lire in the sheet which pretends to
present anything that Harding ever did
as LEGISLATOR which can commend
him for governor. 1t IL all devoted to
censure for thoee republicans who have
refused to support the party nominee.
Oliver w. Stevenson, who heard
Harding speak twice in FSyette coun-
ty, writes that Harding should be
styled IAN able and cunning apostle
of stagnation." This is in line with
the demand of the Sioux City Tribune
for some Harding booster to name one
constructive measure that Harding
ever championed which can be pro-
Guced in this campaign as a credit to
him. So far the republican campaign
committee has been unable to present
even one.
Potatoes should be classified as fruit.
They're out of the vegetable classifi-

The Hughes sentiment is growing
rapidly TO the proportions of land
slide. The president will have to think
up something else. The latest stunts
haven't got over"
Frank ]. Macomber, writes in the
Des Moines Register that he attended
the state university with sixty saloons
and four big breweries under my nose
and l know the evil OF them" He
says that he is an old line republican
but he wants Harding defeated for
making a fight in the legislature to
save the saloons for Iowa City.
To an interviewer for the Des
Moines Capital Harding said: Il was
in Marshall county Tuesday. The re-
publican county organization there is
enthusiastic and believes l will run
even with Hughes if not ahead Of
him" This Is in line with the utter
unreliability which Mr.. Harding mas
displayed turnout this campaign. He
was in Marshall county Tuesday but
he was told by the republican county
organiza ton that he would be cut here
by republicans and that he might get
some democratic votes. When he spoke
in village in the south part or the
county. he was unattended by any
member Of the republican organization
of this county outside of the village in |
which he spoke. Marshall county gave
Clarke 1913 plurality over Hamilton
two years ago and is now claimed BIZ
the democratic committee for Mere
dith this year by l.5e0 Cosson lar
ried Marshall county over Harding n
the primaries in spite OF a strong vote
for Allen who was born and reared in
this county
