of 1912 will not be able to claim it as

fighting reciprocity as Republicans,
most of the farmers who are talking
and working gainst it belong to the
Republican party. Their votes and
those of the rest of the Republican
farmers must be held by the Republi'
can party in 1912 if it is to have any
chance to carry the country in that

ioWA'S NEW SENATOR.

Hon. w. s. Kenyon, of Fort Dodge
the newly elected United States sen
ator from Iowa, is the youngest man
this state has ever sent to the upper
house of the National congress. He
Is forty-two years of age. Senator
Kenkon came to Fort Dodge with
his father, minister who assumed
the presidency of Presbyterian col.
lege which later moved to Storm
Lake and became Buena Vista col
lege. Senator Kenyon was graduated
in law at the State University of
Iowa and returned to Fort Dodge to
practice. When twenty-five years of
age, in 1892, he was elected county
attorney of Webster county. On
May IL, 1893, he married Miss Name
Duncombet daughter OF Hon. and Mrs.
John F. Duncombe, of Ford Dodge,
He was on the district court bench
for two years, in 19O9.1902. In octo-
Der, 1903, succeeded Mr.. Duncombe
as district attorney for the Illinois
Central. After the selection of Gen.
eral Attorney j. NJ. Dickinson as sec
rotary of war in October, 1906, Mr..
Kenyon was appointed one of two
general attorneys for the road, with
headquarters In Chicago. He was ap.t

and many other farmers. represent.
ing all sections of the country, have
just arrived in Washington to open
their campaign against the Canadian
reciprocity pact. They intend to
make personal fight against it, and
to make special appeals to the rep
resentatiyeS of their respective dis.
trlcts and the senators from their
states. A large majority of these men
have always voted the republican
ticket. Their principal PROSECUTING
VIII be done among the republicans
while in Washington They believe
that the democrats will east almost
solid vote for reciprocity, but they
will attempt to array the republicans
against it, and thus defeat it in the
senate.
1t will be well for the republicans
IN congress to remember that the
rlumphs of their party heretofore
have been due to the support which
the farmers of the country have given
to it. In its first presidential contest,
that of 1856, a majority of the farm
ers of the north and west voted the
Republican ticket. This is why it
happened that Fremont, who had vir.
tually no experience in politics, came
SO near to election that he would
have. won had he carried Pennsyl.
vania and Illinois. two states which
some of the prophets in the campaign
said would go to him, and which Lin.
coin won in 1860. The drift of the
agricultural element to the Repub.
lican side, which revealed itself when
the party was only two years old, be
came stronger shortly afterWard, and
thus a virtually solid north and west
supported Lincoln. In every national
since then when the Repub.
leans carried the country they had
the bulk of the farmers on their side.
Even in 1896. when the silver fanati
cism was at its highest, and when it
ragged with special intensity In many
western states. the Republican party
carried all of them except those in
or near the silver-producing region.
This would not be a good time for
the Republican party to do anything
which would repel any large section
Of the farmers. Under the best pos.
sible conditions for the party in 1912
Il will have no votes to spare. The
-ide was against II in 1910, and while
here may be turn In its favor in
1912, the outlook In that direction is
very dubious. II the states should go
