JUDGE SMITHS MARINE SPEECH.

Judge Smiths Marine speech avoided
any reference to the recent fractional
troubles in the republican party. The
Judge merely remarked that as repub-
licans we should all get together and
wipe out the common enemy. He said
that the heavy eaters down east want
Iowa farmers to accept lower prices for
the products we raise. He gave it as his
opinion that the Iowa farmer doesn't
care to go back to the old democratic
days. He says that the reason some
eastern districts have gone democratic
is largely because they want free trade
with Canada down east so that they can
get cheaper corn and other food-stuffs
instead of having to pay the high prices
that they now have to pay for western
grains. Judge Smith called attention
to the fact that coal at the mines in
West Virginia is worth 95 cents for a
long ton, and he says that we some
times don't remember that man can
go down 500 feet under the earth there
and bring up 100 pounds of coal and
find that he can get only two good eggs
for it at our winter season prices. The
candidate advises the republicans OF
whatever fractional belief to stand by the
republican ticket and the judge express
ly said ''the whole ticket" About the
only thing that the judge is trying tC
impress upon the voters is that republi
can management is vastly to be pre-
| ferred to democratic management. Or
this broad basis the republicans of the
county ought to be able to get together

Republican Prospects Improving.

In many districts throughout the
country the result this year has all
along been felt to be doubtful Fifty
four of the present members of the House
were chosen in 1908 by pluralities which
fell below 1000. Thirty of these mem
beers are Republicans and twenty four
are Democrats. Twenty-Five members
of the present House hold their seats by
pluralities of less than 1000, and twenty
of these are republicans. At the outset
in the campaign, the Republicans were
confronted by the fact that if the Dem
ocrats should make anet gain of twenty
three seats they would control the next
House. The Democrats gained two
seats in Maine Naturally this has en-
couraged them to make supreme effort
to carry a majority of the doubtful dis
tricts. Moreover, so far as the general
public can discern, the Republican con-
gressional canvass lags. Nobody recalls
a congressional canvass in many years
in which SO little interest seems to be
taken by the Republican national lead
ers as is shown this year. On every side
is noticed a repetition of the apathy
of which the Republicans complained in
congressional campaign of 1890, in the
Democratic tidal wave year. No Dem.
ocrat is quite so exuberant as to predict
that his party will carry the House this
year by any such majority as it rolled
up then. But a majority of even a
tenth of the dimensions of that of 1890,
would put the Democrats in control. In
the past few days, however, Republi,
can hope has revived somewhat The
work of the Republican Convention in
New York, which adopted an orthodox
party platform and put up straight,
out ticket, and the stalwart declarations
by tbs state conventions in Massachu.
sets and Michigan, are of good omen.
But the clouds in the sky have not yet
dispersed. Unless far greater activity
and intelligence is shown by the Repub
lican campaign managers in the next
four weeks than have been displayed
thus far the next House of Representa-,
tiyes may fall into Democratic hands.

LACK OF ENTHUSIASM
He That Hath Ears To Hear Let
Him Hear

If one waited to get warm over the
enthusiasm manifested by the vox pop
uli in this campaign. he would freeze TO
death One of the county committee
men of one of the parties asked a News
man Yesterday if it was true that the
election had been callbd off this year
The News is not gloating over the con-
dition it describes 1t is simply stating
a t-lamentable as it may be: ltun
derstands that there is good deal OF in
difference as to politics throughout the
state-it knows there is in this county.
Here a good deal of it is easily explained
and will be when the proper time ar
rives But apart from local causes OF
Indifference. there is the dominating
cause to be found in biennial elections
and a primary law whose particular pur-
pose it is to breed anarchy In the spring
to be reaped in November.
There is also the indifference caused
by the general prosperity OF the people:
The most of them take 1T as a matter OF
course and do not know that the inclt-
ing cause is the legislation enacted by
the republican party during the past
fourteen years. They think that COCO
times" like Topsy, Just grows; ana
that it don't make any difference what
happens at election time that they will
continue right along. Some of these III
different voters will wake up some
morning and wonder who knocked the
bottom out of the whole business. Then
they will get interested in political pol
icies and political parties again. 1t is
only when their stomachs are empty, OF
prices of things they have to sell are on
a free trade basis, that they rally round

