IOWA APPOINTMENTS.

A Washington dispatch says OF the
Iowa federal appointment situation:
What will be done by the present
administration about the federal ap-
pointments now pending in Iowa The
Taft men in this state are opposed to
the federal slate recently put through
the Iowa delegation in congress. They
will oppose any effort now that the
election is over to get. the president
to make the appointments. 1t is prob
able that Taft supporters will recon-
mend to the president that he make
no changes in federal jobs in Iowa
The president will be asked either to
permit the present officers to serve
out their time and then turn the
whole matter over to the new presi-
dent. or if he make an appointment,
name the men who are already hold
ing down the jobs.
There is no good reason for making
Ia change. If the president stands by
his friends in Iowa he will not fill
these Offices with his enemies. If he
concludes to disregard the slate"
made up by Mr.. Cummins and his fol-
lowers and makes the appointments
upon his own initiative it is probable
that he will reward his old friends
like Clarke, Temple, Weaver, Tobin
and Knott h1re-appointments He
has the power now to name these men
for another term of four years each,
and political guessers say that is
what he Is most likely to do unless
Others of his friends in the state agree
on another state.
1t is believed that Senators Cum
MINIS and Kenyon and Congressman
Prouty will make an effort to get
lUrick into the United States marshal
lahap before Taft goes out of office.
but their chance seems now TO be
slim. Cummins does not stand well
with the president and Prouty is not
in much better shape To ask favors.
Kenyon gave the president some sup
port during the last campaign. IT
will, however, probably be up 10 men
like Brewer, Trewin, Carroll and 9th.
ers who openly fought for the presi-
dent, to make the recommendations
though Trewin might side in with
Kenyon TO help Urick, it is believed
that none of the other Taft leaders
would help. The same might be said

REPUBLICAN REHABILITATION.
Can the republican party come
back?
Can the differences between the
old or so-called standpat element and
the progressive faction unite in new
arrangement having for its fundamen-
tai purpose the rehabilitation OF the
party?
These are vital questions affecting
the thought of those men who have
for years been identified with the
welfare of the party as political or
ganization.
1t can be done. Will itg
1t is an old but true saying: "A
house divided against itself cannot
stand, So fell the republican party in
the last presidential campaign. A
united party can win. A factional
party cannot. What are the basic
conditions then for victorious or
ganization?
A few days ago the report was sent
out from Des Moines that Senators
Cummins and Kenyon OF Iowa. and
Governor Hadley of Missouri, propos-
ed to rehabilitate the organization.
The movement is commendable. II it
is only broad enough In its purposes
and liberal enough in its application
there is not the slightest reason why
republican success cannot emerge
from gloomy past and a vigorous
party continue the work of more than
half a century of prosperous manage
ment OF the nations business. But
the movement must be broad If 1t is to
succeed. 1t must not have limitations.
THE reorganization must embody all
factions, and all factions must yield
| until there is a concrete assembly OF
party believers. There is no good
reason why cummins and Kenyon and
Perkins and Adams and all factions
should not, for party welfare, lay
aside personal differences and reor-
ganize the party on an old-time yigor-
GUS basis, and unless it is a united
party it will not be successful one.
What's the use or the sense in organ
/ izing what without united action must
necessarily continue to be minority
