BIG MUSICAL COMEDY.
A Fine Attraction Coming to the
Grand Tomorrow Evening.

When a production contains all
the essential elements of success,
however, there is no public more
ready to bestow upon it approval and
patronage than the American
theatregoing public.
Honeymoon Trail" which comes
to the Grand tomorrow night is a
striking example of a real theatri-
cal success. From the time the cur
tain arose upon its initial perform
ance at the La Sale Theatre, Chi
Cago, almost three years ago, it has
met with success of the most gratify-
ing kind. Hard luck stories have
never followed it's presentation, in
every city in which it has appeared
press and public have been unani-
nous in declaring it the wittiest,
most melodious, most beautifully
mounted and most generously dress
ed production of the season.
Kelly and Fitzgerald have beeD
far sighted enough to see that
Honeymoon Trail is tco valuable
property to allow to deteriorate
and this present season, therefore,
sees it with as beautiful and elabor-
ate production as when its music
first floated over the footlights. A
cast numbering almost all the orig
inal favorites, and containing in its
roster such well known players as
Louis Kelso, Fred Wyckoff, Airline
Boiling and Carl George give to this
tuneful comedy snappy and artic-
tic presentation. The famous La
Sale Theatre chorus containing
thirty of the greatest singing and
dancing girls on the American stage,
is feature.

WHY NOT ONE PARTY?

There should be an end to faction
al warfare in the republican party
of Iowa.
Republican voters, without regard
to faction, elected a republican leg
islature. The republican voters did
not inquire whether a man were a
progressive or so-called standpat-
ter. He voted fer the nominee.
Some counties formerly called
standpat elected progressive to
the house or senate.
Some counties formerly called
progressive elected a standpat to
the senate or house.
These things indicate that the
rank and file of the republicans of
Iowa are in favor of peace. They
can see no reason for further divi-
sion.
The rank and file of the republi-
cans of Iowa want to help elect a
republican president in 1912.
II the rank and file had not want
ed peace and republican success more
than they wanted faction, there
would have been a democratic legis-
lature chosen.
PrOgressives did not want a demo-
cratic legislature. Standpatters did
not want a democratic legislature.
Therefore it would seem that if
there is continued division the
fault is not with the rank and file
All the republicans of Iowa want
good legislation. They want corpor-
ations controlled. They want trusts
destroyed. There is no division in
the party on these subjects.
Then why not get together. Why
not have one party instead of two?

The laws of the United States
which prohibit post masters and
mail carriers from taking an active
part in politics have been openly
and flagrantly defied. Post masters
have openly neglected their duties
and devoted their time to campaign
work for Mr.. Haugen. Mail car
riers have been terrorized by written
demands signed by Mr.. Haugen for
work and support. The laws of the
postal department have been violat-
ed in various ways. Money has
been used for illegal purposes.
Methods have been resorted to which
would shame Pennsylvania in the
first days of election frauds.
All these things and many more
have resulted in giving Mr.. Haugen
an apparent majority, but We do
not believe that the people are re-
quired to submit to such methods,

fully any fact or circumstance which
will aid in this fight.
This is to be no half-hearted busi-
ness, it means a fight to the finish,

the man who has been legally elect
ed shall occupy his seat
Trusting you will aid us in every
way possible, I am, sincerely yours,

THE IOWA LEGISLATURE
Contest for Speaker of House Ol
Representatives.
UNITED STATES SENATORSHIP.
All Absorbing Topic Among low;
Politicians is the SenatOrsh.p.
Other Matters for Legis-
lative Action.


cording to all indications the con-
test for Speakership of the Iowa
house of Representatives this winter
is going to narrow down to a con-
test between Paul Stillman OF
Greene county and Ernest Moore OF
Linn county, the former represent
ing the progressive and the latter
the standpat republicans.
The United States senatorial pro-
blem is yet tangled one. Senator
A. B. Cummins has frankly announc-
ed that as among progressive aspir-
ants to the position he will show
no preference. Hon. H. w. Byers,
supposed to be one of the strongest
progressives, has not as yet announc-
ed his candidacy. Senator Lafayette
Young, appointed by Governor B.
F. Carroll, has held private con-
ference with Senator Cummins. In
asmuch as the primary system of
getting the peoples choice on United
States senator has been established
in Iowa the Register and Leader and
some other progressives are urging
an amendment to the law and a spe-
cial primary election before the leg
islature acts. Friends of Young are
urging that unless a primary is held
any attempt to overthrow precedent
and turn down the governors ap-
pointee would widen the breach in
the republican party and possibly
bring disaster to the republicans in
1912. His friends are urging that
republican success in 1912 can be as
sured to all if the legislature will
confirm his appointment to 1912, at
which time the peoples expression
at a primary will have been taken
and the republicans in the legisla-
ture can vote with some assurance
as to the peoples attitude.
Joe Long of Osceola is making an
active campaign for the appoint
ment of state binder at the hands
of the state legislature this winter.
Mr.. Long is an active newspaper
man and is getting great deal of
support from the editors through
out the state who feel that the news
paper profession should be recogniz-
ed in the selection of state printer
and state binder.
Members-elect of the Iowa legis-
lature are already beginning to Sc
lect and engage their winter quar-
ters in Des Moines. Many are plan
ming on bringing with them their
wives and families-as the season
affords a large number of social
functions and finds the theater sea-
son at full blast.
An important problem to be pre-
sented the legislature this winter
will be the passage of an anti-smoke
law. The state legislature once
passed law requiring cities the
size of Des Moines to use smoke
consumers. The governor withheld
his signature because the city coun-
ell agreed to pass an ordinance
regulating the matter. The city did
pass the ordinance but Incorporated
no penalty clause so it was void.
The state law was void because of
the Withholding of the governors
signature and ever since the city
has been rolling in smoke. The
health organizations of the city and
state will be back of the movement
and hope to get the legislature to
repeat it's former action with a view
Of not being tricked again.

SOCIALISTS SQUABBLE.
Organizing Of Branch OF Industrial
Workers Causes Merry Row.

Workers Causes Merry Row.
There was a wild time in a meeting
OF 200 Socialists in their hall at No.
GA Grand River-aye., Thursday night,
when A. M. Stirton, editor OF Soil
darity." Newcastle, Pa, publication.
started to organize local branch OF
the Industrial Workers of the World,
an organization that has for its OBJ
ject the amalgamation of all labor
organizations in one big union or
labor trust, to work for shorter hours
and higher wages. Such an organiza-
ton already exists in Detroit and was
originally affiliated with the general
body Mr.. Stirton represents, but a
split occurred two years ago over a
question of policy, the Detroit branch
tying up to the faction which insisted
on mixing in political issues.
When Mr.. Stirton, following an adj
dress on "One big union" proposed
the organization of a local branch of
Industrial Workers, II. Richter, gen.
eral secretary of the other organiza-
ton. interposed an objection and
challenged Mr.. Stirton to a debate
on the merits OF the two factions. Stir
ton declined to accept the challenge
and proceeded with the work OF or
ganization, while members OF the war
ring factions kept up a running debate
on the floor, not needing the chair
mans insistent calls for order Mr..
Stirton's efforts were successful, in
spite OF the opposition.
