The Song of Iowa.

The Song of Iowa." written by
S. H. NJ. Byers, and sung to the air
of Maryland, My Maryland" has
been adopted by the State Legisla-
ture as the State Song, and the
author furnishes us with correct
copy thereof, printed below:
You ask what land l love the best,
Iowa, it's Iowa,
The fairest State of all the West,
Iowa, O! Iowa.
From ycnder Mississippi's stream
To where Missouri's waters CLEAN,
o! fair it is as poets dream, Iowa
in Iowa.
See yonder field OF tasseled corn,
Iowa, in Iowa,
Where plenty fills her golden horn,
Iowa, in Iowa,
See how her wondrous prairies shine
To yonder sunsets purpling line,
o! happy land, o! land of mine,
Iowa, o! Iowa.
And she has maids whose laughing
eyes, Iowa, o! Iowa,
To him who loves were Paradise,
Iowa, o, Iowa.
0! happiest fate that e'er was known,
Such eyes to shine for one alone
To call such beauty all his own,
Iowa, o! Iowa.
Go read the story of the thy past,
: Iowa, o! Iowa,
What glorious deeds, what fame thou
hast! Iowa, o.. Iowa
So long as times great cycle runs,
Or nations weep their fallen ones,
Thou'lt not forget they patriot sons,
Iowa, o! Iowa.

for that purpose.
THE people of this state should see
to it that they have an opportunity
to vote for their choice for president.
They should exercise their right to
say in an effective way who they
would have as the presidential nom
inees, and not leave it TO the agency
of small band of shrewd machine
manipulators and ringsters. The time
has come when the people should take
this important matter in hand, to the
end that they may have their kind
of government instead of one for, by
and of the ringsters."
New Jersey, Wisconsin, North Da>
kota, Oregon, Nebraska, Massachus-
etts, California are among the states
which have adopted presidential pri-
mary laws and Georgia, Alabama, LOU
isiana, Ohio, South Dakota, and Penn
sylvania are among the states where
party machinery has been provided tc
determine the choice of the voters fol
presidential candidates. There is nc
doubt but that the presidential pri-
mary has come and has come to stay
at that. J

TENNESSEE WANTS A PRESlDEN-
TIAL PRIMARY.

Following the significant action OF
Georgia and Alabama in the South
and many other states throughout the
country. demand is being made that
the voters of Tennessee also have the
chance to express their choice for the
presidential nominations in primary.
The Nashville Tennessean declares:
The logic OF this position cannot
be successfully controverted, for if
the people are competent to elect
their president, after he has been
nominated, they are certainly compe-
tent TO choose the man to be placed
before them as candidate. AS they
must of necessity have only two men
in the general election to choose from
and II is their constitutional right to
name their president, it is Of vital i'm
portanee that they. and not any other
power on earth, should select their
choice OF men to become the party
nominees, and the only way this can
be done with any degree Of accur-
aey and satisfaction to the masses is
by a direct vote in a primary provided
