THE SITUATION.

Jewell Record: Voters who con-
template changing their party affili-
atoms should bear in mind that in
the June primaries man can vote
for the nomination only of the can
didates on the ticket of the party
with which he is affiliated. A man
who is recorded as republican can
not participate in the nomination Of
democratic or progressive party can
didates. A man who changes to the
new progressive party cannot vote
for the nomination of candidates on
the republican ticket. If a man
wants to help nominate a friend who
is a candidate for county Office on
the republican ticket he must re-
main a republican. If he wants to
help nominate Cummins for senator,
he must remain republican. Cum
minis will be a candidate on the re-
publican ticket and members of 9TH
er parties will not have any oppor-
tunity to help nominate him.

There are about three factions, max

A FLY IN THE OINTMENT.

Des Moines Capital: One of the
purposes to be accomplished by the
commission form of government was,
and is, the abolition of political par
ties. The law prohibits the use of
party names on the ballots. The
makers Of the law had in mind the
then existing national political par
ties. It was the belief that national
politics should have no control or
power over purely city politics. The
theory was good. The names Of po-
litical parties have not appeared. In
fact, the influence of national par
ties has not affected the situation in
Des Moines. But there has been a
q adual organization of factions, CO.
operating together, and in the end
they accomplished certain political
ends. Their main purpose is to get
the Offices, to make the ordinance, to
suit certain purposes, and to do all
the things which selfish men have

The thing for progressives to do,
if they hope to accomplish results,
is to stay with the republican party,
capture it and make it the instru-
ment through which these reforms
will be brought about. The rank
and file of the party believe in pro-
gressive principles and they can
elect such leaders as they see fit. If
the progressive voters of the country
remain divided there can be no hope
to accomplish these things. The
split in the party in 1912 put back
the movement many years, as the
progressive members of the party
had the fight for supremacy practic-
ally won. BY 1916 they would have
had full control and the party would
be redeemed and returned to the
service of the people The third
party can, of course. command
enough strength to defeat the repub-
lican party nationally, as the situa-
ton now stands, but as the hopeless
ness OF success for the third party
becomes apparent the re-

THE GREATEST STATE.

James e. Poole, market editor Of
Breeders Gazette, in the Live Stock
World:
Going across Iowa by daylight
if you desire to see the fair face OF
the greatest agricultural state in
this union of Incompatible common
wealths do not cross Iowa while re-
posing in the arms of Morpheus
Take a daylight trip and keep your
gaze fixed on the landscape.
Iowa is the greatest rectangular
piece of fertile soil on the face OF
this mundane sphere. In one respect
it enjoys unique distinction; it is all
good.
Last year Iowa's field crops were
million dollars more
than in 1912. The value of it's corn
crop exceeded that Of the previous
year by over forty-two million dol
lars, its aggregate value on fifty
nine-cen-per-bushe basis being
$194,311,00
In addition it raised oats to the
value of $56,049,000 on thirty
four-cent basis; spring wheat $4,-
$4,000 on a seventy-five-cent basis
and winter wheat 100000, on a
basis.

fool the public by winning over GER
tain interests and influences by fav-

no worse in the big cities than in
many of the smaller ones, and the
same tactics are used in all. When
the leaders of pelf and greed are at
tackled they assume an injured in
nocence air, just as boss Murphy
does, and succeed in making many
good people believe that they are be-
ing abused. The people of New York,
now that they have Tammany down

