members of any other political organ
ization. l venture to say once more
that when the Chicago convention in
the country who acknowledged alleg-
lance to the Republican party We're
the most progressive, the most intel
|ligent, the most patriotic, the most
humane, the most CAPABLE body OF
citizens who ever associated them
|selves together for the purposes of
government, and that their composite
will carried into constitutions and
laws, would advance civilization to
ton can attain.
10 Party Of the People.
''The Republican party is party
|of the people: it is a party founded
upon the eternal principle that all
men must have an equal opportunity,
not only in the struggle of life but
in the conduct of political affairs.
at is q party which holds as its
cardinal doctrine the principle that
representation, not only in conven-
tons but in congresses, should be
without discrimination, and our res
|toration to power will depend very
largely upon our future recognition
and adoption of such rules for party
management as will make it sure that
the voice of one Republican will be as
potential as the voice of any other
Republican, and that the voice of the
majority shall be heard.
Our leaders must be in sympathy
with the opinions and desires of the
rank and file OF the organization, and
open that this result will always fol-
low conventions and election.
There may have been some apathy
and Indifference in times past, and
some fault may be laid at the door
of the primary voter; but If there
ever was this apathy and Indifference
they have now given flace to energy
and determination, and when we again
meet in national council to determine
the future course of the party and to
select candidates who are to crystal
ize into law the will Of the millions |
predict that the declaration will ring
with the sound, wholesome and pro-
gressive doctrines of good govern
ment, and will be in full and complete
accord with the highest ideals OF hui
man civilization.
Not only so. but there will no
longer be differences between those
who carry the flag for the time being
and those who are to fight for the
flag. We will establish and maintain
leadership that will represent, in it's
best and truest sense, the real pur-
pose of the vast army Of loyal Re-
publicans, who will gather around the
standard raised for the welfare of
mankind

DON'T.

The Iowa Highway Commission is
sues the following pertinent don'ts:
Don't make earth roads in the fall
Don't wait till mudholes get foot
deep.
Don't think you are better, road
builder than an engineer who makes
road building his business.
Don't be afraid to spend few dol
lars for survey. You would not
doctor your own children without a
doctors diagnosis.
Don't expect a forty-horss tractor
to cross a bridge that is unsafe for
load Of corn.
Don't drive up to railway cross
ing and dispute the right way with
the train. 1t may meet you there.
Don't expect the supervisors to do
everything. They are human and
doing their best Help them little.
Don't forget to burn the weeds.

The success of the republican con-
sressional candidate in the seventh
New Jersey district on a platform di-
rectly opposed to that OF Presid ent
Wilson has caused considerable spec
ulation among politicians a to wheth

was satisfactory. A majority OF more
than 5000 for the republican nominee

Paint the steel bridges and save
your county money. This is the ad-
vice of the expert bridge men work
ing with the highway commission.
Rust does more damage and causes
more deterioration to the steel struc-
ture than all the traffic that can pass
over it. Rust and bad paint cause
many thousands Of dollars damage to
the steel bridges Of Iowa every year.
Poor paint causes almost as much
loss as rust. So important is the
matter of getting proper paint that
the commission has found It nsces-
sary to lay down standard specifica-
tons to which bridge paint should
conform. Supervisors planning on
painting bridges should send samples
OF the paint intended for use to the
commission for chemical analysis and
test. The steel bridge properly con-
structed and of ample strength to
carry any load demanded of it, is in
many situations the most economical
construction available. If located
where they are free from electrical
influences and kept properly cleaned
and painted, they will last for gen.
erations.

GRIT AND PLUCK.
Often when the triumph seems Ger.
tain we find
The unexpected takes place,
And in lieu of winning we drop be-

Finding we've lost in the race,
Ills then we should summon our grit

And effort put forth again.
Next time there may come to US bet

And what We have fought for gain.
"There's many slip 'twixt the cup
and the lip,
Says the adage, ol6 and true,
But because we at one time lost our
grip
Is why we should try anew.

And will rise to victory.
There are all about us half-hearted

SEE REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

One Of the largest and most sincere
and effective get-together meetings
held for the purpose Of reuniting the
Republican party was the one last
Thursday night in Chicago by the
Hamilton club when Republicans,
lprogressives, suffragists and people
affiliated with other political organ,
tizations assembled and cheered the
speakers who urged united front to
restore the party of Abraham Lincoln.
With the name of Lincoln on all
| lips the great assemblage with an
almost religious fervor sang, my
| Country, IT'S OF Thee" 1t was great
meeting of 5000 people who were
earnest and enthusiastic in their de-
sire to restore the party that has
been responsible for the greatest ad-
vancement ever given to a nation.
The spirit OF the meeting breathed
success. One of the addresses was by
Senator A. B. Cummins Of Iowa, a
part of which follows:
OF the Republican party Senator
Cummins said:
"Of the 25,00O,0O0 of people who
make up the voting population of the
United States there are, believe,
more men and women who would like
to march under the Republican flag
than can be gathered around the ban
ner of any other political organiza-
ton

and a free opportunity to say what
this government should be, and what
it ought to do; fair chance and a
free opportunity to declare the prin-
ciples that should guide it, the policies
that should control it, and to establish
Ia leadership in full sympathy with
their high and noble purposes.
They want. as they always have
wanted, a government which will pur-
sue sound economic course, but they
want more than that; they want a
government that not only understands
the Importance of well adjusted
tariff, of an efficient financial system,
lof an effectively regulated industrial
and transportation system, but gov
eminent which understands the
economy of human life, OF sound
minds, sound morals and sound
bodies-a government whose especial
wards are the weak and the helpless.
that will be most deeply concerned in
the rights of men and in the comfort
and happiness OF the hundred whose
welfare is committed to it's care: a
government that will administer jus
tice in like measure to the higA and

the greatest.

Not Fault Of Party.

This is the kind of government
that the Republican party was created
to give to the people of this country.
and there has never been a moment
in which the vast majority OF its
rank and file have not been devot-
edly attached to those exalted ideals.
IF there has been infidelity or in
capacity on the part Of those who
have from time to time been intrust-
ed with the duty OF carrying the
wishes of the Republicans in the
ranks into effect, and from my stand
point, I candidly concede that there
have been such instances, that rem
edy is to remove them from their
places and authority and substitute
others in their stead. and go straight
on to the end upon which every eye
is fixed.
