Cedar Rapids, Oct. 31.-With the
footing Of horns on seven automobiles
and the "bonvoyage" Of hundreds OF
people gathered in front OF the Mon
trose hotel. Governor Carroll got away
at $3.50 o'clock this morning on the
first day Of his last campaign trip OF
the present campaign. The first day
was one Of the hardest Of the entire
campaign as 1t called for a tour Of
Linn county by automobile.
Leading the way was the automobile
containing Governor Carroll and Con-
gresham James w. Good. Then fol-
lowed the six automobiles containing
the Linn county republican candidates
and representatives of the press.
The first stop of the party was at
Fairfax. the beautiful little city to the
west of Cedar Rapids Despite the
earliness of the morning the people
turned out and gave Governor Carroll
a royal welcome He talked to them
for half an hour along the two lines
which he has used in the present cam
paign, namely. national and state is
sues. In both instances he has not
given what would be called political
speech, but rather has he taken the
people to his heart and had nice
little heart to heart talk with them on
the issues Of the day. On national
issues he is telling them that each OF
the dominant parties has had absolute
control Of governmental affairs and
each must therefore stand or fall by
the record which each has made
in the half century Of its ex-
istence. He then takes up the
record of achievement of the republi-
can party and shows the general pros
perity following this with a review OF
the stand stagnation which has always
followed democratic rule and thus ne
has drawn the comparison and asked
the voters to decide where they stand
as between the two.
On state issues he has come out
squarely for continuance OF the
economical and businesslike methods
which have characterized his admins
tration for the past two years. has de-
7, anded better roads without increasing
the road taxation, declared for a state
epileptic colony, better conditions for
labor, a temporary tax commission to
re-arrange the entire revenue raising
system Of the state, for better educa-
tional facilities and for honesty in state
service.
The towns visited today include
Fairfax, Western, Mt. Vernon. Ber-
tram, Lisbon and on to Marion tonight
where monster republican rally is 20
be held. Tomorrow the governor goes
into Butler county making an automo-
bile trip over the county and winding
up with monster rally at WaveTly
that evening On Wednesday IL, Will
be In Sioux City.
Linn county will line up s.rcng for
Governor Carroll and Congressman
Good despite the action. of several
labor leaders who sought to deliver the
union labor vote of the state into the
hands of the democratic party to be
used by that party to secure more lib
eral liquor laws. Linn county union
labor men and especially those here in
Cedar Rapids declare that the action Of
the men who endorsed" Porter and
condemned Good is illogical and that IL
was fer a selfish interest only.
