TOWNE ON "UNFINISHED BUSINESS.

the head of unfinished business. I"
Possibly shis may not be as
pleasing sentiment just at this
time to Mr.. Bryan as it is to Mr..
Towne; but if such is the case, Mr..
Bryan will not dare to say so.
Mr.. Towne left the republican
party four years ago because the
republican party's policy with re-
gard to silver coinage was unsatis-
factory to him. His views on free
silver at 10 to are precisely the
same as Mr.. Bryan's, but at pres
ent he is little more candid in ex-
pressing them. Mr.. Towne is a
sincere man in the matter of con
victions, and subtle humorist in
his manner of expressing them.

Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul,
who rendered very effective aid to
the republican ticket in 1896, has
been travelling abroad and the re-
port has gone forth that he did not
intend to support Mckinley for re-
election. However, it certainly
was not we'll founded. In an in
terview in Paris this week he said
he was hurrying home to lend his
vote and influence to the repub-
lican ticket. He declares that the
administration has handled with
sagacity, craftsmanship and pa
triotism, and in a manner which
deserves the approval of the Amer
lean people, great problems of
domestic and foreign policy. He
says he, is for the party and the
policy which have done SO much
to justify the estimation in which
our country is held abroad. Sac

LARGE AND SUCCESSFUL MEETING.

Governor Shaw's meeting on

everybody, not only in the size of
the audience which came out to

the address delivered by the Gov

WHAT BRYAN STANDS FOR.

A chain is no stronger than its
weakest link; platform no strong

litical party, to be honest, must be
sincere in all its declarations, not
simply in part of them. We do
not wish to charge the democratic

from it must follow that they are
equally in earnest concerning every
principle which they have set forth.

This week the name of I. P.
Conner takes the place of that OF
]. P. Dolliver on the republican
ticket at the head of this column.
The nomination of Judge Conner
gives general satisfaction in the
state, and insures that a man OF
exceptional ability and command
ing presence will succeed the bril-
liant Dolliver in the lower house OF
congress. Judge Corners speech
of acceptance was a model of mod

real greatness of the man in his
ability to understand just what the

Bryan has said dozen times that
he would call the soldiers back
from Manila and lave six million
half civilized Dagos to burn up
our $40, 900, 900 worth of Catholic
churches in the Philippines. And
what would become of the $4,000
Catholic friars? What would be-
come of our poor Priests and the
thousands of Catholic converts I?
Why the Aguinaldians would kill
every Catholic priest and Catholic
convert and burn every Catholic
church on the island. Our priest
said SO Sunday, vote for Bryan!
1t will be sad day for our blessed
Catholic religion when we vote for
Bryan! We don't care for Bryan's

the following fine tribute in the

Judge Conner: "As Judge Con-

IN his profession, one of the ablest
judges that the district bench of
the state had, his private life is
above reproach, his character as a
man no less praiseworthy than his
talent as lawyer. Judge Conner
was one of the leading candidates
for the nomination twelve years
ago when Deliver was successful,
and like Mr.. Dolliver has won at
his second trying. He will be
elected by an old time Deliver
majority and he will at once rank
as one of the ablest men on the
Iowa delegation, and that means
as one of the ablest men in con-
gress."

HOW TO ENTHUSE.

HUW TU ENTHUSE.
Republicans, there is only one
way to enthuse, and that is to
enthuse. Do not wait for some
one else. Do not stop to see
what another township or anoth-
er locality is doing, but get to
work yourselves. There is a
great work to be done in the
county. This county ought to
be lined up with the balance Of
Iowa, and not with Arkansas and
Mississippi. There is too much
intelligence, too much genuine
prosperity, too much education
among the people of this county
for it long to remain stranded in
the depths of democracy. 1t is
something worth striving for to
redeem old Crawford. The odds
against us are more apparent
than real. Our people are read
ing, thinking people, place the
truths of republicanism before
them in a proper light, not boast
ingly, not abusively, and they
will listen and we believe will be
convinced. The plan of cam
paign adopted by the democrats
of this county is an insult to the
intelligence of their voters. In
stead of endeavoring to spread
broadcast the teachings of their
party, they are endeavoring to
quiet all discussion and to rely
simply upon party prejudice and
party affiliations to carry them
through. We understand that
the majority of the leaders Of
that party in this county have
decided upon what is termed a
"still hunt campaign.
If the issues of the campaign
amounted to nothing more than
a distribution of offices, if moth
ing greater were at stake, the
"still hunt might be a<wise and
honorable policy, but under the
circumstances when the govern
mental policies OF our country
for the next four years are at
stake, anything less than the most
one can do to give the people
full and complete information is
not only a crime, but blunder.
II the principles of democracy
are worth voting for, they ought
to be worth defending on the
stump and in every possible way.
1t IS a tremendous confession
OF weakness and insincerity to
rely Tor success, not upon reas-
on, not upon the mature iudg-
ment and conviction of the peo-
pie, but upon blind partisanship.
We believe that the democratic
leaders are counting without
their host; we believe that the
mass OF voters of this county are
earnestly striving to do the right
we believe that in so far as pos
sible they are studying the ques-
tions of the day and intend to
vote for those policies which
seem to them to be best for the
welfare of our country. 1t is for
this reason that we believe the
voters of the county will rebuke
the democratic leaders for the
low estimate which they have
placed upon them. They say in
effect there is no use of argument,
no use in trying to place the is
sues fairly before the people; we
can rely upon our voters to vote
the ticket simply because it is
labeled democratic and not be-
cause we are able to prove that
its principles are right.

