ground that it will lessen the respect

IOWA CANDIDATES.

Council Bluffs: Iowa progressives
and standpatters have been
engaged in primary con-
test to make nominations for
state and local Offices and each side
won a fair proportion of the places
and won them fairly. These candi-
dates are now entitled to number
of considerations: ID AS citizens
they are entitled to the right OF
franchise and the right to use it as
they deem best for the public veal.
Their Judgment as to how they
shall cast their own ballots should
In no wise affect their standing OF
right as candidates and party nomi-
nees. CD AS party nominees. fair
ly nominated, the candidates Of the
republican party in Iowa, state and
local, have moral right to the sup
port of all men who participated In
that primary or who count them
selves republicans. ca No candi-
date should be ground between the
millstones of a factional division
nor should he be required to line up
and become militant opponent OF
men on whom he must rely for
votes to elect him to the Office for
which he was fairly nominated.
In other words, the republican
candidates, local and state, in Iowa,
are children of standpat and pro-
gressive parents, born with good
deal of travail, and in the bonds OF
holy wedlock. The parents are not
entitled to enforcement until their
obligations to the children are fully
discharged. 1t is not a just princi-
pie of law or morals that children
shall be sacrificed when parents
quarrel. Nor should they be requir-
ed to join the father in excommuni-
eating the mother from the home or

Tribune's criticism was justified at
the time it was made. The COVER
nor was dealing in deception, which
is called by an uglier name in some
classes of society.
Even the Manchester Press pre-
tends to believe that Roosevelt
could have nominated Hadley. Cum
minis or some other progressive re-
publican at the Chicago convention.
Roosevelt lacked sc votes of having
majority while the opposing can
didates had that many to spare. The
claim of Gov Hadley that the Taft
contingent was ready to seat the
Roosevelt delegates from Arizona,
Texas, Washington and California
| If Roosevelt would withdraw Is very
gauzy, to say the least. Had Roose-
Welt withdrawn the forty-eight dele
gates instructed for him, but who
were at heart for Taft, would have
been at liberty to go to Taft, hence
Taft would have gained more by get
ting the withdrawal Of Roosevelt
than he gained by unseating the
Roosevelt delegates from the states
named. It was only trap to catch
Roosevelt and 1t was a dishonest
trap at that. If the Roosevelt dele
gates from these states were en-
titled to seats they should have been
seated regardless of what Roosevelt
did. The fact that proposition
was made to seat them is ample evil
dence of the dishonesty of the men
| who made it. If the Taft crowd had
wanted to nominate third candi-
date they had the votes to do 1t,
Gov. Hadley or anybody else to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
Woodrow Wilson IS confronted by
a situation, not a theory. He is
generally regarded as a progressive
democrat It is UP to him to dem
onstrate in the campaign that he
wants to be elected as progressive,
but he doesn't seem to be taking the
right course to do it. He is already
flirting with the Ryans, the Under
woods, the Taggarts and the
Murphys in the democratic party. He
now wants harmony. He wants the
support of Tammany and all pie
seekers, regardless of the company he
finds himself in. If Mr.. Wilson wins
the election through the support OF
this class in what position will he
be when installed in office? Few
men are big enough and strong
enough to resist the Establishments
Of the reactionary element in either
party. Taft couldn't do 1t. Can
Wilson? Roosevelt did. He was
the boss of his administration and
Influenced congress by letting the
people know just what was going
on. Mr.. Wilson cannot have a sue
cessful administration by trying to
harmonic the discordant elements
in his party. He must take one or
the other course and stick to the
route mapped out. Any other pro-
cedure will bring annoyance, invite
unnecessary obstruction and end in
disappointment If not absolute fail
ure.

POLITICAL HONOR.

Sioux City Tribune: It is argued
that because Roosevelt carried the
state at large (California) he was
entitled to the votes of all the dele
gates from the state including those
from the various districts and that
inasmuch as the two delegates re-
ferred to were seated for Taft they
were stolen Gov. Carroll.
The governor in this, as in every
other argument he makes, is dis
ingenious. He suppresses the i'm
portant fact that before the voters
of California expressed themselves
at the polls they had the written
agreement of President Taft to abide
by the result of that expression and
to submit to the law of the state in
good faith.
AS in other things, the bosses re-
fused to pay any attention to Presi-
dent Taft's wishes or his written
agreement or his honor. They simp-
ly swept aside the whole work OF
the people of California and the
written acceptance of that law by
President Taft. They wanted the
votes and they intended to make a
precedent which will enable them
to hold the same advantage four
years from now that they held this
year. They wanted to preserve
what Mr.. Carroll now says they
have, the power to Exclude a state
from sitting in its councils" when
ever their interests dictate that
course. And the governor approves
this cavalier treatment of the pres
ident. What is a president or his
honor when you need convention?
