Des Moines. May 2s.-The progress
sive republicans are becoming aware
that in addition to the usual effort
to "scare 'em TO death" being made by
the factionaIists in order to bolster up
their cause. the money that Congress
man Mckinley promised at the time
the Jackson committee was organized
is now coming into use. A letter from
a southern Iowa county indicates what
is happening. 1t says that certain
we'll known politician of standpat re-
liability visited the county seat and
started the movement to use money in
the campaign. He wrote:
This man met the leading
standpatters and instructed them
to quietly send men Of influence m
to each country precinct TO call on
the standpat friends and urge up
on them the necessity TO have all
standpatters out on primary day.
He said that by doing this on the
quiet they would be able TO get out
their full vote while the progress
sives would not be aroused and
would fail TO vote on election day
1t is the still hunt plan. He is to
furnish the money to Pay all ex-
penses. He said. If you need
money advise me and I will send
it to you "
This corresponds with what has been
known all along in regard to the form
alton Of the Jackson committee, that
by making pretense not to be working
for any particular candidate, but for
the candidates for delegates. this COM
7nittee will be able to evade the Iowa
law as to expenditure in the cam aign.
The flood of money which Congress
man Mckinley is willing to have used
to keep Iowa from endorsing the sena-
tors can thus be used without the ne
cessity of making a report on the same.
The latest stunt of the standpat com
nittee is to try TO scare the voters into
voing for the CannonAldrich candi-
dates for state office. One of the
prominent state house advisers of the
governor, ''Bilr' Spry, who with Jani-
tor Cox comprised the collection COM
gnittee to secure an assessment from
the state house force. stated yesterday
that unless the standpatters win in the
primary they will turn the state over
to the dem ocrats just as sure as No
ed in Washington dispatches as declar-
ing openly that if the progressives car
ry Iowa, the "stalwarts," as he calls
the standpatters, will vote the demo-
cratic ticket next fall. This CORE
spends with Frank Jackson's hysteric
calamity cry warning the people Of
what will happen unless his faction
gains control of the state, such as
watch the business interests Of the
country reef their sails in preparation Of
the storm" and see business hunting
cyclone caves etc. LATE Young
thru his paper, serves notice Of intent
to bolt and go democratic if things do
not go TO suit. AS a matter Of fact,
good judges of political conditions are
saying that there is not the slightest
danger in the world Of an organized
bolt in Iowa but that having made a
miserable failure of it a short time
ago the radicals viii hardly try it
again.
For one thing it will be brought 20
mind in connection with the figuring
on how to split the party. that on the
state ticket there will be several very
staunch standpatters, like Morrow and
Bleakley and Evans. and they will not
sanction any organized bolt of the
standpatters Then there Will be a
great many district judges on the tic
kets and they will not do anything 70
encourage a split in the party. There
will be ninety-nine candidates for the
legislature and every one will be in
terested in ma intaining the party in
tegrity. There Will be about 1000
other republican candidates for county
offices and they will not be pleased to
have the radical leaders conjuring with
a fractional bolt. A for the congress
men the prospect is that the republic
can majority in the next congress will
depend upon what is done in the states
of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas. Mime
sofa, and few others, and if Major
Laceys assertion that democrats are
better in congress than are the pro-
gressive republicans then the Taft adj
,ninistration will be in bad way for
the progressives must be depended up
on TO make up the republican majority.
IT is believed that the effort Of Rev.
Mr. Abel to wipe out the progressive
vote of Iowa on governor will be about
as effective as his plo. to rid the state
of rabbits by conducting a New Year 9
rabbit hunt with his Sunday school
boys armed with clubs.
Pastor Abel attained worldwide
fame as the rabbit killing parson" for
this feat which came near to breaking
m his church And not a rabbit was
dubbed to death.
Now Pastor Abel has relegated to
himself the prerogatives OF Saint Peter
and has undertaken to decide who is
fit to enter the kingdom and who Is
not When the governors of Iowa
march up to the gate the saint will
simply pull out the Abel letter and
divide the saints and sinners in ac-
cordance with the Abel dictun.
A copy of Pastor Abers letter is in
possession of the writer. It is printed
on the stationery of the Wesley church
It is said that some of the church
members of the Wesley congregation
not only objected to the effort to give
a certificate of character to Carroll and
at the same time to put Governor Garsi
outside the category of worthy citizens
but they also object to the very palpa-
BILE Justification Of the record by asser-
ton that the Garst candidacy orig
mated .'in the political strife at Wash
inRton city" This gross falsehood
they say, rather spoils the effect OF the
letter.
In this connection it is stated that
Wesley church Is far from being united
