character, and of the full measure of
his zeal, as an honest man, to con-
tribute with all his might to the ad

These resolutions form a splendid
tribute to the unselfish public service
which Major Lacey has rendered
throughout his mature life, and they
should awaken responsive chord in
the heart of every Republican civil
war veteran in Iowa. The old soldiers

cANADA's WHEAT SUPPLY.

American farmers, who have pros
pered under the protective tariff of the
past twelve years enacted and main
tanned by the Republican party, should
take notice of the fact that recent
report issued by leading mercantile
agency shows that, while the total
available supply of wheat in this coun-
try about the close of September was
100000 bushels less than at the
same time last year, the Canadian
supply was G,5O0,0O0 bushels more
than a year ago.
This statement indicates the great
Importance of keeping the American
market for the American farmer and
of building up the home market. so
that any loss of foreign demand on
account of Canada's increasing supply
may be more than Offset by the Ameri-
can consumer
One of the great principles of the
Republican party, as every farmer
knows, is to build up the home market
and protect the American farmer and
wage Garner. The mercantile agency
item quoted above proves what Dem.
ocratic revision of the tariff would
mean for the American farmer in put
ting him at the mercy of Canada and
Argentina. Republican revision of the
tariff would safeguard the American
farmer, as it will safeguard the Amer.
lean wage Garner from Injurious for.
eign competition The election OF
Taft and Sherman and of a Republi
can congress will be followed by Re
publican revision of the tariff in the
interest of the American people and
not in the interest of Europe.

BUSINESS MEN FEAR BRYAN.

Chairman Hitchcock of the Republi.
can national committee, has received
a letter from a travelling salesman
which testtfies to the general fear
among business men of William len
nings Bryan. 1t is written by S. w.
Baldwin, who has been on the road
for thirty-five years, and is now agent
for the H. c. Goldman Co., shoe manu-
facturers of Columbus, Ohio. It
reads:

MORE LABOR MEN FOR TAFT.

Fear of free trade and idleness is
convincing thousands of workmen that
the Republican party, with its record
of accomplishments for the laboring
man, is rather to be trusted than the
Democratic party and William ].
Bryan with its promises. James
| Gernin, first vice president of the
Patternmakers League of North Amer
lea, in a statement has pointed out
the difference in wages for members
of their trade who live in free trade
and in protection countries. He said:
"Our union is absolutely opposed to
free trade. We talk from ex-
perience, and know what great harm
free trade has brought and may event
ually further bring to the mechanics
of this country. In our union are all
political Nominations represented, and
a can nevertheless most positively
state that our members will vote the
Republican national and state tickets.
They could not consistently vote any
other way. The wages for pattern
makers in Europe average about $40
per week. while the minimum wage
scale In this country is 81 per day of
eight hours work. l can safely say
that with very few exceptions work
ingmen with Democratic or other
tendencies will vote for Mr.. Taft. On
the other hand l failed to find any
mechanics with Republican tendencies
who intended to vote the Democratic
ticket"
John F. Dunechie, secretary of local
No % of the Iron Molders information
al Union, says the members of his
organization are solid for Taft. In
I statement he declares:
I'VE remember we'll that under the
+ Cleveland Democratic administration
our trade was very dull On the other
hand, our men had under Republican
administrations sufficient and steady
work all year round. This is one of
the principle reasons why our men are
bound to vote the Republican ticket.

VETERANS ENDORSE LACEY.

A meeting of civil war veterans was
held at Sioux City Wednesday even
ing at which an organization was
formed for the purpose of promoting
the candidacy of Hon. John F. Lacey
to the United States senate to succeed
the late William B. Allison. Commit
, tees were appointed to work for him
at the polls on election day, and the
following rousing resolutions pledging
support to the gallant soldier and
true-blue statesman were unanimous.
ly adopted:
Major John F. Lacey is a comrade
of whose record we are proud He
came to Iowa from what is now West
Virginia in 1855. He was poor boy
and worked his way. He learned the
trade of a bricklayer, and he has ap-
piled his trade in building well. He
went out at the beginning of the civil
war as member of Company H,
Third Iowa Infantry; he was made
prisoner at the battle of Blue Mills
released on parole, came home and
began the study of law in the Office
of Samuel A. Rice, of Oskaloosa, at
the time attorney general of the state.
He was exchanged in 1862 and re-
enlisted in Company D, Thirty third
Iowa Infantry, of which Mr. Rice was
appointed colonel.
He was soon promoted to lieuten-
antcy and later was appointed assist
ant adiutant general with the rank of
major on the staff of Gen. Steele. and

