Making Faces at Carroll

Sioux City Journal: Iowa insurgents
admit that the legislature is not to be
blamed. The legislature did its duty
with reference to the senatorship. but
it is suggested that the legislature has
done little else which may be pointed
to with pride. The explanation is that

quate leadership. There has been no

The point with the insurgents is that
Governor Carroll is remote from their
ideal of leadership. They are very
much in earnest over the rule OF the
! people, but they cannot rid themselves
OF conviction that the governor should
have strings on the legislature and
treat the respective bodies as pair of

the sentiment of the state. In many
ways the year 1910 promises to be
many-sided in its activities. Just now
the prohibitionists are saying that the