mains as leader or not, the organ

half million dollars worth of barley,
three fourths of million OF rye,
four million of potatoes and eight
million of hay.
Figures are wearisome, but these
are eloquent and yet Iowa's product
i've capacity has been far from reach
ed. 1t is draining thousands # acres
annually and has other thousands
susceptible of improvement in the
same manner.
Iowa fattens more cattle, raises
more hogs than any other state IN
the union. With the exception OF
Colorado, it fattens more sheep and
lambs than any other on grain.
Some people have left Iowa, lur-
ed by the siren song of the exploit
er of far away pastures, but they are
coming back by the hundred thous-
and. After a trial elsewhere many
are brought to a realization that
Iowa is good place to live.
Iowa has been a hungry purchaser
of stock cattle at Chicago, Kansas
City, Omaha and Sioux City for a
year past. Iowa prefers northern
bred cattle, but being unable to get
them has taken the other horn OF the
dilemma. It has been buying any
thing capable of putting on gain in
the same manner that packers have
been taking anything that will bleed
at the stock yards.
During the drought last summer
when Kansas City was glutted with
thin cattle out of parched south
western pastures, Iowa was largely
responsible in saving the day for the
drought sufferers. It bought cattle
freely in an effort to replenish de-
ficiency. During the drought, Iowa
was spot on the map favored by
nature. Had it been otherwise
graziers in the southwest would have
encountered financial disaster.
Iowa has stepped into the front
rank as a feeder of western sheep. A
few years ago Minnesota, by reason
of cheap elevator screenings, held
that distinction, then Michigan took
it and now the sceptre of suprem-
acy has been passed across the Mis-
sissippi river to Iowa. With the sin
gle exception of Colorado, Iowa,furn-
ishes more western sheep and lambs
than any other state in the union.
See Iowa while its surface is bath
ed in the golden sunlight of win
ter day. The panorama of nature
afforded is a veritable inspiration.
Compared with the smiling face of
the Hawkeye state the boosted Nile
valley is mere pocket.
Carry the radiance of your soul in
your face; let the world have the
benefit of it.-Fox.

A MISREPRESENTATION.

It appears that some Of the voters
in the vicinity of Jewell who signed
the declaration of a change in party
affiliation, declaring themselves
members of the third party progress
sives, did so under a misapprehen-
sion of just what such action means.
Some of them want to support Sen
ator Cummins at the primary, others
want to vote for Congressman
Woods and still others want to help
their republican friends to the NOM
ination for county Office, but as
members of the progressive party
they cannot do so. They can vote
at the primary for progressive party
candidates only. In speaking of this
matter the Jewell Record says:
1t has developed that some, pos
sibly quite a number, who have sign
ed applications for change of party
affiliation from the republican to
the progressive party, did so without
taking into consideration the fact
that by SO doing they were making
it impossible for them to help local
friends in the race for the republic
can nomination for county offices.
Some of these want to change back
again and others may want to
change back later. 1t is just exact
ly as easy to change the second time
as it is the first. Supplies Of appli-
cation blanks have been sent for and
a blank can be secured at the Rec
ord office as well as at several other
places in town.

If the removal of the tariff from

if it is going to reduce the price how
can the farmer expect to sell at high

There is considerable talk of re-
publican candidate against Senator
Cummins at the primaries. The pri-
mary is the place for republicans to
settle their differences and # men,
bers of the party who are opposed to
the senator will put up good,
strong, clean man against him no
harm will be done no matter who
wins. The field is open to all and if
Senator Cummins cannot win at the
primary over any opposing candidate
that might get into the contest he
cannot win at the election. The
believes he can
win easily in both contests, but there
is always some doubt and it may be
that he is not as strong before the
people as his friends believe. How
ever. if there are any considerable
of republicans who are now
to him it is just as well for
them to have a candidate in the field
within the party and let the June
primary settle the matter of who
shall be the republican nominee to
be voted upon at the November cleo
ton.

President Wilson can dodge about
as gracefully as any of them when
occasion demands. In the absence
of declaration on the part of his
party as to universal suffrage the
president doesn't know exactly
where he is at. The president has
formed the habit of telling the party
in congress just what he wants and
when he wants it and the party has
formed the habit of giving it to him
on platter. But when the great
question of female suffrage comes up
the president loses his nerve and
sidesteps. That is the way Blaine
treated the prohibition question
when he was the nominee of his par
ty for president in 1884. The pro-
hibitionists were anxious to have
MIN commit himself upon that issue,
but Mr.. Blaine said that as he was
the candidate of a great party he
could not commit that party to the
principle of prohibition. Blaine
made mistake then and we believe
Wilson has made one now. The
president or candidate for presi-
dent can have ideas of his own upon
these great questions and can ex-
press them without committing the
party. Had Blaine said he person
ally favored or opposed prohibition
the party would not have been COM
mitted and Blaine would have been
given credit for having the courage
of his convictions. But he lacked
the courage to take a stand then,
just as President Wilson does now.
The national democratic club of
New York has demanded the resig-
nation of Charles F. Murphy as lead
er of Tammany, but Mr.. Murphy is
not of a retiring disposition and re-
fuses to honor the demand. He says

people and does not propose to be
