PARTY RESPONSIBILITY.

The Review believes in party re
sponsibility in city as we'll as in coun
ty and in national affairs. But party
responsibility merely begins at the
caucus, it does not end there. Party
responsibility does not end at the cleo
ton. Party responsibility should fol
low throughout an entire administra'
ton. 1t should stand back of it's chos-
en- representatives in office, not with
criticism and pickering, but with sup
port and friendship and the best ad-
vice the party can give. The officer
should be made to feel that he is not
representing himself alone, but that
the entire party is with him, that it
is on trial as much as he is, that the
party as a whole is anxious for a
successful administration. The Off
Ger elected should be willing to take
counsel with his party and his party
should be willing to help him with the
best loyalty and advice it has in the
shop. This is our idea of party re-
sponsibility.' Experience has shown
that every man elected feels himself
under obligation to some set of men.
No man is truly independent. If he
were he would remain that way,
unique and alone and unelected. Is
it better that man should feel this
obligation to few stealthy workers
who have slated him for the place in
a secret confab, or that he should feel
that obligation towards a known polit
ical party, an organization whose
is comparatively we'll de
fined, that stands for something, that
has past and hopes to have future,
that has a record to make or to mar?
If a candidate could be truly independ-
ent that would be one thing, but no
elective officer ever was that way.
The question is, shall the officers be

THE IOWA SITUATION.

The Register and Leader gives a
summary of the convention results up
to and including March 10th. Dele.
gates have been named in 80 counties,
of these Taft has "a, Cummins s.,
Roosevelt I, while the others are di-
vided. OF the delegates selected Taft
has 1856, Cummins 1913, Roosevelt 2G.
It is conceded that Taft has carried
the First, Sixth, Eighth and Ninth dis
tricts. Cummins has carried his home
district with the aid of the big Polk
county delegation. The districts to
be heard from are the Second, Third,
Fourth, Fifth, Tenth and Eleventh.
The first four are all fighting ground.
It may be conceded that the Tenth
and Eleventh will go for Cummins as
usual, but there is evidence that they
will not be nearly SO unanimous as
heretofore and that Taft will secure
many delegates from these districts
to the state convention.
1t is true that the results SO far
are largely from the southern part OF
the state which has always been the
stronghold of stalwart republicanism.
But the fact that these counties have
faced the "favorite son. candidacy
without flinching is very favorable
omen for gains for the president in the
north half of the state. The Third,
Fourth and Fifth districts will be es.
pecially close with the odds in favor
of Taft. Our own estimate OF the re-
suit is that the Iowa delegation as
finally made up will be sixteen or
eighteen for Taft and either ten or
eight for Cummins At first it was
supposed that Cummins would sweep
the state, but that hope has gone a.
gIimmering. Many of the old-time re-
publicans who threw up their hands
when Cummins was first announced,
have gotten back into the traces and

Crawford county republicans will
soon be called upon to express their
choice as to presidential candidates.
The district convention has been
called for April 18th, and the county
convention must, OF necessity, be
called before that time. Crawford
county republicans have realized for
many years that the less friction they
had among themselves the better their
chance for ultimate success at che
polls. Thus the last county cOnven-
ton which was strongly stalwart in
sentiment left the machinery of the
party in the hands of the progressives,
satisfied that there would be no adj
vantage taken of this fact and that all
republicans would be accorded
square deal. There is no reason to
believe that this will not be done.
There is no occasion for heat or per-
sonal strife. Let us have a clean-cut
expression of opinion at the party
caucuses, let the convention carry out
the spirit of the caucus instructions
and let there be no personal grudges
to pay and no invidious comparisons
instituted among republicans. We
must remember that we will be fight
ing together after the nominations are
made and that fighting with each 9th.
err now is poor training for an assault
upon a common opponent. The Re-
view is strongly in favor of the re-
nomination of the president. We have
given many reasons for our faith in
Taft and for our belief that no other
candidate can be elected. Crawford
has not been afraid to stand alone as
the only stalwart county in the Tenth
district. This year it would have COM
pany. Calhoun has already declared
itself for Taft. Every inch of the dis
trict will be made fighting ground for
the friends of the president and there

A RESOLUTION.

The following resolution, passed by
the republican convention in Clarke
county, we'll illustrates the great pop
ular demand which has caused Roose
welt to break his oft-repeated word and
become an avowed candidate for the
"We believe President Taft is better
entitled to second term than any
man in the United states can be to a
third term"
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1912-03-13

To talk on high moral plane is
one thing. TO practice what you
preach is quite another. Roosevelt
has preached about the square deal,
but he has practiced it neither with
La Toilette, whom he cajoled into be-
ing a candidate, nor with Taft, whom
he has betrayed.

There has been attempt to place
the Review in attitude of opposition
to activity in the municipal election.
The Review is not opposed to such
activity. Anything is better than the
lethargy which has prevailed. Three
tickets are nine times better than just
one ticket. Anything which will stir
the people up to think of municipal
problems will be good thing. The
constant fighting at Des Moines is bet
ter than the somnolence OF Denison.
These controversies at least set peo-
pie to thinking. The only thing we
do not like is the sheer, utter indif-
ference which seems to characterize
cur voters. Good government is just
as important in Denison as in the
nation. The bulk Of our taxes are
spent right at home. We ought to be
in the manner in which
they are expended.
The Review hopes that the demo.
Gratis will put up ticket-the very
best one they can muster; it hopes
the republicans will do the same
thing and then let the best men win.

1t is supremely funny to watch the
antics of the Register and Leader. A
close observer can figure pretty &C
curately just where Cummins is by
reading it's columns. When the senior
senator is in Washington the editor
ial thermometer sometimes gets al
most to the freezing point. When the
Jealous correspondent wires that
Cumnlins is about to start for Iowa,

Ingham's mercurial spirits. BY the
time Cummins gets to Pittsburg the
Register and Leader is at summer
heat, when he is at Chicago it is 80

statesman lands on his native heath

ing with enthusiasm. When Cummins
returns to Washington the process is
reversed.

That One Thlna Lacking.

Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and
ardent apostle Of the modern Irish
movement, is fond Of telling the fol-
lowing real Irish story:
1T was the wedding day Of Pat and
Bridget, and they were having Q
church wedding. 1t was a grand at
fair. Pat was dressed with patent
leather shoes, white vest and flaming
tie. Bridget shone attractivelyN IN
many colors. The ceremony was over,
and the happy pair walked down the
aisle, out into the street, where .
great crowd greeted them with delight.
Once seated within the cab, Bridget
leaned over to Pat and said, in q loud
whisper, Och, Pat, If We could only
have stood on the sidewalk and watch
ed ourselves pass, wouldn't it have
been hivin'."

"You say" asked Maitland, as they
surveyed the canon, that she went

"She said she was goin' down. |

mountains an avoid the big bend. I've
got no reason to suspicion that she
didn't 90 were she said"
Nevertheless" said Maitland 1T
is barely possible that she may have
changed her mind and gone up the
canon"
"Yep. the female mind does often

other, "but w'ether she went up or
down. the only place for us to look, l

she didn't git out Of the canon, why,

take up the hunt for Enid. Maitland
might have kept them with him, but
that meant retaining a larger portion
Of the scanty supplies that had been
saved and he was compelled against
| his will to refuse their requests. Leav-
ing barely enough to subsist Maitland
and Kirkby for three or four days, or
until the return of the relief party,
the groups separated at daybreak.
