Iowa or Party First, Which?

The healthiest and most hopeful symp
tom growing out of the candidacy Of
E. T. Meredith for governor, applied te
the future growth and development OF
the State of Iowa, is discovered in the
almost universal glad acclaim from both
the people and the press of the state,
which greeted the announcement of his
candidacy.
Almost with one voice the people OF
the state proclaimed their delight that
man of his probity and st ture hao
been found who would consent to enter
the service of the state in the capac-
ity Of Governor.
So genuine and spontaneous was this
greeting that the meaning of it cannot
pe mistaken; it must be accepted that
the people and the press of this state
are now and will in the future make
the welfare, growth and development
of the state paramount to any party or
partisan consideration whatsoever.
The following item from the Clinton
Mirror" republican, hardly expresses
commendable spirit:
Meredith at tbs head of the
Democratic delegation to the Ma
tional Convention at Saint Louis
foreshadows his nomination for
Governor.
The whole party could not put
up more presentable man, and
Republicans would gladly vote for
him-if he was on our ticket"
In writing and publishing this editor
ial, the Mirror has not correctly sensed
the temper of the people of the state;
it has been so blinded by partisanship
that it has failed or refused to discern
the great statewide movement and
sentiment to make the welfare of the
state the determining factor in mat
tiers relating to state government, and
the subordination of political parties
and partisanship to state welfare.
The great body of the men and wo-
men of the state are patriots; they have
ceased to be mere partisan pawns, offer
ing themselves and the best interests of
the state as willing sacrifice upon the
altar of political party; they are ask
ing themselves, what man among all
the candidates on all the tickets is best
equipped to give the state the quality
Of service it deserves?" and they are
finding the answer just as the Mirror
has done in E. T. Meredith.
In times past the cry The is not on
our ticket has been potentially effec-
tive; but in these modern days when
the test of efficiency is being SO relent-
lessly applied, it will not appeal. The
people are going to, as they should,
vote for the man who can best serve the
state. Our problems in Iowa are nom
partisan and the people are going to
vote for men instead of for parties.
