IOWA AND THE THIRD PARTY
MOVEMENTS.

line of investigation which Is be-
Ing carried on under the auspices of
the State Historical Society of Iowa
by Professor Fred E. Haynes of
Morningside College is especially time
ly in view of the appearance of new
political party in the present presi-
Dental campaign. Professor Haynes
is gathering material for a history of
the so-called third party movements
in Iowa and is bringing to light much
interesting information concerning
the support given by the people of
Iowa to the minor political parties
which have been organized from time
to time during the past fifty or sixty
years. OF these third parties the two
which have attracted the largest num-
Der Of voters in Iowa are the Green
back party and the populist party, or
peoples party as 1t was first called.
The comparatively large support Civ
en- to these parties was no doubt due.
at least in part, to the fact that the
late General James B. Weaver of
Iowa was the Greenback candidate for
President in 1880, while in 1892 he
was a candidate for the same office
on the peoples ticket. In the latter
General Weaver received
not only the largest popular vote but
also the largest electoral vote ever
given to third party candidate for
the presidency.

ACCIDENTS AND THE NEWsPA-
PERS

The Gate City is interrogated al
most every day why accidents oc-
curing on the water power some of
them said to have fatal termination
fail to find their way into the news
columns of this paper, and the insinu-
alton is that through some arrange
ment or influence The Gate City is
suppressing publicity, These inquir-
les and accusations have become so
frequent that some attention must be
given them.
The attitude of the Mississippi Riv-
er Power Co. toward the press has
been and is of the most friendly and
open nature. Not only news features
but reports of all accidents are sup
Piled the daily newspapers and there
has never been any attempt or inclin-
alton, as we find after a thorough In
|yestigation, to pursue secretive pol
icy. 1t. is this frank and sensible
procedure that has maintained all
ialong friendly relationship between
company and community.
All of the above applies to the Mis-
sissippi River Power Co. and its local
officiary.
The following applies to the Stone
& Webster company and Is direct
negative of the mississippi River
Power Co. policy:
The Stone & Webster officials are
pursuing plan of suppression and
decline to report accidents to the
newspapers and have informed a rep
resentative of this paper that they do
not wish to have any publicity and re-
fuse to give information concerning
them. 1t is this kind of a policy that
arouses antagonism against corpora
lions, often producing drastic legisla-
ton. No corporation is greater than
It's creator-the people-and should
be conscious of public relationship.
Two different organizations are now
operating in the construction of the
power plant and the Stone & Webster
part is keeping from the press reports
LOT accidents to workmen. The Stone
d Webster people can pursue that sort
of policy If they want to but they
can also take the responsibility for
lit. This paper refuses to continue to
rest under the impression that it is
a party to such suppression. Hence
this statement.
