elected. Suppose, for instance, 1907
600 democrats and 10000 republi-
cans vote on election day. Unless
some concerted action is taken it is
likely that the republican vote will
be almost equally divided among the
six candidates. AS three judges are
to be elected each republican can
vote for three. Thus each of the
six candidates will receive approx
mately $4,000 republican votes and
if Mr.. Thomas gets anywhere near
the united democratic vote he will
get more votes than any two of the
other candidates combined. The
scheme" to elect Mr.. Thomas is
we'll laid and unless republicans find
some way to bunch their votes for
republican candidates Mr.. Thomas
is as sure of election as Woodrow
Wilson was in 1912, and that was

in good spirits the Belgians were
partly exhausted, having fought for
fifty hours without rest.
Some of the wounded Belgians,
eye witnesses Of the fighting, say
they saw Germans moved down by
hundreds in front of the trenches
and entanglements by the gun and
rifle fire of the Belgians but that
they were replaced by others who
crawled forward like weasels. In
certain places in the fighting zone
the ground was covered with dead,
the burial of which, it was said,
would take at least week.

A. MEAN CANDIDATE.

Hon. John T. Hamilton of Cedar
Rapids, democratic candidate for
governor of Iowa, is saying some
awfully mean things and is putting
republicans on the defensive all over
the state. Mr.. Hamilton ought to
be more considerate of ones feel
ings. When the truth cannot be
spoken without treading upon the
corns of half the people of the state
why wouldn't it be a good idea to
remain silent? But Mr.. Hamilton
seems to have no intention of doing
that and ruthlessly fires away as
follows:
Turning to Ohio for an example,
it is pleasant to learn that new
governor and new administration
have called tn Legislative into ex-
ira session and have reduced the
state levy by one-half which will
mean 100000 less taxes for the
state.
This same thing can be done in
Iowa where a sane and economical
administration Of state affairs can
mean great saving to the taxpay-
ers who have been burdened by ex-
travagant and extraordinary expen-
ditures under the present admins
tration. We should have this kind
of an administration in Iowa and it
would be an invitation to "come to-
rather than to Ego from" Iowa as
the trend is now.
Nothing will do more to make a
"greater Iowa" than a reduction in
taxation and business administra-
ton of state affairs.
But Mr.. Hamilton seems to for
get that Gov. Clarke has promised
economy if reelected and it is only
fair to presume that he will find
some way to reduce taxation during
his next term. Moreover, the people
of Iowa endorsed the present high
rate of taxation at the primary last
June and if Gov. Clarke reduces it
next year, as promised, the people
ought to be satisfied.
