BOTH FACTIONS ARE
NOW WORKING TOGETHER
In The Utmost Harmony And Will
Stand For The Whole Ticket
From Carroll To Coroner.

That both factions of the Republican
party in Iowa are rapidly getting to
gether and making ready to take o bolC
stand against common enemy, is clear
ly evident from the tone of the press
and the conversation among individuals,
Even in Polk county they had a Repub-
lican love feast y week ago, participated
in by leaders of both factions And
when those fellows down there can
break bread together, there must be a
revival of Republican religion permeat-
ing the atmosphere. Republicans have
many scraps among themselves, bnt
when the Democrats take them by sur
prise, and win victory as they did
down in Maine, they drop the family
quarrel, and go after the enemy. The
acquittal of Governor Carroll has left
no excuse for any Republican not to
support the entire ticket; and Republi-
cans are quite unanimous in the opinion
that it is far better to elect Republi-
can, regardless of fractional beliefs, than
a Democrat who is opposed to all the
great Republican principles As an in
dication of change in the republican
press, we quote from some of the lead
ing papers.
FROM THE REGISTER LEADER
AS the congressional campaign opens
here in Iowa, the republican voter of
whatever persuasion is going to find it
hard to give any real reason for wanting
a democratic majority in the next cong
resS.
If he be progressive republican, he
will be confronted with the fair assur
ance that a democratic majority now
will probably bring about a great re-
action in his own party and leave him
holding the sack in the party counsels
for long time.
If he is standpat republican, he will
be confronted with the more than posi-
bility that sweeping adverse majorities
now will stampede the party and bring
about compromises that would never be
thought of If the administration had
fair endorsement at the mid term cleo
ton.
Finally, neither the progressive repub-
lican nor the standpat republican can
have any real love of the democratic
party as now constituted, nor see any
thing to gain in the ascendency of po-
litical organization that has no well
defined leadership, either in or out of
congress. There may be a disposition
to take to the woods in many districts,
but there is nothing particularly prom
Using in that direction, either. In the
end it is more than likely that the vote
will be much more satisfactory from q
party standpoint, than anybody is now
predicting The individual voter will
find that while he is confident that thous-
ands of others will not support the
ticket, he, himself. has no reason for
voting for anybody but the nominees. ;"
FROM The BURLINGTON HAwKEYE
The Burlington Hawkeye, which has
views quite opposite to those held by the
Register&L Leader, proposes to work with
it for the good of the cause by offering
to pursue any course that is deemed ad-
visable to bring about the election of all
the Republican nominees. Speaking of
the vital Importance of counteracting the
effect of the bitterness injected into the
campaign before the primary, it says
'"The problem is, how can this be done
Primarily, this movement can be and
ought to be inaugurated by the Repub-
lican press. The high duty devolves
upon the Des Moines Register 81 Leader
the Des Moines Tribune, the Marshall
town Times Republican,, the Council
Bluffs Nonpariel, the Davenport Times,
the Spirit Lake Beacon, and other prOmi-
nent, active, progressive newspapers
that have been and are active opponents
of the new cult and it's leaders to form
ulate the republican plans for this cam
paign and outline the safest line of de-
fense The plan must be an argument
that will appeal to both factions alike,
an appeal founded on the truth, the
good sense, the patriotism of the voters,
and hold them in line for the entire
state, congressional, Legislative and
local republican tickets. Unjust not be
eyasive or half hearted, or insincere,
but honest, direct and one that has the
true ring of reason and sound states
manship.
.The Hawkeye adiures every repub-
lican of Iowa to vote the entire ticket.
Stand by the republican party. don't de-
sert it in the hour of adversely"
