GO TO THE POLLS.

A light vote is threatened at the
primary election tomorrow Anything
less than an average vote would be
most unfortunate The merits of the
case are we'll stated by the Spirit Lake
Beacon in these words:
With the primary came in the bien-
NAL election. The voter is relieved
of all political demands upon his
time in the odd numbered years, and
it is asking very little in the way of
a contribution to patriotism to insist
that he fail not in the performance of
the plain duty of aiding in the making
of party ticket just once in twenty
four months Nothing imperils popu
lar government like popular indiffer
ence. Nothing so valuably promotes
good government as the determination
upon the part Of all intelligent citi
zens to take hand at the polls ane
in states like this the primary poll:
is where events are most certainl.
shaped. 1t is idle to read and thinl
and approve and condemn public mel
and public measures and policies AM

telligent reason has as yet been given
why he should not be honored with a
second term. We believe he Will win

The fact is that the fight on Cover

pose of giving our two senators al

of everything and everybody in the

VOTE FOR CARROLL.

A vote for Carroll will be vote OF
confidence in a man who has filled
the office of governor of Iowa with
all the ability, decency and dignity
that any executive has ever brought
to the office. Why there is an oppos-
ing candidate is thus forcibly stated
by the Waterloo Reporter:
The only reason for it is desire
on the part of a few politicians to pre-
sumo that the people need guardian
because thew are unable to judge
whether they have been well served
or not. Every voter who has real Re
publican blood in his system owes 1t
to himself and his party to so vote as
to rebuke the brazen effrontery OF the
boss who wants to dictate who SHAH
fill the offices all the way from gov
enor to constable.

Get Out the Vote.

Mt Pleasant Journal: The friends |
of President Taft are undoubtedly IN
the majority-a large majority-in |
Iowa, but If they would give a prac-
tical expression of their friendship
they must go to the polls next Tues
day. Every Republican who believes
the national and state administrations
ought to be sustained: that the party
measures in congress ought to be
adopted in fulfllment of platform
pledges and the good of the country,
and that Governor CAROLS wise and
prudent administration of state affairs
ought to be approved and the COVER
nor given a second term in accordance
with time-honored custom, should not
only vote at the primary election, but
he ought to be active in getting other
friends to vote.
In the rush of business and employ
ment in the city and the towns, and
the pressure of farm work, there will
be temptation to neglect this import
ant duty. 1t involves the loss of time
and the making of some sacrifice by
busy men, but the eXigency justifies
the effort to maintain the integrity
of the Republican party and the con-
ditions of commercial and industrial
activity the country has had during
the past years. The ceaseless agita-
ton by ambitious politicians for per-
sonal advantage is hurting every bust
ness and occupation and promises far
more results il not rebuked by the

every legitimate influence at his COM
mand to unity the Republican party

reform. measures which he believes,
and intelligent, conservative citizens,
believe, will greatly aid to restore
confidence and promote the best inter
est of all the people of every class.
| For business, as well as political rea-
sons, the Republicans of Iowa ought
to turn out enmasse next Tuesday
and vote for the denomination of Gov.

WHOM TO VOTE FOR.

Many voters complain that they
are at loss to know whom to vote
for at the primary tomorrow for state
and district offices because of lack of
knowledge of the qualifications OF
those seeking nomination and because
also of not knowing whether they are
regular Republicans or insurgents.
For the offices of lieutenant governor,
secretary of state, auditor of state and
candidate each; the candidates in
each instance are the present incum-
bents and they should of course be
endorsed for another term. The Taft
Republican candidates for the remain
ing state offices and for congress,
First district, are as follows, and ev-
eryone of them should have the vote
of every genuine Republican in Iowa:
For Governor, B F. Carroll.
For Attorney General. Guy E. Feely.
For Clerk of Supreme Court, H. L.
Bousquet.
For Reporter Supreme Court, NJ. L.
Person
For State Superintendent, A. L.
Heminger.
For Railroad Commissioners, (two
candidates to be voted foD D. j.
Palmer and James H. Wilson.
For Congress First district, c. A.
kennedy.
Mr.. Feely, the candidate for attor-
ney general, is not. strictly speaking,
an administration Republican, but he
is less open to criticism on that score
than any other candidate for the of.
fee, and he is preferable to any other
also on the ground of superior quail,
fications. No one will make a ms
take in voting for the above-named
preferred candidates.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1910-06-06

The Republican candidates for
nomination for the various county Of
fees are competent and worthy men
and are fairly entitled to endorsement
at the primary tomorrow by a large
vote. This is an additional reason
why every Republican should go TO
the polls and register his sentiments
in the ballot box. The larger the
vote ia the primary election the great
er the probability of success at the
general election in the fall. Let there
be general turnout at the polls to-
morrow.

When person begins to feel a little
gloomy, little discouraged, and tired
OF everything and everybody. he needs
a rest and change, and the best way
to get them is to camp out for few
weeks in Colorado. The first view OF

Colorado must have been designed

A Rotten piece of Politics,

Columbus Safeguard: That false at

Harrington Republican against John

paign manager, in hopes that it might

TO VOTE FOR DELEGATES.

First make sure that the men you
vote for for delegates to the county
convention are Taft Republicans.
This is matter of supreme import
ance.
Second, after sticking list OF
names on your ballot, or writing list
of names IN with pen or pencil, cross
the squares in front of each name. Do
not forget this. Nobody is voted for
on the official ballot whose name does
not have a cross in the squar, in
front of it.

KENNEDY SURE OF VICTORY.
Congressman Will be Renomnated
Without Doubt at the Primaries
Tomorrow.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The fore
casts of the primary vote IN the FIRST
district made by the Hawk-EyeF gives
assurance of the nomination OF
Charles A. Kennedy to congress. In
only one county does it appear that
Brookhart is conceded victory. Wash
ington, his own county, will probably
go for him as matter of courtesy
Congressman Kennedy has not at
tempted to canvass that county, and
as a result Brookhart will probably
carry it. Van Buren, county is claim
ed by Brookhart, as are all the other
counties except Lee. But 1T is be-
lieved that Kennedy will have good
safe majority in Van Buren,. In Lee
he will receive about 1000 majority,
and Jefferson will give him about SOo.
Henry county is good for 800 more,
and Des Moines county will stand by
him and Taft by good sized major
ity. In Louisa mighty fight has been
made by Senator Carpenter for Brook
hart. and aid has been given the
progressives by Editor Hawkins, who
! is said to have been displeased with
Kennedy because he did not continue
him in the postoffice.
This has made things look some
what favorable to Brookhart. but the
Hawk-Eye's advices from that county
give assurance of safe majority for
/ Kennedy despite the uproar that the
progressives have been making.
From Fairfield the Hawk-Eye re-
ceiyes word that there is no doubt
that the regular Republicans will
win. There has been no warm con-
test there The regular Republicans
have an organization in nearly all the
precincts and are making every pos
4 sible effort to get out the vote. On
full vote Carroll will have 500 ma
jority Kennedy will fall behind that
as congressman always does. 1t is
believed this estimate is conservative
unless there should be an unusually
large stay-at-home vote.
