self set up in this respect there will
be those who are unkind enough to
point to the grievance of Gardiner
Cowles, owner and publisher OF that
paper, against w. L. Harding. 1t
will be rem rendered that Mr.. Cowles
was appointed to very desirable po-
sition in the public service by Gov.
Clarke when Mr.. Harding was a
member of the senate. For some rea-
son Mr.. Harding could not see his
way clear to support Mr.. Cowles in
the senate and as the appointment
required the concurrence of the up
per house Mr.. Cowles failed to get
the coveted position. Mr.. Cowles
rightly held Mr.. Harding RESPONSE
Bile for his failure to land and since
that time Mr.. Cowles' newspaper
has seldom missed an opportunity to
denounce :'the gentleman from
Woodbury." This is only one Of the
reasons, however, attributed as the
cause Of the Register and Leaders
bitter assaults upon the republican
nominee for governor. The editor
and publisher of the Register and
Leader are, of course, influential
members of what has become known
throughout the state as the "Des
Moines gang" This is not gang
legally organized, nor even organic
ed formally. 1t is simply a, gang
that happens to be drawn together
by a community of interests, by the
self-same desires, by Unsuitable greed
for power and influence. The gang
wants to dictate the policies OF
Iowa and wants to select the men
who are to carry out the policies
thus sought to be dictated. 1t ap-
pears now, from the attitude of the
Register and Leader toward Senator
Kenyon, that the gang has set out
to discredit the senator, with the
view, of course, of retiring him to
private life. This, the gang will dis
cover, is something of task, the
greater task because the people OF
Iowa are now fully aware of its ex-
istance, it's purposes and its motives

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

A few days ago Senator Kenyon
called to Fort Dodge by the serious
Illness of his mother, took occasion
while in Iowa to say some good
words for Hon. w. L. Harding, re-
publican nominee for governor. This
senatorial endorsement called forth
the expected attacks from the Regis
ter and Leader, and among the null
tiplicity of stuff fired from the big
guns of the Des Moines organ ap-
pears the following:
But Harding engineered the
break in the LATE Young forces in
the legislature which resulted in the
election of the senator, and as poll
tics goes an obligation was created
that cannot be lightly ignored"
Here is an insinuation that Sena-
tor Kenyon is supporting Harding
because of a political debt involving
personal obligation. The estimate
put upon the manhood and character
of Senator Kenyon is unfair and un-
just. The people of Iowa know that
Senator Kenyon is high grade man,
credit to the state and to the Of
fec he so satisfactorily fills. But if
the Register and Leader is going to
insist upon the standard it has it

cuMM1Ns FOR HARDING.

1t has been claimed, by Meredith
supporters that Senator Cummlns
would not endorse the candidacy of
Hon. w. l.. Harding for governor
The senator and Mr.. Harding have
not been good political friends in
the past and the opposition was hop
ing that this fact would prompt the
senator to at least remain silent dur
ing the campaign. But they have
been disappointed. In letter writ
ten few days ago to J. A. johnson
of Sioux City the senator says:
Harding and I have not always
agreed upon public matters and 1t
is quite likely that there are sub
jects upon which we do not now
agree: but the points of disagree

A SHATTERED IDOL.

Mr.. Meredith, the democratic can
didate for governor, who is being
backed by many ministers for the
gubernatorial chair, and has been
painted by his admirers as but little
lower than the angels of heaven
made a damaging confession in the
heat of public debate at Oakland q
few days ago. Mr.. Meredith had
heard he had been charged with be
ing drinking man and that the
Harding campaign committee had in
it's possession a picture of his wine
cellar. This very naturally angered
the gentleman and in denying the
charges made this confession:
81 have been made out a drunkard
in Iowa because | have taken glass
of champagne at banquet. ! have
taken glass or two of it and that
is the extent of my drinking
But have done that thing as cour-
tesy to my guests and to my hosts
am not drunkard, and ! am
against the saloon, and have record
for it,"
It will be surprise to Mr.. Mere
dith's partisans that he has been
guilty of drinking even glass or
two of champagne "as courtesy to
my guests and to my hosts" The
Freeman Tribune is not going to at
tack Mr.. Meredith for taking an oc-
casional glass of wine. 1t doesn't be-
lieve that is any crime. But what
will the w. c. T. U. and what will
the Methodist conference think? 1t

Senator Kenyon: 81 believe in thu
primary system. My vote in the pri
mary was cast for Senator Allen,
hoped for his success. However, Mr.
Harding in a fair fight carried 81 Of
the 80 counties and was second
think in the counties he did not
carry. This would indicate that the
contest was very earnest one ant
that the people were very convers
ant with the issues. Mr.. Harding
therefore stands as the fairly nom
mated candidate of the party fol
governor. Why should he not re
ceive the support of his party? The
reason urged is the liquor question
When did our friends, the democrats
become such champions of prohibit
ton?
81. have observed since boyhoot
days that with the exception of {
few years the republican party il
Iowa has opposed the saloon and the
democratic party fought for 1t. A
study of past platforms on that ques
ton would be interesting. The re
publican platform this year is much
stronger on that point than the dem
ocratic platform and is unequivocal
ly against any backward step on pro
hibition. Mr.. Harding stands square
ly on that platform. despise the
saloon and everything it stands for
1t is the most corrupting influence in
our American politics today. If
believed Mr. Harding's influence
would be used in any way to hell

would not have my support. / dc
not for an instant so believe.
Harding in his legislative career
has undoubtedly cast votes that many
would find fault with. The older
grow the more am I convinced that
few people get through this world
without making mistakes. He has
probably made his share of them. BE
this said, however, to the credit OF
Harding-he never signed a saloon

is no political significance connect
ed with these positions. They are
held alike by republicans and demo
Gratis, thanks to a broadening vision
in favor of the merit system. What
is true of the railway mail service
department is true of practically all
other departments. All the clerks

Now, however, the present admins

thirty years-has taken a backward
step as regards civil service reform
and has emasculated the democratic
platform and has sought to reward
party workers at the expense of eff

every democratic politician, newspa-
per and oracle in the country is

that all PARTIES are tarred with the
