HANDFUL OF VOTES
IS BEING CAST
Iowa's First Presidential Pref
erence Primary is Held
To-day, With Little
Interest.
CUMMINS AND WILSON
The Only Contest Of Any Size is That
of Democratic Candidates for
the Position Of National
Committeeman.
CUMM1Ns AND WILSON

DIES MONIES, Iowa, April 10.-De-
spite pleasant weather only small
vote is expected to be cast today at
Iowa's first presidential preference
primary. Woodrow Wilson for the
democrats and Senator A. B. Cum
minis for the republicans will get all
their party votes. The progressiyes
will also select full delegation to
the Chicago convention. National
Committeeman John Adams Of Du-
buque, will be re-chosen without op-
position by the republicans, but in the
democratic camp there Is bitter
fight being made by Ed G. Dunn, of
Mason City who Is trying to oust VII
bur w. Marsh of Waterloo, as demo
cratic national committeeman and it
is on this fight that what little inter-
est there is in the election, is cen
tered.
There are no contests among the
republicans and progresstves. Candi-
dates for delegates between progress
sive republicans and standpatters are
equally divided In the democratic
camp there Is a merry war on be-
tween the Organization" headed by
Nick Reed, United States marshal for
southern Iowa and DR.. ]. w. Reynolds,
of Creston, state chairman.
Both republicans and democrats
will follow the primaries with state
conventions, the republican meeting
at Cedar Rapids about May 10. These
meetings have nothing to do with the
conventions, the republicans meeting
maries for state officers and members
of the legislature.

was found it lacked 266 of having
enough A great many names were
found on the petition, it is alleged that
were not on the registery lists.
The election commissioner also
stated that there had been gross
carelessness in getting up the petition.

Action on Submarine Question

decisive action by the United States
in the Sussex case has been held up
through unexpected delay in the ar
rival of the liner st. Paul, bringing
desired af1idavits, there were two i'm
portant developments today that will
aid materially in shaping this gov

The first was an afternoon confer

German Ambassador Won Bernstorff
requested by the latter.
The second was cable from Am

expected to send to the state depart

foreign office to his formal inquiries
as to whether German submarine

He said those who believed in him
were pure and undefled, while those
who followed not his teachings and
believed not rs he did were grafters
and the truth was not in them. There
fore the lame and the blind (politi-
cally) took up his fight end expoused
his doctrines. He was elected gov
ernor while all the other officials were
chosen from the opposition party. His
administration was a failure and when
his term of office expired he was po-
litically dead.
Let a man enter into politics and
his sins will surely find him out.
Some people will tell you il Is a gross
insult to the party for an official TO
recognize the ability Of some member
of the opposite party. This imagi-
nary insult is usually from the teeth
out and Is spoken for effect only.

WHO WOULD DO THE DYING1

After the senators, who were burn
ing for war, had thought it over a
little. they really saw no reason for
invasion of Mexico because of the
massacre by villa bandits Of eighteen
Americans at Santa ISABEL. 1t &C.
CURED to them that Carranza had not
been given even fairly reasonable time
TO run down and eXterminate the
broken enemy bands operating in the
mountains of northern Mexico, and
that the Americans were taking far
too great risks in going into territory
so recently held by more than 10000
Villistas.
Another thing TO be considered is
that not many of those who shout for
war expect TO expose their precious
bodies TO enemy bullets or to disease
of n semi-tropical climate. Few Of
them would ever be in danger of COM
ing in contact with the dreaded ty-
phus fever. They do not expect TO
wage war. That is for the govern
ment.
Furthermore, those who want hair
trigger war waged by the govern
ment do not take time to think that
the United States would be compelled
to send some hundreds of thousands
of the best young men of the nation
into Mexico for an indefinite period.
Should necessity exist, those young
men would go, and many of them
would ~cheerfully die by bullets or by
disease. But so long as Mexican SOL
diers will do in their country what
American soldiers would be expected
to do II they were sent; why send
them?
The man who advocates war should
be willing to sacrifice his own life
and his own property in the prose-
cution of that war. We have an idea
that very few Of the men who have
been denouncing the president for
not intervening in Mexico would seek
danger if there should be such inter-
vention, and il one Of them should
be called upon to eXpcnd as much as
a thousand dollars for the prosecu-
ton of sucf. wal he would kick like

