Another phase OF Mr. Cosson't adj

BRYAN IN TENNESSEE.
[Des Moines Capitol

BENJAMIN Wade Hooper is the pres
emf governor OF Tennessee. He is
serving his second term. He has been
elected heretofore by coalition OF in
dependent democrats and republicans.
He has generally had two nominations.
He is lawyer by profession and ma
tive Of East Tennessee. He has made a
fearless fight against liquor. He has
driven ii out of the state. He has even
put ii under subsection in Memphis.
altho that city is on the Mississippi and
was supposed to be whisky soaked.
Governor Hooper and his followers say
that 1t is necessary for him to be elect
ed another term In order to "clinch"
his work Some of the leading demo-
cratic papers Of Tennessee have al
ways supported Governor Hooper. The
governor has not been q partisan. In
appointing men to office, he has APP
pointed as many democrats as repuo-
Leans He does not claim to carry
Tennessee as a republican. His re-
election would not mean that Tenne-
see had gone republican. There is no
issue but booze" Secretary Bryan
made a speech at Memphis last week
against the reelection Of Governor
Hooper. He urged the election OF Cen
eral Rye. the straight democratic nom
inee, declaring that It was 20 the In
terest Of the national democratic ad-
fninistration, which was expecting
vote OF confidence from Tennessee.
Thus q strange situation Is presented.

RELYING ON DECEPTION.

ponents OF Governor Clarke willing to
state the facts and then prove their
casec
Why is it that nobody who processes
to tell the people what an outrage has
Been done, is willing to rely upon the
recordo
The whole business of the friends OF
the governor has been to get the actual
facts before the people.
They have had to publish and re-
publish the house journal, the senate
journal the newspaper comments OF
the ne, everything connected with the
massage Of the act. in order to keep UP

Not a single dependable statement OF

Of extension, at least, no such state
ment has come to the notice OF the

The opponents OF extension have re-
led upon deceiving the people. They
have believed that the truth could not
possibly be spread abroad in time TO
head off an adverse verdict at the polls
But the truth. which IS usually slow

One of the aole public officials on
he republican state ticket this year II
Hon George Cosson. attorney general,
who is n candidate for reelection
THAT he stands high in the estimation
OF Iowa people is evident BY the heavy
vote given him in previous elections
and by the denomination In the June
primaries. Mr. Cosson has had and
will have in this coming election the
support of many democrats as well as
many republicans because OF their re-
spect for the man, for his personal in
tegrity, his sincerity and his courage
In meeting every requirement in his
Office, even under adverse criticism
The people OF Iowa are more or less
familiar with the vigor OF his admin
istra;ion OF the legal department. In
the legislature he was the author OF
the so-called "Cosson Laws which
made IL possible 10 more thoroughly
administer justice in Iowa, and which
have been taken as model in the
legislation OF other states.
Mr.. Cosson's work in behalf OF
prison reforms is also well-hnown al
tho 1t may not be known that the bill
which authorizes the working o, prl-
soners on the highways and upon any
public work was drafted by him and
passed the Thirty Gfth general assem-
bly, in the exact form in which he pre-
pared it. Ii was most worthy meas
