Governor Carroll is reported to
have made a strong plea for politi-
cal harmony, at banquet recently
held in Des Moines; If the governor
is possessed of qualities which will
enable him to smooth the troubled
waters certainly the state of Iowa is
entitled to his services in producing
harmony with the state institutions;

the business of the state harmonious.

tical harmony speech making. Per
haEs harmony would come sooner
were the Governor to exercise more
effort and better judgment in the
conduct of state affairs.

speeches each day and every meet

lends irresistible charm and force tc
his campaign. Mr.. Porter is of ma.
tional size and it is only matter
of a short time until the fact will
be recognized.
