HowIing About "steam Roller

fIoWiiHS AUOup aOlcdfn hOiieF.
Chicago Herald: Even the
Republican national committee is en-
titled to fair play Certainly talk OF
the steam roller" is utterly gratui-
tous and unjust apropos of unanimous
decisions in favor of Taft delegates
In the case of the Ninth Alabama dis.
trict, decided by q vote of 80 to Is,
two Taft men," Messrs. Rosewater
and Lowden, voted with the suppos.
Roosevelt men, while one stanch
Rooseveltian, Col. Cecil Lyon, of
Texas, voted with the supposed Taft
men. These facts are absolutely suf-
ficient, to any really impartial OBJ
server. to establish the absurdity of
Fridays theft, betrayal of trust, etc.
Was Colonel Lyon in the theft cor
spiracy? Really, honesty and decency
pay even in managerial comments on
contest decisions in a critical situa-
ton. Senator Dixon should not be
more royal than the king" He should
not raise hue and cry when
Roosevelt himself sees no occasion
for complaint and admits that he gets
justice from the national committee.
Denounce the steam roller when it is
brought in action, but Fridays pro-
ceedings furnished no justification
whatever for bitter cries or wild
charges of theft

Washington, according to paragraph
in a capital city letter in the Ottumwa

NOT A EAR Ally.

The Des Moines Capital, now an en-
thusiastic pro-Cummins paper, makes
bitter complaint against Colonel
Roosevelt on the ground that he is not
a fair ally. His only proposition to
the supporters of Cummins and La
Toilette is that they shall nominate
him. He never has once suggested
that there should be compromise by
which either Cummins or La Toilette
should be named. Says the Capital:
He forgets that Senators Cum
Minis and La Toilette were fighting
for the same doctrines Tor which he
now claims exclusively to stand, when
he was in Africa hunting lions. II
there is anything in the principles
represented by the three then the two
senator's deserve more credit than the
colonel. Furthermore having been
President for nearly eight years he
ought to be willing to compromise On
the senator from Iowa or the senator
from Wisconsin. But Colonel Roose-
welt Is out to make himself President.
He has but one purpose and that is
to win. He is surrounded by lot OF
millionaires. With few
exceptions his supporters are intimate
" connected with Wall street. His
other supporters are newspaper and
MAGAZINE syndicates which are sore
at Taft on the postage question
In other words the Capital SAYS that
Colonel Roosevelt is making person
al fight to win the presidency of the
United States. He is not concerned
in regard to principles except as he
can use the same to advance his per-
sonal cause.

THE NEWS OF THE WEEK,


The convention to name Republi-
United States will furnish the big
news of the week. The gathering in
Chicago-made up of representatives
from every state, as we'll as the terri
torial and insular possessions-will be
called to order Tuesday noon by Harry
S. New, chairman of the national COM
mittee. He will introduce Senator
Elihu Root of New York as temporary
chairman. In assuming the gavel DUR
ing the temporary period of the con-
vention's existence Senator Root will
make an extended speech, designed to
embody the keynote of the coming
notable campaign and proclaim the
principles and achievements of the.
Republican party during its many
years of existence. When his speech
has been concluded Senator Root will
announce the important committees,
including that on credentials, and the
convention will adjourn until such
time as the latter committee is ready
to report. There is considerable dis
cussion as to the length of the con-
vention, some of the leaders predict
ing that a week or ten days will be
necessary to conclude all the work to
come before the delegates, and others
more optimistic declaring that five
days should see the end of all deliber
ations and the departure of the con-
vention representatives for their
/ homes.

I ing in Chicago the Democrats will be

a Game Of R,,,H


Iowa City Citizen: The action of
the Republican national committee
yesterday in giving Roosevelt the
Missouri delegates-at-large and the
greater part of the full Missouri dele
cation, over the protest of the Taft
managers in that state, will do much
toward dissipating the notion that
the committee is using a steam roll
ler'' in favor of the contests This
idea has been industriously circulated
by the Roosevelt following, and Of
late the colonel and some of his lieu
tenants have been freely saying
thieves and robbery thus be-
traying fear of losing in the end
1t has been the apparent purpose
Iof the national committee to follow
the rules of procedure heretofore used
lin settling contests before the con
vention, and there is no evidence that
they have so far departed from them.
The most notable fact revealed by
the hearings is that the Roosevelt
contests were for the most part pure
huff, and were Instituted to give an
excuse for refusing to list in the Taft
column some of the delegates that
were his.
The talk Of two conventions, Of
straight boiling. of the use of force
on the convention floor, is doubtless a
part of the same game. In the end it
may all go the way of the fake con
tests that have been so quickly dis
posed Of by unanimous vote of the

stantly.

Many people suppose there is no
cure for Hay Fever and think once
one has had an attack, they must suf-
fer every summer from haying time
until frost comes. Some of the more
fortunate seek reliet in cooler cli-
mate. but thousands suffer at home
and often make their condition worse
by using strong snuffs, powders and
sprays.
There is no need of your being a
victim of this disease any longer, and
YOU don't have to run away to es-
cape it either. Just get a fifty cent
bottle of Ely's Cream Balm, place a
little in the nostrils, draw the pleas
ane. aromatic fumes back into the
head, and see how quickly you will
get relief.
1t opens up the air passages almost
instantly, stops the snezing, running
at the nose and weeping. Further
more, it doesn't simply give you tenn
porary relief, but it heals and
strengthens the sensitive membrane
lining of the nose and throat and re-
stores it to normal, healthy condition,
thus protecting you against return
of the trouble.

not satisfied after a fair trial, your
druggist will give you back every cent
you paid for it.
