ARE STILL AFTER GOV, HARDING
pes Molnes Register and Tribune
Persists In Trying To Snub
Iowa Executive.

Des Moines, Ia, March 81. = The
following letter has been addressed
by Governor Harding to Mr.. Gardner
Cowfes. publisher of the Register
Tribune, Des Moines, Iowa:
Dear Sir:-At our breakfast table
this morning the following converse
ton took place: Mrs. Harding said,
1 thought you sent a communication
to the legislature yesterday in refer
ence to the food shortage re-
piled, That is true, did She said
I have been looking through the
morning Register but find no men,
ton of it. Later / took the morn
ing Register and looked through it
and found the following: Nobody will
question that w. w. Marsh of Wat
erloo has rendered a substantial SER
vice by persuading Governor Harding
to emphasize the importance of the
coming food crop in Iowa This is
the only mention OF the message in
the morning Register.
Just why the Hon. w. w. Marsh
one of the leading citizens of our own
state and the nation, should be thus
insulted is beyond my power of com
prehension to understand. Monday
the twenty-sixth instant, Mr.. Marsh
called on the Governor of the State
of Iowa. He belongs to a different
political party than the one with
| which the Governor is affiliated. Dur
ing the last campaign he was official
ly connected with his party in such
a way that he had much to do with
the campaign. His influence was
all with the candidates on his party
ticket. The campaign is over. He
| came to the Office of the Governor as
citizen of the United States and in
a spirit of patriotism offered to dc
any and everything in his power tc
assist in maintaining the rights and
the dignity of our common country
| His visit was of assistance to the
| Governor and, / am sure, beneficial
| to the State. He did not come to
the Office in spirit to persuade
nor did he persuade but in that
larger and more patriotic spirit o.
being helpful and offering his service
in any way or in any capacity thai
it might be required.
1T has been suggested that you
are unfriendly to me personally.
have thought that l could detect this
cropping out in your paper from time
to time. In this / am not interest
ed. When / spoke to the Legislature
| about the food shortage, it was as
Governor of all the people of Iowa
| and in the name of humanity every
where
1T is hard for me to conceive that
your unfriendliness to me can cause
you to be almost traitor to YOU
state and your country in an houl
like this. Let me suggest that the
man or the paper that hampers OIL
makes it hard for those in authority
and who have the burden OF the re
sponsibility of government at this
time, is just as much traitor as the
one who tears down the flag of his
country. l submit this for your con
sideration.
Very truly yours,
