SALINGER AND SAVAGE.
IDes Moines Register.l


Former State Senator Savage is
quoted by the Des Moines News as
predicting that Harding will have more
votes in Iowa than Hughes
We are pleased to hear from Sena-
tor Savage, because It brings his head
ebove the political horizon and makes
L proper to comment on his present
employment and the occasion of it.
Senator Savage is now on the pay
roll of the Rock Island railroad. VIII
ne tell the readers of the Register how
he heppened TO drop into that place
after having exhausted the family re-
sources?
Did Senator Savag. apply for job
in til, usual way? Did anybody apply
for Senator Savage for job in the
usual way? Or did Judge Salinger of
the supreme court, at time when the
railroads had litigation of the most
important Kind before his court, notify
the railroads that Senator Savage must
be taken care Of?
If Senator Savage does not choose to
answer this question, perhaps Judge
Salinger will care TO answer 1t.
