ed by the nomination of Judge Lee
for governor be accused of being con.
spirators against the party? The
movement for Judge Lee was not
started until late and would not
have beer started at all had it not
become apparent to a large number
of prominent republicans in central
Iowa who had taken trouble to in
vestigate public sentiment that the
nomination of the governor meant
defeat at the polls and the utter
route of the party in November. The
Freeman-Tribune is not questioning
the motives of the supporters of the
governor. They have right to sup
port him. But that right is no more
inherent than the right of others to
oppose his denomination. The
opinion among republicans in this
part of Iowa was practically unani-
nous that the party would be facing
defeat if the governor were made
the standard bearer. He barely pull
ed through two years ago when he
defeated E. G. Dunn, the democratic
nominee, by only 1000 majority
while the balance of the republican
ticket secured about 10000. The
defeat of the party in Iowa this year
means much to the party nationally.
The cause will be understood here
at home, but throughout the ma
ton it will be read as an endorse
ment of the democratic administra-
tion and will have much influence in
1916.

Senator Cummins has been in sc
many traces for his life that he
comes down to the score without a
tremor or fear. Even his enemies
must admire the fighting courage
and the fighting quality of the SEN
ator.

A few of the good-natured citizens
of Webster City are becoming quite
proficient in the art of circulating
nomination papers. 1t appears that
this thankless duty falls upon those
who are best prepared to do it, be-
cause the willing ones are of course
the only ones really competent for
the job. 1t is about time to do away
with the petition nonsense. There
ought to be some way devised to get
a name printed on the official ballot
without putting candidates and
their friends to SO much unnecessary
trouble.

If Gov. Clarke can defeat Judge
Lee in the republican primaries for
the nomination for governor he will
stand a better show at the polls
than he would without having a
formidable candidate against him
in the primary. There are many
republicans who are opposed to the
reelection of the governor who will
feel that if he wins in a fair fight
before the republicans of the state
he is entitled to their support at the
polls in November. But if there
was no contest at the primary they
would consider that they had not
had a chance to record their OPP
position and would consequently
feel justified in carrying such op-
position to the election. Let the
contest proceed along legitimate
lines, without bitterness, and then
let the winner have the loyal sup
port of every republican in the
state.

The thing for republicans to dc
now is to wipe out the record made
by individual republicans during the
campaign of two years ago, when
nearly four millions of the party S
voters deserted the party's standard
bearer for president. 1t will do no
good to refer contemptuously to re-
publicans who did not support Taft
in that campaign and it will do no
good to accuse the Taft supporters
of being reactionaries. Let the
party take a new start. Let it ad-
vocate constructive policies and keep
abreast of the time in legislation.
1t is right and proper to have Diff
ferences of opinion and to discuss
them. It is equally right and prop
er to have opposing candidates be-
fore the primaries. In fact, that is
desirable as it gives individuals op-
portunity to express themselves
fully and freely at the ballot box.

Col Roosevelt is having big
time in South America and is max
ing good as an explorer, but if peo-
pie think he is not keeping inform
ed upon matters at home they are
mistaken. Mr.. Roosevelt has one OF
the keenest intellects in the world
and he can grasp more in a minute
than some men can in an hour. 1t
was President Taft who said that
he had no equal in that respect,
declaring that Roosevelt could COM
prehend a perplexing situation
quicker than any man he ever knew.
1t is likely that Mr.. Roosevelt will
have something to say as soon as he
gets upon North American soil and
what he says will demonstrate that
he knows just what is going on
at home.

About the silliest thing we have
seen in connection with the candid
acy of Judge Lee for governor is the
statement of the Iowa City Republi-
can that the two senators are back
of it and that it was launched by
direction from Washington. The
Freeman Tribune knows there is not
a word Of truth in the Republican
charge. 1t knows absolutely that
neither of the senators were consult
ed in the matter. The candidacy Of
Judge Lee was urged by republicans
in this part of the state who felt
that Gov. Clarke could not win if
nominated, and nobody not in sight
all of the time was behind it. The
Republicans statement that only
friends of the senators took part in
the meeting at Fort Dodge, called
in the interest of Lee, is likewise
untrue. The published reports of
that gathering showed such men as
Judge Albrook, BENZ. Birdsall, A. H.
Barnes and others of that wing of
the party present. These three gen.
tlemen are not classed with the sup
porters of Cummins and some of
them are against Kenyon, that is
they would be against the senators
provided there were other republic
can candidates in the field. There is
nothing in the movement, nor has
there been at any stage of the game,
that needs defense or secrecy. The
might be in better bust
ness than deliberately manufacture
ing such yarns-made out of whole
cloth with the evident intention of
the public.

There is a movement in Nebraska
to reduce the salaries of legislators
to fit the financial condition of the

ever, that none of the reformers
have yet had the nerve to suggest
paying them upon the basis of what
they are actually worth.
