Chicago Record-Herald: AS an Jude
pendent and unprecedented newspaper,
the Record-Herald is free to state
that it has not apologized, and would
not condone or apologize, for a single
unfair or raw decision of the Re-
publican national committee. Had
there been any strong-arm work, any
"steam-roller" tactics, the Recora-
Herald would have been among the
first to warn and protest in the name
of political morality as well as mere
party experiency. What are the facts?
What is the plain TRUTH
OF the eighty-four contested seats
passed on by the national committee
up to Monday evening only four pre-
sented the appearance Of merit to the
Roosevelt members" In all the 9th

The "calico Railroad /"

Mt. Pleasant Free Press: We don't
on why the old roadbed running from
Keokuk to Charlottesville in Washing
ton county, was called the calico
railroad" but j. A. Schrenier, the
old surveyor, says it was because
the men who worked in it were paid
in orders on local stores. The men
who We're trying to build it ran short
of funds and paid the men in orders
That old roadbed cost Henry county
over one hundred thousand dollars
and was never built. Some day after
the Keokuk dam is completed there
will be an electric line which will fol.
low that old survey, although 1t is
not likely that the old route will be
used, as it may not be near enough
to the towns which will have to be
taken into consideration. But an
/ electric line running from Iowa Cit
via Mt Pleasant Is a probability and
we have an idea it will be built in the
next ten years. This town by taxation
and private subscriptions spent one
hundred thousand dollars on road
which was called the Keokuk, Mt
Pleasant and Muscatine. A lot of work
! was done on that road, too, and it new
err got anywhere. AS we understand
Schrenier, the panic of 1857 knocked
that out, although it may have been
the Calico railroad which was killec

BALLOT WINS FAVOR.

There seems to be little doubt that
the sentiment in Iowa in favor of
substituting the secret ballot for the
present method of circulating petit
tons of consent to decide whether a
county shall be wet" or dry" is
growing.
The opinion of the people in regard
to this matter is reflected in the news
papers throughout the state. A large
majority of the papers, including
some of the big dailies, have come out
openly in favor of the ballot. Says
the Sioux City News:
IF people were compelled to sign
the petition in order to get the man
they want in Office, there would i'm
mediately be a protest from the Mis-
souri, to the Mississippi, and from
Minnesota to Missouri. The same
protest is gaining ground as to our
question, and it is time the voice OF
the people is heard
The Tribune, the evening edition of
the Des Moines Register and Leader
says editorially. 1t must be plain
( to everybody that the petition, as a
means of securing an expression OF
II the public opinion is failure The
i Register and Leader itself says: 1--WE
are more than ever convinced that tins
4 Australian secret ballot has not YET
4 been improved upon" The Cedar
Rapids Republican says: 1T is better
4 to go to the secret ballot, as under the
present system men are given nj
piece of mind" and again it says "the
4 secret ballot will not help one side
more than another but men could ex
press their honest opinions The
4 Cedar Rapids Gazette recently came
out with the statement that it hope:
! the next. general assembly will have
sumption enough to abolish the peti
ton of consent and substitute thi
secret ballot" and again it seems tt
have been demonstrated that the wa,
to settle the question of saloons O.
mo saloons is by the ballot instead o
the petition The Dubuque and For
Dodge dailies have made similar state
ments besides a large number of III,
smaller papers In the state.

Moist with the kiss of the lips they

Scared by the desperate clutch of the

THE ANlmus OF THE CONTESTS.

In the Washington Times, owned
by Mr.. Frank A. Munsey, a close
friend and adviser of Theodore Roose-
welt, there appeared in a special dis
patch in last Sundays issue, the fol
lowing explanation of Theodore Roose-
velt's southern contests:
For psychological effect, as a move
in practical politics. it was necessary
for the Roosevelt people to start con-
test on these early Taft selections in
order that a tabulation of delegate
show Roosevelt holding a good hand
in the game. A table showing, Taft
$50: Roosevelt 10; contested. none,
would not be very much calculated to
inspires confidence. Whereas one
showing, Taft %; Roosevelt, 19: con-
tested, 1877 looked very different.
THAT is the whole Story of the
larger number of Southern contests
that We're started early in the game.
1t was never expected that they would
be taken very seriously; they served
useful purpose. and now the ma
tional committee Is deciding them in
favor of Taft in most cases, without
real division"
Doubtless this plain statement of
the facts in the case will be resented
by the Roosevelt managers, but they
dare not deny that the reasons stated
| for the flimsy contests that We're
started are the correct ones. The
purpose was to arouse enthusiasm for
/ Roosevelt in the states that We're az
! the time holding their primaries. The
Cedar Rapids Republican pointedly
and truthfully says in an article on
the subject
The flimsy nature of the contests
is daily being brought out in the com
mittee meetings. In most Of the cases
the Roosevelt men on the national
committee are voting with the Taft
men in seating the Taft delegates, for
the reason that there is no sufficient
ground, or even excuse for voting 9th
erwise. AS honest men the Roose-
Welt members admit they could not
vote against the Taft delegates.
What shall be said of the morals
of such an admitted attempt to preju-
/ dice public sentiment? How can
i Roosevelt consent to be the benefi-
] ciarv of such contests, in the way of
public sentiment?
/ And what shall be said of Roose,
velt's action now in crying outrage
every time contest is decided in ia
vor of Taft, when it is admitted that
the contests were not honestly found
ed or brought? The whole thing
really passes moral comprehension. 1t
is the lowest stage ever reached in
our politics and the stage has never
been too high.
THE whole Roosevelt movement in
4 Chicago now has resolved itself into
an effort to scare, intimdate and
stampede and it is for that purpose
that Roosevelt is to be brought here.
1T is being arranged for crowds and
mobs. no matter how composed, to
follow him through the streets. The
populace is to be appealed to and to

Roosevelt VIII Bolt.

Washington Democrat: Roosevelt
has all his plans made to be nominal
ed at Chicago. He Is just as sure TO
bolt as the southern Democrats were
at Charleston, in 1860 when Douglas
was nominated Perhaps the conven
ton he bolted was held at Baltimore
but no odds, the south bolted and the
result was the election of Lincoln.
History is about to repeat itself. Taft
will be renominated and Roosevelt
will lead bolt
We know how danger Gus it is to
make predictions, but this prophecy
we may make with perfect safety, for
we see it coming as surely as any
thing in the future can be.
Taft has the machinery in Chicago
and as far as we know, he has the
votes. There has been a wave of
hysteria going over the country and
the people seem to be Roosevelt
crazy, but they will come to their
senses in time. Meanwhile, Taft will
be nominated Already, as this is
written, the temporary organization
is conceded to him, after bitter fight
and nothing Roosevelt can do will
change it. He may rant and he may
yell liar, brigands, thieves or any 9th
er vile thing, Taft has the votes.
And why should Roosevelt be the
Republican nominee? There was just
as strong movement for Grant and
he was really worthy man. He was
one of the greatest generals the world
ever saw. He had whipped the brav-
est army under General Lee, the
ablest general next to Grant the
world had seen, and yet, with all
could not land the nomination, but
this situation was not of Grants
seeking. Grant was always the VIC
tim of fool political friends and he
simply drifted. There is no strong
er demand for Roosevelt than for
Grant and Roosevelt is not half the
nan Grant was
But Roosevelt will run on a bolt
er's ticket and then the Democrats
will march into the promised land
and not only may be allowed to view
I it from afar as Moses did, but they
| will be allowed to go in and reap the
rewards. And there will be a great
i dag.

he addressed the Lord in prayer.
On one occasion he had been preach.

several young fellows on hand who
