issues raised by candidates to divert
attention form the main issues. 1t is
Il compliment to the intelligent of the
people that they were not only able to,
but did render Judgment on the merits
instead of the animosities Of the case.
Another lesson from the result is
that in these days no candidate can sue
cessfully exploit any class or group or
party. No candidate can ride into Of
flee by branding himself as the sole
champion of such class or group or
party. Col. BroOkhart relied Oh the
labor vote, not because he was labO"-
er, but because labor had a grievance
and its expression of that grievance at
the polls would be to his political ad.
vantage 1t is a remarkable result
of politics, but true nevertheless, that
no candidate of late years who has gone
fawning for the support of labor has
ever been successful in the contest.
When labor has won at the polls, it has
MADE lis cauuluilc lllStcdu VI dCCept-
ing a self selected one. No one has sue
ceedcd who attempted to exploit labor.
When the candidate has been the prod
uct Of the spontaneous desire OF the
forces which made him, he has COM
manGlcd attention and received sup
port outside the elements which nOmi-
mated him. But when the candidate
counts the noses of labor and calculates
the advantage to himself Of having its
tentative support, he not only fails to
get the united labor support, as Col.
Brookhart did, but he draws nothing to
/, himself outside of the labor group.
1t may be said in passing that the
healthy American sentiment Of the
state is not easily contaminated by at
tcmpts to line up the un-American
votes. If there were no other lessons
in the senatorial result than that the
candidate who consorts with enemies OF
the government, even in the least de-
gree, cannot receive the public apprOba-
ton. it would be worth preserving as a
heritage.

The country still has confidence il

wise course of fool friends He knew
nothing of the questionable methods

the party to which he belongs that he

have been upon the defensive from the

Wood as lis nominee. The delegates
saw that Republicans out III the coul-

of Harding is 50 satisfactory to the
rank and file of the party. But just
the same. Gov. Lowden and Gen. Wood
are big men. The country believes in
them. 1t needs their counsel and their

The communication is signed by
Robert Harper, secretary OF the Corn
Belt Meat Producers association and
eleven other farmers who commend
the respect and confidence OF their

The Marshalltown paper presumes
that copies of the complaint have

that now that the roads have come

expect such men to be given their

should start with the train crews

evidence
The Times Republican takes a very
hopeful view, but it apparently fails to
realize the seriousness of the situation
The railroad management dare not
discharge these men, nor dare the In
terstate commerce commission order
their dismissal. That would mean a
strike all over the country. These
trainmcn belong to the union and they
know the union will stand by them

bear it and join on election day with

guess that every one Of those con
ductors and brakemen planked in a
ballot for BroOkhart and will vote
against Cummins at the election next
fall. What are the farmers going to
do about it? Are the farmers of Ham
ilton county who followed the lead OF
the Iowa Homestead and disgruntled
and defeated republican politician in
Webster City going to stand side by
side with these trainmen on election
day and cast vote against the candi
date for United States senator who
stands four square for fair-play to the
farmers, the railroads and the train
men, but who has no special privileges
to offer to any particular class that
would be detrimental to the public
welfare? This is question farmers

pe:ativc today as efficient production
and efficient transportation, to adjust
the balances in our own transactions
and to hold our high place in the acti-
vities OF the world. 1t is utter folly

and more prudent consumption on the
other.
"Thcre must be conscience OF

conscience in restricting outlay and
promoting thrift. Sober capital must
make appeal to intoxicated wealth,
and thoughtful labor must appeal to
the radical who has no thought OF the

but we need a bcncdiction of whole

A POLITICAL MEMORY.

Sioux City journal: The decisive
vote on the republican nomination for
United States senator in Iowa contains
some political lessons which sOhuld
not be ignored. Primarily, it is con-
elusive evidence that no candidate can
go before an intelligent electorate on
false claims and get by with his plan.
1t equally proves that the people Of the
state are determined to decide political
contests on the merits of the issues in
volved, not on the merits of himsy side