Organized Effort Against Cosson

You will be urged by alleged republi-
cans to vote against Cosson and the
Cosson laws. The wide openers are or
ganized and working to defeat Cosson
for attorney general, and to repeal the
Cosson laws This is one of the places
where party lines conflict with the lines
of good citizenship. Republican or dem.
ocrat how are you going to line up on
the Cosson laws and the candidate who
is pleged to enforce law?
Bryan and Lind in their respective
states, represent the best element of
their party. If Bryan and Lind were
voters in Iowa they would vote, no
doubt, to uphold the Cosson laws. The
republicans who are fighting those laws
and who intend to defeat Cosson, are
that element in the republican party
which Bryan and Lind defy in the Dem
ocratic party, those who find enforced
law onerous and who would thru the
fear or cupidity of officials charged with
enforcement, suspend the operation OF
any law which interferes with profits or
power That gang, republican and dem
ocrat, is after Cosson' S scalp. Are you
with them?
Enforcement of the law is above po-
litical partisanship. Irrespective OF
party every voter who believes the con-
duct of the attorney generals Office as
under Byers is better than the perfunct-
DRY and weakened performances of
the past; who believes the people should
haye the means of removing county at
torneys, sheriffs and mayors who refuse
to keep the oath office, or whose person
al conduct is disgrace to the commun,
ity, should vote for Cosson and the Coss
on laws. The others will vote the other
way. They never stay at home, never
fail to vote and always vote their own
interests. Marshall Times Republican

A Pioneer Passes Away.

I. III. Turner was down at Brighton
Iowa, last week to attend the funeral of
his father, Thomas N. Turner who de-
parted this life October 3, 1910, at the
age of S3 years IL months and % days.
The immediate cause of his death was
a stroke of paralysis, which carried him
away two hours after he was stricken,
Mr.. and Mrs. Turner who were mar
ried in 1916 had ten sons, seven of whom
are still living and all of them attended
the funeral. He and his wife, with his
parents, came west in 1S4S and settled
in Jefferson county, Iowa, and he has
always lived in that section of the
state. Since 1859 he was consistent
member of the church. The Brighton
Enterprise from which we get this in
formation, says that Mr.. Turner has
always been man of strict integrity,
straight in all his dealings, and always
ready to lend helping hand to the
needy. He was kind and loving hus-
band and father, and great lover of
his home from which he was seldom
absent.

MP TAFT AND THE PRIMARIES.

The Minneapolis Journal, strong
progressive paper, has the following con-
corning President Taft and his admins
tration. So,
michigan republicans have joined
those of New York and Minnesota, In
praising the Taft administration for its
achievements in law making and law
enforcing. They accept the Payne tar
Tiff act as merely the beginning OF grad.
nal revision now to be scientifically
carried on through the work of the tar
iff board. And Michigan was swept IN
the primaries by the progressives, whllc
the New York convention was domi
mated by the enthusiastically acclaimed
chief of the progressives.
President Taft seems now at length to
recognize this basic truth. He has re-
tracted his error of according or with
holding patronage according as senator
and representative supported or opposed
administration measures. he recognizes
ALI republicans who come with a man
date from the people. But it must not
be lost sight of that Mr.. Taft, while
making serious political blunders, has at
the same time given the country the
most thorough and effective administra-
rive rnle IL has ever had This only illus
trates the fact that Mr.. Taft is no poll
tician, but a great administrator, Pc
iitically, no doubt, he has been badly
advised, and has followed bad advice;
But on his own ground he has succeeded
brilliantly. And after ALL that is the
most important of presidential functions.
AS for the political course OF events,
Mr.. Taft has had his lesson. He has
heard from the primaries. He isnow In
a position to put his administration In
more sympathetic accord with his party
and at the same time push forward his
administrative successes
