VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS


Iowa has never had more effic-
lent state of government than at the
present time. The way to indorse il
is to vote the Republican ticket.
The Republican party stands for
patriotism. not partisanship, as The
sole test for fitness to serve in the
war work. The Republican party
would utilize all the American power
regardless of party utilization.
ping the Kaiser. That cannot be
said of any other party.
When Chicago wanted a big meet
ing to boost for loyalty and the Lib
erty Loan, they sent for Governor
Harding to come and put the pep
into the campaign. You haven't
heard of any community of Iowa cal
ling on any outside governor to
come 10 the Hawkeye state to help.
Win the war with tanks, not type
writer's; then get busy with piece
the way, which would you rather
have in charge of that recon-
struction work: the statement with
whom Senator Kenyon and the Iowa
congressional delegation fraternize
or the organization which filled Con-
gressional committees with southern
gentlemen who opposed many of the
vital war measures?
The interests of farmers, business
men. workingmen, have been protec-
ted far better in Iowa, during the
critical days of the war, than any
other state. Many sacrifices have
been called for; but in Iowa there
has been safe guiding hand at the
helm. Governor Harding has deser-
we'd the vote of every Republican.
If Iowa had had the same sort of
state leadership as that in the Ma
ton. Iowa would only now be getting
ready to commence war prepare
tions; but Iowa had the war work
well started before congress was adj
vised that it was time to prepare.
Republican leadership in Iowa means
activity, loyalty. promptness, vigor
and success.
How far would President Wilson
have gotten had he relied on his dem
ocratic associates in Congress for
war measures? He had to use strong
arm methods to get anything from
his party caucus, and only by plac-
ing important measures in the hands
of Republican leaders was it possible
to get the war program started. Yet
democratic politicians are appealing
to Iowa to send democrats to con-
gress to play minor part in support
ing the wabbiing democratic organ
ization in congress. OF the loyalty
OF republicans in congress there will
be no question.
The Republican state ticket was
nominated by the votes of Republic
ans It should have the vote of
every Republican. Vote for Kenyon,
Harding, Moore. Havner, Allen,
Shaw, lToyt, Mechanism. Lewis and
Webster.
Honest enforcement of law. vigil
ance for the public welfare. impair
tial justice for all-that is the idea
successful carried out by Attorney
General H. NJ Havner. who is one
which appeals to everyone sincerely
interested in the welfare of the State
and Nation. The splendid traditions
Of Iowa Republicans have been fol-
lowed in the legal departments of the
State Mr. Havner should be indor-
sed at the polls.
The democratic political ma
chine sent into Iowa. from an office
in Washington in the very shadow
Of the White House, the gratuitous
insults 10 every loyal Republican,
that THE election of Republican
congress would be source of COM
fort and citation to the Kaiser and
his coherts." Give the Kaiser cred
it for having some sense than the
democratic campaign managers. He
knows that a Republican congress
will dispose of chairmanships the
southern democrats who opposed
the war. hampered the war program,
fought the draft and did much to de-
lay formation of an American Army.
The Republican party was formed
to defend human rights and to estab-
lish liberty in America. Its great
est struggles have been in opposition
to disloyalty. The Republican party
is inherently the party of loyalty to
American ideals. The fact of a ma
ton today fully united and harmoni-
Gus in prosecution of the war is due
to this natural loyalty of the repub-
lican party. 1t can be depended upon
in war and in peace to be true to the
best traditions of American civic
life.
