DIES MONIES, Iowa, April 49,
Iowa progressives have thrown
down the gauntlet to Iowa stand
patters. They are ready for a
fight, the fight of their lives.
With the announcement of ex-
Gov. Warren Garst, stanch pro-
gressive, that he would be a candi-
date for governor, the hardest,
most bitter battle of years started.
He is opposed by Gov. B. +. Car
roll, standpatter.
1t will be fight wherein ma
tional politics will play a leading
part. For insurgency" at Wash.
ington is "progressiveness" in
Iowa. And the regulars" at the
national capital are "standpatters
here. If the progressives win, II
will be counted national victory
for insurgency. If the standpats
win, it's a victory for the Taft
Cannon-Aldrich regulars.
Senators Cummins and Dolliver
will desert their duties in Wash
ington to lend aid to Garst Carroll
will bring Cannon, Tawney, Dial
Zell and other standpatters.
The Carroll movement to bring
Washington men here has already
started. Congressman Mckinley
of Illinois, millionaire traction man
and adherent of Taft, has already
shown his hand.
| Taft clubs are being organized
through Frank D. Jackson, ex-gov
ernor and standpatter, with the aid
of Mckinley literature and McKin
ley money. The clubs are formed
for the purpose of rousing Taft
sentiment and insuring his en-
| dorsement, and to give Carroll q
! chance to hang on to the presi

.REUTERDAHL MAKES HOT
REPLY TO ARMSTRONG

Editor The Press-The attack on
me by Mr.. Armstrong in current
issue of another paper requires a
reply.
He states that "The Reuterdahl
plans did not provide for the supply
pipes to fill the standpipes. 1t was
not the city engineers fault. Reu-
terdahl took the work out Of his
hands. So now, according to the
plans, we will have standpipes with
out water"
Now, in regard to Mr.. Arm
strongs statement that no provision
had been made in the plans for
mains to connect the standpipes--
such a statement is due either to
deplOrable ignorance or wilful and
malicious misrepresentation - in
either case a regretable condition
of mind for a public official.
In regard to the much discussed
question of the need of standpipes.
This is now an old and settled cues

layman like Mr.. Armstrong to ever
venture his opinion against an en-
| gineering authority like Professor
Burr, who emphatically pronounced
himself for standpipes and con
Cured in and approved the plans.
If Mr.. Armstrong would take
merely few moments to inspect
| tho MI onnvAVn6 h1r Drn
| lessor Burr he will find even the
sizes of the mains which were pro
vided as connections to the stand
| pipes-but perhaps 1t is asking too
much to expect that a very busy in
dividual like Mr.. Armstrong should
| spend time on such trivilalities-
the political game is Of more I'M
portance to Mr.. Armstrong and his
rapidly vanishing cOterie than the
| truth.
Mr.. Armstrong states that I took
the work out of the city engineer
hands. Another deliberate misstate
ment. 1t was by direct order and
resolution of the city council that
was placed in absolute charge OF
the work; furthermore, the city
charter provides that the water
commissioner shall be in charge OF
the entire water system of the city
and directly responsible to the coun
Gil alone.

dents coat tails, in the hopes big
Bill will pull him through.
Garst, along with Senators Cum
Minis and Dolliver, typifies the real
Iowa progressive. He is one of the
leaders in the progressive move
ment, which first took shape some
ten years ago on the floor of the
Iowa senate when the state was
making its notable fight against
the railroads. Garst, with G.. s..
Gilbertson, Thos. Chesire, Tom
Healy. now dead, and A. b. Funk,
fought the railroads and their spe-
cial lobbyists to a standstill-
fought them and beat them.
They are fighting yet-fighting
for the cause of progressiveness
insurgency if you wish, but fight
ing, nevertheless.
Carroll, present governor and
candidate to succeed himself is
classed as standpatter. He's
hardly true standpatter, al
though he has allied himself with
that clan. He straddles and sits
on the fence whenever he can, a
good deal like Taft.
The election in June of the
men themselves is really only a
| secondary matter. It's fight of
insurgents against regulars.
And the fight Is not with the
governors alone. It's on congress
men, too. Capt. Hull Of the Sew
enth congressional district, a
| Washington regular will be op-
posed by Judge S. F. Prouty, pro-
gressive, and warm personal
| friend of Senator Cummins. In the
| Ninth district Walter I. Smith,
| member of the rules committee
and regular, must put up his dukes
| against Attorney General II. w.
/ Byers, firm progressive.
The insurgents are determined
to fill every office with progress
sives, men opposed to Cannon
Aldrich rule and dominion, and
against the tariff as adopted.

said Miss Kaelred. Wherever l
went, in cafes, on the street,
everywhere, / looked for the vam-
pire type. And | found it, too.
There are vampire women and ]
studied them.
There are two sides to every
question, of course. And the YAM
pre woman has her reasons for
existence.
"In the first place, some man
made her. She didn't want to be
vampire; perhaps she was only
looking for the honest love that
every woman is entitled to. Then
the man played vampire with her
he took all she had to give and
then left her.
"In most cases the girl turns to
another man, hoping against hope
that the first man was bad and
the next one won't be. But she
is generally disappointed. The sec
ond man is vampire, too.
Then, after she has been twice
fooled, she finds a third. But this
time, in self-protection, she plays
the vampire, not he.
perhaps she is merciless. That
is only because the men-vampires
have been merciless with her. She
knows that the minute she ceases
being a vampire the man will be-
gin to play the role.
"The memories of her first ex-
periences embitter her mind and
she never forgets them. Every
blow she strikes at mankind is
aimed at that first man, who took
all she had to give and gave her
nothing in return.
"She is glad enough to see man.

she is proud of it.
Wherever you find a vampire
woman, you will find a man vam-

pires who destroy them.

New Machine Gun.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The army ha:
Just adopted a new type of machine
gun which has some remarkable
points of advantage over the existing
guns. The new weapon is so small it
can be carried by man or two with
full equipment of rams and ammu-
milton. Moreover, it has the important
advantage that it can be flied from
the shoulder, and consequently is
much less subject to attack and cap
ture by the enemy.
The ammunition is carried on steel
strips and the new gun is said to be
free from the danger of choking while
the barrels are carried n duplicate
and can be almost Instantly changed
when they become heated from rapid
