she is sworn to do battle.
II there has been any partisan re

Great credit is due the republican adj

In one day than all of the democratic

humble judgment, will do in the future.
The German Voter.
One Of the most iagrant features in
connection with the democratic cam
spaign is their attitude toward the Ger
man Anler ican Voter. With much as
surance they are claiming turnout the
country that this class of citizens who

Guiding their action at the Kansas City
convention and their course since then
is an insult 10 the intelligence and In

The attitude of the Bryanistic party.
toward the German American Voter
was clearly Illustrated by their refusal

Danger Of Is to /.
The Bryaiites have not only reiter-

a ratioaof 10 to /, but have twice writ

given to- no other issue. II is idle to
tell the people of Iowa that II is unim-
fi1prtant in this campaign. The integri-
sty and stability ofEour currency is IS
much al stake today as ever. It8is en-
iirely possible for the complexion of the

Bryan triumph IN November.
s There are over 100, 900 of the voters of
This state holding membership in vari-
86ns fraternal insurance organizations:
"a membership largely recruited from
these Of moderate means, men who
work for a days wage. Let them not
forget that William Jennings Bryan
and his followers say twice in the Kan

they have paid good money in two.
There are millions of dollars on deposit

not forget that Bryan stands COM
