Any close observer of traf1c acci-

statement that smashups are most
likely to happen not when traffic Is
thickest but at times when the ave.
luz is practically clear.
This goes back, ono Is forced to be-

blcyclist. Those who could without
so much as turning n hair perform
miracles Of steering In and out of
crowded thoroughfares where the
slightest slip meant disaster invariably
came to grief In Attempting to pass a
lone cyclist or a solitary milk wagon.
So when two taNicabs approach each

the chances Of collision are Individually
Increased. A magnetism Of disaster

Meredith Becomes Abusive.

Cedar Rapids Republican: e. 7.
Meredith, who is the democratic cam
didate for governor Of Iowa. seems to
have lost his temper and even his
own self respect in ST. Louis. In
newspaper interview he uttered senti-
ments which go to show that he is
greatly disappointed because Colonel
Roosevelt did not do more to disrupt
the republican party at Chicago. He
seems to think he is fraud and that
he pulled OF great "big bluff" And
that "the most sorry sight is bully
and a buffer blubbering after he is
called" Mr.. Meredith has hitherto
been a mild hammered man, of such
republican leanings on many issues
that two years ago he was quite per-
sistently accused by the democrats of
not being a democrat at all. But now
he shows that he is dyed il the wool
and that he is even violent about it.
He has been playing with the pro-
gressives, encouraging them and even
affiliating with them, but he seems to
have done 1t only in the hope of dis
ruptng the republican party. Now
that they are no longer injuring the
republican party he is through with
them and he calls their chief bully
and a buffer"
Mr.. Meredith's violent utterances
show that he sees his own political
hopes going glimmering In the
prospect of reunited republican
party and he is ready to abuse those
who have killed his hope. But it will
not make much difference, Meredith
is doomed anyway.

Cost Of campaiqninq.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: Senator
Joseph H. Allen has certified that he
spent $1S,231 in his efforts to secure
the republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton in Iowa. The manner Of making
his report permits doubt as to its
accuracy and raises the question as to
how much he spent in addition to the
amount admitted.
The item only tends to illustrate
the viciousness of the primary law.
Allen no doubt disbursed all that he
could afford to spend" the sum Of
his floating and available assets. Had
he been a millionaire the same prin-
ciple would no doubt have ruled and
his expenditures might have amount
ed to hundred thousand or more, rs
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1916-06-22

readily as they amounted to $1S,231.
1t was simply question Of how much
he had to spend.
If Joe Allen had no Interior motive
in seeking office at such expense he
most certainly believes his personal
ambition is worthy of luxurious &C.
commodation. IL he could have bsen
elected governor for two terms his
salary for the four years, beginning
January l, 1917. would have been
$4,000. The $1S,231 he spent, plus &
per cent interest from the date of
the primary election until the end of
his term would have been over $23,
900. This does not take into account
the probable sum he would have
spent between the primary and ele:-
ton dates had he been nominated.
AS it is his $1S,231 is gone, repre-
senting perpetual annual loss to him
and to his estate of $1,093.86. He
might have put the money at interest
and each year have given sway five
acre farm of 5000 land besides paying
the fuel bill of two poor neighbors.
II 1t was honest fame he sought look
how his name would have waxed
great. Joe Allen would have been
presenting home and resources to
support a family every year. He
surely never thought Of that.
The primary has ruled the fntelli-
gence and ability of the poor man
out of state office. Which Of it's early
governors of whom it is proud, could
