Cummins and Dolliver made an es-

the primary. Their candidate was H.
w. Byers, the attorney general OF the
state, a man of considerable populari-

hard fight for the nomination for con
gress. lnsurgent influence throughout
the state exerted itself in his favor,
because of the moral effect" which
would have been exerted by Smiths
defeat. Smiths overthrow would be
heralded by every insurgent and DEM

Quincy Wing: The returns from
Iowa Indicate that it is no longer the
nome of Republican insurgency.
Carroll has been nominated for COVER
nor by a tremendous plurality. and,
in every district where contest was
made except in one, the so-called regu-
lars have been triumphant by MAORI
ties that leave no doubt of the en-
phasis with which they were cast.
The result Is matter of congratula-
ton for the entire Republican party,
and 1t is particularly matter of con.
graduation for the splendid state of
Iowa.
There We're times when Iowa, be-
cause of the solidarity of the party
In that state and its splendid organiza-
lion. occupied one of the proudest po-
s.tions in the party and the govern
ment. 1t seemed natural for Iowa to
have a member Of the cabinet and to
have available timber for the presi-
dency, when such men as William B.
Allison represented that state, as he
did from 1873 until his death, serving
with honor and distinction through
more than an average generation.
During those times, when the Re
publican party in Iowa presented a
solid front. some in other states found
reason to complain because Iowa was
given so many honors. The reason
why Iowa obtained them was because
Iowa won them. Greater states, in
point of population received far less
recognition, but Iowa won, not be
cause of the amount of it's population
but because of the integrity of its par
ty fealty and patriotism.
Illinois, the third greatest state in
the union, which gave to the republic
Lincoln and Grant, accepted the gener
al party verdict in behalf of Iowa with
pleasure, as long as it displayed such
splendid fealty to the party.
When Cummins and other disturb
ers in that state sought to set the
Republican party, by the ears, sincere
Republicans in every portion of the
union looked to the real Republicans
OF that state to stand by the party
To them there was little difference be
tween an opponent of a Republican
tariff, who called himself progress
sive, or insurgent Republican, and ;
Democrat
The issue was clearly defined ant
was accepted by all Republicans il

in congress, of those who fought ths
party minority and sought to over
whelm a Republican President. In th.
Iowa state campaign, Mr.. Cummin.
put forth Garst as his candidat,
for governor against Carroll, the regu
lar nominee of the party 1t is pleas
ing to note that the early returns indi
cate that Carroll is nominated by from
between 10000 and 10000 plurality
The official figures are likely to swell
the total.
In about six congressional districts
in Iowa the present congressman hat
no opposition for denomination. 1t i,
lucky for them they had none. II
four districts the so-called insurgent
had no opposition, and in three o

The result in Iowa is lesson to the

harmony in the ranks and for loyal
ty to the ticket named by the pri-
mary. Let there be an. intelligent
and courageous advocacy of the
Amendment of the primary law
and other election laws wherever
they need amendment, always recog-
nizing the right of the supreme pow
er-the people-to regulate these
things, and let there be no attempt
to accomplish political results by
subterfuge. The republican party
in this state is big enough and has
brains enough to shape the laws
openly and fairly, but the trouble
has been that it has proceeded by
indirect and shiftless means to ac.
complish ulterior purposes and the
people have become disgusted.
A certain faction, in power at the
time, placed law upon the books in
1901, which it thought at that time
would enable it to elect a senator
two years later by the voice of the
people, but when the two years
rolled around that same faction ig-
nored their own law to a man, but
not one OF them has had the courage
since to attempt the repeal of that
law and it still stands on the books
a dead letter. Such insincerity has
disgusted the voters and no amount
of whipping into line" no amount
of factional bulldozing or forcing of
machine tickets will bring desired
results.
The party must recognize the ul-
innate power-the voter at the polls
and must treat him as q think
ing, self protecting being. lie must
not be figured as chattel or slave
that can be driven by the party whip
in the hands of discredited fore
men,"
If the assembly be guided by right
motives and influences it can do
much good. If it be guided by the
rule or ruin" element and it under
take to force candidates down the
throats of the people, willy-nilly, ii
will be the worst thing ever hap
pened.

In sickness. if a certain hidden
nerve goes wrong, then the organ
that this nerve controls will also
surely fail. 1t may be stomach
nerve, or it may have given strength
and support to the heart or kidneys.
1T was DR.. Shoop that first pointed
to this vital truth. DR.. Shoop's Re
storative was not made to dose the
stomach nor to temporarily stimu-
late the heart or kidneys. That
old-fashioned method is all wrong.

ly to these failing inside nerves,

of treating the actual cause of these
failing organs. And it is indeed

Knife the Ticket.

Suppose the claim of assembly adj
vocates be accepted as true that they
have no designs on the primary law,
and that the endorsement of candi-
dates by the assembly is not in
tended to shut out other aspirants for
nomination who may wish to go be-
fore the primaries, what then will
have been gained by the assembly
action and what will be the condi-
ton thus created?
In all fairness and justice to re-
publicans the newspapers of the
state cannot consistently and with
exclusiveness advocate certain
ticket or certain men prior to the
primaries, because whoever is NOM
mated will be the republican can
didate. All candidates will be en-
titled to fair hearing in the press
and if there be an organized effort
to shut out worthy men because they
decline to go before the assembly, it
Will ClOdl6 SuCh q ACOAAhEb hh0 justly
too, as will work havoc in the party.
Suppose we accept as valid the
excuse that is made for holding the
assembly and naming a ticket, that
under the present primary system
candidates are nominated by minor
tiles and are not representatives of
the party, then how is that trouble
to be remedied hy the assembly?
That assembly has no power to linn
it the number Of candidates and the
law recognizes the man who gets
the highest number of votes as the
legal nominee, just as the law pro-
vides that in the final election the
man who receives the highest num-
ber of votes is legally elected to the
Office.
This is a plurality government
and in the very nature of our system
it must continue to be, and the mar
who makes the excuse that his party
is not properly represented by 2
plurality candidate is simply look
ing for an excuse to WELD the dag
ger of disloyalty and vengeance
against the candidate he does no
happen to like.
The moment ticket is named BY
the assembly, the bosses who name
it will demand the support of it by
republicans to the exclusion of al
other aspirants within the party ant
should the voters in the primarie:
reject the assembly nominees and Sc
lect others, the bosses will once
again slaughter the successful ones
at the polls. That has been theil
history under the convention system
and under the primary system sC
far, and The News has no hope tina
the leopard will change its spots al
at once.
The fact is, there is not a single
valid argument in favor of the nam
ing of ticket by the proposed as
sembly. If such a meeting be held
it's proper function will be confined
to the formulation of a platform an(
