Mid Eldridge says that those fellows
who think there are no democrats in
Iowa ought to have been at Cedar
Rapids last Thursday.
There is much enthusiasm hereabouts
over politics. With us country folks
the all absorbing question is the trusts.
Almost everything we have to buy is
controlled by trust, sugar, tea, coffee
hardware and in fact most everything
as said, that we have to buy. If the
people only knew Just how much they
are compelled to pay these robbers
there would be more of them that
would enthuse.
What is the matter with Judge Seeds .
is question have heard asked several
times since he came back from Wash
Iington. He does look fatigued and
careworn. 1t cannot be from over.
work, for the employees at the National
capitol get good pay and are not re-
quired to work many hours. will tell
you what think troubles him. My
judgment is that he has been sent
home TO prepare himself to make re.
publican speeches during the presiden
ial campaign. He is undoubtedly
trying to prepare the speeches. The
Judge comes of good, honest, Quaker
stock and is well posted, and therefore
it is costing him great mental strug
gle to attempt to make defense of the
Hanna administration, but he has go
to do 1t or lose his job, and that is, in
my humble opinion, what ails the
Judge.
Irepeat the main issue at the coming
election is Trusts VS.. People, and
believe the defendant will win.
