Roosevelt says the question of
damage to the national ticket should
not be considered when determining
whether or not state ticket should
be placed in the field The only
thing that should be considered is
principle.

Judge Kenyon may have made
some enemies by taking a courage
GUS stand on the presidential situa-
ton, but he retained his self-respect
and the respect of self-respecting
men. That is worth more than Of
flee. But the people are the ones
who will lose if Judge Kenyon is de-
fcated.

1t is predicted by well informed
politicians that Judge Stevens, pro-
gressive candidate for governor, will
not receive twenty-five per cent Of
the Roosevelt vote. Nearly all Of
Roosevelt's friends in Iowa voted at
the primaries and they are honor
able enough to stand by the ticket
they nominated.

/. Democrats in Iowa are especially
pleased at the action of the progress
siye party in putting state ticket
in the field. They believe it means
the election of Dunn. That, of
course, will be the result If progress
sives generally vote for the third
state ticket, but the Freeman-Trib-
une believes the large majority of
them will support the ticket they
nominated at the June primaries.

It is very evident that President
Taft has the sympathy Of democratic
leaders in the present campaign.
They are defending the president
and attacking Roosevelt.

The progressives of Iowa will not
support Taft for president because
he was not fairly nominated. They
will not support Clarke for governor
because he was fairly nominated.

Geo. w. Clarke was nominated for
governor OF Iowa at statewide pri-
mary. He is Just as good a pro-
gressive as Judge Stevens. and as
the Freeman-Tribune believes in the
primary method of nomination it
will support Mr.. Clarke and hopes
every other progressive who is OPP
posed to nominations by boss-ridden
conventions will do likewise.

who denounced Judge Conner a few
years ago for not taking active sides
in the Cummins- Allison senatorial
contest. Mr. Woods was playing the
demagogue then or he is playing the
demagogue now Which is it, Frank?
The opponents of Col. Roosevelt
who try to discredit his ability do
not succeed very WE'LL. That Roose-
welt is one of the clearest thinkers
and strongest minded men of his
day there can be no doubt. Henry
lWatterson did not go far from the
mark when he said a few months
ago that Roosevelt has the most ac-
tive mind the world has seen since
Napoleon. 1t may furnish some
amusement to smaller men to try to
belittle the colonel's ability, but the
people know, whatever may be his
failings, ignorance is pot one of
them.
Publishers of newspapers some
times run up against peculiar prop

when the same paper accepts adver-
Using for Chicago or Des Moines
houses the dealers who declare "ad-

Their logic seems strange. Notwith-
standing they believe money expend-
ed for advertising is wasted they do
not think the local paper should per-
NIT their outside competitors to
waste money.

It is a noticeable fact that the pa
pers in Iowa that are supporting
Roosevelt do not warm up TO the
support OF the progressive state
ticket. 1t is freely predicted that
Judge Stevens, candidate for COVER
nor, will not get 25 per cent of the
vote cast for Roosevelt. 1t will serve
him right, too. The Judge is a good
man and would make good COVER
nor, but the people owe allegiance
to the men nominated at the state
wide primary. Iowa has turned her
back upon convention nominations.
Now that the progressive state
convention is thing of the past
perhaps Hon. Frank p. Woods can
muster up enough courage to tell
where he is at The Freeman-Trib-
une Is not among those who would
punish Mr.. Woods because of the
way he uses his personal vote. but

1t is fact that democratic mem
bers of congress were alarmed be-
cause of the Roosevelt sentiment in
the south. They will make siren
uous efforts to put on the lid but
they are not at all certain that they
can succeed. Many southern men
believe that a breaking down of old
factional and sectional lines would
materially aid their section and they
are ripe for political revolt. 1t may
be just Roosevelt's luck to get in on
the crest of this wave rushing to-
ward the shores Of a new deal.
