'WtheJ fii-st'tinio' miicc 'IIcctr'wii"a !very' smiill pup tho 'gtxxl old republican state of Iowa is roihb to have a democrat in the. United States senate, if the report of the HUcommitteei ijPMPstigaljng the Bmtlhnr.t-Steck election contest is approved. Which indicates,', after all, that a man like Brookhart can't fool idl the people all' the time, that Voters are willing and eager to correct previous mistakes even though they have to go to another party to accomp lish, it. The Orcgonian, commenting on the sub-coniinitlee unanimous decision, says: ' v? v- , if - . . t i The lhtiokhart game' of playing both ends against the middle is played out. Although the finding (hut Steck, not Brookhart. was elected senator in 1!124 is ' that of a sub-committee of the senate, that sub-com-. mittee includes democrats as well as republicans, and 'is unanimous. Its conclusion that a majority of the Voters of Iowa intended to vole for Steck will almost surely be sustained by the senate. So much ftir the supi-eme egotist of Iowa. Having -. won one election by his fame as a 'sharpshooter and by his pose as a dirt fanner, he imagined that he could order Dawes to get off the republican ticket ' and could support La-l-'ollette against Coolidge, yet, win another election. as a republican who was bigger ' and wiser than the parly. ("Supreme egotist" is right but the Oivgonian doesn't know the half of it. The morning, thai news of President Harding's death reached Brookhart'. home town, that gen tleman told some of his inlimalc friends that he. Smith "Wildman'' Brookhart, was the logical man to receive the republican nomination for the presidency, that election would ,e ft snap if he got the nomination. Egotist he is, indeed, and always will be. There is no doubt in Brookhait's mind that he 'is a better man than Coolidge or Harding or half n dozen Others he admits it. A little thing like being unseated by the senate in the election contest won't liother Brookhart. He'll simply feel sorry for voters and senators Mho fail to appreciate his great ability and leadership."- Pe titions are already being circulated in Iowa by Brookhart followers so that he will run for the republican nomina tion again this spring against Cummins. Rebuffs and in sults and defeats mean little in his life. The people of Jowa have indicated their desire to have Brookhart rele gated to the scrap-heap, to have him back in his law office. But it will lie. many years before that individual will be able to realize it. That's the only difficulty with our primary jsystcms self-starters are forever with us. if .matches are not mmle In hea ven, w hut are the Swedes going lo dp to occupy IhcU? .llluc.7 t- ner, soprano: Dennis fla Ion. plan- ),lH orinnl Country Hoys orehes- Isl; lA-slie Hopper, inarlmbuphon- lrH. n.n.
