MONEY INFLUENCE.

St. Paul Pioneer Press: Dean
Thomas Sterling won the republi-
can senatorial nomination in South
Dakota on an expenditure OF less
than $500. Contrast that with the
100000 spent by Senator Stephen
son in securing the Endorsement OF
his party at the Wisconsin priI1ar-
les. To be sure there are approx
imately four times as many yoterssin
Wisconsin as in South Dakota. But
it is doubtful If four times as much,
or twice as much. effort and money
expended in South Dakota by Dean
Sterling would be required proper
ly to conduct campaign In Wis
consin. The territory to be covered
in the two states is much the same.
In either case it should be a ques-
ton of getting before the people In
a dignified manner the claims OF
the candidate.

SENATOR KENYON.

Knoxville Journal: Senator Ken
yon has made good in the senate. He
has made a notable record during
his first year. He is growing in
power and influence and If retained
in the senate will add luster to
Iowa's name for sending able men
to the senate. He is young in years
but old In wisdom. To meet him is
to like him. There is nothing OF
false dignity about him, no assump-
tion OF superior knowledge, just q
frank, open-minded man who be-
lieves that the public is his client
and that his best talent and thought
should be at its disposal all the
time. He is fearless without being
pugnacious, candid but. not offen-
sive, reformer but not crank.

A sTANDPAT VIEW.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
men who voted for Young are now
the ones who are, to say the least,
feeling queerly. Mr.. Young might
at least have remained with his 40
600 voters to comfort them. He
might have realized that the $780,
600 Kenyon men were not in need
Of any consultations or even congrat-
ulations. They were not mourners;
they were not looking for the COM
forter. But the 10000 were
waiting for the comforter and Mr..
Young should have stood in that ca
pacity toward them. Capt. Smith of
the Titanic went down with his
ship. J. Bruce Ismay stole seat In
a little boat, seat that belonged to
some woman, and sneaked away
from the disaster under the cover Of
the night. 1t is still customary for
a captain, even in a political cam
paign, to go down with his ship. j.

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.

In the few weeks Of Kenyon's pri-
mary campaign for the U. S. sena-
tors nomination he spent within
1876. of what Young spent in a
year, and nearly one half OF
Young's total expense was for post
age. $s,749. in a few weeks is a
pretty lively clip for a man who ad-
vertised a readiness to expel Steven
son from the senate because Of his
lavish use Of money in senatorial
campaign, and where the evidence
showed not a cent spent in corrup-
ton. This $8,749. spent in few
weeks suggests the question Of what
would it have been had he possess
ed Stephenson's wealth Eagle
Grove Eagle.
The foregoing simply proves
again that when politician is look
ing for something to growl at he
can find it. Senator Kenyon's cam
paign consumed months instead OF
only few weeks. True, the sena-
tor himself was in Iowa during the
contest but a short time, but his
headquarters at Des Moines We're
busy and the expense went on when
Mr.. Kenyon himself was in Wash
ington attending to his duties.
Moreover, it is barely possible that
Colonel Young forgot to keep ac-
curate account Of all of his expen-
ses. 1t is an easy matter for man
who is travelling around over the
state for year seeking nomina-
ton to Office to forget some of the
items incurred.
Senator Stevenson of Wisconsin
expended 100000 in his campaign
for reelection, yet the Eagle Grove
paper Is so bitter against Kenyon
that 1t would have its readers be-
lieve the Kenyon expense OF less
than $4,000 is cause for justifiable
suspicion and that it is q reflection
upon the man who questioned the
Wisconsin senators title, which was
secured by the expenditure Of more
than eleven times as much as the
Iowa senator expended.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1912-07-02