He is still a good soldier. After the
war he entered the practice of law.
He has served in public stations with
uniform acceptabilitv. For sixteen
years he represented the Sixth Iowa
district in congress, and as legisla-
tor of ability and constancy he won
the confidence of his associates and
especial favor from his people He Is
in the full vigor of active manhood,
OF tireless energy, Of studious habit,
of unblemished integrity, and with es-

ment to the veterans OF the civil war
to send this strong man Of their num-

TAFT DOES THINGS

Doing a thing and telling how to do
IT are two entirely different proposi-
uons. George AIDE points out this
truth in his readable story of the Old
Time Rally in the Saturday Evening
Post. Recently, Mr.. Taft went to Mr..
AIDES neighborhood where he talked
to crowd, estimated by the Demo.
Gratis at 5000, by the Republicans
25ooo." Mr. AIDE says:
He made friends at the rally. The
people In our section of the corn belt
read the papers and keep tab on the
march of events, consequently they
were somewhat prejudiced in his ia.
vor. They knew that he had gone out
into the hot sun, with his coat off
and made good at various Jobs that
were full of hard knots and angular
difficulties. They knew that the world
is roughly divided into two classes
those who saw wood and those who
sit on the fence and tell how to saw
wood. The Judge had sawed his wood
and corded it up and laid a few sticks
on top for good measure.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1908-11-02

He is known for his fearless and
disinterested opinions on all subjects,
and would not bend or break the
truth for friend or foe. Mr.. Smith
affirms the truthfulness Of the Demo
cratic congressman statements.
Captain ]. ]. Kellogg, the veteran
pension attorney of Washington,
Democrat of the old school, informs
me that there never was a congress-
man who gave better service to the
old soldiers and le authorizes me
to say to you, that in his judgment,
the soldiers never had a more faith
full and efficient public servant than
Charles A. Kennedy.
With the testimony of these dis
interested witnesses, we may we'll
say that if Mr.. Kennedy is reelected,
our district will be honestly and
truthfully represented Not only
that, but he has political qualifica-
ton which will enable him to bet
ter represent the whole nation,
because every congressman legislates
for the whole country. He stands
upon the platform of the Republican
party, and is in sympathy with the
Republican policies. Mr.. Taft can
always depend upon his support in
the house of representatives. In
the revision of the tariff he will
faithfully represent the farmers and
the wage-earners of Iowa; in all OF
his political acts he will be guided
by principles of the Republican
party, and in all matters he will
support the Taft administration, in
the caucus, in the committee,
and on the floor of the house.
Unfortunately for the Democratic
candidate, he cannot enter the Re-
publican caucuses and committees,
where the policies of the Republican
party are agreed upon. He will be
in the Democratic caucus. where the
solid south has the majority; and

Taft will have need of Kennedy
in all of the great problems now
pressing for solution. He was not
found wanting during his first term;
and added experience will make him
doubly valuable to the President. in

and arguments for Taft's election
apply with equal force to Kennedy's
candidacy. He stands for all those
policies which have distinguished
the Republican party for nearly half
century. If we approve the accom-
plishments of the party in the past,

present prosperity, and to be repre-

Bryan the Staats-Zeitung says in
part:
"It is far from our intention to be-
little Mr.. Bryans ability and good
qualities but we are firmly convinced
that our nation needs more conser-
vative man than he-a man of wide
experience and with an unwavering

Mr.. Taft. He has had more oppor-
tunities than any other American to
become familiar with the various
branches of government
The one ground that such man is

fcient to make him the preferable can
