character sufficient to bring him the
dry vote Of the state. The lineup Is
plain. If Davenport and Scott are to
cut Havners throat because he OBJ

ing his oath of office in advance then
the vote of the lawabiding over the
state should protect Havner.

Tho Republican Lesson of 1e12,

Less than three weeks from this
writing the republican and progressive
national conventions viii meet in Chi
caso, and upon the action taken by
them depends very largely the future
policies OF this nation.
That the lprogressives polied in 1912
upward OF 100000 votes and the re-
repu blican party in the same campaign
but 100000 might, upon the face Of
returns, seem to entitle the greater
consideration to be given prog ressive
principles and progressive candidates.
in case there is a reunion of the
greater and minor fractions OF the
former republican party.
It should not be forgotten that Mr..
Taft in 1908 received 7,67s.o00 votes.
and that was the last record ed of a
united republican party and the
largest vote ever polled by the demo-
cratic party in a presidential election
was that for William ]. Bryan In 1895,
$500 ,925; the second largest was given
to Mr.. Bryan in 1908, 6.409. 104, and
the popular vote for Mr.. Wilson in 1912
was 6.292,71S. Four years Of wander

SPEEDING

Speeding is the art Of flirting with
sudden death on a sixteen-foot COW
path. 1t is one OF the most dangerous
! forms Of filtration ever devised, and
yet Is persisted in by thousands OF
steadfast husbands who would not
dance more than twice in the same
evening with anybody but their wives.
Until the automobile became popular
there was very little speeding. done on
our country roads. save when some
embittered farm team would seize the
bits In their rear teeth and unload the
owner and q large family of children
at nournful intervals. Very few men
owned a horse that could travel over
ten miles an hour and keep 1t up with
out becoming as short of breath as a
fat woman running for a street car.
The first automobile was not built Tor
speed or looks or any other household
virtue, but was designed to prove that
the Green Mountain asthma Is no re-
specter Of persons. Whenever man
buys an automobile he tells his wife
that his limit is fifteen miles an hour.
There Is more virtue to the square
inch in the possessor of a new motor
car than there is in a member of con-
gress who was trying to fill two small

about two weeks, however, this virtue
begins to wear shiny and break out
in attempts to choke the speedometer
to death. One month from delivery
every purchaser who slows down to
forty miles an hour at a railroad cross
ing is considered rank piker. =
The speeder who gets away with
it a few times will never be convinced
that he is in any danger until he
looks down and sees plaster Of paris
cast twined neatly round both legs. II
the confirmed speed maniac could
break himself into small, jagged secs

THE NEW STATE OF SCOTT COUNTY,

Has young Mr.. Wilson, candidate for
attorney general pledged himself to
nullify the statutes in Scott county in
consideration of the support of certain
| leaders and iterests in Davenport and
Scott county? Here is the case as it
stands:
The Scott county republican con-
Vention met the other day. ]. Reed
Lane of Davenport was its foreman.
He made a speech to the delegates.
The Davenport Democrat gave a
synopsis of his speech which Mr. Lane
Endorsed in a letter as being sub
stantially correct. The report relates
that Lane assured them that:
Mr.. Harding was a nice man to vote
for among the many republicans who
want to be governor and that Mr..
Wilson was an equally nice man for
attorney general Mr.. Wilson was
right, he said and would never cross
the border Of Scott county when he
was in office. This was the kind Of
man the republicans wanted. Mr..
Lane said
Mr.. Lane wrote a letter explanatory
OF the speech to an inquiring CORE
spondent who was surprised that MIR.
Havner, also candidate for attorney
general and the only candidate for
state office from Mr.. Lanes district
should be thus eliminated in favor of
Mr. Wilson Of the Seventh district.
This letter was dated at Davenport,
May IS, 1915. Its writer states that he
had entertained some doubt that
Havner would be a candidate but the
in this extract from It:
We then invited Mr.. Wilson to come
down to Davenport and have a talk
and he satisfied us that if he was the
successful candidate for this position
that he would meet the requirements
demanded by the people OF Scott
county, and I simply felt 1t my duty
| to explain to the leading republicans
Of the county in convention assembled
the words which Mr.. Wilson had au-
thorized me to say for him and in
his behalf.
What were the requirements o.
Scott county? Mr.. Lane told the dele
gates that Mr.. Wilson would not cross
the border of that county while hi
was in office. This, It Is to be as.
summed were the requirements ani
what Mr.. Wilson had "authorized'
