PARTY SPLIT IN TWAIN
(From the Chicago Tribune
That an accurate understanding
might bo had of political conditions
in the middle western states, "The
Tribune" ordered Mr. O'Laughlln to
make a thorough investigation and
to write a series of articles present
ing the facts in an unbiased way. The
first article appear.: below. "The Trib
ur.e" recerves to itself the right to
make such editorial expressions up
on Mr. O'Laughlln's reports as may
seem to It proper.—Editor Tribune.
3Y .JOHN CAM.,AN O'LAUGHLlN.
I have Just returned to Chicago,
having visited central and southern
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska
Iowa, .Minnesota, Wisconsin, and In
diana. I have discussed politics with
United States senators, congressmen,
federal officers, state officers, mem
bers of state legislatures, editors of
newspapers, political bosses and pol
iticlans, and plain citizens.
The significant fact .which my In
vestigation has developed Is the re
sentment everywhere expressed in
the communities I visited to the gov
ernment control exerolsed by such
conservative stand-patters as Sena
tor Aid rich of Rhode Island and
Speaker Cannon of Illinois.
As a corollary, and of far greater
importance. Is the further fact that
the Republican party Is arrayed Into
two hostile camps, both defiant, both
determined to rule or ruin. On the
one hand are the stalwarts, the men
who have supported or who believe in
what 30 frequently has been describ
ed as reactionary policies, standing
unitedly behind Senator Aldrich and
Mr. Cannon. On the other, and un
questionably in the majority, are the
socailed insurgents, impatient of re
straint, determined that the forward
movement of the nation, begun un
der President Roosevelt, shall not be
arrested.
The only conclusion possible tc
arrive at is that the Republican par
ty must be, to use a term of the in
surgents, "regenerated," or a third
party will be the outcome.
Present Situation Serious.
This situation is so serious as to
Seserve the most careful study and
consideration of the leaders of the
Republican party. The Democratic
party, owing to the participation of
many of its representatives in the
scramble for high tariff duties, can
not take advantage of the present
plight of Its historic enemy. More
over, In the Democratic party, as in
the Republican party, there is a pro
portion of Independent voters so
large as to swing an election in any
direction It considers advisable.
It may he suggested that for some
years now the independent vote has
been of such a "size to to demand con
sideration from party leaders. But
never in the middle west has it at
tained the figure which it Is today.
say this with full realization of the
fact that there is an undertone of
conservatism in the states comprised
within this section.
What is the cause of this condi
tion? I discovered that the charac
ter of tariff revision given the party
at the extra session which closed
In August had something to do with
it. But after all, this was merely
symptomatic. The prime objection is
based upon tho general unwillingness
longer to permit the government to
be directed by such men as Senator
Aldrich and Speaker Cannon longer
to permit the popular will for ad
vanced legislation to be thwarted by
the attitude of these representatives
Aldrich and Cannon Distrusted.
For Senator Aldrich there exists
admiration for his personal honesty
and integrity, for his high ability
and decisive character. But the mid
dle west believes that Aldrich has
been reared in an environment total
ly different from that in which it
lives. It charges that his associa
tion with capital has warped his
views as to the needs of the people
outside of the east. It does not con
consider that his direction of the
United States senate is in its inter
est. It looks upon Speaker Cannon
as tarred, with the same brush, but
there seems to he greater objection
to him personally as well as officially
The insurgents have been busy with
oratorical paint brushes, and they
have presented the speaker in an un
lovely way.
It is not much to say that the ov
ershadowing Issue of the congression
al campaign next year will be Aldrich
ism and Cannonism. So far as Sen
ator Aldrich is concerned, his position
in his state is unassailable. A differ
ent situation exists with respect to
Speaker Cannon.
It is the Intention of the insur
gents in the states which I visited
to require a pledge from every repub
lican elected that he will vote against
Cannon for another term in thd
speaker's chair. Subsidiary to this
proposition is that the rules of the
house of representatives shall be re
vised. In behalf of the spekker it
may be said he is meeting the issue
courageously. He has gone .into the
heart, of the Insurgent region, he has
expressed his views as to insurgency
In 110 uncertain words, agd he is pre
pared to carry on the campaign with
tho intense vigor of his character. In
doing this he has taken a course pre
cisely in accordance with the wiBhes
of the insurgents. They believe they
can win if the issue be Cannonism.