POLICY POLITICS

Political beliefs formed during our
childhood and young manhood are not
thrown aside in a day or even a year,
unless there is some motive for so
doing. Perhaps it is seeking office
in a county where the majority is
largely in favor of the opposite party
or it may be for business reasons.
Some men use church membership the
same way and when they come 10 a
new town they hurriedly acquaint
themselves as to which church is the
most popular and no matter what
they believe they join that church
with the expectation Of gaining the
assistance Of the membership from
a business stand point.
Some men believe in republican
doctrines before they come TO this or
that county which is strongly demo-
cratic. They cast their lot with the
leading party and praise themselves
to the sky. They pick out some
imaginary fau IL in their brother and
magnify it until they really believe
what they r telling.
During a campaign once several
years ago in IN eastern state we saw
q man rise up and preach purity in
politics and said II the people would
select him for governor he would
drive the rascals and grafters out.

on their own ticket in order to defeat
some one whom they could not use
as n tool when they desired 10 pull
one over on the unsuspecting public.
When you hear some man shouting
his head Oft about some official being
untrue to his party, ask this gentle
mar IL he has always voted for every
mar on his party ticket. We do not
blame any man for scratching his
ticket IL he knows some one whose
name is thereon TO be unfit TO hold or
conduct the Office TO which he aspires,
but let him who is without sin
against his party cast the first stone.
County Chairman Davidson said ut
the precinct meeting last week that
nearly every editor in the county had
changed his politics since n democrat
ic president had been in power, for
the reason that no land Office business
is given to any but democratic papers.
Some of these editors are perhaps
republicans or socialists. These men
have a right TO change their minds,
hut there are very few papers edited
Dy tne same men WIN Nei' :" N""'s~
of them five years ago.
We do not think very much OF a
mans politics or religion when he
changes IL wholly from "A business
standpoint in order TO gain power or
prestige in the community in which he
lives. Il he was a republican or dem
ocrat in Oklahoma or Texas his be-
liefs would not be altered when NOV
inc into some other state where the
opposite party was in power. Politi-
cal or religious views are not easily
changed.
In national and state affairs where
party beliefs count for much we be-
lieve in voting the ticket straight and
not mixing things up so no party has
a power to control and take the re-
sponsibility for the results.

The Eumce Gall, two weeks ago,
brought up the case" against He
laire Carriere, murderer of Sheriff
Swords, and asked why the erimi-
nal, now lying in the Calcasieu par
ish jail at Lake Charles had not
been indicted and tried; why the
grand jury had not been called,
and a special term of court held to
give the man trial.
The district attorney was very
prompt in setting down on the
Gall, quoting a decision Of the SUI
prene court that the grand jury
could not be assembled during va
cation of the court; that if such
were done in Garriere's case much
trouble and expense might result
and in case Of conviction the YER
dict be set aside by the supreme
court.
In the light Of the district attor-
ney's quoting the decision Of the
higher court no one questions the
uselessness at this time of attempt
ing to indict or try Garriere until
after the courts recess.
But has the district attorney
ever taken the people into his con-
fidenee and told them what he in
tended doing in the Garriere
'case2" What he will do in the
event the grand jury returns an
indictment charging murderg
Whether in such event he will i'm
mediately demand possession Of the,
prisoner from the Calcasieu au-
thorities and, securing him, give
him Immediate trial9 Or whether
on the other hand, an indictment
having been secured, he will let
the matter rest indefinitely, as he
has done in innumerable other
cases?
