tent upon arouSlng the prejudices and
fears Of the voters in order to compel
them to become standpatters and vote
for Carroll. Hull, Smith, Palmer, Grubb,
ct. al. A local printing office is now
engaged in filling an order for $50, 900
sheets of circular bearing a picture OF
a badly dilapidated elephant with large
print of the hysterical appeal to voters
not to countenance the progressives
which was composed by Frank Jackson
and in which he predicts how business
will reef its sails" and hunt cyclone
caves" in case OF the victory of the pro-
gressives in Iowa. 1t is said this ap-
peal is plagiariZed from an Old cam
paign speech. The plan is to send out
these circulars to individual voters the
latter part of this week. That this
shows how we'll supplied with money
the Jackson committee is may be
known from the fact that this one stunt
will cost more than the entire cam
paign conducted by the progressives.
The Jackson committee claims to have
the organization lists used in the two
. campaigns against Cummins two years
ago. Governor CAROLS secretary was
one of the money distributors in those
two campaigns, and it is said the entire
organization has been turned over TO
the use of those who are boosting for
Carroll and the others.
The manner in which the employees of
the state, the state offices and state
stationary and postage are being used
for campaign purposes is little short of
scandolous. A cinmittee room on
thu gallery floor of the state
house has been used for many weeks as
the distributing point Of campaign lit
erature Last week another distribut-
ing point was located in the boiler room
at the heating plant with the engineers
and firenenSal at work Only one re-

= t. IT cornmissi oner. In this office the
orce has done little else for many
weeks but engage in preparation of po-
litical matter. Il was in this office that
WAS printed the circular letter TO coal
miners advising them how to vote on
state superintendent. the same being
printed on the official stationery, a
copy Of which is in possession of the
writer Last Saturday the entire office
force was at work practically all day
printing. folding and mailing out liter
ature containing the grossest false
hoods regarding Warren Garst. The Ia
Dor commissioner is one of the APP
pointees closest to the governor and is
under his direct charge. Not only was
his office force al work but others of
the governors appointees were there
helping. The custodian of the building,
about the time the assessment was lev
led on the jaritors, posted an order
turning over the entire force of jani
tors to Mr.. Cox. the head janitor. and
the latter has been extremely active in
doing political work in the state house
and elsewhere. But the establishment
of literary headquarters in the boiler
room of the state heating plant is re-
garded as the limit Of audacity on the
! part Of the administration.
There is regret among the progress
ives that Senator Dolliver will not De
able to get back into the campaign. 1t
is recalled that when he came the other
time it was by defying the advice of a
physician. He is in really poor health
and the news from Washington is that
he will not be able TO return to enter
| into the cam paign Of defense. Sena
tor Cummins can give only three days
| to the campaign. 1t has been decided
that he should be used in southern
Iowa, in the districts where there are
Ehot congressional contests and where
the fight for Cannonism is fercest. He
will probably be sent into the Eighth
and Ninth districts. The nom nation
|of Judge Prouty is now accepted prac-
ideally by everyone as foregone con-
clusion, for no campaign has ever been
conducted on a higher and cleaner
plane than the one in his behalf But
1t is recognized that in the Eighth and
Ninth the lines are not so well form
ed. 1t all depends upon the getting out
bf the vote. and it is certain that a few
speeches by the junior senator will do
more for getting out a big vote than
any other things.
There was much hope that both SEN
htors might get away from their work
congress and go into northern iowa
where their friends are too numerous to
punt, and to make a few speeches at
e rallies for the sole purpose of
rousing the voters to a sense of their
lty; but they will have to rely upon
e loyalty and zeal Of local workers
ptirely. Governor Garst has been in
re northern part OF the state the past
eek, in the Tenth and Eleventh dis
lets, visiting cities and towns and
Getting the republicans in heart to
art talks and informal gatherings Of
