Iowa Goes Into Ultra- Progressive Column; This State’s Republicans on Trial Saturday (EDITORIAL) And now Iowa, greatest of farming states, has joined the ranks of the ultra-progressives. : Most significant of all recent politi- cal revolts against the existing order was that on the Hawkeye prairies Mon- day. By an overwhelming majority the once conservative republicans of Iowa nominated the radical progressive, Smith W. Brookhart, for United States senator. *- et @ Sixteen million citizens voted in 1920 to make Harding president. The: voted, they thought, for a forward- looking, clear-thinking leader who would carry the country with him back to “normalcy. : The administration has failed to live straight into the most pronounced pe- riod of reaction the nation has experi- enced in Congress has done, and is doing, nothing. The cabinet is floundering. Even republican newspapers are severc- ly criticising the administration. And the president, instead of harkening to the voice of the people, appears rather to be listening to the handful of know- ing men who have his ear in Washing- ton. He is calling his critics names. One by-one, the states are register- ing their disappointment. Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania and now Iowa have answered the roll call with emphatic refusals to give the ad- ministration a vote of confidence. Next? (EDITORIAL) Saturday will be a day of testing for the republican party of this state. When its delegates meet at Che- halis they will either throw off the stupid, reactionary grip of Louishart- ism which has cursed the party in re- cent years or else they will prepare its shroud. At present writing there is a cheery outlook. It seems likely that forward- looking leadership will assert itself, just as it did last Saturday in the King county convention, It seems certain that Gov. Hart has lost the confidence and the b of his own party leaders just as he long ago lost the confidence of the mass of people, Thé real big, brainy men in the party organization of this state (and there are some) arte awake to the situation. know that the Hart poll tax-code- extravagance regime cannot be de- fended. They know that the people of this state demand progressive legisla- tion, progressive-minded administra- tion. And they feel in their bones that matters have come to a pass where the people of Washington are pretty soon going ant that type of political serv- i junk some political ma- chines. That is why The Star believes the Washington G. O. P. will, on Saturday, step out with a new vision of political leadership.
