Referring to the report of Senator
Aliens speech wherein he was made to
say the governor has nothing to do
with prohibition, the Des Moines Reg
lister asks: in that event why did
Senator Allen insist upon his claim to
be the anti-saioon candidate for gov
ernor, and why did re so bitterly re-
sent the claim of Attorney General
Cosson? The Register can understand
how Senator Allen might feel forced to
vote for Harding. But the Register
cannot understand why ne should feel
called upon to recant."
The Nevada Represent ative notes,
truthfully we believe, that the Scan
dinavians Of Iowa, while normally re-
publican, are this year turning to Mer-
edith for governor" says the Story
City Herald. published in a Scandina-
Wan community The republican state
committee recognizes this fact and is
spending good hard money in Scandi-
navian communities trying to make the
voters believe that the question in
volved in this campaign is roads. The
Scandinavian voters are not so easily
fooled. however. The republican and
democratic platforms are essentially
alike on the road question, as they are
on the prohibition question. Where
the difference comes in is in the men
who are supposed to be standing on
their respective platforms. Hardings
legislative record identifies him with
the breweries and saloon element, and
on the road question he is everything
to everybody. Meredith, on the other
hard stands ssai;arse!y On tisis anti anti

itely stated that each community shall
