Mr.. PORTER, Please Answer:

NIX. PCK Il Tx. f|IeQSe AnSUeT'
You saw in letter over your signature that you are
against Governor Harding for reelection because ne
has not risen to '.oyay leadership" in Iowa Please
answer.
State single place where Governor Harding has
not been loyal to the federal government to the sooes
and sailors, to our allies. =
Give one instance where official Washington has
asked Governor Harding for thing they have not re-
ceived
Is it, in your opinion "disloyal leadership to adj
minister the draft law that Iowa is IN the hfst ST.
states in every comparison OF states! Or
To fill every quota call of the government?
To increase the wheat acreage in Iowa $50 per
cent?
To increase the production of Iowa coal two million
tons, as President Lewis of the Mine Workers says?
To oct war contracts for Iowa manufacturers and
keep Iowa labor in Iowa?
To help 100000 farmers get seed corn that will
grow?
To suggest maximum price for seed corn ana save
the farmers thousands of dollars?
To help farmers and stock men get cars IN winch
to ship their stock and save millions OF dollars!
To get box cars for farmers their soft corn!
To keep the coal mines running and furnish employ
ment for Is, 900 men!
To keep Iowa factories running and furnish en-
ployment for thousands of men and women?
please Ans1Uer These, Mr.. Porter:
Why do you favor fixing the price of the Iowa farm
ers wheat and the price of the southern planter
cotton?
Why do you condemn Governor Harding for organ
ling Iowa before the president let congress know war
was impending that Iowa has responded to every call
and was first to oversubscrde the big Liberty Bond
drives? Why do you disapprove of systematic organ
lied war work for Iowa? Do you want the loyal people
to run the Liberty Loan? or the Stacker?
Where are you on the controversy the use in
schools and public meetings of the language Of the kais
er or the language of the Declaration of Independence?
At time when loyal Iowans driving sedlon to COW
cover why you invite the freest of other than the
English language? Have you done said anything that
has offended single pro-German agitator because OF
the speech familiar to ''the kaiser and his cohorts
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1918-10-28
Take Notice, Mr.. Porter,
Ans1Uer Also:

If YOU were Governor would you sustain Judge
Martin J. Wade of the southern Iowa DISTRICT Hon. f.
A. OConner United States attorney northern DISTRICT
and Hon. W. W. Marsh, national democratic treasurer,
in ousting James NJ Pierce from the Iowa Council OF
Defense and placing on record 1.-THE fact that it is our
solemn judgment that the efforts of Mr. Pierce are dis
loyal and aiding and encouraging disoyaty and Sc
d0n? After this indictment of Pierce for sedlton by
three eminent democrats why did you fail to prosecute
him?
If these eminent democrats right, why do you
think Pierce is loyal enough that you have entrusted
your political campaign to his support? Why do you
select Pierce to be recipient of your most confidential
letters exploiting your views loyalty? Will you per-
nit Pierce to dominate and dictate your administration,
or would you incur his hostility by refusing his de-
mands? What sort of bargain have you with Pierce,
anyway?
One of your political associates also formerly from
Iowa. sent word from Washington that the election OF
republicans to congress "wold be of comfort
and eaton to the kaiser and his cohorts Is that your
view, and do you join in branding as traitor every
Iowa soldier boy who dares to vote for Republican
! candidate for congress or for Governor Harding?
DO you subscribe to the doctrine put forth by
party leader that for the purpose OF ping win
the the election of any democrat is to the
OF loyal Republican? Governor Harding puts
patriotism and loyalty to the nation above all else why
you stand for the idea that partsanshp is i'm
portant than every other thing? ..a
Governor Harding has stood with his party and the
American people for the whole war program for every
thing that will help win for nothing that would hinder,

declared. We had intended to marry. but
Then we decided not to on account OF the
war. He enlisted In the naval aviation and
was called to go at an early date. when
he got his word TO go he came at once to