Bruce Ismay got away himself, but
how about the poor devils who
could not get away? Or, to use an-
other illustration, one more germane
to Iowa, Mr.. Young has an organ
with which he can lift himself over
the barbed wire fence and drop him
self into another pasture, but while
he is feeding in the green Of that
pasture, can he have no thoughts
Of the poor devils who are left in
the old pasture?
So far as his newspaper is con-
cerned, it seems to be an admission
that he has edited it along wrong
lines, or at least insincere lines,
and now he wants to change. But
one should always edit a paper from
his own honest and earnest convic-s
tions-and then he will not have to
flop" or even change. Men may
come and men may go, but the prin-
ciples in which he believes will con-
tinue to be operative. The right
does not change, and every man
must interpret that right for him
self. So far as politics is concerned.
Mr.. Young is mistaken when he as
sumes that the people of this state
have suddenly changed their way Of
thinking. They have not changed.
All that Mr.. Young has found out is
that the republican voters Of the
state preferred young man like
Mr.. Kenyon, with his aspirations
for the welfare of the state to an.
old man like Mr.. Young with his
traditions of Hickory Ridge and
such things

The mere fact that Mr.. Gompers
is not satisfied with the republican
platform Is not vastly alarming. Mr..
Gompers presented his ideas to both
conventions in 1908. They were re-
jected by the republican convention
and accepted by the democratic.
And in the following November the
voters gave the republican national
ticket and platform the largest pop
ular plurality ever scored in ma
tional election.-Sioux City Journal.
The Journal is not correct in its
statements. Theodore Roosevelt Sc
cured the largest popular majority
and the largest electoral majority in
1904 ever accorded a presidential
candidate. His popular majority
was 2,545,315 and his majority in
the electoral college reached 1856.
Taft's popular majority in 1908 was
1,269,S04 and his electoral majority
was 159. Neither Taft nor Roose-
welt is as strong before the people
as when the foregoing record was
made, but the recent primaries show
Roosevelt is still much stronger
than the president.

fections and confidence Of the plain

fections and confidence Of the plain
people Of this country.
Progressive republicans are con-
fronted with problem that is any
thing but pleasant. Many of them
believe the nomination of Taft was
secured by the theft of delegates,
but they do not like to desert the
party merely because thieves secur-
ed temporary control Of it. They
feel that the best way, perhaps, to
serve their country is to stick to
the party and wrest it as soon as
possible from the hands of men who
have prostituted it. Others believe
the time has come for the formation
of a new party, composed of men
who are in sympathy with progress
sive ideas as promulgated by pro-
gressive leaders, and fight for prin-
ciple regardless of former allegi-
ance. What the result will be no
man can forsee. The movement
headed by Roosevelt will fatten out
unless the rank and file respond. If
the average progressive voter gives
encouragement to the new move
ment the leaders will get in line
and it will sweep the country. At
present, however, everything is in a
chaotic condition and the men who
have been accused of being assistant
democrats are refusing to leave the
party regardless of the fact that the
old guard deliberately insisted upon
the nomination of man whom it is
generally conceded stands absolutely
no show of success at the polls. As
Mr.. Taft put it himself following
his denomination when he said in
substance: The elimination OF
Roosevelt and his followers was OF
more consequence than the success
of the party at the polls next No
vember.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1912-07-02

Iowa is regarded as neutral
ground so far as the Roosevelt new
party movement is concerned. In
California, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Ohio, New Jersey and some OF the
other strong republican states where
primaries were held and where the
colonel won by Overwhelming ma
jorties 1t is said the new movement
is developing much strength. 1t is
possible that majority of the re-
publicans who supported the colon
ell then will stand by him in his new
roll. others will be attracted and
If Roosevelt throws his towering
personality and aggressiveness into
the contest with his old time vim
and vigor he will make quite a
showing. The political opponent Of
the colonel who is trying to brush
the movement aside with wave of
the hand may find out within few
weeks that the progressive party"
is force to be reckoned with. The
country never knew such resourse-
full politician and such fearless
and dashing leader as Theodore
Roosevelt. Say what you may Of
him. Condemn him, damn him and
cuss him. You must admire his
courage and ability and admit that
he has strong grip upon the af-
