FOR YOUR CONFEDERATION.

The policies of the republican parry
have always stood for the advance
mont Of ali mankind. The present DAY
politician who is simply seeking TO &c.
himself in office should not be allowed
~ fmnose on the individual voters OF
anv party. The republican party mas
heen the author of the great BODY OF
mr. laws that have made possible tne
raa,ization Of the wonderful material
progress enjoyed by this nation.
The republican party began It's
r,or,ous career as the champion OF IN
dividual liberty. It has always stood
1or tha advancement of man-1nd1vldu-
a1iv and collectively. Under its policies
railways and highways have been con-
structed and everywhere are 10 DO
found cities, prosperous farm homes:
factories. schools, colleges ana
churches. This has been SO because
the republican party has stood ana
stands today for man individually ana
collectively. Under it's policies the IN
dividnal man has built his home, ana
reared his family in greater degree
of comfort than has been possible un-
der any government OF this earth.
Communities are simply aggregations
~ individuals and they have all pros
nared With the common growth ana
prosperity of the republic.
The republican party in 1912 is true
n its history. The platform adopted
~ the republican party says:
"The republican party is now as al
vavs party OF advancement and con-
strnctiva craftsmanship. It is prepared
~ 20 forward with the solution OF
those new questions which social.
nolitical and economic development
have brought into the forefront Of the
nations interest. 1t will strive not
onlv IN the nation but in the several
states to enact the necessary leg1sla-
finn to safeguard the public health;
III limit effectively the labor OF women
and children; to protect wage earners
engaged in dangerous occupations; 70
enact comprehensive and generous
workmen's compensation laws IN the
place Of the present wasteful ana I'M
tust system of employers liability and
in all possible ways to satisfy the just
demand Of the people for the study
and solution of the complex and con-
stantly changing problems OF social
welfare
There has never been time when
the people-when each individual
had larger hold on this government
than he has now. There has never
been a time when any citizen OF this
country could get more Individual at
tention by the government than he
can now.
In the last week two men in high
official circles have been impeached.
That shows that there is already in
effect a WY to correct official mis-
takes. On that matter the republican
platform says

down to a more specific statement
Roosevelt claimed fourteen Washing
ton, six Arizona. two California and
eight Texas delegates belonged to him.
This cut the number down to thirty.
The republican national committee, the
convention credentials committee and
finally the convention itself decided
that these delegates did not belong to
Roosevelt. Failing in the nomination
the cry Of fraud was taken up as
the slogan of the Roosevelt party.
Beaten in fair fight the loser sets
out with the evident intention of try
ing to wreck the party that refused
him nomination.
That was the grounds the Iowa con-
vention had for refusing an indorse-
ment to President Taft. If this will
strike the thinking man as a poor ex-
cuse for the individual conscience"
plank in the state platform, what will
he think of the refusal to indorse the
national platform. The national plat.
form was adopted by an affirmative
vote Of 666. This was 1875 votes more
than the majority Of the convention.
The votes of the Roosevelt delegates
in Missouri, Idaho and Illinois were
cast for the platform. Governor Had
ley and Senator Borah helped draft It..
There was a clear majority for the
platform if all the votes Roosevelt
claimed belong to him were taken out.
Yet the republicans of Iowa in their
state convention did not think an ex-
preston of national republican policies
should be given an endorsement In an
Iowa republican convention, although
nowhere In the debate was the fact
questioned that the national republi
can platform was a strong expression
of republican views that all Iowans
could subscribe to.
With no other purpose than that of
displaying malice toward President
Taft the convention repudiated the ma.
tional republican platform, in effect
cut Iowa adrift from the national re-
publican party and drew every candi-
date on the ticket in Iowa and in the
counties and townships of Iowa into
a factional fight that has no reason for
its existence whatever.

IOWA TICKET Ess.

The failure of the state convention
to indorse the nominees and platform
of the Chicago convention leaves the
Iowa ticket headless, and virtually az
! firms that the republican party In Iowa
is not affiliated with the national re-
publican party. The Iowa republicans
VINO refuse to support the candidates
and platform adopted by the national
convention are setting themselves up
as advocates Of states rights. This at
front to the national ticket and plat
form does injustice not only to the ma
Lional candidates, but to every man on
the, state, congressional, county and
township tickets.
The men who served on the resolu-
tons committee imposed on the con-
vention by returning such a report and
demonstrated their incompetence to
deal with the situation
The state convention denied an in
dorsement to President Taft because
Theodore Roosevelt, who was refused
the nomination for president by the ma
tional convention, declared he was de-
feated by fraud First Mr. Roosevelt
declared there was fraud in the seat
ing of 252 delegates to the convention.
When these contests were taken up
and it was seen that the bulk of the
charges made against the regularly
seated delegates were SO flimsy that
the national committee voted unani-
mously to throw out the contestants,
Mr.. Roosevelt admitted that he had not
acted in good faith in contesting the
majority of these seats. But making
the admission that there was no merit
whatever in It's or more of the con-
tests, Roosevelt insisted that seventy
odd delegates seated first by the ma
tionaI committee and then by the con-
vention were elected by fraud. Pinned

A census bureau report shows that
Iowa leads all the other states in the
value of all live stock. Texas is given
second The two states stood in the
same position in the census ten years
ago. Iowa leads in swine, but is Sec
ond to Texas in cattle. In dairy cows
Iowa is third, topped by New York
and Wisconsin. In horses and mules
Texas and Illinois lead Iowa. The
value of all livestock in Iowa is placed
at 1898 ,OO3,196. The value OF Iowa s
domestic animals is $3s0,201, 5S6.
Iowa poultry alone is valued at $12,-

ing right in the middle of what seems
certain to be banner crop year
should make Iowans throw out their
chests.

hston, to succeed Rev. w. Knighton

Michigan, where he commenced his
active ministry in Benzonia. His first
pastorate in the northwest was at
Cooperstown, where he remained five
years, From there he was called to

Barnes. Here during Mr.. Shaw's pas
torate a new church was built and
paid for in the dryest year the state
had known for twenty years, From
Wahpeton Mr.. Shaw became financial
secretary of Fargo college and was
largely instrumental In raising the
endowment Of the institution. When
this work was completed he was called
to Crookston, Mimi, where his special
work resulted in the church building
being reconstructed and a pipe organ
purchased.
During their residence in this city
Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw and their FAM
lily have endeared themselves to a wide
circle OF friends and their departure
from here, should it be decided upon,
will cause sincere regret to a large
number Of people.

SUSPECT FOUL
PLAY AT DRAKE

Drake News: Foul play is suspect
ed In connection with the death Of a
laborer whose nane is supposed to be
Getz. Getz was a man of between %
and 26 years of age and was employed
as waiter in one of the camps on the
new 500. u of this city. Wednesday
night he came in from camp on the
work train, intending to return to the
camp the mex morning, but about Z
o'clock the following morning his
mangled body was found OF the track
about a quarter Of a mile east Of the
depot. How he ever got out there is
a mystery. Had he been run over by
an east bound 1t would not look sus-
picious, but 1t Is hardly probable that
he would walk up he track that dis
lance to catch d west bound train
which stops at the depot. There was
only one train from the east that
night and 1t is the opinion of the
coroner that 1t was this train that
passed over his body.
Al coroner's Jury was summoned
Thursday morning and rendered d
verdict Of Cause OF death unknown
