v, GOVERNORS IN THS PUBLIC EYB. -rv ;
A VERY FIERCE FIGHT is tjeina; made in Iowa
; against the renominatiori, for a third term, of
" Governor Cummins, who occupies a similar po
sition in that state to that occupied by La Follette when
he last ran for governor. of Wisconsin. Cummins is be
ing very bitterly opposed and assailed by the tariff
standpatters and the railroads, but he has a majority of
the people with him, and will almost certainly be .renom
inated and reelected. Some years ago Cummins pro
mulgated -what came to be known as "the Iowa idea,"
namely, revision of the" tariff and ifeduttion"of 'duties on
protected articles made by trusts. 1 Later, when the party
rejected this "idea," he recanted temporarily and ""fell
in line, but nls courage and convictions having gotten
. their second wind, he is a more- radical tariff reformer
. .than before, knowing that in this-ha stands for the in
terests of the great farming state of Iowa. He, also ad
vocates higher taxation and stricter control of railroads,
and a direct primary law, as La Follette did in Wis
...coxuujijmdlif ; likely to fulluw the iWiscunsin man. to the senate. Plre
opposition to him is prompted and inspired by Senators
Ani90nandPolliyert who arejiot onry not at all in sym-
pathy with Cummins7 reform Id'eastW 'wBo "see "theif
senatorial seats thus put in jeopardy. The election of
Cummins will be a heavy blow to the standpat or con-
semtive element of the Republican party.'- ,
tJovernorDeneen "oMIlinois-vyas-expected
the La oIlette-Cumnuns-FoIk-Hanley class of gov
ernors, but has proved a great disappointment in this
. respect He has slumped back into the class of ordinary
. . machine executives who play politics to win place and
then use place to play politics, regardless of the people's
interests. He wears convictions as he does a diamond
pin, chiefly for display, not use, and is full-mouthed with
, fine words that butter no parsnips. In 1904 the voters of
, Illinois,, by - an . overwhelming majority, ' declared for a
primary law similar to the one in force now in Oregon,
and in his campaign Deneen said he would deem his ad
ministration a failure unless such a law was passed. So
Crude and faulty a law was passed that it was held un-
rnnaf ifiitinnal riar .th rnnH. aa vim
signed. A second one, little; if anyjbetter the governor
signed, but tt is not expected to stand, or to accomplish
anything rf it does; and it is said that the governor urged
the passage of this make-believe law rather than such a
one as the people wanted. Lieutenant-Governor Sher
man Jias denounced the law as "a fraud, a delusion and a
disgrace," and though approved by Governor Deneen
it -has been-condemned byverybody but"the politicians.
Governor Deneen is bending all his energies to beat Sen-
LatoftCullom and to elect Ex-Governor Yates in' his stead;
and while the country could easily spare Cullom from
the senate, it would be worse off with Yates there. .
'Governor Hanley of Indiana, a Republican, is making
an enviable record in exposing graft, firing thieves, and
breaking loose from the political machine; and Governor
Folk's record is too well known to need comment
Governor Pattison of Ohio, a Democrat, elected in an
overwhelmingly , Republican state, has been too ill to
make much of a- record yet, but his election shows the
, great growth of independent voting in state elections, as
. did the election of Governor Douglas in Massachusetts
. ' in 1904. . - .. v ' -

K CAMPAIGN LIE.
LIES and roorbacks are always to be
on the eve of an election, but it was
expected that the Republican state
central' committee would stoop to the publication and
dissemination of statements which they knew to be un
true. Nevertheless it has been done.
. In a circular issued and signed by the chairman and
secretary of the committee it is asserted that the anony
mous circular assailing Jonathan Bourne emanated Jxom
"Democratic headquarters." No one knows better than
the managers of the Republican campaign . that this
statement is absolutely untrue. It is a notorious fact
that the circulars in question were printed and published
by Republicans who are opposed to Bourne's candidacy.
Similar attacks were made before the primaries and at
that .-time defamatory, circulars were 1 spread, broadcast
by Some of the very men who are now nominees on the
withBournrThe - anern&t - afrrjute
the responsibility for these anonymous
attacks is contemptible. It is a source of great surprise
that the Republican state central committee should stoop
to such dirty politics. r - ... t . v
