tary Long or Mr.. Dolliver no one else
will have a show. The movement in ia
vor OF Mr.. Andrew D. White, our am
bassador to Germany, has been consid-
erably retarded by the discovery OF
certain remarks in a book which he
published in 1896 that may give offense
to some of the religious sects. The
book is entitled ga History of the War
fare Between Science and Theology
and it is now being carefully examined
by the republican leaders in order to
determine whether it disqualities Mr.
White for the nomination.

MARK HANNA. EDITOR.

The campaign romancer has begun
to get in his work, and if the first sam
pies are a criterion of his future pro-
yductions the people will be entertained
with high-class quality of fiction
from the present time until after the
election. One of the most imaginative
fairy tales is mentioned in the Wash
ington correspondence of the Chicago
Record. Tt is to the effect that, ac-
cording to statement made at demo-
cratic headquarters in Washington
Mark Hanna wants to be editor-in- chief
of the country press Of the United
States. Officers of the national demo-
cratic organization claim that the re-
publican executive committee is MAX
ing preparations to buy, lease or sub
sidize every democratic or .wobbly re-
publican paper in the country districts
for campaign purposes. Democrats
claim they have inside information TO
the effect that barrels of republican
money are to be used to capture the
country newspapers in every doubtful
state or close congressional district,
and that the republican executive COM
mittee now has list of such papers
with their values. They claim that this
information was unconsciously given
to the enemy by Senator Thomas Car
ter, of Montana, who told of the scheme
in conversation with Denver friend
while on sleeping car coming out of
Washington recently. The informa-
ton was given to Secretary Charles A.
Walsh, of the democratic national com
mittee, by G. M. Hyskell, proprietor Of
the Burlington Democratic ournal. The
national democratic committee has is

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
CrunIb. of Comfort.

Des Moines Leader: The advocates
of political equality will find crumbs of
comfort in recent news from London.
A bill allowing women in London to
be elected aldermen, or alderwomen,
has passed to its second reading in the
English house of commons. The Sec
ond reading does not pass a bill, aud
the government is against this one, but
the majority for it, 24s to 129, indicates
that women are likely to hold official
positions in London some time before
they do in this country.

Good sense In Iowa.

Sioux City Tribune: Attention is
being called to the remarkable cordial
ity between capital and labor in Iowa
and the absence of strikes. Strikes oc-
cur mostly in the manufacturing lines,
and the chief industry Of Iowa is agri-
culture. But it is no doubt true, as
stated, that the freedom from strikes
in the state is due largely to the good
sense and conservatism of the people.

Red Oak Republican: A recent ut

Bryan the most effective blow of the
campaign. 1t is said that four years
ago that candidate excused his travel

ers by saying that times were SO hard
that the voters could not afford to
come to him and that the gold stan
dard was the reason for their poverty.
He had to go to meet the mountain
for the mountain was unable to meet
him. This year he will not stir from
Lincoln and will receive delegations at
his front porch "Times must be bet

the gold standard" The thrust was
very neat.

inforced by people from other places.
