VETS WOULD CAPTURE SUPREME COURT

In Crawford county there was circu-
lated in the primary campaign a letter
in German which gave a Est of can
didates who had the Endorsement
of the German American State League
and AL liberty loving citizens" were
requested to vote for them. For sena
tor Savage and Connolly We're pre-
ferred in opposition to Cummins and
Meredith on the republican and demo-
cratic tickets. Lee and Hamilton were
preferred to Clarke and McGinnis for
governor For lieutenant governor
Harding republican. and Sheldon,
democrat, were named.
In the non-partisan list of candi-
dates for supreme judges the German
American personal liberty loving
league placed Salinger first, Shankland
and Laid. Salinger has q reputation
as saloon attorney and railroad poll
tical manager and Shankland gave his
name to the bill which was designed
to make saloon consent easier to OBJ
tain.
The point to this circular just now is
that the vets are out to capture the
supreme court of Iowa. What are the

CONFESSIONS OF A RAILROAD MAN.

Speaking before the state bankers
association at Clinton Friday. w. c..
Brown. formerly president of the New
York Central lines. confessed that the
Iowa idea Of regulating railroads Dy
the state was right. Mr.. Brown. aav-
ing returned 10 his boyhood home in
Iowa to spend what he terms the Indian
summer OF his life. was remniscing
He pictured the prairie days of Iowa
which he knew as boy, the streaks
Of rust on which he began his railroad
career. He then told Of the big men
Iowa had produced during his time
naming General Dodge, Of Council
Bluffs, as railroad builder. Governor
kirkwood as war general Senator
Allison as a statesman and several
others.
1T was forty years ago." said Brown
that Iowa gave to the nation the
idea of the state regulating and con-
trolling the railroads which it per
mitted to perform its transportation
service and l will admit that We rail-
road men fought it. We fought it with
all the power we could command but I
must say today that We could have
fought much more worthy cause.
Iowa was right and We have all lived
to see that she was right"
There were bankers sitting before
the railroad man who still own rail-
road securities and who can be heard
almost any day complaining that the
public batting Of railroads is hurting
business but this railroad man fought
the fight Of the railroads at the head
of the line. He has laid aside his re-
sponsihilties as a railroad manager
and without bias but with a thorough,
knowledge of the facts he now saws
that he and all the rest of his kind
could have been in much better bust
ness. The railroads ought TO be regu-
lated by the public. AS soon as he
gets out Of the railroad business as
Dig man as Mr.. Brown has been

Clinton to make public the fact that
