stood for the Square Deal as agains
the Boston & Maine Railroad rule.
In the neighboring State Of Iowa,
Governor Cummins, who stands for u
reform as against the reactonary
elements Of his party, was recently
defeated at a primary election by Sen
ator Allison, the leader Of the op-
posing faction, and now since Sena-
tor Alhson's death the wing Of the
party opposed to Governor Cummins
threatens to disrupt their State or.
ganization In the event Of his acces-
sion to the Senate. Instances Of
a like division Of sentiment and num-
bers exist among Republicans In ever
State Of the Union, and wherever the
element hiatt stood for civic right
eousnees has triumphed 1t has done
50 only BY an indecisive majority. So
therefore, before the Republican Part
can claim the confidenc Of the peo-
pie as a champion Of reform It shoul
convert It's leaders and a far larger
percentage Of Its membership to the
