Says That Harding viii Give state
i One Of the Best Administration
in History Of the Stake
Cedar Rapids Republican,: The most
significant victory of the election year
has been won by w. l.. Harding. the
republican candidate for governor. As
he swept the primaries he has swept
the state. We have felt all that time
that such would be the outcome. We
could not lose faith in the ultimate
sense of fair play and justice in the
politics of the state. We felt. that tho
voters would resent the unfair and I'm
just attacks that were made upon this
man. +i, .,s
1t is rot necessary now to do more
thar. allude to these attacks. But it
would not be just If wa did not allude
to them. We may not ignore the
facts. We are in duty bound to point
out the moral effect Of them. May it
never again be possible to atari such
q campaign as has been carried on in
this state for two or three months un-
der the leadership OF unconscional.le
journalism. sl4
There was never any basis in fact
for the allegations that were made
against Mr.. Harding. They were con
cetved in spite and born Of enmity
and venom. But the men who had
vowed to drive Harding from public
life because they could not use him.
We're clever in q way and resourcafsi
in many more ways. They presented
such skillfully drawn plan that they
swept many shallow thinkers in poll
tics. including many OF the clergy, on Z
their feet. And having dedicated
themselves to the published errors they
would not recede even when the truth
was laid before them. 81
