Wet and Dry Statistics

From the Year Book Of the United
States Brewers Association for 1911,
on page II of the appendix, is table
of statistics showing the number of
gallons of intoxicating liquors Of all
kinda used in each state and territory
in the United States
The statement is often made that
there is more liquor sold in dry ter
ritory than in wet territory, and in
order that the business men of this
community may have the facts as pub
lished by the United States Brewers
Association. have separated the
states into three groups as follows:
Nine prohibition states.
Fifteen local option states (where a
considerable part is dry by counties).
Twenty seven saloon states (where
all or most Of the state has saloons).
These statistics are corroborated by
the United States interstate commerce
commission. except that the commits
sion is little more favorable to the
prohibition argument In that they put
the consumption in with the prohibi-
ton states at one and one-half GAL
Ions and the rest of the states at TWEEN
ty-five gallons per capita. The brew
ers will not object to these figures GER
tainly as they are taken from their

And now what Is the opportunity?
In Iowa for six years at least. he can
be the voice Of the people in the gerat-
est house on earth.
With his party in Iowa before torn
into factions: so numerically strong
that it's strength was its weakness;
torn into factions which with almost
criminal abandonment Of public poll
cies has been very much the battle Of
personal favorites: the people, wearied
and torn by factional fights. have
turned to Senator Kenyon with I'M
animitv that surprises the nation. and
given him to lead.
With no pledges or promises Of
doubtful character to redeem, elected
by the whole people with determined
purpose to serve such people alone,
was not last Monday the dawn Of a
new political era in Iowa? Is it not
self evident that the young men OF
Iowa have accepted their honorable
political inheritance and given notice
to the state and nation that hence
forth the people shall rule, shall pro-
tect the political faith of their faith
ers: that he who fathers faction in dis
regard OF principle, shall politically
die?
We now have two senator's in their
own ways striving for same things
the rights of all. Who can estimate
the opportunity given him whom we
delight to honor under such circum-
stances? TThere remaineth yet many
things we have not dreamed OF.

Iowa would still be in the grip Of the

whether elected to office or not his
future IL certain to be like his present
and his past. He will be progressive
only when public sentiment is so over
Whelming that he can not stand
against 1t. Always when the crisis
comes and the conflict is close and
doubtful he will be found in the thick
OF 1t lighting manfully and effectively
on the wrong side.
Personal attacks on such a man
serve only to take away attention from
his political disqualifcations. He has
not in the past truly represented
Iowa; he does not now represent Iowa
nor can he in the future ever truly
represent it. neither does he properly
represent the republican party of Iowa
nor any large faction of that party.
For these reasons we believe that his
nomination would be a sad mistake
and his election If nominated more
than doubtful.
On the other hand the past history,
present associations and promise for
the future OF Kenyon are beyond fair
criticism. Both candidates are able
men, and 1t is only fair to assume that
In their personal relationship both are
good and honest men. The important
difference between them Is that Ken
yon is a conservative progressive while
Young is a reactionary conservative.

cuMMrNs FOR PRESIDENT.

rFditorial in Des Moines Capital.]
The national republican party is fac
ing the most critical situation since
the civil war. The national convention
is less than two weeks away. The con-
vention will be composed OF 1,078 dele
gates. Five hundred and forty votes
will be necessary to nominate. Those
who are apparently In closest touch
with the facts give Taft 45s votes and
Roosevelt 445 votes. Both lack some
thing like 100 votes Of having enough
to nominate. There are enough bitter
contests to require the day and night
attention Of the national committee
from now until the convention con-
venes. The result il a candidate or
factionaI feud unparalleled in bitter
ness and intensity and one which
threatens overwhelming disaster to the
party at the November election.
There is widespread and deep
seated conviction that President Taft
can not be renominated.
We believe Theodore Roosevelt ought
not to be nominated.
The Des Moines Capital used It's best
efforts In aiding the movement which
resulted in naming and instructing six
teef, Of Iowa's twenty-six delegates to
the Chicago convention for Taft. At
that time the Ohio primaries had not
been held. Few republicans then be-
lieved that the president would fail to
receive a warm Endorsement from his
home people. He did fail. and from
that hour the belief has been growing
that his nomination can not possibly
