PETERSON. *&> 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 THE REAL MEAN MAN. The man who robs the orphans is mighty measly cuss So's the man who gets up rumors promote a married fuss But the man of all varmints.with tho microscopic soul Is the man who makes his money out of selling short weight coal.

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.

And sweet hosannas filled the air And guardian angels watched him where The Virgin Mother knelt in prayer. Under the stars one night.

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.

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 Experiment Station.
