McNamaras pleaded guilty to dynamit-

geles if the McNamaras would plead
guilty. This. he declares, has not been
done. Thereupon the movement
which has been under way for several
months, according to labor leaders
here, has come to a head.
Back of the movement are Steffens,
Fremont Older, the San Francisco
editor, and one Of the closest friends
of Governor Johnson, and z. T. Earl,
leader of Governor Johnson's party in
the southern part of the state. Sup.
porting them are the labor men in the
state.
Reports that organized labor will
send petition to Governor Johnson
were received with incredulity here
when it was rumored few days ago.
But from authoritative sources it is
learned that the petition already has
several thousand names. With the
original report then scoffed at and
now proved true, was the statement
that Governor Johnson had promised
to show "aII cIemency possible" to
the McNamaras. 1t is said the same
clemency shown Abe Ruef will be ex-
tended to the McNamaras.

For Governor of Iowa, we shall sup
port Edward G. Dunn, the democratic
candidate. There was no question in
our mind when it came to pick a man
for this office. Mr.. Dunn has already
made record in this state, and it is
one to be proud of. As a champion of
the interests of the grain growers of
Iowa and neighboring states, he has
placed himself in a position of great
strength among the agriculturists, and
they are going to reward him for his
unselfsh devotion to their cause by
electing him Governor of this common
wealth. MIR. Dunn has shown himself
friend of the laboring man, and
among the commercial travelling men
of the state he is very strong. Mr..
Dunn is well qualified for the position
of Governor. He possesses a broad,
liberal mind, is a splendid orator and
debater, and is strong advocate of
the rights of the people. Neither Mr.
Dunn nor any of his friends have ask
ed US to champion his cause. We
would like to see Mr.. Dunn made Cover
nor because we believe he would &C.
quit himself with honor in this po-
sition. Mason City Free Press.

Haugen Stays on the Fence.

Where is Gilbert N. Haugen at in
this present political mix-up?" was
asked reporter for The Times today.
OF course this was unanswerable. Just
where the great cleo statesman is sit
uated takes more than mere reporter
to discern. 1t is not expected by the
people in the Fourth district that he
will come out one way or the other.
When interviewed this spring by a
representative of this paper he refused
to say where he stood. He said, eat
this time l am not prepared to state
how stand on the presidential ques-
tion, but think Taft will get the
nomination.
In this he was correct, as later de-
velopments showed, but as yet he has
failed to state how he lines up.
There is great deal of Interest at
tached to his answering this question.
At Des Moines, where he was last
week, he was active on the outskirts
of the bull moose convention and from
this it is taken that he has moose

Support Taft or Quit Party, Cover
nor Says.

Calling upon candidates on the re-
publican state ticket and members OF
the republican state central committee
who are in sympathy with the progress
sive party and do not intend to support
the entire republican ticket to with
draw, Governor B. F.. Carroll broke
loose for the second time in successive
days and issued statement this morn
ing, severely criticising republicans
who are ''hugging the fence.
Republicans do not want third party
men upon their ticket" said the gov.
ernor, land will not support them any
more readily than progressives will
support republicans, and if there are
candidates upon our ticket who are in
sympathy with the new party and in
tend to support its candidate or candi-
dates, they ought to withdraw and let
their places be filled by men who place
party welfare above personal ambition.
''What has been said as to candi-
dates ought also to apply to commit
teemen. Such committeeman, whether
members Of the state or local commit
tees, as do not intend to earnestly work
for the support the entire republican
ticket in all fairness, ought to with
draw and give place to men who desire
the success of the entire ticket.
1.-THE purpose of the progressive par
ty is not only to defeat, but to destroy
and supplant the republican party and
to whatever extent a voter or candi-
date lends his assistance to the new
party, he is to that extent helping to
destroy the republican party.
II am anxious to see every republi-
can candidate elected, but since our
nominations were made, the new party
has sprung up and the least that could
be expected of candidates is that they
make it clear as whether they are in
sympathy with the new movement or
its originator, and if SO, they have no
moral or political right to expect the
support of republicans.
