retary Taft got the temper of the peo-
pie In his addresses thru this state.
The fact that he has delivered these
same addresses in the east is evidence
that he himself is in line with the
progressive policies of the day and
politicians are unreserved in saying
that he will do much in Iowa and the
west for the entire ticket. national and
state.
Auditor Carrols remarks at Wash
ineton, Ia, are also the cause OF
much favorable comment. While his
friends have always known that Aud
itor Carroll is In sympathy with all
progressive movements the fact that he
has not been active In factional poll
tics has served, in a measure, to at
tract attention away from his views on
these matters. His record in the aud
itor's office and his unqualified state
ment at Washington ds evidence to
republicans of Iowa that the COVER
nol's office under his admintstra ton
will be managed on the same high
principles as at present.
AIT Washington Mr.. Carroll said:

enyrossed with the management OF In

Governor Haskell. of Oklahoma, will
not speak In the Iowa campaign for
the democrats.
State Chairman Clint l.. Price yes
terday received "a telegram from John
Fl. Atwood. in charge of the speakers

Whether pressure was brought to
bear Ut this end to induce the cancel
lation of the Haskell dates in Iowa is
not known and has not been disclosed
by the democratic management.
However, Mr.. Atwood was in Des
Moinas for the democratic state con-
yention of Thursday and spoke here,
that Mr.. Haskell would re-
sign as treasurer, of the national COM
mittee, thing which he did Friday. 1t |
is supposed that Iowa democrats indi- |
Gated to him that 1t might be good pol
tics for him to withdraw Governor

exposures with respect to his career
in connection with the Standard Oil
company, the steel strust, railroad re-
etc.
Who will come out to take the place

make the Haskell dates in Iowa.
