WILL Mr.. KIRKPATRICK SAY HE
is ACTING RIGHT?

The candidates of all parties should
be free and honest with the people. No
candidate should try to be elected to
an office to which he knows he is not
rightly entitled to hold, If elected.
When a man seeks to be elected to an
office to which he knows he is not en-.
titled, he is not doing right. When un-
der such conditions he asks the votes
of the men of district, he is impos.
ing on them.
No man should ask for election to
office in this country when he knows
that such an election would be in
direct violation of the constitution un.
der which he is seeking office.

tuition of the United States says: ~No
person shall be representative :
who shall not, when elected, be an in.

shall be chosen"

WHICH is BEST FOR YOUR

A vote for Roosevelt is a vote for
Wilson. 1t is Wilson and Roosevelt on
one side and Taft on the other.
If Woodrow Wilson is elected, there
will be carried into office with him a
crowd of untrfed and inexperienced
congressman, who will spill the in
dustries of this country into the Junk
pile They will be wild and uncon-
trollable in their desire to make a
change They are committed to q
tariff ripping platform. Wilson does
not know anything Of business or care
anything about It. He has never had
any business experience and is against
the laborer and the man Of foreign
birth. "a , -a.-,. s..-...9 es. TX
Roosevelt is advocating haphazard
tariff tinkering. He has never studied
business, and has always Stunned the
tariff He has never seemed to care
anything about It. He is absolutely an
unknown quantity on the tariff and
the other ideas he is advocating are
as wild as Wilson'S, and SO are those
of his speakers and lieutenants.
President Taft's position on the
tariff is the same as 1t Is on other
matters. 1t must be handled in way
that will not destroy confidence
property rights must be preserved and
labor kept employed. He wants a
scientific investigation made Of the
schedules and the duty fixed SO 1t will
keep up the wages of the workingmen
and still not be excessive.
President Taft is great construc-
tive statesman. He Is not playing to
the grandstand or to the galleries. He
takes up question that has been used
by some men as simply an issue on
which to harangue the public, and he
puts it to the test. He gets 1t settled
ana removes it as an issue. He be-
lieves in living square deal as well
as talking it. He does not preach dis
content and dissatisfaction and make
the world miserable. He goes about his
work in a cheerful and statesmanlike
way and accomplishes much without
bluff and buster. He is one OF the
greatest presidents this country ever
had. His defeat would make but little
difference to him, but it would be an
awful misfortune to the people of this
nation. ~

Remember this: That a tariff for
revenue means that the foreign manu-
facturer is invited to ship his good
into this country. The duty that he has
to pay for the privilege of being al
lowed to sell his product here is made
so small that 1t is profitable for him
to bring it here and sell it. He pays
only about half the wages that are
paid here. 50 he can afford to pay the
small tariff required and still Il sell
them cheaper than the manufacturer
in this country can. If he brings in
enough goods to produce any great
amount of revenue, then the factory
that is making the same kind of goods
in the United States has to close down.
That throws men out of work and the
hard times are on. If he does not bring
in enough goods to, produce large
revenue, then the government is out
of money. " ~ ~

LAND PRICES WILL DROP

High priced land will drop mighty
fast If the prices of farm products 60
down. High priced farm products
make high priced land, but high priced
land does not make high priced farm
products. The price Of land can go
down just as fast as the price of stock
in an improbable manufacturing in
stitution. Stock in the most expensive
ly equipped factory will not sell un.
less that factory is paying dividends.
The man who says that the price OF
farm products cannot go down because
the price Of land is 80 high, is placing
the cart before the horse. A bushel of
corn raised on land that costs $1,000
an acre will not bring any more than
a bushel of corn raised on $50 an acre
land. -.~. .s-... sf.a

lose his vote at the presidential cleo

four years ago makes no difference.

never cast his ballot before. He.must
register or he cannot vote. The gen.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
The republicans are giving united
support to their state ticket. During
the last few weeks state candidates
have been conducting vigorous cam
paigns in all parts of the state. The
gains made byfPresident Taft as the
campaign has progressed has added
an element Of strength to the entire
republican ticket. Candidates in their
addresses have made an appeal to
republicans to vote the straight re-
publican ticket from president down.
1t has been apparent that success
could not be gained while an appeal
was being made in behalf of one part
Of the ticket. Isl. a.<......s
The result will be apparent on cleo
ton day Taft will carry Iowa by q
safe majority. Republicans are con-
fident Of this. and are concentrating
their efforts now to making this ma
jority as large as possible. The re-
publican state ticket will be elected.
Iowa has taken rank in the forefront
of the states through the progressive
Legislation enacted by the republican
administrations. Where other states
have been piling up bonded indebted
ness by extravagant administrations
Of state affairs, the Iowa republican
executive and legislative officials have
been practicing economy, keeping the
expenditures within the income. To
vote against the continuance in power
of party that has so loyalty con-
served the interests of the people, Is
in effect vote of censure for honest
and economical government, vote in
favor of, turning down the officials

ed the people OF the state for I'M
