BLUFF NOT EXPLANATION.

Last week we published the taxes
of 1912 and 1913 for Douglas town
ship and one-half of Madison. It
showed how the republican officers
of the state and Madison county had
levied tax in 1913, sc per cent
greater for state taxes than they were
in 1912.
Governor Clarke, when he came
talked two full hours on taxes. But
he did not dare take this concrete
example of taxes The News had
spread before him, and explain to
the people present, who could have
plainly understood it, why the state
raised the assment but did not
reduce the levy. He sobbed when he
said that Iowa men should take
pride in their state and intimated that
we were all unpatriotic if we refused
to be taxed without complaining. But
nowhere would he get right down to
brass tacks.-Winterset News.

ECHOES FROM MAINE ELECTION.

No president ever received finer
Endorsement than the Maine result
gives Woodrow Wilson, The repub-
licans have based their whole cam
paign on the theory that the country
is ready to repudiate the president.
1t is the keynote of all republican
argument. That it will fail utterly
as campaign issue is demonstrated
by the result.-Hartford Post.
The democrats can pride them
selves upon having held their own,
which the country has been told over
and over again they would be unable
to do this year. If the Wilson ad-
ministration is deprived of the joy
of having it's congressional backing
in Maine increased, it can find COM
fort in the knowledge that the pre-
dicted Waterloo has not materialized.
New Haven Journal-Courier.
Coming from a state in which the
republican policy of protection
should, if anywhere, strengthen
greatly the republican cause the fig
ures must be regarded as showing
that the asserted weakness of the
Wilson administration is a republi-
can hope rather than fact.-New
York Evening, Mail.
The administration and the demo-
cratic majority in congress should be
cheered and comforted greatly by the
result of the election in the only
state voting before November The
president in particular is warranted
in regarding the democratic victory
as direct vote of confidence.

Mr.. Taxpayer, when you go to vote
member that M. F. Thompson, the
democratic candidate for represen"
tative was member of the last legis-
lature, and he voted right on every
occasion. He cast his vote against
the iniquitous capitol extension
fraud, believing that the matter
should have been submitted to the
voters of the state before several mil
lion dollars of their money was ex-
pended. He is the only member of
the last legislature with the record
of being present during the entire
session when vote was taken on any
legislative matters. He was right on
the job, working in the interest of
the people of Decatur county from
the time the session opened until it
finally adjourned He does not claim
to be great orator and did not take
up valuable time with fiowery
speeches, but he was busy with his
pencil and brain figuring and think
ing what was best for the people he
represented That is the kind Of
man who should be sent to the legis-
lature. He is in favor of an economi-
cal administration of the business
affairs of the state, and is opposed to
the rapid increase in the taxes which
are being saddled on the taxpayers
of the state by an extravagant adj
Just think this mat
ter over. Examine your tax receipt
and see how your taxes are getting
higher and higher, and then if you
are wise you will vote to return Mr..
Thompson to a second term in the
legislature, and have him look after
your interests.

Senator Cummins' ambition, as
everybody knows, is to be President
of the United States Knowing full
we'll he could have no hope of being
president unless popular faith in Mr..
Wilson was destroyed, he LAS as
sailed and opposed the President at
son down and r:ise himself en- the
ruins. Yet, pursuing this purely
selfish course, AID m;susing the pow
er vested in him as senator by the
people of Iowa, he has tho effrontery
to ask for reelection to the Senate
in order that he may continue there
to sacrifice the interests of Iowa and
the nation to his selfish ambition!

ELECTING SENATOR'S BY POPU.
LAR VOTE.

Thirty-four United States Senators
will be elected by popular vote this
fall. The terms of sixteen Democratic
and sixteen Republican Senators now
serving will expire March 3, 1915,
and two vacancies are to be filled
where Senators now hold by appoint
ment.
Even though the elections should
reveal no marked shift d political
strength, there will be number OF
notable changes in the makeup of
the Senate, especially on the Repub-
lican side. Neither Senator Root of
New York nor Senator Burton of
Ohio, two of the ablest members of
the present minority, have sought
reelection. Senator Perkins of Cali
fornia, who is serving. his third term,
will drop out next spring, and also
Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin.
Senator Bristow of Kansas and SEN
ator Crawford of South Dakota have
been beaten at the primaries by other
candidates for the Republican nomi-
nation.
On the Democratic side the election
of Representative Underwood to sue

was elected last spring to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Senator
Johnston, is assured, in Louisiana,
Representative Broussard has been
nominated by the Democrats to sue
coed Senator Thornton. In every
other case where Democratic Sena-
tor. now represents the State he has
been renominated by his party.
In practically all the states-ex-
cept the south-where United States
Senators are to be elected, the pro-
gressives have entered the race The
most notable campaign made by any
of their candidates is that of Clifford
Pinchot in Pennsylvania, which serv-
es to divide the opposition to Senator
Penrose. In Indiana, ex-senator
Beveridge aspires to his old position;
and in Kansas, Representative Victor
Murdoch is, running against ex-Sena-
tor Curtis, Republican, and Repre-
sentative George A. Neeley, Demo-
GRAFT
In addition to the thirty-two Sen
ators regularly to be chosen, two
others will be elected, one in Georgia
to succeed Senator West, who was
appointed on the death of Senator
Bacon, and another in Kentucky,
where Senator Camden, appointed on
the death of Senator Bradley, has
been nominated by the Democrats for
the short term, and former Gov.
6eckham for the long term.

Washington, D. c., Oct. Especial
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the Republic
can members of the House get back
into Iowa on the stump they are plan
ming to wage their principal campaign
on the war tax issue. They have
been printing themselves for the
fight for weeks. Most of the members
have had inserted in the COMPRESSION
al Record for home circulation
speeches denouncing the tax. 1t will
be up to the people to judge if this
is a patriotic performance, and from
the arguments made on the floor by
some of the Democratic members
they are confident that the war tax
will fail as political issue.
Congressman Cordell Hull, of Ten
nessee, author of the income tax
amendment of the tariff bill, made
an effective speech the other day af-
ter he had listened all day to speeches
made for political effect.
Mr.. Speaker, he said, "if play
ing politics in the face of a great
crisis were proof of patriotism, |
could pronounce a eulogy upon the
Republican size Of the House that
would place them in the category of
the truest band OF patriots to be
found upon this planet. During my
entire service here, in fact, during
my entire life, l have never seen any
assemblage Of grcwn-up men reduce /
to such serious and desperate straits
that they were willing to lay aside
their Judgment, the facts, the reason
and the patriotism of the situation
and devote their efforts to the pro-
pagation of extreme, hide-bound,
stand-pat partisanship.
Mr.. Hull said he had heard q great
deal about other methods of taxation,
but had seen no suggestion made in
concrete form offered by any gentle
man on the Republican side. He had
heard only criticism of the Under
wood tariff law. and he told the Re-
publicans If they were really sincere
in their criticism of the Underwood
law, because it could not meet the
demands of the Treasury under war
conditions, they would propose to
repeal this law, with its income tax
provisions, and re-enact the Payne
Aldrich law.
But they dare not propose to this
House a re-enactment of the Payne
law and the repeal of the income tax
law" lie said, "and go back to their
constituents and tell them that they
had decided that wealth ought not to
pay its share of taxes in this coun-
try, that it ought to be exempt, as
Republican administrations exempted
during all the past years, and that we
ought again to restore a tax of As
