TOLD TO WITHDRAW.
Speaker Paul Stillman Gives Advise
to Candidate Harding.
REPUBLICAN, CHIEF SPEAKS
Editor Of jefferson Bee Says Thou
sands of Republicans in
Iowa Are in Open
Revolt.

Paul E. Stillman, speaker of the
Iowa house of representatives in
1911, and a member Of the house
during the sessions of 1907. 1909
and 1911, the same sessions in which
w. L. Harding served, has published
an editorial in his paper, the Jeffer-
son Bee, demanding the withdrawal
of Harding from the gubernatorfal
race.
Stillman is considered one of the
most influential republicans in the
state, and is thoroughly conversant
with Mr.. Harding's record in the leg
islature, whore they served for six
years together. Mr.. Stillman in his
editorial comments upon the wide
spread disaffection against Harding,
and asks:
"What satisfaction can any man
find in a candidacy wherein he loses
q very large proportion Of the best
element in his own party and &C.
quires very largo proportion of the
worst element in tho party of tho OPP
position? What honor or glory?
what shall it profit a man If he gain
the whole world and lose his own
soul v?
Following is the editorial in full:
Harding Should Withdraw.
The republican revolt against
Harding at this time is one of the
most amazing things in the history
of Iowa politics. 1t is everywhere.
In the remotest corners of the state,
1t makes it's appearance, and wher'
ever group of republicans gather
you may know that it is present. It
is a conflagration.
Thousands upon thousands of re-
publicans have said openly that they
will not support Harding, because he
does not represent the best ideals OF
republicanism. Thousands on thou
sands of other republicans are en-
barrassed by the fact that they want
to remain regular and want to elect
a republican governor, but they do
not want to vote for Harding. These
are not saying much, but are won
dering what they can do. In one of
these two classes half of the men,
bers of the republican party in Iowa
find themselves today. More than
half the republicans of Iowa were
opposed to Harding at the primary.
and he is much weaker now than on
the day he was nominated.
Offsetting this unprecedented de-
lection in his own party. Harding
finds himself the beneficiary of an
astonishing lot of recruits from the
democratic party. The wet demo-
Gratis, from one river to the other,
are with him to the, last man. For
one cause alone will democrats, in
this year which means so much to

TREES MUST BE SAVED.
Supreme Court Curtails Right Of
Electric Companies in Use
of Streets.

The Iowa Railway and Light .om-
pany had no right to cut down the
trees in front of the residence of j.
w. Newlands in Woodward, the su-
preme court ruled in decision hand
ed down in the case of Newlands VS..
Iowa Railway and Light Company
and Newlands is therefore entitled to
damages. Newlands declared he had
taken many years to grow these
trees and that the defendant COM
pany cut them down because they
claimed they interfered with their
wires.
1t is brought out in the review Of
the case that the defendants witness
es, or some of them, went to the ex-
tent of saying that to erect and eff
ficiently operate it's wires all trees
within fifty feet should be removed.
The high court declares that. the eff
feet of such practice would be to
completely devastate an ordinary
street of all its shade and that when
ornamental trees in residence
neighborhood are destroyed one of
the chief elements in the value of the
abutting property has been taken
away.
The ruthless destruction of trees
in many communities both by tele-,
phone companies and by electric and
high power transmission companies
has been considerable source of
annoyance in recent years. Property
owners who have appealed to the
courts, however, have been usually
successful in getting damages in such
cases.

THE ACCEPTANCE PLEASES HIS
FRIENDS.
High Qualities OF Mr.. Stephenson as
sure Support.

Mr.. Jas. A. Stephenson, of Mt. Ayr,
has accepted the nomination tender
ed by the democratic senatorial COM
mittee for the Fifth District. The
district comprises the counties of
Ringgold, Decatur and Union.
Before accepting the nomination,
Mr.. Stephenson made a canvass of
the district, consulting prominent
citizens, republicans as we'll as dem
ocrats, and found conditions that he
considers highly encouraging. Mr..
Stephenson is not without experience
in politics, having represented Ring
gold county in the thirty-fourth
general assembly, the first democrat
ever elected to the house from that
overwhelmingly republican county.
Mr.. Stephenson for many years
lived on a farm in Ringgold county.

1t is idle to go into the reasons why.
There are reasons, or these condt-

No one man is as great as the re-
publican party, and no one man
ought to stand in the way of its sue
cess. Republicans do not want to
elect a democratic governor; they
want to elect republican, and Hard

 Last night as Bradley was making ms rounds. he tried the door of the wardrobe Cleaning Works. corner of van Buren street and Central avenue. AS he rattled the door, he heard noise Tn the rear, and proceeded to make a nasty investigation. He found the aDoVe pair, attempting to enter the place through a rear window. They had torn screen from one of the windows. ana were getting ready to force the window, when Bradley intervened.
 botn men started to run, and Brad icy after them. He succeeded in catching one of the men, grabbed him firmly by the coat collar, and pro- ceeded after the other fugitive. His captive proved an encumbrance, and as he passed Payne & Sauffley's. he showed the Mexican into the front door where several men were standing. among whom happened to be R. H. Sauffley. Bradley uttered an injunc- tion to the effect that they had better hold his man while he went after the other one. Sauffley took him at his word knocked the Mexican down and sat on him while Bradley started on his mad career after the other man. He chased him down Monroe street around several adobes, and finally To- cated him lying under tree. He took the two men to the county jail, where they are being held, charged with at- tempted burglary.
