Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1912-04-03

Deserted by his original hackers,
but inspired by his single handed
victory in North Dakota, Senator r.
NJ. La Toilette of Wisconsin has an
nounced his determination to fight
all along the line until the last dele
gate to the republican national con-
vention is elected. ''Soft-shell pro-
gressives" is the term applied by
Senator La Toilette to Roosevelt sup
porters in the hottest personal state
ment issued since the beginning of
the present pre-convention campaign.
La Toilette is not a man to forget or
forgive an injury. He feels that he
was betrayed by Roosevelt when the
latter decided to become candidate
for the presidential nomination on
his account. He now is bent on
h initiating the Roosevelt movement
as his own cause was humiliated
when the rabid anti-Taft supporters
of his candidacy transferred their
affections to a quarter they deemed
more likely to give results. In COM
plete collapse of the Roosevelt boom,
which many now are predicting, Sem
ator La Toilette will find his keenest
delight anent the present political
Record Herald.

By reason of her diversified nat
ural resources Iowa has withstood
the disasters usually accompanying
financial panics better than some of
her sister states where the suffering
occasioned was intense. We would
not relish, however, repetition of
the days of ninety-four, ninety-five
and ninety-six; or even those of 1907.
Men of all occupations are equally
interested in any movement that has
for It's object the prevention of pan
les or which seeks to provide meth
cd Of banking that will afford relief
when a financial stringency threat
ems. Those best informed upon the
subject will solve the problem and
afford the best reforming agency. 1t
is a subject upon which every man
who values stability of business con-
ditions should become better in
formed.

No Strike i'm Iowa.

The Iowa miners won their fight
for an increase in wages and there
will be no strike. An agreement
which was reached in Cleveland by
the operators and miners, will make
the basis of settlement in Iowa.
Every mine in District Number 13
was closed on Monday and 10000
men will lay down their tools for less
than a month, during which time the
agreement will be submitted to the
referendum vote and contract for
two years will be signed. The Cleve-
land agreement will undoubtedly be
the basis of an Iowa agreement"
sad E. f. Smith, president of the
Iowa Mine Workers.

CUMMINS GETS COUNTY
Winneshiek County Republicans
Stand by Iowa Senator.
PRIMARY VOTE is NOT LARGE.
Some Townships Have Very Light
Vote, While Others Are
Thoroughly Canyassed
For Votes.

The first presidential preference
primary election to be held in Winnie
shiek county took place yesterday,
and the result is that United States
get the vote of this county in the
state convention. His staunch sup
porters in the city of Decorah and in
many of the precincts of the county
rallied to his support and worked
enthusiastically to get out the vote,
as Is shown by the result.
In the five wards of the city only
did the Taft supporters have tickets
in the field and do any work, but
here also they were outnumbered by
the Cummins strength.
Although it is apparent that Taft
has now carried Iowa by safe ma
jority, yet the friends of Senator
Cummins did not falter until the last
vote was in.
Roosevelt proved a strong candi-
date in many of the precincts, in
several of them receiving a larger
vote than Cummins.
On account of the very bad condi-
tiop of the roads and the lack of
interest in the country districts of
the county, some of them polled a
very light vote.
Following is table of the vote by
precincts:

A number of the reputable busi-
ness men of Iowa together with 9TH
ers high in education and profess
sional circles are joining in the cam
paign OF the National Citizens
League for the promotion of sound
banking system. Understanding the
necessity of monetary legislation at
this time and being favorably i'm
pressed with the objects of the
League, they are endorsing the move
ment This is the most convincing
of reasons why citizens of the state
should investigate the subject. The
aims and purposes for which the
League was organized and is working
are safe, practical and essential, and
especially so at a time like this when
the whole monetary question is on
review for the elimination of harm
ful banking methods.

Now that the North Pole has been
been tracked to its lair. there is no
longer any good reason why we
shouldn't test our seed corn-not for
the Poles, but for Iowa. These Poles
will do us about as much good as the
canals on Mars, but the 1912 corn
crop in Iowa is something the world
is looking for. We need it in our
business, says an Iowa exchange.

SAVE MILLIONS EACH YEAR.
President Will Send to Congress One
of Most Important Messages
He Has Written.

