IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
"Of course the two senators will
get on amicably at Washington,
says the Des Moines Tribune. Sen
ator Cummins will not find it half
so embarrassing to take Col. Young
| by the arm and march him to the
vice president as Senator Dolliver
did when Senator Cummins first ar
rived"
The Atlantic News says that in
appointing LATE Young to the SEN
atorship, Gov. Carroll has won for
himself as much honor and distinc-
ton as he has given to Senator
Young. HE has given to other poll
ticians of this state" the News con-
tinues, lesson in appreciation of
unquestioned friendship and intelli-
gent loyalty and support which it
were we'll that they should pattern
after"
Been mentioned for senatorial
candidacy yet? Well, don't des-
pair, says the Waterloo Reporter.
THE entry lists will be open for
quite a while and it's a sweepstakes
scramble
STILL" says the Dubuque Tele-
graph Herald, I'VE needn't worry
about the colonel. He will be able
to take care of himself For scars
remind us that when it comes to
politics the colonel is Plato walking
in the garden, and we are his pu-
pills."
The Clinton Herald says that Sem
ator Young lis deserving of the hon.
or that has been bestowed upon him.
and grateful people of a great state,
for whom he has done much, would
be doing nothing more than their
duty by him if they insisted that
he be allowed to remain in the sem
ate until March 4, 1916.
Gov. Carroll" says the Keokuk
Gate City, has done his duty and
done it we'll in naming him (Young)
fOr tho Dnlliyar cuooacciop Nnu Iat
the legislature when it meets do its
duty in the premises by electing him
for all the remainder of the Dolli-
yer term"
The Cedar Rapids Gazette says If
it came right down to a pinch it
could name several men who would
like to go to the senate who are not
likely to go.
'Lafe Young is tiptop citizen
and an Iowa booster, every inch of
him." says the Waterloo Courier.
THE people of the state will stand
back of him during his brief hon.
orary term in the United States
senate"
"A pure democracy would be just
the thing if the people had nothing
to do the year round excep: to give
their attention to proposed legisla-
ton" says the Dubuque Times-Jour-
nal, referring to the initiative and
referendum.
The Waterloo Times-Tribune OBJ
serves that those who wanted Roose
Welt to make announcement that he
would not be a candidate for presi-
dent in 1912 so badly are not wor-
rying about it now.
The insurgent papers," observes
the Cedar Rapids Republican, al
ways mention Maj. Lacey and Col.
Hepburn as possible senators. They
know very well that neither one is
a possibility and neither one has
made a move to ask for it, but they
are paraded out merely for the pnr-
pose of prejudicing somebody"
The Burlington Hawkeye says it
will strike the impartial observer,
and especially that large element of
republicans not actively identified
with either faction, that with an
ultra progressive like Mr.. Cummins
in the senate, it will be more equit-
able and conductive to party har-

publicans at least the short term in
the senate. This duty and friend
