Sioux City, Sept. 23.-Sensational
results are being secured in the way
OF signing up republicans to vote for
Meredith this fall, according to +. NJ.
Collord, of Waterloo, who has beer
doing special field work in northern
Iowa during the past month. Mr.. Col
lord Is one Of a group of volunteers
working under the auspices of the
Business Mems Temperance Associa-
ton.
While in Sioux City yesterday Mr..
Collord declared hat the indications
are very strong for E. T. Meredith's
election as governor. IF the democrats
give Meredith anything like a normal
vote" he said, Ibis election is assur ed.
At the present time the Meredith
workers have secured pledges from APP
proximately $4,000 republicans to bolt
their party ticket on the ~governorship.
Under a normal republican major"
ity Of 10000 the shifting of $4,000 re-
publican votes to the democratic can
didate would more than wipe cut the
republican lead. 1t is assumed hat a
considerable number of wet demo-
Gratis will turn to Harding. but the ap-
parent margin is strong enough to
V these. Furthermore, the shifting
of republicans to Meredith WIN con
tinue. If the democrats make a rsa-
sonable party showing for their candi-
date this fall they will VIM"
Republicans Bolt Harding.
Mr.. Collord states that in every
county visited by Meredith workers it
has been an easy matter To- list a large
number of republicans who will not
support the party nominee.
The Business Mems Temperance AS
ISOLATION at Waterloo has about 1000
members, mostly republicans. Mr.
Collord says that fully 700 memb ars If
the organization are Meredith support
ers.
Mr.. Collord says that he held one
meeting in the German church at Hay
field and at the close of the meeting
90 per cent of the voters present signej
up for Meredith.
1t is Mr.. Collord's firm belief the
revolt against Harding at the polls this
fall will be the NEST sensational show.