Washington, d. c., Apr. 1.-Presi-
dent Taft will send to congress this
week what he regards as one of the
most important messages he has
written this year. He will recon-
mend legislation designed to save
millions of dollars each year, con-
solidate several government bureaus
and generally make the machinery
of the government conform more
nearly with the plans drawn by the
economy and efficiency commission
appointed by him in June, 1910. 1t
will be Mr.. Taft's second economy"
message during the present year, but
in the one he wrote in January he
made no recommendations as to leg
islation. Today a draft of a long
message on the subject was consid-
cred for two hours by the cabinet
every department of the
government is concerned in the pro-
posed reforms and every member of
the presidents official family was
present at today's session.
Reforms indicated as feasible in
the presidents January message, he
said, would save the people more
than $2,000,O00 annually, but it was
said last night that other changes
worked out since then by the COM
mission would largely increase that
total.

1t is understood that the postmast-
er general, believing that rural route
carriers time is less than half occu-
pied, will recommend that city de-
livery be established in all cities and
villages from which rural routes
emanate, the carriers to perform
this additional duty before and after
covering their country routes. 1t is
said that this system will be tried
out at. number of points in Illinois,
beginning July 1st.

TAFT CARRIES IOWA
Result of County Conventions Iester-
day Give State to Taft.
WILL HAVE OVER 100 MAJORITY.
State Managers Say That Campaign
is About Over i'm Iowa, With
the President Victor.

A telephone message from the
state headquarters of the campaign
for the denomination of President
Taft brings the information that TAFT
has now carried enough counties in
the state to insure him the state in
the convention to be held at Cedar
Rapids on April oath. Yesterday the
conventions in Butler, Monona and
Clayton counties went for Taft,
which gave him more than the SO
votes needed to carry Iowa at the
close of last week In addition the
caucuses in Cedar Rapids insure Taft
Linn county, while various other
caucuses throughout the state give
him additional votes, with some tif-
teen or twenty counties yet to hear
from, several of which are claimed
tor Taft The campaign managers
say that Taft will have at least 100
majority in the state convention.
The following article'from the Des
Moines Capital of yesterday, giving
the result at the close of last week,
was set in type before the above
telephone message was received:
1T would be a most pathetic case
of mental myopia that would confess
inability to see that Iowa republicans
favor the denomination and re-elec-
tion of President Taft, says the Des
Moines Capitol
1t will require 742 votes to control
the republican state convention to be
held at Cedar Rapids "Wednesday,
April oath.
To date there are 500 delegates
either instructed or personally pledg-
ed to President Taft. He only needs
80 more votes and there are some
thing like twenty-six counties yet to
hold conventions.
So far as districts are concerned
Taft will have the delegates to the
Chicago convention from the First,
Second, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and
Ninth. This means twelve district
delegates. If the Taft forces control
the state convention, he will of
course have in addition four dele
gates at large, making total of six
teen out of lowa's twenty-siX votes
in the national convention.
In the figures given above we have
not included a single county regard
ed as doubtful The Capital has no
desire to mislead its readers. We
present the facts as they come to us
from what we regard as reliable
sources.
The simple truth is that the Taft
candidacy is growing in favor with
the voters. He is attending to his
official duties, and such part as he
is able to take in the campaign is
one which comports with the highest
conception of official dignity. He i'm
pugns no mans motives. He dis
cusses principles of government. He
INDUCES in no abuse.
Iowa, half way between New York
on the east and Colorado on the west,
is preparing to line up with both and
to help in the nomination of Presi-
dent Taft on the frs ballot when the
roll of states is called in the Chicago
convention

Each county in Iowa will this
week receive about $4,000 from the
secretary Of state as it's proportion of
the Iowa auto tax, which now ag-
gregates about $240,0O0. This money
is to be spent on the country roads
of the state, and will be a big help
in each county. 1t is paid willingly
by the auto owners, but they have a
right TO expect and insist that it be
spent judiciously.

If New York had gone for Taft
with a narrow margin, there might
be some excuse for talk about unfair
ness and fraud. But it went over
whelmingly, and with a rush. 1t
amounted TO landslide, to demon
stration of the people against dictat-
orship and third termism. The col
onel is now rushing through the
country, wildly calling for votes,
ought to take the hint and return to
Oyster Bay, to silence and to sack
cloth and ashes. 1t will profit him
nothing to continue abusing every
one who is against him, calling
fraud. He should remember that
there is dignity that should hedge
