CHARLIE IS STILL SORE.

E
Our very dear friend, c. D. He'll
en-, is still sore at Senator Cummins.
Charlie has nursed the delusion ev-
err since he was defeated for post
master in Webster City for second
term that Cummins in some myster-
ious way was responsible for 1t and
he seldom lets an opportunity pass
without showing his dislike for the
senator. He even went so far as to
support Porter for governor against
Cummins and Judging from the fol-
lowing in the Des Moines Capital he

The republican party at the time
l laid down the pen, had become so
inoculated with traitors. impostors
and selfish hypocrites that I determ-
ined to abandon any participation
in politics except to exercise the
right of franchise, which is the du-
ty OF every good citizen.
But, like unto the old warhorse,
who shifts the smoke of battle, l
cannot resist the temptation OF ut

attention whatever 1 regard the eff
frontery of his asking to control the
Iowa delegation without parallel
in the history of Iowa politics, When
Senator Allison was a candidate for
the presidency he stood as a nation
al figure and one of the leading
statesmen OF his time.
What does Senator Cummins
stand for, and what has he ever
done that would entitle him to con-
troll the Iowa delegation to the ma
tional convention against the admin
istration of President Taft? He came
into the republican party as rail
road and Standard Oil attorney some
thirty years ago on an independent
democratic ticket, and from that
time to the present day he has been
a disturber of party harmony, dis
organizer, a hypocritical critic, a
grandstand player and the leader OF
an organization within the party
which one of his prominent follow
ers, in a noted speech at Storm Lake,
termed "the Cummins party"
That he has been opposed by the
loyal republicans of the state at ev-
cry stage of the game is but the his
tory of the contest well known to
every reader.
And what has he accomplished
during his entire career? Nothing
that will include his name in his
tory. Instead of exercising his best
efforts toward doing something for
the people of his state he has devot-
ed his energies to building up a per-
sonal machine and to furnishing re-
publicans who have failed to fall in
line and do his bidding.
No more glazing incident need be
cited than one which appeared in
his mouth -piece this morning, in
which it is announced that "Sena-
tor Cummins will oppose the confir-
nation of Ex-Governor Herrick of
Ohio as ambassador to France" be-
cause Governor Herrick had critics.
ed recent erratic speech delivered
by Insurgent La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin, and in the face Of the fact that
the same speech had been severely
criticised by the republican press of
the country and caused La Toilette
to withdraw his candidacy for presi-
dent.
"Can the leopard change his
spots?" If he can, then the repub-
licans of Iowa should support the
candidacy Of Cummins. The writer
was not in harmony with him in his
first candidacy as corporation at
torney on the democratic ticket; he
was not in harmony with him when
he opposed the reelection OF ex-|
Governor John Fl. Gear to the Unit
ed States senate; he was not with
him when he attempted to unseat
Senator Allison, the greatest states
man Iowa has produced, and he is
not with him now when seeking to-
control the Iowa delegation against
President Taft.
Sometimes lose faith in the flu
ture of the republican party and re-
call the noted editorial entitled. LET
1t Die" written in 1876 by Wilbur
F. Story, in the Chicago Times, on
the democratic party and widely
quoted in succeeding campaigns.
And yet it did not die and came
back from disorganized and cha
otto condition to the presidency.
Then comes to me the reassuring
words of President Taft uttered only
last night in Washington: "The re-
publican party is still the republican
party"
And then I recall the history Of
