VOTING FOR PRINCIPLES
In politics, all the Nation is a stage,
and Iowa has just appeared upon it iu
one of the early numbers on the pro
gram.
It seems that sho was playing to a
larger audience than she know, and
that many friendly but distant eyes
were fixed upon her. And in particu
lar, the Ninth congressional district,
wherein we reside, was receiving al
most undivided attention.
Just what the spectators thought or
Iowa's performance has not yet been
made clear, further than they were at
least a little disappointed. This was
especially true in these neighboring
states, which have led off' in the fight
against the minions of Wall Street, and
were looking to Iowa for substantial re
euforcements after the contest was
over. The Minneapolis Tribune, which
is easily one of the most influential pa
pers of the Northwest, wherein insur
gent sentiment is rife, has the follow
ing to say under the caption, "Firing
the Little Cannons." \''3i
"The primaries indicate that the vo
ters are giving particular attention to
the little Cannons, who carried out all
the bunco schemes of the speaker, and
his senatorial ally in the committee on
rules of the house of representatives.
Dalzell had a narrow squeak even in
boss and monopoly ridden Pennsylva
nia, and was apparently nominated
only by fraud.
"Mr. Smith, a far more useful and
respected representative from Iowa,
had a hard fight for re-nomination and
may lose his seat in the election. The
fight on Smith was not personal we
don't know about the more distant
member. They are attacked as the
most conspicuous representatives of a
system by which the people are gulled
and the pledges on. which they trusted
the Republican party betrayed.
"The man who managed Dalzell's
campaign in Pennsylvania remarked
sadly after the primaries that, "No
congressman is safe." It is true that
no such congressman as his candidate
is safe after the experience of the peo
ple with this congress, and the sooner
they realize it the better. If Dalzell
escapes loss of his nomination by proof
of fraud, he will probably be defeated
for election.
"The voters have away of personify
ing their vengeance. You cannot
punish a whole legislative body with
out manifest injustice. The secret ma
chinery by which the will of the peo
ple was thwarted and the promises
made to them broken is too impersonal
to reach. They who want to discipline
the Republican organization picked
tkeir victims here and there, as a Ro
man legiou was decimated.
They have gotten Aldrich and Hale,
are going to get Cannon and Lodge.
The little Cannons of the committee
on rules comes next. Among them are
Dalzell and Smith."
The Tribune suggests a phase of the
political situation which is, we believe,
even now, troubling republican voters
of the Ninth district. Those, who vo
ted against Mr. Smith AS A MATTKU OF
PRINCIPLE, ^ill find it liard to. vote
for him at the: .general election. Aud
as a matter of fact nearly all who voted
against him at all, did so as a matter of
principle, for personalities have played
no part in the campaign. Given time,
a righteous principle in the hands of
American voters is irresistible. The
trouble is that voters of the Ninth dis
trict of Iowa, who now have one in
their hands, haven't had time to decide
just what to do with it. Still it in
volves the welfare and material com
fort of many millions of honest hard
working people, who are cruelly op
pressed by a System that is treacherous,
avaricious, and all but invisible, and
where humble servants and instru
ments are our chosen representatives.
Mr. and Mrs. Nancarrow enter
tained bis mother over Tuesday,
It has been Baid that the speaker
for July 4th at Exira excels many
Chautauqua lecturers of note. Mr.
Cleveland of Harlan will be a treat
to all.

They left Cincinnati June 14th
with thirty cars contesting. They
are due in Omaha June 27th, and

utmost.
