MARSH BAILEY ALL RIGHT, OF
COURSE


Marsh W. Bailey of Washington,
Iowa, is one of the presidential cleo
tors-at-large in this state. He was
queried by telegraph by the Des
Moines Capital the other day as to
whom he would vote for for President
in case of his election. The inquiry was
wholly unnecessary. There was never
any question that Mr.. Bailey. as a
loyal Republican, would vote for Pres
ident Taft. However, he took notice
of the. Capitals inquiry and made the
following reply:
Il have never heard of an elector
who refused to vote for the candidates
for President and vice president
whose names were printed at the
top of the ticket on which he was a
candidate, and | will certainly not be
the first one to do SO. If Taft's name
is above mine on the Republican ticket
and am elected certainly will vote
for him. If Roosevelt'se name is
above mine, surely will vote for
Roosevelt No convention can absolve
me from voting fer the head of the
ticket on which am candidate The
secretary OF state will print my name
on the Republican ticket as provided
by law. Personally / will do every.
thing within <ny power for the cleo.
ton Of the whole Republican ticket
from top to bottom"
That's the kind OF Republicans we
raise in this imperial First district of
Iowa!

In the current issue of the National
Proyisioner, organ of the beef trust,
statistics are published showing that
for the first half Of this year there was
received at the six principal western
markets 100000 head Of cattle, or
100000 less than during the same per-
Tod of last year. It says that the
shortage is greater in the smaller
markets Of the east, and that not only
was there shortage in numbers, but
that the weight of the cattle received
was less than in former years, thirty
seven pounds less than the average
for last year also that prices paid for
cattle were higher than ever before
and that all of these conditions to-
gether explained the prevailing high
prices of meats at retail.

A VERY PRETTY FIGHT.

The next interesting fight sched-
uled to occur will be between T. r.
and the Chicago Tribune as to which
was instrumental in driving Lorimer
from his seat in the United States
senate. With characteristic modesty
the former said in a recent interview:
1T was my fight and it is my vic
tory. The whole thing began when
l refused to dine with him at the
Hamilton club dinner. If l had sat
quietly through that dinner there
would have been no division in the
senate committee and the whole thing
would have been dropped. made the
stand and the fight kept growing on
and on"
The fight for which T. R. claims
the credit consisted chiefly in refus-
ing to sit at the table with Lorimer In
Chicago The Tribune, on the other
hand, unearthed the testimony on
which Lorimer was convicted and
kept hammering at the matter day
after day until Lorimer was finally
ousted. If credit is due anywhere it
Is clearly due the Tribune. That Ins
Worlds Greatest Newspaper. as il
calls itself, will remain silent and per
NIT r. R. to appropriate all the credit
Is not to be expected The fight be.
tween the Tribune and 7. r. is GER
tain to be very pretty one.

ray Of light that comes to him In what
must be an hour OF gall and bitterness
gAnxthlnu 10 aeat Tar

