HOW DALTON CANE BACK.
Manson Democrat.


Contrary TO the unkind, untruth-
ful and unjus. accusations of various
democrats and democratic newspapers
In Iowa. the editor of this newspaper
did not oppose MIR. Connolly because
he opposed our appointment to the
position Of United States marshal for
the northern district Of Iowa. 1t was
because Of personal matter between
Mr.. Connolly and the editor OF this
newspaper that We opposed him. Ny.
Connolly made a statement concern
ing the character of the editor OF The
Democrat which vas not true and
time will prove to him that he dealt
unjustly with US when he uttered II.
He will not have to answer to the
voters for the injustice done man OF
his own race and creed: that matter
he will have to settle with his con-
science. With us it is closed Incl
dent from this time on. Maurice Con-
molly is a democrat and he will work
and vote for the support of democratic
principles, which are our principles.
Hence we will support him.

cLARKEs LEADERSHIP.
Isioux City Journal


Governor George w Clarke is the
real hero of the Iowa republican pri-
mary. Denied the conventional re-
nomination without opposition, and OPP
posed on the assumedly popular side OF
the taxation issue, Governor Clarke
has actually bettered his record in the
1912 primary.
In his first campaign Mr.. Clarke was
opposed by two candidates and was
minority nominee. He scored plu-
rality of 10000 over Holden, but tho
combined vote for Holden and Proud
foot exceeded the Clarke total by
about 1000. In the late primary,
according to figures that are still in
complete, the governor has registered
a plurity of $1,000, while rolling up
an actual majority of more than 80
600 over the combined vote for Lee and
Rowley.
The opposition to Governor Clarke
was based wholly on the theory that he
should be held responsible for an UNI
warranted increase in taxation for
state purposes. AT first effort was
made TO hang the opposition on the
capitol extension peg, but this soon
proved TOO small TO hold an argument
OF any "elkHl. men llit pppooAlich
endea vored TO create prejudice against
the governor on the ground that the
board of equalization. of which he Is
member. had wrought great damage
in readjusting land assessments 10
bring about a uniform approximation
of actual value thruout tho counties OF
the state I, was the Gcmonstrable
emptiness of this issue that was re-
fiected in the primary returns.
Governor Clarke did not try to dodge
any of the capitol tax criticism. AL
tho the legislature was responsible Tor
the extension policy, both parties
therein having co-operated in approx
ing the tax, Governor Clarke met his
critics on the ground selected and de-
Tended the capitol extension project.
He defended it as STRAIGHTFORWARD
business proposition in which the STATE
was to acquire at a reasonable price
| land that was actually needed for pub
| lie purposes. The imitation began 10

after the governors Sioux City speech

A DELAYED PANIC.

more autos and the next doubled that
and the succeeding year quadrupled
the output and sales Of the year be-
fore anG more autos ani better are
being sold this year than ever before
and the panic seems farther away than
ever. The machines have been worn
out and replaced, scattered among pur-
chasers who can not afford new prices
and today on bright day there is an
auto for every half mile Of good road
in Iowa. And still We seem 20 be even
more prosperous. Building goes on.

It doubles and trebles a mans day. It

money than it costs. II isn't question
of the expense account.-but Of the vol
ume of business done. And the ga.
