and before anyone dreamed that an
American citizen would ever repudiate
the fundamental principles of our gov
ernment to CRAFTY the lust of territory,
citizen Roosevelt wrote a life of Thos.
H. Benton, a great expansionist so far
as this continent was concerned. Mr..
Benton was desirous of getting all the
contiguous territory we could, even
British America, and citizen Roosevelt
comedies that it would have been we'll
when that territory was unpeopled,

ties now added to our domain by force;,
we want no unwilling citizens to enter
our Union;s the time to have taken
those lands was before settlers came
into them. European nations war Tor:
the possession Of thickly settled dis
tricts, which if conquered, will for
centuries remain alien and hostile to
the conc uerors. We, wiser in our
generation, have seized waste sOlitndes
that lay near us, the limitless forests
and never ending plains, and the
valleys of the great lonely rivers, and
have thrust our own sons into them to
take possession. 8

that he is personally responsible
for the work in his locality. No
man should accept such a position
for the mere honor, but he should
strive for the higher honor of being
the best committeeman in the
county. With such support, our
efficient county chairman, Mr..
Nicholson, will be able to make a
campaign this year of which the
Republicans of Crawford county
may be proud. In this year, 1900,
there is every incentive and every
reason why Republicans should be
strong and active. The issues for
which they go before the people
are the best and most valuable
possible. They ask but the en-
dorsement of an administration
which has brought unparalleled
prosperity and good times. They
are not forming new and untried
things. They ask the voters to
attempt no new experiments but
to continue to tread the path
which has brought, to repeat the
words of President Mckinley,
prosperity at home and prestige
abroad" y

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The republican state convention
meets at Des Moines tomorrow.
The delegates from Crawford coun-
ty go prepared to stand by the an
didates from their congressional
district, but they also go prepared
to ask that the remainder of the
district shall observe the same
good faith. There is no reason
why Crawford county should go to
the convention prepared to sacri-
fee individual performances and to
sink all their considerations in
order to be loyal to do the same.
The district has two candidates,
Senator Gilbertson for state treas
urer, and Judge Z. A. Church for
supreme judge. We believe that
these men are worthy the support
eff every delegate from the 10th
congressional district. We also
believe that it will be the part Of
wisdom for the district caucus to
unanimously agree to the support
of these candidates until they are
either nominated or shall them
selves release the district from
their support. By such proceed
ings the 10th district would become
what it has not been heretofore, a
powerful factor in the politics of
the state. We know that the dis
trict which acts harmoniously and
unitedly, always has much greater
strength than a district which is
torn by faction, and which gives
but half-hearted support to its own
candidates.
For secretary of state Mr.. Ho-
bart has the decided lead, and at
this time it is the general impress
sion that he will be nominated.
We believe that this county can
we'll afford to give the bulk of its
support to Mr.. Simms of Council
Bluffs for attorney general, al
though it should be borne in mind
that the friends in Woodbury. coun-
ty did much in the way of moral
influence to strengthen the hands
of Crawford county when it needed
support. Mr.. Hallam should,
therefore, be remembered.

The Bulletin contains brief
article relative to republican poll
tics some dozen years ago. 1t
showed such an intimate knowledge
of affairs that we are inclined to
believe that the article was not
written by the editor of the Bulle-
tin, who was at that time not a
resident of the district, and who
was in fact just beginning to learn
the printers trade. The editor of
the REVIEW confesses that he has
no personal knowledge of the con-
gressional convention mentioned,
but speaks only from information
given him by sources which was
deemed perfectly reliable. We
can say, however, that there was
no intention to detract from the
political glory of any of those men
who were participants in the ac-
tons of the convention referred to
nor to distort the record. Mr..
Romans may have supported Dol
liver at that time, but his actions
since that time have placed him
outside of the ranks of the repub-
llcan party, and we presume he
has at present but little interest in
the republican history. Mr.. Laub
is recognized throughout the dis
trict as one of the lifelong friends
of Mr.. Dolliver. A man who rec
ognized in Dolliver brilliant gen.
Jus while he was yet young man
and who did as much as any other,
save possible Governor Carpenter,
to promote the interests of the
brainy congressman from the tenth
district.

TIME TO ORGANIZE.

