Lac AYETTE YOUNG

Clarinda Journal: The Republicans
OF Iowa will next Monday have an op-
portunity to select as their nominee
for United States senator Colonel La
fayette Young, who is in all respects
deserving of the honor and fitted to
discharge its duties. He proved his
capacity for the position when he held
the five months temporary term as
the successor of the late Senator Dol
liver.
During Colonel Young's senatorial
experience in Washington two of the
most important public matters in
years were before the upper branch
of congress Canadian reciprocity and
the Lorimer question With the ma
tive honesty Of the Iowa prairies in
his heart Senator Young regarded
Senator Lorimer as occupying a pur-
chased seat to which he was not en-
titled. Senator Young thus at the
right moment gave his emphatic
stamp of condemnation on corruption
in politics and for the purity-the in
tegrfty-the honor of the senate. Col
sonel Young was in the senate but a
short time. yet set an example that
promises in all probability to be fol-
lowed by the majority on the next
Lorimer ballot. Colonel Young, also,
has been scrupulously particular in
making his own campaign Involved
in one of the greatest and most i'm
portant senatorial contests in this
country he has all along conducted
his campaign with that scrupulous
honesty which has kept his candidacy
from the slightest suspicion Of cor
ruption. 1t is worth much to Iowa to
have ability and morality go together.
With Lafayette Young these two quail
tiles have always been linked togeth-
er.

1t seems that all waters have more

salts clog UP the boiler very quickly
and make 1t necessary to have the
boiler blown OF" frequently, and now
and then even taken out Of service

The other great question which at
tracted Colonel Young's attention IN
the senate Canadian reciprocity-he
saw through Instantly. He knew if the
United States entered into the propos.
ed trade relations with Canada, this
country would suffer great financial
injury, agriculture and manufacture
would suffer, the farming region OF
Iowa would be covered with depres-
sion as growing field with blight. So
in the senate Colonel Young raised
his eloquent voice in a masterpiece
against Canadian reciprocity. His I'M
answerable arguments attracted ma
tional attention and gave Iowa the
forcible representation its great farm
ing and other interests deserved.
These incidents in the senatorial
career of Colonel Young illustrate
what could be expected Of him
throughout full six year term
While many acts of his in the Unit.
ed States senate could be given to
amplify the reasons why he should be
nominated next Monday it seems un-
necessary at this time to enter into
many details, all of which simply
serve to reach the same conclusion
and prove his complete worthiness
for the high position.
Few men are SO admirably adapted
for senatorship as he. none are
more SO. He is full grown for the
place to start with equipped for any
duty or emergency that could arise.
He has the thought and the speech,
the sledge hammer and the diplo-
macy. strong body and sound
mind. And withal. he is gentle and
kindly and courteous. He is ones
fellow man and brother. True -sena-
torial material. Let Iowa Republicans
stand by him next Monday.

This is less a mans world than it

CLARKE WILL WIN.

The indications are that George w.
Clarke will be nominated for governor
by Iowa Republicans tomorrow. The
Cedar Rapids Gazette, an independ-
ent paper, anticipates that he may
have nearly as many votes as Holden
and Proudfoot combined In further
discussion of the situation the Ga
zette says:
Holden will not poll great strength,
except in a few counties in southern
Iowa. His support will not be gener-
al enough to make him factor in the
race Proudfoot is a clean, able man,
but this is George w. Clarke's year.
As for Holden, we do not believe his
Clarke's showing. The former Ames
man has considerable support in some
of the rural districts, but the counties
which he will carry are few and far
between. The showing each of the
candidates makes depends upon the
size of the total vote, but with an aver.
age vote in each county, Clarke will
be an easy winner"
A strong point in Mr.. Clarke's favor
is the fact that Republicans In all
parts OF the state are acquainted with
the fine record he has made for him
self in both the house and senate. 1t
is that of a capable. conscientious
legislator and stamps him as man
well qualified and worthy to be gov
ernor. As presiding officer of those
bodies he was courteous, fair and
considerate. He viewed public mat
tiers broadly and not through a pin
hole. The Gate City has no hesitancy
in predicting that Mr.. Clarke will be
one of the ablest and most popular in
the long line of Iowa governors.
