we'll wishers and without regard to
partisan or factional differences. So II
was in fact the desire OF all those who
beg to differ with Taft the "titular
leader" as well as those who affect to
believe 1t treason to take issue with
him on anything, to show that what
ever may be thought Of the particular
brand Of politics Taft may desire. we
are all for the president Of the United
States.
1t is not true that President Taft
was received with marked evidence of
enthusiastic adultation: neither is it
true that he vas treated with disre-
spect nor made to feel uncomfortable.
The president 81 the United States was
given cordial and sincere welcome to
the city and wss listened to with re-
spectful attention as he discussed the
burning questi ms Of the day. That was
all
But in Dcs Mnines the incident is on.
Of past history and the people are not
standing around on the streets talk

senator Null.llllIS agrees WITH ScId =

The Idaho man says there will be no
tariff revision at the next session of
congress. and the Iowa senator says
this is likely to be the situation. Sem

ellison Gardner, correspondent for
the Newspaper Enterprise Association,
quoted Senator Cummns as follows on
the proposed presidential preference
primary for Iowa, which is sure go
unless orders come from the outside to
call it off:
II think it the fair way to determine
what the republicans of Iowa want. If
President Taft can get a majority OF
the votes of his party here. he Is en-

primary is the logical way to settle 1t.
The past week & number of other
leading republican papers have fallen
into line for the primary idea and are
saying that it is the right way to dis

desire that the presidential matter be
settled in this way so that it will not
interfere in the least with the regular
primary.