Issue Will Be Cannonism.
And from all Indications this will
be the issue. There is undoubtedly
a demand for tariff revision which
shall be unquestionably downward
There is a demand for additional rail
road regulation. There is a demand
for corporation legislation. But the
overshadowing demand is that the
control of the national legislature
shall: be In the hands-of men who

UNDER THE STARS" "f
A Christmas Carol,
Under the stars one holy nightV
A little babe was born
Over his head a star shone bright.
And glistened till the mom.
And wise men came from far away.
And shepherds wandered where -he
lay
Upon his lowly bed of hay.
Under the stars one night, %~r'
Under the stars, one blessed night.
The Christ-child came to earth.
And through the darkness broke the
light
Of morning at his birth.
And sweet hosannas filled the air
And guardian angels watched him
where
The Virgin Mother knelt in prayer.
Under the stars one night.
Under the stars, this happy night,
We wait for him once more,
And seem to see the wondrous sight,
The shepherds saw of yore.
O, baby born in Bethlehem,
Come to us as you came to them,
And crown us with love's diadem.
Under the stars to-night.
—By Anna S. Driscol.
may be depended upon to do what th
people want, not in the hands of men
who divert the legislation sought by
the people of the middle west into
hiind channels that lead nowhere.
When this desire is realized, then it
follows that the legislation deenied
essential to the national welfare will
be secured.
Take up the situation in detail. In
Illinois an opportunity will be af
forded next month to pass upon the
Cannon issue. A successor to Sen
ator William Lorimer In the lower
house of congress will be elcted in
the -Sixth district, which lies In Chi
cago and Cook county. Both Speak
er Cannon and Senator Lorimer are
working, and will work, for the suc
ot the candidate the latter has
selected, W. J. Moxley, primarily be'
cause he-may be depended upon to
back up the speaker under all circum
stances.
Down the state there are halfi a
dozen congressmen with insurgen'
tendencies, politically too cowardb
to come out in the open, but prepar
ed to jump when the wind blows
strong enough to prove they have
nothing to lose by opposition to Mr.
Cannon.
Unrest in Missouri and Kansas.
In Missouri the manufacturing and
mining interests are entirely satis
fied with the tariff concessions they
received. The people are not so
complaisant. Time and time again
I heard working men ask what they
had gained through tariff revision
when their wages remained the same
or had been slightly increased, while
prices had gone much higher. It is
useless to talk economics to men in
this frame of mind.
In Kansas nry ears were filled with
vigorous denunciation of every public
man who had anything whatever to
do with the tariff. The people feel
they have been "bunkoed". The .old
line Republicans express satisfaction
but it is significant that the Repub
lican congressmen who were tariff
Insurgents' will be nominated with
out oppoitlon, according to the situ
ation at present, while a vigorous
fight will be made upon the men who
W2ip regular. It is asserted by the
stalwart Republicans that the tarifl
is not leeponslble for this condition.
They place the responsibility upon
Cannonism. But as stated above
Cannonism, after all, comprises the
tariff as well as other Issues.
Nebraska does not appear to be so
wrought up as Kansas. The senators
and representatives who voted foi
the tariff bill have not been seriously
criticised. The issue in this state,
however, also will be Cannonism.
Intense Peeling in Iowa.
In! Iowa, the home of Senator Cum
mins and Senator Dollivcr, there ex
ists an intense feeling. So far as
the tariff is concerned, the leaders
are not seeking another revision un
der the methods pursued during the
last session. They are urging, and
the people are supporting them to a
large extent, that another revision
shall be made but in accordance with
the Beverldge plan of an investiga
tion by an expert tariff commission
and a report for the guidance of the
president and congress.
In entering the congresslonol dls'
trict of Representative Hull some
days ago and denouncing Senator
Cummins and the other insurgents,
Speaker Cannon concentrated the
issue upon himself. He drew a line
of cleavage between the two fac
tions which could not be overlooked
even by a blind man. It is the pur
pose of Senator Cummins to illumi
nate this line still further by the
searchlight of his eloquence. Cum
mins Insists he still Is a Republican,
and purposes to stand by the party
so long as It does what he considers
•to be the right thing. But it is evi
dent the junior Iowa senator will not
stand the shackles ot old time Re-
sicy only
publicaiiisut, and if a new party shoul
arise, representing the principles in
which he believes, and the Republi
can party Should fail to adopt those
principles, til en undoubtedly he would
take the stop lila conscience dictated.
