that the more than a million Iowa
voters will next Tuesday roll up q
very satisfactory majority for War
ren G. Harding, for Senator Cum
Minis, for N. E. Kendall and the
whole Republican ticket, elect every
candidate for congress and give Iowa
2 legislature in which Demo :rats
will be entirely negligle. Republicans
have conducted clean affirmative
campaign for candidates every one
of whom stands for best American
ideals and against whom not one
Word can honestly be uttered. What
there has been of the Democratic
campaign has been just the opposite
but the falsehoods and calumines
of the Democrats and their helpers,
with regard to the railroad bill, the
league of nations and other subjects
have been so well exposed that on
election day no voter, male or fe-
male can have the slightest excuse
for failure to vote a straight republi-
can ticket. In order that they may
be sure not to lose their votes, many
first voters are planning to use the
circle and 10 put an (X) in the Re-
publican circle aud no other mark.
That is the safe and patriotic way to
DO.
There is really but one issue in
Iowa over which there Is contro-
versy Wart@p G.. Harding is to be
tho yrssideAt. sAe House will be Re-
publican; what about the Senate? A
Republican president and Repub-
iican house will be powerless to car
ry out Republican politics without
Republican Senate. The Senate
now has one Republican majority
only. The Democrats have seized
upon the railroad bill as an issue in
Iowa, not in any other state, in the
hope that by misleading farmers and
workingmen here they may be able
to erect barrier in the Senate
to any and every move for an Am
erican tariff, and American foreign
policy, program of constructive
Legislation. Warren Harding came ia
Iowa to ask Iowa people to return
Senator Cummins TO the Senate
That's the issue. Beer it in mind.
The Democratic tariff is getting
in its work. The war kept us from
its blight for several years. Now
comes eJcheap wool from Australia
the cheap corn from South America
the cheap wheat from Canada. and
the farmer of Iowa begins to realize
what it means to let down the tariff
bars. II will be the duty of a Re-
publican Congress and a Republican
president to put up the bars again
The fate of Congress may depend or
your vote in Iowa; for the Senate
now has but one Republican majority
and a half dozen Republican sena
tors are being bitterly fought by tbs
Democrats, generally on differen
issues in each state. American farm
ers owe O duty to themselves mex
Tuesday. You can't stop the price
slump with Democratic ballots.
The long and honorable career o.
n. E. Kendall in the public service
should count against the aspiration!
of one who has never been en-
trusted by the people with even the
most trivial responsibility. Statesmen
are no more made over night thai
are accessories statesmen. Nate Ken
dali is familiar with every phase o.
! legislative and administrative duty
even though he doesn't know hoV
to make million out OF war con
