
une is now in favor of harmony all
along the republican line. 1t is prop
er for party men to have differences
of opinion prior to the primary, but
after the majority have spoken the
contest should end.
Des MONIES Capital: The politicians
may read lesson from recent events.
During the. past ten years some of our
Iowa statesmen have been shifting
about on certain principles and they
have been little unstable as to their
personal friendships. Nearly all such
men have met defeat. But there is
old Col. William Peter Hepburn, who
has fought everybody and everything
that came in his way. He has never
had any opinions to conceal. He has
been against Cummins from start to
finish, and Colonel William Peter has
won out magnificently. In fact he
had less opposition this year than in
any year of his public life.

Boone News-Republican: The vic.
tory of Senator Allison may or may
not have an effect on the reforms
brought about in Iowa by the progress,