Senator fbolliver is satisfied that
in acting SR an insurgent lie was
justified not only by the facts in
connection:!with the tariff but by
the attitude of his constituents. He
may be depended upon to act as in
dependently in tho future as he did
at the extra session. %'v
Nelson and Clapp Indorsed. "I'-i
In .Minnesota both Senator Nelson
and Senator Clapp have received ev
idence of general indorsement of
their tariff course. Clapp is confi
dent of reelection, and the consen
sus of opinion seems to be that he
faa3 ground for hi? belief. The tar
iff is cauiing Representative Tawney
a great deal of trouble. A terrific
fight is being made upon him.
The attitude Senator La Follctte
adopted, with respect to the tariff
enabled him to regain much of the
influence -he had lost in Wisconsin.
His renogfinatlon is probable, though
a bitter TWfit will.-be made upon him.
Both in Minnesota and Wisconsin
Cannonism will be an issue.
Indiana stands stanchly behind
Senator Beverldge.
Fortunately for the old line Re
publicans, there is an abounding pros
perity all through the states I visit
ed. Providence, however and not*the
Republican party, 13 given credit for
this satisfactory condition. Attentio'.
is called to the fact that the mid
dle west suffered no serious Inconven
ience from the currency panic of
1007. The crops were good then, the
farmers received high prices for tlieij
products. The same state of affair
exists now. It" is not likely, there
fore, that prosperity will cut much
figure in the way the people act
next fall.
Middle West for Progression.
It may be said there is a trace of
sectionalism in what I have written.
The middle west does not believe it
is sectional. It holds that its views
are rational that the tendency in
all parts of the United States, as well
as all over the world, is progressive,
and It believes the country should not
be behind the times. It holds the
time has come for privilege and prop
erty to be ousted from the intrench
ed position they have so long occu
pied, that the people shall have full
enjoyment of the rights which nat
urally belong to them.
The inhabitants fo the states
through which I have passed are as
patriotic as those "of any other com
munity. They are more national
than many people in the east. They
are demanding in unprecedented num
bers, that the government shall be
in the hands of men who know the
views and aspirations of the people
and who may be depended upon
give expression to their will.
CARE OF SHOW CORN.
Ordinarily tho southern part of
Iowa has an advantage over the
northern part of the state in the de
velopment of show corn. 'Phis seas
on by far the best corn in Jthe state
is in the north-eastern section. Good
show corn in southern Iowa will be a
scarce article this year because of
the extended drouth which came just
at the time when he ears were fill
ing.
The national, state, and district
corn shows are offering splendid larg
premiums this season, and with the
well developed crop they have in this
part of Hie state, farmers are sleep
ing on their rights unless they carry
off a good share of the handsome pre
miums offered M'y these shows.
Competition in corn shows is often
strong and oftentimes an equally
good yielding sample is placed low
'yy the judge because It has not
been cared for so as to maintain the
color, straightness of the ear, bright
ness of the germ, and plumpness of
tlie kernel.
To secure plumpness of kernels do
not pick until fully matured. To pre
vent ear from losing its original brigh
color wrap in newspapers as soon as
picked and keep away from sunlight.

COLD STORAGE OF APPLES.
By far the larger part of the apple.
grown in Iowa are of tho fall'varie
ties. These, do not keep well: hi or
dinary storage. As a result the mar
ket is glutted during ,the fall,while
when winter comes apples must be
shipped in at high prices. For' sev
eral years the Horticultural Section
of the Iowa Experiment Station has
been experimenting with different
methods of handling apples in: cold
storage. These experiments have
shown that fall apples when han
dled properly can be kept all winter
in cold storage. The cost. Of cold
storage is not very high, 'and by
this means the season for home
grown apples may be extended un
till well along toward spring. The re
sults of the experiments along this
line, together with full directions for
handling apples In cold storage, are
given in bulletin No. IflS of tile' Iowa
