nevertheless, it will be no greater
crime for republicans to aspire for
office than democrats.

been republican, but his candidacy
| is to be Endorsed by the democrats.
He is said to have boosted that he
never studied history day in his
life. Too many already sit in that
chamber who have no claim to the
place except that they are wealthy.
Some of the objection to him is ex-
pressed in the following:
During the cruel national campaign
when the democratic party created
false hopes for voters by declaring
Wilson kept us out of war and i'm
piled that he could continue to do So,
Mr. Ford spent thousands of dollars
for hysterical advertising in support
of this false representation. All this
and similar previous acts aided in
1.-THE creation of public sentiment that
retarded preparation for war and
caused our belated participation, thus
leading to sacrifice of thousands OF
our men who would have been saved
to us if we had gotten in earlier, and
particularly before the Russian de-
bacle"
One of our soldier boys, writing
home to his parents, has the follow
ing to say of the Red Cross:
81 have seen only a little OF the
work of the Red Cross, but what saw
was astounding. was in Paris Sun
day morning at the --- depot
awaiting train for. A great
many refugees were coming in, one
after another, hundreds you might say,
old men and women, too feeble to
walk, cripples and children, and 1t
was one of the most pathetic sights
ever saw. But who took care of them!
1t was the tireless efforts of the Red
Cross men and women. They fed,
helped them along and encouraged
them. 1t was sad to look upon, but If
not for the Red Cross it would have
been uncomfortable. l surely admire
the Red Cross women for their
patience and sacrifices they make.
Really, people in the states cannot
grasp what it all means. One OF my
hopes is that the Red Cross campaign
there was bowling success"
We have son "pver there and do
not know if we shall again look into
his dear face. But we do know, If he
should fall bleeding upon the battle
field, that an angel of Mercy" Red
Cross nurse, will hasten to his assist
ance. God bless the Red Cross!
The republican state convention,
held in Des Moines last week, was a
notable event, not because of the large
number of candidates to be nominal
ed but because of the large attend
ance and the representative character
of the delegates in the convention. 1t
IF
the republican party of Iowa and
evinced the same enthusiasm for re-
publican policies as they did before
the war. While the republicans OF
Iowa are to man behind the presl'
dent and willing to make every sacri-
flee to win the war, they still recog-
IniZe that as soon as the war is over
lit will require the control OF the re.
publican party to guide the ship OF
state safely through the period of ad-
ljustment which must follow the war.
Governor Harding made a great
speech as temporary chairman OF the
convention and the demonstration
made by the delegates proved that
they fully endorsed his patriotic utter
ances and pledges of loyalty on the
part of the party toward winning the
war and, in addition, his outline OF
republican principles which has Kept
the party in power so many years.
We predict republican victory in
Iowa this year the same as we nave
enjoyed for so many years. %,
We are publishing this week in the
Review, an address recently delivered
by William Harm, mayor of Bloom
! field, Nebr. Mr.. Harm grew up to
manhood in Germany and came here
| when seventeen years of age and at one
! time resided in this county. A great
many of the old settlers are acqualnt-
ed with him. Mr.. Harm presents his
reasons why a person born in Ger
many, but now an adopted son OF the
United States, should stand by our
country and should back up the sol
diers who are fighting the battles OF
our country. Every person who reads
this address must recognize the abill-
ty of the speaker and give him credit
| for making a strong presentation OF
his views. AE. 49,
We trust that the readers of the
| Review will not omit to- read the adj
| dress and to consider what the speak
er says. A rumor was started here a
few days ago that since Mr.. Harm de-
livered the address, that he has been
discovered doing crooked work with
respect to the food law and that he
has been missing for sometime from
Bloomfield, Nebr., which is his home.
A letter from the First National Bank
of Bloomfield, Nebr., explodes this
propaganda and states that Mr.. Harm
| is home when not delivering speech
es. He was home on Saturday last
and a representative Of the First
National Bank of Bloomfield asserts
that he talked with him on the street
on that date. Some other subterfuSe
will have to be resorted to in order to
discredit the speaker.
