Reasons For Movement.
A statement accompanying the sig
natures says:
"Mr. Republican Voter: Lists similar
to the above are In circulation which
You are invited to sign. II you feel
that Harding should be defeated. give
your influence to help accomplish that
result A republican vote for Mere
dith counts double against the inter
ests behind Harding.
AS republicans we are firmly con-
WINGED that the election Of W. L
Harding to the Office OF governor OF
iowa would be highly Injurious TO the
best interests Of both the state and the
republican party.
No consideration Of party ,ealty
can outweigh the evidence of the
bad record made by Harding In public
ontce. His record shows that be can
be depended on to rntsrepresent rather
than to represent republican principles
Ills record shows him to be opposed to
temperance He does not repudiate his
record, and ~ expects republicans to
accept him and his record as IN favor
OF the traditional stand for temper
lance; and at the same time he seeks
and gladly accepts the support of the
liquor interests.
He u not progressive on the good
roads question and does not stand for
any wen defined views toward max
ing Iowa better and greater state.
We ehan therefore cast our votes this
fall for n T. Meredith for governor,
as he stands for greater Iowa, axri-
culturaly and commercially, and is
right on all state questions.
We feal that no republican can
do . befter service for his party than
TO dsfeat Harding"