st. Louis Globe Democrat: Accord
ing to an announcement made by Col
onel Roosevelt himself his object is
virtually to make trade with the
Democrats as well as Republicans.
This he declares in letter to one Of
MS supporters. In states where the
Republican party Is weak, and where
the conditions are favorable to trade
with the Democrats. he Is wiling to
let the element which supports him
caii themselves progressive democrats.
While ma king his principal bid for Re
publican Eotes. he also announces that
ne will Aot refuse support from the
other tide. He will aid weak Republi-
can Or weak Democratic candidates for
locM Offices in return for such votes
Is they are willing to give to him for
President. A preliminary survey Of
the field is to be undertaken by his
campaign managers in order to see
where such trades can be made most
advantageously.
Anything to beat the regular Re
publican ticket seems to be the motto
|of the new party advocates Does
Colonel Roosevelt believe that is the
right sort Of spirit to show toward the
party which gave him all the elective
and most OF the appointive posts
which he ever held How can SEN
ator Dixon, who is to be the coloneTs
campaign manager, reconcile his own
share in this conspiracy with the duty
which he owes to the party which has
given him his ONCE? He made his APP
peal to the Republicans in the two can
vases in which he was elected to the
house Of representatives, and it was
the votes Of the Republicans which
seated him. Republicans sent him to
the senate AS his term expires next
year it is probable that he will ask
Republicans this year to choose him
for another term.
IT becomes more and more plain
every day that the real intent of the
new party movement is to defeat the
Republican ticket, If possible. When
he was told, day or two ago, that an
effort would be made to try to induce
Mr.. Taft and himself to withdraw in
the interest OF Republican peace, he
declared that he will not withdraw,
but will remain In the canvass even il
he felt that he would not get single
electoral vote. This reveals the ami
mus of the whole third party move
nent, SO far as it represents the de-
sires of its leaders. Not one Of them,
from the colonel downward, believes
there is the faintest chance for it to
carry enough states to make a re-
spectacle showing In the election
tables. Its object is to draw enough
votes from Taft to elect Wilson. In
|cidentally, the chiefs of the new
party will make trades with Demo-
Gratis as well as with Republicans, but
the primary purpose is to give the cleo
ton to the Democrats. If they can.
s g e.ysthsng to beat Grant t. was the
favowed object of the Republican bolt
ers Of 1872. Although they have not
declared it openly thus far, Anything
ito beat Taft is the purpose Of the
boilers of 1912.

THE sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER.
o say, can you see. by the dawn's
early light,
What SO proudly we hailed at the
twilighr's last cleaning
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the clouds of the fight,
Der the ramparts we watched were
SO gallantly streaming.
And tho rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air.
Gave proof through the night that our
flag was still there;
o! say, does that starspangled ban
ner yet wave
Der the land of the free and the
home OF the brave?
On that shore dimly seen through the
mists OF the deep.
Where the foes naughty host IN
dread silence reposes.
What is that which the breeze. DER
the towering steep.
AS it fitfully blows, now conceals,
now discloses?
Now it catches the CLEAN OF the
mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on
the stream;
IT'S the star-spangled banner; o long
may it wave
Ger the land OF the free and the home
OF the brave!
And where is that band who so vaunt-
ingly swore
That the havoc of war and the bat
ties confusion
A home and a country should leave US
no more.
Their blood has washed out their
foul footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and
From the terror Of flight or the gloom
of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in tri-
umph shall wave
Ger the land of the free and the home
of the brave.
o. thus be it ever, when freemen
shall stand
Between their loved homes and the
wars desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the
heay'n-rescued land
Praise the power that hath made
and preserved us nation.
Then conquer we must, when our
cause it is just.
And this be our motto-"1n God is
our trust;
And the star-spangled banner in tri
umph shall wave
Ger the land of the free and the home
Of the brave.

universal failure to solve this simple
national secret sooner.

EPOCH IN WIRELESS
UNITED STATES PLANT is
OPENED AT ARLINGTON, VA.
Naval Station Flashes Its First Mes
sage Through Space-Seas VIII
No Longer Be Wilderness.

Washing ION, Oct. 29.-Last night
the navy's new wireless station at
Arlington, Va, flashed forth its first
message through space and signalized
the exploitation Of the most powerful
wireless plant in the world.
Down in the soundproof operating
room. vindowless and protected by
double doors, some of the navy's most
experienced operators, directed by
Lieutenant Woodwork, sent out the
first flashes.
The radius of the new plant will be
about three thousand miles when it is
in working order This range. proba-
bly, the acme of wireless operations,
will be attained gradually. and it may
be weeks before the big plant is
tuned up to its highest efficiency.
When the plant is working perfect
ly and the chain of stations is COM
pleted, Washington will be in touch
with Hawaii, Samoa, Guam, the Phil
ippines and Pearl Harbor. The com
pleted system will cost about 81 ,000,-
600. The seas then no longer will be
a wilderness fer the American navy.
The Arlington station marks the
most advanced step thus far taken in
the establishment of regular and
steady communication by wireless
over long distances, although the rec
ords of the army and navy depart
ments disclose many freak" mes
sages sent and received over great
spaces These, however, were eX-
changed under the most favorable
conditions and, for the most part, are
regarded as accidents"
