myself justified i'm stating that II oppo-

grounds that I have mentioned, that
opposition Is not justified. In my opln-
ion Mr.. smith is dne of the ablest and
most useful men ton either side OF the
house Of representatives and hiS ueieaI
would be a great Toss not onlyS 10 the
house but to the \ republican party.

longworth ,Standpatter.
Progressive republicans of the dis
trict and supporters {of Attorney Cfener-
al Byers, who Is opp6sing Congressman
Smith for the nominal ton, are not at all
perturbed by the letter from long
worth.
In the first place tn ley point out that
Longworth is a standnatter and always
has been, despite the sact that he rs a
son-in-law of Roosevelt, and pFoo-
ably will be the standp.at candidate lfor
governor of Ohio.
Further, the progres$iyes say tpat
Congressman Smiths RECORD shows pc
yond shadow of a doubt that he has
not been supporter of Roosevelt pol
icies, consistent and enthusic site" fs
Longworth says he has, but instead
has been aligned with Cahnon and Aid
rich against these policies.
Proof is found, they assert, by merely
referring to the time when Roosevelt
had occasion to pay especial attention.
to Congressman Smith BECAUSE of the'
opposition the latter and several other
congressman gave to the presidents bill
calling for an appropriation for the
secret service. President Roosevelt
landed hard on Congressman Smith
then, all Of which would not have oc-
Cured. the progressives point out, had
Smith been q consistent and enthus-
iastic supporter" of Roosevelt policies.
Garst at Story CityA
".rhere is but one way to commend
the Iowa insurgent senators; for the
course they have pursued in congress-
but one way to pay them the tribute
Justly due-and that is to give them
vote of confidence, send men to con-
gress who are in sympathy with their
position, and elect standard bearers in
the state who are also in perfect &C
cord with them"
So asserted Governor Garst, pro-
gressive candidate for governor, In a
rousing speech at Story City Saturday
night.
It was his initial appearance on the
stump in the present campaign, altho
he has made several small speeches the
past few weeks and considerable IN
terest attached to his address.
Judge Prouty. progressive candidate
for congress in this, the Seventh dis
trict, also spoke at the meeting.
Governor Garst left no doubt IN tine
minds of his audience as to where he
stood-and asserted that this contest is
wholly one Of principles, not of men.
