Waterloo, April PA secret meeting

veg, of Des fMoines, representing the
democratic state central committee
was present and explained to the faith
full few the method adopted by the
committee for thorough reorganiza-
ton of the party turnout the state. The
scheme as outlined by Mr.. Hillweg is
unique and the party leaders believe it
will bear much good fruit. The COM
mittee has established what it terms
the Iowa State United Democracy.
Like q fraternal or labor organization.
cards of membership are issued to
those who join the organization. at
testing to the fact that they are demo-
Gratis, true i'll the faith and Interested
in the success Of their party at the
polls. These cards are signed by Chair
man Huffman. of the state central
committee. and countersigned by the
organizer. The annual membership fee
which each members agrees to pay into
the central organization is 81. This
amount is guaranteed for a term of five
years. 1t is figured by those who are
fostering the scheme that the new or
iganization will create d renewed inter-
est in the party, and also that 1t will
incidentally lend a little bunch of the
3much-needed currency of the realm to
the campaign fund of the party in the
state.
The intention is to organize every
county in the state, and Mr.. Hillweg
says he is meeting with good success
wherever he goes. He says SO far he
has organized forty or more counties
and has calls from a dozen others
where some OF the committee literature
has been spread and the plan has been
icanvassed. He thinks he will complete
the circuit of the state and have all of
the ninety mine counties in Iowa in the
list of the State United Democracy
before the national convention is held
In Kansas City on July54.
The plan is to have IN each county a
minimum membership Of fifty, but in
many counties AIR, Hellwig says that
number has been doubled several times.

Nevada, April H. The Representative
Gays: The Duluth & New sorleans rail-
road has won its case In district court
against the Nevada township trustees.
Judge Whitaker's decision, which was
rendered just before noon today. holds
the petition In the railroad tax matter
to be sufficient and directs the trustees
TO proceed with the calling OF the cleo
sstion to determine the leyying Of the 8
per cent tax in aid Of the railroad. The
case was taken up ocrore the court
Monday, and the court sustained mos:
ton Of the defendant trustees that the;
railroad should furnish bond for costs
and overruled another motion for q cons
ttnuance on account OF the serious Ill
mess OF Mr.. Hague. chairman OF the
board. The trial of the case consisted
chiefly OF the of persons
whose names had been erased by the
board from the Int C resident free
hold taxpayers. These examinations
did not disclose state OF facts materi-
I ally different from those ascertaineds by
the trustees !: but as to the conclusions
stherefrom the court held against the
trustees that having q contract for land
constitutes one a freeholder, even tho
I he has not a. deed. and tflht parties who
had signed the petition had not the
right to withdraw their signatures.
These two rulings were sufficient TO de-
eide the case In favor OF the railroad
and other points involved in the matter
1t was not necessary to touch upon.
This decision OF the court gives much
pleasure to the railroad people and to
those who have interested themselves on
behalf of the railroad, while to those
who have been opposing the tax 1t is a
surprise and q disappointment. 1t is
probable that an appeal win be taken
but Just what will be the effect thereof
TO stay proceedings Is not certain, while
the ultimate decision, in case the mat
ter shall be carried to and thru the SUI
perior court. is OF course not matter
ssof present knowledge. The present VIC
tory In the district court Is an important
one. and tustifies the satisfaction Of
those who have Won It.

OLD SOLDIERS REVOLT.

Special to the Register.
CHICAGO. ILL.,, October 2S.-News comes
from Kokomo, Ind, that the Republicans
of that locality have been thrown into a
panic by the announcement that Edward
w. Freeman and sixteen other civil war
veterans in his company, who marched
with Sherman to the sea, had r~enounced
Mckinley and will vote for Bryan this
election.
Mr.. Freeman is a we'll known newspaper
years. He was postmaster at Kokomo for
twelve years under Grant and other Re-
publican Presidents and has held county
offices of honor and trust. He was a
brother-in-law of the late T. c.. Phillips,
founder of the Kokomo Tribune, one of
the oldest and best known Republican
newspapers in the State.
Mr.. Freeman and his sixteen comrades
who nave abandoned the Mckinley ranks
are all substantial citizens. They departs
ed on the issue of imperialism and pension
methods. They will vote the straight DEM
ocratic ticket from the President down.
All are enthusiastic for John w. Kern for
governor.
The Topping Is all one way in Koko-
mo and vicinity. Nobody in those parts
who voted for Bryan four years ago will
vote for Mckinley this year except one,
and he calls himself a Populist and not a
Republican or Democrat. The gold DEM
ocrats are all for Bryan this time.
A. ]. Phillips, formerly editor and owner
of the Kpkomo Tribune Republican,. now
editor Of a paper at Salt Lake City, Utah,
has also abandoned Mckinley and has de-
clared for Bryan

General Woodford, at Wheeling park
Casino, Saturday night, went to i'm
mense trouble to justify the admins
tration for its war in the Philippines,
but still he omitted many interesting
features. For instance, he didn't tell
his audience that Aguinaldo was once
an ally of the administration, being
brought from Hong Kong to Manila in
an United States ship. at government
expense, and he neglected to quote Ad-
miral Dewey in his deliberately ex-
pressed opinion that the Filipinos were
more capable of self government
than the Cubans. Listeners to the elo-
quent generals remarks also noticed
his disinclination to quote from Sena-
tor Hoar, or ex-President Edmunds or

workingman who suddenly finds him
self syndicated out of a job? These
people find trusts very bad things, be-
cause the closing down of an absorbed

81 BELIEVE IN TRUSTS. THEY

motto to conjure with. It's author is
Nathan Bay Scott, Minority Senator of
the United States from the State Of
West Virginia, and almost the co-equal
of Mark Hanna in the direction of the
Mckinley campaign. Hanna had the
discretion to insist that there are no
trusts within the meaning of the law
passed by a Republican Congress. His
point was a technical and legal one.
Scott says, not only that there are
trusts, but that HE BELIEVES IN
THEM, because they are GOOD
THINGS. A second Burchard has ap-
peared, and spoken. Senator SCOTS

papers and the denial of guests will

SENATOR SCOTT AND TRUSTS,

Another Burchard has come to
plague the Republican ~party-and de-
feat 1t.
This time it is Nathan Bay Scott.
minority United States Senator from
the State of West Virginia.
The Rev. Samuel Dickinson Bur-
chard, on the 10Th of October, 1884, in
an address at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
New York, used this expression:
I'VE ere Republicans and don't pro-
pose to leave our party and identify
ourselves with the party whose ante
cedents have been rum, Romanism and
rebellion"
The last four words in this sentence
cost James G.. Blaine the Presidency of
the United States.
At the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in the
same city Of New York, on the evening
of Friday, the Goth of October, 1900,
the occasion being a dinner given in
honor of Governor Theodore Roose-
welt, Republican candidate for Vice
President, a second Burchard appeared
and spoke. And here are four of his
sentences, frought with a meaning I'M
~mistakably indicating the attitude of
the party in power and the personal
beliefs of the speaker:
"Right here 1 want to say 1 believe
in trusts. They are n good thing.
The Oil Company put its
pipe lines to all the small towns
where oil is produced, and If it was
not for the Standard Oil Company

ARE A GOOD THING"
Thus spoke Senator Nathan Bay
Scott, Of West Virginia, at. a public
dinner, and we say public because a
reporter was present, by agreement
and arrangement. He was Ira Leveen.
a representative Of the New York City
News Bureau. He reported the dinner.
