ALWAYS WAS BOOSTED.

Look up the record of W. H. Taft and
you will find that he always was favored
by the machine, always feeding at the
political crib by the grace of the ap-
pointive power. Never elected to Office
yet always holding one. Look over this
record and see if you can imagine Mr..
Taft would favor smashing the political
machine by making all officers elective.

JAMESON ON THE CUMMINS
BOLT.

Cummins was defeated. 1t looked bru-
tai to me, and l felt that the man and
the republican party had been outraged
by it. He is republican. He claims
that he is and he has been elected gov
ernor of Iowa more times than any other
republican ever was, and he is running
on the republican ticket. For a great
many years he has wanted to be United
States senator. Nearly twenty years
ago he was candidate against John H.
Gear and in one of the most disgra ceful
fights that has ever shamed Iowa legis-
tature but one in which Gov. Cummins
came out with clean hands, he was de-
feated for the place, defeated through
bribery and dirty trickery; but he &C
cepted his deIeat in good spirit and
took of his coat and worked right along
for the success of the republican party.
Then this last spring, when he was a
candidate against Allison before the
primary, he was defeated, and he took
his defeat gracefully and without a
whimper. Then Allison died and this
made vacancy. The legislature was
called together and in the regular eau
Gus way, the same way that every can
didate the republicans have elected in
he was nominated to this high position
by majority of the members of his own
party. But the bitter hatred Of bis po-
litical enemies, enemies whose first am
bition was to defeat Cummins, conspired
against him, finally succeeded in keep
ing him out of the place by a narrow
margin Of II votes. He only needed rs
votes to be elected, and he secured 66
of them. AS | sat in the joint session
and heard the list Of 1874 names called, and
| felt the cold hatred of the various men
who voted against him, | thought this
game of politics at times was cold,
brutal proposition. Now we have adj
journed with deadlock, the first time
in the history of the state. The stand
patters will have to answer for it. I'm
consciously they have aided Cummins
for they have overlooked the fact that
they have delt unfairly with Cummins:
and the average man in the state who
was not particularly partial to Cummins
will feel more inclined to be for him, on
account of the brutal unfairness of his
partisan enemies. And if we are tC
have republican United States senator
| now hope that it will be Governor Cum
Minis; his record especially in the past
two years, has made him entitled to the
support of every member of his party
who believes in the reforms he has stooC
for and helped to bring into practica
use. At the primary | hope he will
everlastingly wallop it to his opponent
Jameson in the Shenandoah World.

RULE OF THE PEOPLE and REFORM.
By HENRY WATTERSON.

and the setting aside Of the verdict of
the ballot box by congressional usurp-
alton, to the hour when it adopted plat
form of imposture, placing upon it the
pretended counterfeit representment of
Roosevelt, but coupling him with
yoke-mate of the very jaws of Wall
street.
Flying the flag of Roosevelt, the Re-
publican leaders have made their peace
with the system. From Rockefeller to
Carnegie, from Hartman to Morgan,
every chieftain of wealth and predatory
wealth, the honest too often making
common cause with the dishonest, is
we'll content with Taft and Sherman.
They foretoken and imply the old order
of special privilege Of the few, imposi-
tions Of every sort to the many; high fl
nance rampant; high tariff, revised by
it's friends" rampant; the end of Roose-
veltism and agitation "for the good of
business" only organized cap
ital and licensed monopoly; the same
old story, the same old song, the same
crowd slicked over with goose grease
from the Roosevelt iarder, but meaning
four years moro of the rascaldom which
Roosevelt has unmasked but not downed;
which Roosevelt has exposed but left
intact, which, in spite of Roosevelt ard
all his works, stands today as impudent
and defiant as ever it stood, a grey wolf
lording it over the Senate, grey wolf
lording it ever the House, and grey
wolf giving tone and effect to the ticket.
We have noble system of Govern
ment. would preserve it. The way to
preserve it is to keep it in the currents
of political thought and action, not to
allow it to rust in the grasp Of the one
party power. Down with the two aced
standards of the spectacular, showing
Roosevelt to the West and South, and
Sunny Jim Sherman to the East, Taft
the merest middle man between. Up
with the milk-white flag of reform, the
peoples flag, which is as unsulied as it
was when it waved over Tilden and
Cleveland and united Democracy.
In short and in fine the way to reform
is to turn the rascals out. The way to
reform is to punish the rascals. Parties
in power never reform themselves.
When abuses grow unbearable, the only
high road to reform leads to change
of parties. Good Government is the
peoples rule, not the rule Of the steam
roller.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-09-24