remedy is that ownership and con

remedy is that ownership and con-
troll be assumed and exercised by
the people" If Mr.. Bryan is
honest, he stands upon this plank
as we'll as the others, and it must
be borne in mind that this propos-
ed government ownership is not
limled to railroads, telegraphs and
ki inbred things, but Includes in lis
scope all the large business enter
prises Of the country. MIR. Bryan
therefore, stands upon a plank
which advocates almost the aboli
ton ofprivate ownership and which
would place not only matters OF
transportation, but manufactures,
merchandising, and thousand
other branches of business under
public control, thus sitting that
great spirit of personal enterprise
and energy which has made the
United States the industrial ruler
of the world. Do not forget these
things when you come to vote; re-
member that you are voting for
one principle just as much as you
are for another, that if Mr.. Bryan
is honest. and our democratic
friends would not wish us think
otherwise, he stands as the cham
pion of every plank of every plat
form of which he is candidate.
Again we find that Mr.. Bryan
is the champion of state rights.
This is explicitly stated in the
democratic platform of 1896, and
is re-aflrmed in the platform of
1900; it says that Hthe democratic
party resists the tendency to the
Capitalization of governmental
power, and steadfastly maintains
the integrity OF the dual scheme of
government and the rights of the
states" This is the doctrine UNI
der which the south seeded; this
is the doctrine under which the
Tailoring men of the south are
being disfranchised; this is the
doctrine under which the demo-
Gratis in the house of representa-
tives refused to vote for a constitu-
tional amendment which should
give to congress the power to reg
ulate and control large corpora
Itions; this is the doctrine which
every man who wore the blue sup
posed had been shot to pieces in
the Civil war; this is the doctrine
for which Bryan stood in 1896 and
for which he stands today. Mr..
Bryan stands for a dozen other
principles as contradictory, as
absurd and as dangerous as these.
That is, he does if he is honest,
and our democratic friends would
not wish us to think otherwise.
We would invite the attention of
every democrat in this county to
these four platforms upon which
Mr.. Bryan stands today. There
are but two central thoughts run
ming through them all, one the
restoration OF free silver, the other
deposition to everything that Pres
ldent Mckinley has done. Attach.
ed to these central thoughts are
the absurdities and incongruities
a few OF which we have mentioned.
Mr.. Bryan and his followers may
prate about paramount issues as
they please, but to our mind the
paramount issue is: Shall the
(people elect to the high office of
president, man who asserts,
solemn]y and emphatically, that
he is firm advocate OF absolutely
|opposite policies from those which
have brought prosperity TO our
country, and who, if he is honest,
and we do not wish to think other
wise, IS pledged to the Immediate
enactment Of free silver and the re-
issuing of the greenbacks.

and intelligent farmers OF this
county, if they knew Mr.. Bryan
was pledged absolutely and entire
ly to the policy of free silver and
the re-issuing Of the greenbacks?
The petty quarreling as to which is
the paramount issue in this cam
paign is Of no practical value.
Every policy enunciated is i'm
portant. No matter if a man
promises to do something beneh-
cial, if at the same time he avows
that he intends to commit great
injury, would the wrong be over
looked, simply because it is urged
that the good will be done frst3
Relative to industrial matters,
we find Mr.. Bryan in the same
apparently inconsistent position.
The democratic platform denounc-
ing trusts demands a restoration of
the conditions of competition, i'm
plying that competition is to be the
saving clause in the industrial stu
alton. The populist platform goes
to the other extreme, it is not in
favor OF competition, but of social
ism, as implied in government
ownership. The plank in the pop
ulist platform upon which Bryan
stands explicitly states that zone
