REGISTER AND LEADER CON-
MENDS DEMOCRATIC TICKET

|
The following editorial which ap
peared as a leader on the editoria
page of the Register and Leader G.
last Monday, commends the Dem
ocratic ticket recommended by the
Conference of last Saturday in Ian
guage as strong as that paper coult
find words to use.
Read it to the last line; it is as
follows:
The Register cannot too strongly
commend the democratic leaders OF
the state on the ticket and en- the
platform they have presented, and
will ratify at the June primaries.
Mr.. Meredith is one of the most
aggressive champions of a bigger anG
better Iowa, and the men who are tc
be associated with him are all men
of standing. To use Mr.. Meredith's
own expression the ticket "adds up
100 per cent"
The applause greeting Mr.. Mere.
dith when he declared himself to be
one of the driest of the drys ought
to set a great many of the republican
leaders to thinking seriously of the
situation into which the party is
drifting Would the same declara.
ton in a state republican gathering
be received with the same demon.
stration? Would his declaration for
365 day roads be greeted with the
same demonstration?
It will be truly remarkable rever'
sal of form if in the coming campaign
the democratic leaders are to be ag-
gressive for the two great causes
now before the state while republi-
can leaders are to be apologize and
pussyfooting. And yet that is ex-
actly what many shrewd republicans
have in mind and are working to
bring about.
Mr.. Meredith has youth, energy,
Everybody will like him. and warm
up to him. He is looking forward
He will inspire confidence. He viii
make a memorable campaign. The
Register can hardly exaggerate his
strong points as a candidate at this
time.
If the man the republicans pit
against him does not appeal to the
best sentiment of the state, if the
republican program is not progress
sive and aggressive, if there is the
least faltering on the great moral is
sues, if there is the least backward
look in the platform, if there is any
thing to suggest that repubilcanism
in Iowa is not up to form, and up to
the best form, there will be a sue
cessor to Horace Boies in the gov
ernor's chair and anybody who does
not recognize that fact will be in the
way of great surprise on election
day.
In the present political upset,
when no man knows what day may
bring forth, mere political designa-
tons are not going to weigh much
as against the personal character
and known capacity of men. Merely
being republican or democratic will
signify less in November than it has
since the civil war. In particular it
will signify less in the great admin
istratiye offices of the state. Mr..

TICKET is NAMED BY DEMO-
CRATIC CONFERENCE,

The democratic conference in Des
Moines last Saturday was largely
attended, there being representa-
tives present from practically every
county in the state: The object Of
the conference was to canvass the
political situation and recommend g
ticket for the support Of democrats
at the June primaries.
A motion prevailed for the ap-
pointment of an advisory committee
consisting of one member from each
congressional district, each dis
trict to name it's own member. The
Third district selected E. M. Carr as
it's committee representative.
This committee was selected for
the purpose of advising the confer
ence in reference to the selection, of
candidates for the several state and
electoral offices to be filled this year.
1t was also understood that the COM
4 mittee should not recommend the Sc
lection; Of, any candidate, who did
not add up to 100 per cent.
Ability and willingness to- serve
the state were the qualifications de-
manded in the selection Of every can
tdidate.
Many notable speeches were made
by the leading democrats Of the
state and the utmost harmony pre-
vailed.
The trend of the speaking seemed
to favor prohibition, good roads and
equal suffrage, and it is more than
probable that the next democratic
platform in Iowa will contain planks
in favor of these three propositions.
The advisory committee made re-
port recommending the following
ticket and the report was unanimous
ly adopted by a rising vote of every
member of the conference.
Governor-E. T. Meredith of Des
Moines.
Lieutenant governor-J. J. Doty of
Shenandoah.
Secretary of state-William G.
Moth of Davenport.
Auditor of state-John B. Keefe OF
Sioux City.
Treasurer Ct state-Herman P.
Hansen of Manning.
Attorney general-John T. Clark
Son Of Abba.
Railroad commissioners-Jobn P.
Manatrey of Abba; w. B. Martin OF
Dubuque.
Presidential electors were recon-
mended for each congressional dis
trict, E. B. Porter of Delhi being the
candidate recommended for this dis
trict.
No need is there for personal
commentator of the candidates
named. They have the enthusiastic
support of Hon. w. w. Marsh, Dem
ocratic National Committeeman, and
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, and for generous and heart
felt Endorsement read the Register
