A survey of Cass county politics reveals Green’s campaign strategy collapsing under insurgent pressure. Reported media deception and rumors of reciprocity backlash paint a picture of standpat Republicans planning to oppose Green despite paper endorsements and local talk. The Atlantic date line notes expected shifts in voting patterns, with farmer support and newspaper defections shaping the race.
The text asserts that standpatters in Cass County will vote against Green and resist insurgent pressure. It predicts Green cannot win the county, estimating a larger loss than Smith, despite reports of rising enthusiasm. Campaigns proceed with Green managers planning actions within a week to bolster weaknesses.
John Y. Stone of Mills County is urged to explain his vote for Green at the county convention, where delegates were split between standpatters and insurgents. The piece accuses Stone of violating an agreement, warns Standpatters against backing Green, and portrays Green and the judicial coalition as entrenched interests resisting free trade and reform.
The Register-Leader editorial notes western lawmakers including Knute Nelson and Cummins face stage fright over reciprocity. It cites Nelson’s 1909 wheat tariff critique and argues western senators and congressmen have forced themselves into an overlookable defensive stance, risking public credibility.
The piece attacks Cummins and his followers including Judge Green for promoting Canadian free trade and reciprocity. It claims Iowa advocates influenced the president to push the policy, praising insurgent rhetoric and faulting Green for wavering on major issues to seek Congress. The piece condemns The Telegraph as supporting the cause and questions future electoral viability.
