IOWA SOLDIERS ARE CITIZENS.

The announcement from the attorney
generals office that all the boys on the
border may vote as at home relieves
an embarrassing situation and brings
comfort to Iowans.
II would certainly be lamentable il

front expecting to pert their lives in
defense Of the country were disfran-
chised while those who evaded the duty
to sit safely and profitably at home to
enjoy the highest privilege of citizen

to follow that ire patriot who pledged

gratulaled. So is Iowa. If the old law
is good enough for the purpose let it
stand: if il has weaknesses or any
doubt exists the next legislature should
see that Iowa militiamen can not
march far enough afield to lose their
complete citizenship.

A SEVERE REBUKE.
Huntington Eawkeye.

II is now being shown that Gardner
Cowles of the Register. who Is making
such a persistent attack on Harding
because Of his alleged wet record. has
a record in the legislature equally as
wet, even ducking in the cloak room TO
avoid voting on a temperance bill and
thus causing its defeat, because his
vote would have secured its enactment.
He even ducked when the Iowa City
five mile measure was up. lodging a
vote on tina, act. It's simply case
of the pot calling the kettle black. And
Editor John c. Kelly. OF the Sioux
City Tribune who has been lambast-
ing HardN for months for voting
against the Iowa City five mile act.
himself wired to Senator Hunter, OF
Sioux City, when this act was up for
passage, to vote against the act as did
Harding. The course Of both Cowles
and Kelly in this matter is not only
hypocritical in the extreme put dls"
honest, showing them to be bent on de-
ceivin9 the public at all hazards.-Coon
Rapids Enterprise.
The Hawkeye does not believe either
Of these stories. The alleged telegram
by Mr. Kelly to Mr.. Hunter has been
proven to be forgery. The Harding
managers have made mistake In
Using il. And the statement that Mr..
Cowles "ducked" on the Ave mile limit
bill is unsupported by evidence and UNI
worthy Of credence. The Iowa cam
paign is taking altogether too heavy a
load Of personal Islander.

DEFEAT WOULD BE BEST.

While many republicans, who have
great love for their party, believe that
the election of Harding is the best
thing for the party today, they are
mistaken in their belief. The republi-
can party can not afford to stand
sponsor for q governor elected by 4
consolidation Of all the disreputable
elements of the democratic party along
with wet republicans, and republicans
who feel that they can not vote for a
democrat The best thing in the world
for the republican party win be to go
down 10 defeat, thus serving notice to
the world that the disreputable eie-
ments Of both parties can not dictate
the election of a republican candidate.
in that case the republicans will come
back in two years and will defeat Mr..
Meredith for his second term. They
will come back with a candidate who
has a clean record. But il Harding IS
elected the republican party will lose
the support Of thousands Of good re-
publicans in two years and many OF
them in years to come. while the party
will have nothing 10 show in return
except. the support of the saloon ele-
ment which viii remain with no party

THE COUNTY HOSPITAL.


The fact that under the present sys-
tenn il is about impossible to ascer-
tain the cost to Dubuque county OF
caring for tuberculosis sufferers should
arouse citizens to action. The exist
ing system of caring for tuberculosis
latients is greatly complicated; SO
much SO that the annual cost can not
be ascertained at this time. 1t is be-
l.eved. however. about $4,000 has been
spent annually.
While $4,000 year for caring Tor
the afflicted is goodly sum the ex-
penditure does not mean that all the
unfortunates are cared for. great
many patients have not been cared Tor
because there was no place to care Tor
them.

compared with the present cost. II

The Touring pin is a deadly form of
concealed weapon, which in the hands
ct a brawny wife with a long standing
grievance, is one Of the most terrify-
iEg objects in existence. Society has
often asked why II Is that our state
legislatures prohibit man from carry
ing an automatic six-shooter in his
left hip pocket and vet allow the
Touring pin to lie around the house,
where 1t can be used to intimidate hus-
bands who have done nothing except
to become invigoratingly picked.
The Touring pin was created for
the sublime mission Of making pie
crust. In the early stages Of civiliza-
ton II was impossible to secure bakers
ries and save the coupons with which
to secure an aluminium teapot. AS a
result, our forefathers were constantly
troubled with variable-speed indiges-
ton. as can be seen at once by con-
sulting any photograph album running
back to the Henry Clay period. When
one thinks of the intrepid, tungsten

before the invention of the Touring pin
and remembers that it was eaten

and their rugged, shrapnel- proof APP

But Mr.. Harding is neither an honest
wet nor an honest dry And that Is
the principal reason he should be de-
feated. With an absolutely wet record
in his ten years at Des Moines, he goes
before the people and tries to make
them believe he is opposed to the sa-
looms. He doesn't deserve the support
Of anybody-wet or dry. He is a
straddier and shifty half breed. He is
wet on one side and dry on the other.
We know what he has been. but we
don't know what he would be If elected
governor. He might permit bootleg

would call out the state militia 70

TINES REPUBLICAN, MARsHAI1rowN IOWA: OCTOBER -

Mr.. Harding was nominated upon
the road issue. 1t cannot elect him. 1t
was a fake issue. and especially so as
presented by Mr.. Harding. The par
ticular fake he set up was a hundred
million dollar bond issue. With this
he frightened the farmers and won
many thousand votes.
While he was making this valiant
night against these imaginary bonds
the congress OF the United States was
appropriating sS5,o0o.0o0 for hard
roads. The bin passed the house on
Jan. %, and it required the states to
levy an additional sT5,o00,o00 also for
hard roads. This is the only real hard
road question before the people. Mr..
Harding never said a word about II.
The action Of congress was satisfac-
tory TO him. He is now supporting
every republican congressman who
voted for this bill.
As governor he would join with them
and have iowa put up her share OF the
money and build 's4,500,0o0 worth OF
hard roads in the next five years.
The farmers opposed to hard roads
do not like to be fiimhammed They
now know the $100,000,0o0 bond issue
was fake. Likewise the local control
issue. Harding stormed the state for
township control. but never mentioned
the fact that the question was being
settled by national control and he Is
now supporting the men who estab
lished the national control. His fight
against the state highway commission
has no better standing. His record
shows him to be the author of bill
for state tax commission and his bill
actually established the state fire mar
shall system.
Another Very powerful reason why
Mr. Harding should be defeated Is
his alliance with the remnants of the
old railroad machine that ruled Iowa
so long. Most steathily it is attempt
ing to recapture the governorshp and
tho supreme court. If it succeeds the
old war will be on again. Now is the
time to kill it.

Every since ] have been voter the

Itself is nothing unless supported by a
favorable and fighting attitude of the
