| say this after having sojourned in
and studied several very good states,
and after having lived a long time
in some of the most highly favored
communities OF the east.
Iowa is as fair outwardly as 1t is
inwardly. 1t is about the only state
into which a man could come from
any other state and feel at home. Do
YOU love the mountains? These
green hills, undulating back from the
countless rivers, will make you think
of them, and yet will gladden. you
with a sense of something tenderer,
something more feminine, than the
shaggy giants YOU have known.
Are the plains and prairies dear
to you? Here are fair prairies, too,
but dimpled, wherever you gaze, with
billowing smile that wins your
heart. --t s
Clean little cities; steady, quiet
little cities, with happy faced chill
dren bubbling out of innumerable
school houses; endless little cities, all
SO much alike that they recall to me
Solomon's flock of newly shorn ewes
just come up from the washing
whereof every one hath twins.
And between the cities long miles
of fat farms, with white or brown
buildings, grouped amiably on the
tops of undulations; such is Iowa
happy, Incompatible Iowa, without q
Pittsburg or Jersey City within its
limits, with not one fostering shm in
all its length and breadth, content
amid it's bursting corn cribs, agricul
tural and pure and sound.

MR.. PoRTER,s POSITION.

|. Hon. Claud Porter must find him
self in an uncomfortable position, in
his candidacy for governor of Iowa
Mr.. Porter is an avowed prohibition
list, while the platform on which he
is making his race contains a deClar
alton for licensed saloons under 10
cal option. In the state convention
at Ottumwa General Weaver forced
roll call on the local option plat
form and the delegation form Mr.
Porter's own county, Appanoose, vot
ed in favor of the resolution.
General Weaver also espouses the
cause of prohibition. ana in a recent
interview he said of the liquor plank
in the democratic platform:
Il despise it. ! regard it as
very dangerous element in the
platform 1t is a regular old
fogy liquor plank such as we
were familiar with in our boy
hood days and is seventy-five
years behind the sentiment of the
people. The danger is that it
VIII make the dlnerence between
victory and defeat in the coming
election. We had Carroll in
hole and am not certain he Is
out of it yet But the action at
se ottumwa must have made him
happy" s
Mr. Porter no doubt feels much
the same way toward his platform
but it would not be polite for him
TO be as outspoken as is General
Weaver. His position. howeyer,m
be fraught with considerable uneasi,
ness.

SIXTH DISTRICT POLITICS.

Alex Miller of the Washington
Democrat, speaking of the democrat
ic sixth district caucus at Ottumwa:
Il went to the opera house and arriV-
ed there in time to get in on the
sixth district caucus, and it is funny
to note the difference between it and
our district. In our district, they
will not stand for speech making at
all, but the sixth has been SO impreg-
mated with pOpulism that they are all
spell binders and they were hard at
it when | got there. Every son of a
gun is a speech maker and everybody
wants to crate. 1t was funny. Why,
in our district, they would hardly
wait while | thanked the delegates
for their courtesy to me as chairman
for six years and in the sixth they
were knee deep in oratory like James
Whitcomb Riley in Glover in June
and they enjoyed oratory more than
Riley did clover. AS he says in his
poem: o, this is a funny world

Herald says: There is no insurgency
or standpatism when it comes to the
Mahaska county republican ticket
Every man on it will poll the full
party strength" That is the way
for the republicans of Jasper county
to talk. There is no reason why we
should slaughter any man on our
county ticket just because our lead
ers claim that they cannot agree on
the tariff. Let fem fight it out in
congress and resolve in the state
convention if they want to, we can go
right ahead and elect our county tick
ct just as though nothing had hap
pened.
New Sharon star: We hope and ex-
pect to see the republican ticket elect
ed in November. We are for harmo-
ny so far as it applies to the candi-
dates on the ticket. We expect to
boost for Carroll and his reelection
TO the state executives office, and in
the same degree of earnestnesS we
expect to work for the return of Ken
dali to congress from this district. If
all who are insisting upon harmony
will be consistent enough to offer
this same whole-hearted support of
the ticket, there is no doubt of its
success.

down, but he stood by his colors in
