Governor Garst Can't
Support Harding

LBy Warren Garst, late governor Of
Iowa and recently manager of the
Cosson campaign.l
The people of Iowa are justly proud
OF their beautiful state, both from a
scenic standpoint and from the more
practical standpoint of production.
I think there can be no reasonable
doubt but that Iowa Is the most beau
tiful and most productive of all the
states of the union. and while this is
something that we should all appre-
ciate there Is, in my Judgment, some
thing more valuable but Of an in
tangible character and that is the high
ideals Of the people OF the state.
think there is no state or condition OF
society any place where the people
stand quite as high for the ideals OF
truth as in this state
There Is not county in the state
where they have bar association
where the said association would
stand for gross deception of the court
or jury.
There is not medical society in
Iowa that would stand for gross de-
ception Of patient on the part of one
of it's members.
The merchants Of Iowa have organ
lied in many of>the cities vigilant as
sociations to see that the advertisers
make no Misrepresentation as to the
quality or price Of material shown,
denying membership to those VINO
violate this fundamental rule OF their
organization. The person acquiring
goods under false pretense has no title
to the goods and Is amenable under
the law of the state to punishment.
Question:: Should the man, VINO

of his friends. supplemented by the
most pernicious influences of the state
by misrepresentation such as would
not entitle a Missourian to the posses
sion of "Houn Dawg' he entitled 10
the support of the members of his
party? Are the members OF the party
obliged to support the nominee VINO
acquired his nomination in this way or
on the other hand. is the obligation as
taught by the traditions of the party
and the good name Of the state to be
paramount? And is it not an oplisa-
ton to oppose the man whose noml-
nation was secured in this way" BY
disappearing the question OF GOOD
roads in Iowa. he led the people to pe-
lieve the opposing candidates advo-
Gated the bonding of the state for
One Hundreds Million dollars, and by
this misrepresentation. 1t is fair to as
sumo. he secured the support of thou
sands of the good people of Iowa who
would otherwise have opposed him.
This is question for the individual
voter to determine My own most
solemn opinion is. and I say 1t with
deep regret, that I personally am
obliged by every rule Of fairness to
oppose the election of Mr.. Harding.

Tampa, Fla, March 30-Two weeks
from yesterday the National league
season opens. This is not intended as
a scoop on the schedule committee.
but 1t has a bearing on the prepared
ness of the Cubs, who are on their
way to the battle front. More or less
easy stages will mark the ZigZag trip
toward Redland and the pennant start.
Will they be ready? Well, they have
spent three weeks In Tampa with that
in view. In that time they have been
beaten seven straight games by the
Phillies, but there never has been a
misspent day. The sun has been shin
ing on rookie and veteran alike, and if
hard work counts for anything il
should be a canter for Tinkers bunch.
They have been well fed and groomed
and they have had leader who is no
stranger to remnants.
Still reversing the industry of the
agriculturist who makes two blades
grow where only one sprouted before
can Tinker make one team out OF two?

hinges the fortunes OF the amalga-

in the big league for two or three
seasons
OF course, Doolan has not been able
to round into form as quickly as he
did in other years, and whether Multi
gan will be able to hold the Job after
the veteran star gets into shape Is
quite another thing. Mike has had a
sore arm ever since the second day
of practice, while Mulligan got his
arm in throwing form in about two
days. So far Mulligan has shown
about equal hitting strength with the
veteran, and he is one of the fastest
base runners on the squad.
On the whole, though, it looks as if
the 1916 Cubs will be team slow to
get into its stride. The fans of Chi
cago need not feel discouraged II the
Cubs fail to get away in front in the
pennant race. If they are able to keep
within few games Of the top-liners
until June the Cubs are likely to get
going then and be in front long be-
fore the season Is over.
