If the Bulleton Does Not Answer Pretty
Soon We Shall Have To.-Some
More PuZzlers.

just as we said the Bulletin does not
answer a single mi of the REVIEWS
questions, no other democrat steps in
to answer them. We repulish the ques.
ton and here are some more:
Does the treaty with Spain make
any guarantees as to rights to he given
Spanish commerce for the next ten
years?
Does the treaty make the United
States responsible for the property
rights and safety of foreigners residing
in the Philippines?
What democratic senators voted to
ratify that treaty?
Is W. j. Bryan denouncing that
treaty today2
Did no w. j. Bryan make a special
trip to Washington to urge democratic
senators to vote for the treaty the
terms OF Which he is o denouncing?
Ii any other man should do such a
thing would you not call him a dema-
gague2
The following are the unanswered
questions as published last week:
Did or did not the Iowa democratic
convention of 1899 endorse and reafirm
the national democratic platform of
1896?
Did or did not the national demo.

present?
Have or have we not recommendation
at present?
Would or would not a democratic

al supremacy b. followed by free coin

Why is the republication of a por-
ton OF your W national platform of
1896 as reafirmed by your own state
convention of 1899, distasteful to you?

A Few More Questions.
Was Mr. Delivers statement correct
that the 10Th clause of the constitution
of the Philippine republic (2) states in
substance, "Aguinaldo shall be presi-
dent, and he shall not be held RESPONSE
BILE for anything he may do2"
Would not such a government, head
ed by a president not accountable to
any n for his acts, amount to an alb
solute despotism7
Do you honestly think such a govern
ment would be better for the real liber-
ty and personal rights Of the people
than the control of the United States?
What reason have you to believe that
the government under which you live
would be more oppressive to the people
of the Philippines than to the people of
Iowa?
Did any authorized official of the
United States ever take any steps to-
ward making an Anglo Saxon Alliance?
1t not why do you and other demo-
Gratis make such a blow about one?
Did Theo. G. Blume allow the use of
his name as an Independent candidate
for superintendent in 1891. Was he
nominated, and was his name printed
in their ticket more than a month?
Is it not true that Blume withdrew his
name from the Independent ticket not
because he was opposed to running
against a regular democratic nominee,
but because he secured a position in
Illinois?
Is it not true that the depositors in
Iowa banks have increased nearly $50,
600, 600 since January 1, 1902 Is this
an evidence of prosperity or of hard
times?
Have not the bank deposits in Deni
son increased over a quarter of a mil.
lion dollars since January LIST?
Is it not a fact that a least one half of
this money belongs to the farmers of
this vicinity?
