TOBIN VS.. KENYON.

Webster City Freeman Journal
1t has finally developed why so
many Of the old guard politicians OF
Iowa are criticising Senator Kenyon
unfairly and why they are so anxious
to discredt him before the people. 1t
had been hoped that the old fractional
fight between pro2rcssiveS and
, standpattors in this state was 10 ie-
main buried at least until after the
presidential election this fall, IL no,
permanently, but the So called old
guards seem to, have decrecd other
wise ano already "A candidate for
United States senator to succeed

garlless Of the fact that the question
Of who shall succeed the junior scna.
tor will rot be determined until 1921.
That is surely taking time by the

ident purpose of the Old guard to

for many OF the former admirers and
i, friends of the junior senator have
been led TO believe some of the pro-
paganda in circulation.
The senatorial primary will come
four years hence. We are sure the
junior senator would be glad to adj
vance the date two years In order to
meet his foes. We are also sure OF
the outcome. There is nothing in his
