Cownie the political atmosphere in
Iowa has been cleared, making is pos
sible for every Republican to con-
scientiously support the party NOM
inees from the head of the ticket to
the last man running for local office.
1t Is encouraging to note the wonder
full improvement in the Republican
situation throughout the state in the
forgetting of differences between
factions and the getting together for
a harmonious pull all along the line.
The desire of harmony is apparent not
only among voters but in the Republi-
can press of the state, being the unan-
imous opinion that it is better to elect
Republican, regardless of factional
beliefs, than Democrat who is OPP
posed to all the great Republican
principles.
