licans could have accomplished in 1891
and it is the most the insurgents cal
accomplish now.
tits to be regretted that the course
of our senators has been so radica
and that their entire attitude has
been SO unfriendly to President Tai
and the entire work of the admins
tration. 1t is still more to be regret
ted that the leading newspaper o.
Iowa has been so Systematically un
truthful, unfair and unreliable in this
contest.
BY \such methods the vast repub
lican majority of Iowa has been whit
tiled away to mere thread, and II
Iowa shall have democratic delega
ton in the next congress the Register
and Leader will be more to blame fol
| it. than any other cause. This not be
cause that paper has been factional
but because it has not told the truth
has not recognized the rules of hon
orable political warfare, and has been
willing to accord honesty of purpose
Ito none but its own camp followers.
In the congressional contests 1t will
be noticed that whereas the insur
gents are making bitter fights against
the republican candidates, the repub
licans have not retaliated in kind. The
nominations will be:
LIST district Republican.
End district erik, insurgent.
Bird district Pickett, progressive re
publican.
4th district-Haugen, insurgent.
9Th Good, progressive republican.
9th district-Kendall, insurgent.-
7th district Hull, republican.
9Th district Towner, republican.
9th district Smith, republican.
10th district Woods, insurgent.
18th district Hubbard, insurgent.
Mr.. Mayne has made a strong can
vass in the 10th district and he will
receive the republican vote, together
with the votes of many progressives
who are not insurgents.
Hull will carry Polk county and
will have a decisive majority in his
district. Towner will carry two-thirds
|of the counties of his district; Smith
will hav not less than two thousand
majority in the ninth, and Kennedy
will be an easy victor.
Unless there comes reaction after
the primary and unless better judg
ment is used by all classes of repub
licans, as we'll as by the insurgents
lit is within the range of possibility
that any or all of the democratic nom
inees may be elected in November.
One of the real tests of party fealty
will be in the vote for governor.
If Iowa republicans are not blinded
by factionalism Gov Carroll will be
renominated by sweeping majority
He has made an excellent governor
He has been businesslike. economical
and fair in the conduct of his office
By all the rules of party precedent hi
deserves denomination. If Garst, stree
by Keltz and damned by Cownie, should
be successful, it will simply mean thai
factionalism in Iowa has gone mad
and riotous. It is our judgment tina,
Carroll will have thirty thousand ma
ljority.
Clark, progressive, has no. opposi
ton for lieutenant governor. This il
as 1t should be. He will be elected
and unless Garst intervenes he will be
the logical republican candidate 70,
governor two years from now.
We would not undertake to advise
much as to the balance of the state
ticket
4 Supt. Riggs has made good super
intendent and should be renamed. We
became all the more of q Riggs mar
when we saw him handle drunken
rough on a Northwestern train moi
long sine. He certainly has nerve and
good judgment.
For clerk of the supreme court Bos
quet has done good service. He lis an
honest old Dutchman real Holland
Dutch-and he deserves support.
/ For attorney general there are three
candidates-all progressive.
Fealey, ex-speaker of the Iowa
house.
Cosson, shadow of Webb Byers.
Chantland, of Fort Dodge, good
lawyer, a gallant soldier in the Span
ish war, and consistent friend OF
Crawford county in the past. Chant
land was schoolmate friend Of the
writer, and if our republican readers
have no choice we would appreciate
q vote for him as a personal favor.
P. J. Klinker is interested in a like
manner in the candidacy of Person TO,
supreme court reporter. He is a fine
young man and it would be well tc
vote for him.
For state senator, Carl F. Kuehnhle Of
