said yet was to express his sorrow that
Iowa was not better represented in

a joke. Even the democrats know that
Iowa was never as strong in Washing

greater influence in national affairs No
one knows il better than Bryan, and
what is more. the people of Iowa know
that he knows it and that he made this
silly remark for lack of anything bet
ter to say TO earn his money, which he
has said in a letter to j. Sterling Nor

also a tenderness of sentiment which is
no less genuine and strong between the
nations than between individuals.