Republicans of Crawford county,
if we are to make an earnest effort
in the support of Republican prin-
ciples; if we are to present the
facts and arguments of Repub-
licanism to the voters of this
county in "a forceful and effective
way, it is indeed time that active
steps were taken toward perfect
ing strong and complete organi-
cation.
No county chairman, no matter
how efficient, can do this work
alone and unaided. 1t requires a
distinct sacrifice both of time and
money on the part of every Repub-
lican leader of the county. The
democracy of this county has al
ways drawn heavily upon the
county officers and candidates to
supply the money needed in its
campaigns. We know that for the
past few years, every principal
county officer in this county and
every candidate for an important
county Office, has been assessed
more than one hundred dollars by
the Democratic county organiza-
ton. In some instances the sum
has been nearer $500 than 500.
In this way democracy has been
able to enter the campaign with a
fund of about 5000 before any
other outside help is asked. The
Republicans have not this leverage
to secure funds. What they OBJ
tain must be by voluntary contri-
buttons from men who have no
selfish end in view. In county
having democratic majority,
nearly all that can be asked of
Republican candidates, is that
they give portion of their own
time to the work of the campaign.
They can of course contribute
something, but usually the amount
is small. AS rule, although re-
viled by certain men, it is the Re
publicans of Denison who pay
four-hfths of the expense of the
Republican county campaign. 1t
would seem to us that the Repub-
licans of other localities are Just
as greatly interested and have Just
as much at stake as the Republi-
cans of Denison, and that they
should be just as liberal in their
contributions.
Fortunately, in this county, no
large amount of money is needed
tor campaign purposes. We say
it to the credit of both parties that
we do not believe bribery in any
form exists.
The campaign expenses here
consist in the distribution of liter
allure, the expense of polling the
county, the rent of halls, expenses
OF speakers, livery hire and the ex-
pense of getting the voters to the
polls on election day. We hope
that the Republicans of the county
will take this matter to themselves
personally, and will without urg-
ing, respond generally and gener-
ously. Aside from financial con-
slderations however, there is much
personal work that should be
done. Every republican voter
should take it upon himself to try
to convince his Democratic neigh
Dor, and thus secure his co-opera-
ton for the continuance of pros.
Perlty. Every township and dis
trlct committeeman should feel

contained in the platform of any
political party. We do not sup
pose there is a man in the county
who approves of every act of the
party with which he is affiliated.
We have profound contempt for
the man who is unable to see that
ne himself, has made any mistakes
in his past life, and the same is
true with political parties. We
wish the voter would then look at
both of the political parties as
whole. We wish that he would
compare the general state of the
country during both republican and
democratic administrations, we
wish that he would glance over the
history of our country and see
which party has more often been
right. We wish that he would
take glance at the state govern
ments controlled by democrats and
republicans; we wish that he would
compare Pennsylvania to Alabsma;
Arkansas and Iowa, Louisiana and
Illinois, Mississippi and Michigan,
Missouri and Ohio; if he finds that
IN democratic states prosperity has
been more general and liberty more
universal; if he finds that the gen
eral trend of democracy has been
more helpful to this country, if he
finds that democratic times have
been more prosperous than repub-
lican times, it is his duty to vote
the democratic ticket. 1t would
be his duty to do so even though
he did not agree with democracy in
all the expressions of its platform,
if he could we'll say to himself that
while democracy might be mistaken
in a single instance, its record
showed that on the whole it was
good Tor the country to be under
democratic control, therefore, while
we think every voter should be in
formed upon the particular issues,
while every voter should have an
opinion on the science of govern
ment, yet we maintain that the
paramount issue is, which party,
judged from its past and present,
is the more apt to give to this
country prosperity and govern
ment. 1t is needless to say that
we believe wherever such a com.
parison is instituted, it will be
favorable to the republican party.
Our democratic friends call it ere
publican luck" but this is the slur
which is always made at the sue
cessful man. and it is nearly al
ways the case that merit is at the
bottom of luck after all. We,
therefore, invite this comparison of
records, we invite this close scru.
tiny of democratic and republican
administrations and of democratic
and republican states and are per
fectly willing to abide by the deci-
sion which the good judgment Of
the voter would dictate.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1900-07-31
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

There is a great deal of discus
sion both by public men and the
public press as to what is the para
mount issue in this campaign. In
our opinion this discussion is COM
paratively futile. No man, no
newspaper, or no party can at will
manufacture paramount issue.
The great question at stake in ev-
cry campaign is: What will be for
the best interests of the people OF
the United States? This has been
and always will be the paramount
issue. At different times this issue
finds expression in different forms.
In an aggregation of over seventy
million of people, there are certain
to be many sets of theories ad-
vanced for the perfection of gov
eminent.
To large number of people the
suppression of the liquor traffic is
the paramount issue. To the
members of trade unions, the rails
ing of the standard of wages and
the lessening of the hours of labor
are the great questions. In the
south it is apparent that the para
mount issue is the suppression of
the negro vote. In business cir
cles the most important object is to
secure sound medium of exchange
with which to transact business.
With the manufacturer the pro-
tective tariff is the paramount,
while the importer longs for free
trade. All these people may be
deemed honest in considering their
especial desire to be the paramount
issue at stake in this campaign.
1t will be noted, however, that as
stated before, the main idea
present in the mind of every man
is prosperity and good government.
We have seen, however, that the
selfish motive largely enters in the
individual judgment of what is the
most important thing to be done.
We would even advise the voter
not to wrap himself up in any one
theory nor to- allow any one pro-
ject to hide from his view the gen.
eral welfare. We should Judge the
political parties as we do men, not
by any one trait, but by their whole
life history. A man may be pro-
fame but still be good-hearted and
true, and helpful to his brothers;
he may have more ability and be a
better all-round citizen than the
man who is more chaste in his
language. This does not lessen
the oHense of profanity, but in
seeking a man for a position of
trust, we must consider all things,
place the good and bad in the bal
ance and render decision from all
the facts in the case.
We do not suppose that there is
man in this county who is abso-
lutely pleased with every statement
