people ut the same time that he Was

for personal promotion. Tho Trainers
Of the contributes were right"
The Pomsroy Herald says 1T viii
take some Of the sand out Of the Lee
boosters In Fort Dodge to have the
Messenger come out 20 positively In
sport Of Clarke"
Judge Lee and his friends are being
cmopellsd to put in most of their time
in an attempt to prove that the judge
IL really eligible under the law to the
office Of governor" notes the Rock
we'll City Advocate. In the meantime
George w. Clarke Is steadily growing
in favor, the general public is settling
down to the fact that Iowa has gov
ernor of which to be proud and one en-
titled to q second term
There is no good reason why Clarke
should not have another term" says
the Traer Star Clipper. He Is good
executive. He has proven his ability.
His honesty is not questioned. He Is
accused Of some things like increasing
taxes, which he Is no more glamab1e
for than the democrats Of the legisla-
ture. When the people fully under
stand the facts we do not believe he
will suffer unjustly. We look for Mr..
Clarke to defeat both opponents by
very large vote. He should do 1t. Ho
should not have this opposition to
meet"
mo man of the United States, per-
haps no man of Mexico. Is to blame for
this war" says the Boone News Re-
publican. 1T is the clash of well or
dered civilization and red handed brig
andagc. The two can not survive on
the same continent"
The wicked thing about Lees can

rights Of Clarke says the Vinton
Eagle. Admitting for the sake of the
argument that Clarke was in trouble,
it would have looked better, occupying
the position he does, to have offered
first aid rather than to have con-
sented to run the knife deeper into the
wound. Lee draws condemnation
rather than commentator to his &C
ton. Personal selifshness shouldn't
entirely control ones action. He should
not have replied to the pleadings OF
Robert Healey-Get thee behind me.
The Fairfield Ledger says, THE
great trouble with Judge Lee Is that
he comes from a locality which Is the
home of demand for public funds and
that his election might mean only the
transfer of the dollars from one fund
to another. And, then, Judge Lee Is
getting into the game at rather late
stage
Express rates must be getting very
cheap IN Fort Dodge. AL any rate the
Messenger recently expressed political
opinion" sarcastically remarks the
Webster City Freeman Tribune.
To the Iowa Falls Citizen there is
nothing so ridiculous as political bed
fellows sometimes. Senator Savage, Of
Adair. would like to defeat Senator
| Cummins for denomination and Bert
kelz is reported to be one of his prin-
cipal sponsors. There was a time
when Kelz, from the standpat view
| Now he is promoting the candidacy OF
! a standpatter against Cummins, for
whom he originally labored.'
State Senator tsavage. of Adair, has
announced candidacy against Sena-
tor Cummins for the republican nomi-
nation for United States senator. This
entitled him to have his name in the
papers, and We conclude that is about
all he expects. says the Scranton
Journal. He is a banker at Adair
who never accomplished anything