Our dual system of parties the lack
of middle or a third party-robs our
public life of a needful balance wheel.
This is nowise supplied by such side
shows as the Prohibitionists and the
Socialists. They are too narrow and
radical to exert wholesome influence.
They chiefly middle the campaigns and
annoy the managers. Beginning with
the Government popular opinion ranged
itself about certain groups OF leaders, OF
whom Jefferson and Hamilton stood fore
most. Today our political divisions
bark back to them.
To the casual eye Roosevelt may seem
as popularized Federalist, and Bryan a
federalized Populist; but take from the
two their academic utterance, and the
one remains the embodiment of centra-
liZed power, the other the prototype of
progressive Democracy.
Under the rule and spell Of Roosevelt
the pendulum has swung too far toward
absolutism. 1t needs TO be swung back
again unless our Government is to be-
made the victum of an unconscious but
dangerous revolution. Its representa-
tive character is being lost by the
changed rules of Congress, which be-
comes more and more the creature of
the organized interests. The Senate is
largely divided between corporation law
yers and money magnates, either actual
or proxy. The House long ago ceased
to be legislative body.
Shall the administration successfully
employ upon the country at large the
ruthless agencies which were success
fully employed upon the Republican
party?
All economic issues pale before such
an exigency. Mr.. Bryan's reviled per-
sonality is but an atom. The most hide
bound conservative cannot fear him with
Republican Senate already fixed to out
last the next presidential term. Mr..
Taft's personality, however attractive,
is but an atom, when we reflect that his
programme and support is in point of
fact but the velvet hand Of the old con-
tldence game of high tariff and high fl
nance, played upon the American people
and American Industries by the party
of the Standard Oil and Steel and Iron,
of the Sugar Trust and Tobacco Trust,
of fraud and force, from the hour when
it sought to Mexicanize the Govern
ment by the impeachment Of Presi-
dent who had committed no legal wrong,

HEpBURN'S RATE BILL is UNCON.
STITUTIONAL.

H. G. Beard, editor of the Mt. AYR
Press, who is also lawyer in actual
practice as we'll as an editor has the
following to say regarding the decision
OF the U. S. States Court that Hepburn's
famous rate bill is unconstitutional:
The United States Circuit court has
decided that the commodities clause of
Colonel Hepburn's world famous bill is
unconstitutional.
When rate regulation got out of the
control of Cannon and Hepburn an,
the other supporters of their railways
In the house of representatives the said
railroad men restored to their old trick
Of getting in position to betray the
master and put Hepburn in charge of
the legislation. He put joker in the
bill that postponed the regulation of the
railways while they were getting this
held unconstitutional and the people
were getting another one enacted. That
is what they always do and that is what
they did this time. And Hepburn got re-
elected on the record he made by hav-
ing the bill passed. But his railroad
friends and the Circuit court are very
unkind to pull off the mask just before
election.
But now Stranahan and the others can
claim that Hepburn must be returned to
again enact railroad regulation. Surely
the people will not let him go back there
to put another joker in the next attempt
to regulate the railroads. But we sup
pose the railroad has as much right to
be regulated by it's friend as the trusts
have to be regulated by their friends.
The railroads have gone after the Hep
burn bill systematically. They have at
tackled it in only one place and are let
ting the other provisions come up one
at time so the final regulation may be
postponed as long as possible.
Hepburn was a reluctant supporter Of
the railway regulation. But when he
finally got in he pushed up close to the
front and crowded in ahead where he
could be in position to see what went
into the bill and when he got the whole
thing turned over to him he fixed it
properly. Many men do not know that
the best place to kill any thing is in the
house of it's friends. When it comes to
assassination the assassin must be close
to his victim and must be supposed
friend, and that is what Hepburn got to
be to the rate bill. Many people do not
know this way to defeat things but a
few experienced hands like Hepburn
and Cannon do know and the results OF
this knowledge are to be observed on
every hand. And the demonstrations
atty of the rate bill is one of them
Did you ever hear of district ATTORNEY
drawing an Indictment that proved de.
: fective at the proper time. 1t is evident
that Hepburn's experience as district
attorney many years ago is still of advan
tage to him. The Indictment he drew
of the railroads was defective when the
proper time came. Well you have the
| decision be the proper thing at the pro.
/ per time to warn you against his being
Q in position, to draw another defective
indictment.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-09-24
WE WONDER.

We wonder if Col. Hepburn is looking
for harmony in the republican party?
We wonder if he is going to ask the re-
publicans of this district to vote for the
regularly nominated republican candi-
date for congress? He was in Des
Moines and we wonder if he asked the
senators and representatives from his
district to vote for the regularly nom
mated candidate for the U. s. senate
and thus procure harmony? We won
der, if he did, why it was that only two
in the entire Sth district participated
in the caucus Senator Turner Of Adams
and Representative Darrah of Lucas)
and why these two, with the addition OF
Representative Van Houten Of this
county, were the only ones who did not
bolt? The query is, has Hepburn no
more influence in his district, or did he
advise the bolt? What do you think
about it voters? Bedford Free Press
