IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
Three Muskeeteers were Murphy OF
New York, Taggart of Indiana ana
Brennan OF Illinois, and McAdoo was
the man they gunned and not only
for himself but for his father-in-iaw
But the three men ran things anu

he will do, in case he is elected gov
eTnor of Iowa, one is led to believe
that Hayner will be vested with all
the powers of the president, both
houses of congress and the state
legislatures.
Colfax Tribune: We are bound TO
come to hard surface sometime in
the future and instead OF trying TO
forget about hard surface it would De
better 10 keep the proposition con-
stantly before US and study the pest

Sumner Gazette: If Jim Pierce can
invent excuses as plausible for belns
out late at night as he can for MS
defeats politically he certainly never
has a great deal of trouble at home.
His explanations for the defeat OF
'Brookhart should rank as humorous
literary masterpiece.
Corydon Times Republican: The
more people learn about Senator
Harding the more favorably Impress
ed they become. He has never been
a grandstand player.
Melbourne Record: The primary
has even been deserted in the house
OF its friends and is sure to get An
overhauling at the hands Of the next
legislature.

eight or ten hours, but work until 4
DAYS work had been done, unrest and
high cost Of living controversies
would soon end. There's work anu
plenty of it, in this country for every
man who can work and who will not
demand a job with much pay and no
labor.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
If WE WERE NEVER WEAK.


II II were easy to be good
And easy to be great
If every mortal living could
Be master Of his fate,
If man could reach pefecuon-her
And pick and choose his lot.
Then all the fine could rightly sneer
At brothers who were not
It were possible to be
without a single flaw
From blernish absolutely free,
Then at the faults We saw
We might in justice loudly raise
harsh, complaining voice
And say that men in errors ways
Were victims of their choice.
If We could rid ourselves OF plane,
IL we were never weak,
Then to anotfleTs bit of shame
We might in fairness, speak.
L, we were as we'd like to be,
Without fault to mar,
We might condemn the wrecks we see
For being as they are
But since we seldom master fate,
And faults with US remain,
I'm sure we all should hesitate
To mark anothers stain.
We should his faults in kindness scan
And all his virtues see,
For no one ever IS the man

Fusion to Defeat

Republicans and Democrats
Asked 10 Join Forces in
the Threatened Districts;
-Four in New York Named

Fusion by the Democrats and Repub-
fcans IN the forthcoming elections,
when many Congressional districts
Will choose Representatives to Con-
gress. is being urged here in order
that the Socialists may be prevented
from sending men to Congress. Thc
appeal was originally sounded by the
National Security League and has been
indorsed by the Governors of states,
Mayors and many other prominent
Americans
Special stress is laid by the league
on New York City districts. In four
Of these districts, the 18th, 18th, 14th
and Goth, the Socialists have already
made their nominations. Meyer Lon
don, Charles W. Irwin, editor Of "The
New York Call" Algernon Lee and
Morris Hillquit are the respective
nominees, and in the opinion of the
league are the strongest candidates
the party could put up.
Governor Cornwell of West Virginia,
q mem Der of the national executive COM
mlttee of the National Security League
declares his hearty sympathy with the
plan of the league for fusion in GER
tain Congressional districts"
That is the sane policy rather than
to eject men from Office after they are
elected" he declared.
Among the Governors who have
given their approval to tie fusion plan
are: Russell, Of Mississippi; Boyle. of
Nevada; McKelvie, Of Nebraska and
Cornwell, of West Virginia. Among
prominent New Workers who arc behind
the movement are: Former United
States District Attorney Henry A,
Wise; Henry L. Stoddard, editor of
The Evening Mall; Alexander J
Herphill, chairman Of the board Of
directors of the Guaranty Trust Com
pany; ex-Judge W. NJ. K. Olcott, Jules
S. Bache and J. G. White.
In its appeal for fusion the National
Security League says: "the Socialis,
party is international and not national
1t is destructive and not constructive
1t is a class party"

put Cox is regarded at the moment
at being at the top Of the wave so far
as popu iarity on the league issue is
concerned. His indefinite statement
on leaving the President has not alien

content if the acceptance speech Of
Governor Cox is also indefinite And
