The carroII.cownle Case.

Bloomfield Republican: Mr.. Carroll
is governor of the state, especially
charged with responsibility for lot
OF things in the affairs OF the state
and permitted to exercise his dis
ere ia in respect TO the same Also
it is very distinctly in accordance
with public policy that there be a
large amount of publicity in the con-
duct of state affairs. and Ia fact with
out such publicity the ways of cor
ruption will be very much more open
than they could be otherwise. We do
not know whether Governor Carroll
has handled the Crownie case with the
best possible judgment all the way
through and we dc not particularly
care; but we know that he has been
entirely within the proprieties of his
position, first. In getting rid Of Cow
ME when he thought that Cownie
ought to be gotten rid OF and, second,
in making public his reasons therefor
after Cownie had set the example OF
making the matter the subject OF
newspaper controversy. Whether he
could convince the public of the
souhdness Of his reasoning and still
less whether he could convince Cow
ME OF the same. has very little to do
in the case. By vote OF the people the
responsibility was his, and in the ex-
ercise Of that responsibility he was
temperate.
Summing UP TIE whole situation 1t
would seem that Governor Carroll
was the victim of political conspir-

a New Democratic Keynote.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Jerry B.
Sullivan, who delivered the address
as temporary chairman of the Demo
cratic convention in Ottumwa, dared
to make some sighting references to
Theodore Roosevelt He referred to
him as a reformer on paper. With
contempt he followed him around the
to govern Egypt, the pope how to run
his domestic affairs, and women ev-
erywhere how many children to rear
This is new keynote 1t was not
SO long ago wnen the name of Roose-
welt aroused as much enthusiasm In
a Democratic convention as in Re-
publican convention. Now, it is diff
ferent. Now, every politician dares to
refer to the former President with
something like contempt
There is much to be said in favor
of the course pursued by Jerry Sulli-
van. The Democratic party Is at
1 last coming into its own again. For
years it has been apeing certain Re
publicans and talking for certain Re
publicans, all in the hope of Great
i ing differences among Republicans
instead of working to create har
mony and utility among their OWL
followers. For years the Democratic
party has been a camp follower, seek
4 ing crumbs to be picked up from
differences existing among Republi
cans. But now the old party seems t,
have struck firmer gait. The lead
ers want to be aggressive along thei
own lines. They do not propose t
, permit, certain Republicans to d.
business in the name of Demcrati
beliefs.
We shall all hail the rejuvenatio
! of the Democratic party with pleasure
] One of the things that has been mos
i lacking in this country is strong m
e nority party. No government wi

to meet a more or less strong oppos

Ohio Republicans LOYAL.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The result

had been proclaimed throughout the
country as holding the key to the
Ohio situation, who many supposed
would be nominated for governor

that nomination, Congressman Long
