DEMOCRACY IN IOWA.
v. J. Ranck Gays Reaffirming Kansas
City Platform Was Formally.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 26.-V. ].
Ranck, of Iowa City, Ia, who was
chairman of the democratic state cen
trail committee of Iowa in 1895 and
1896, while in this city said that he did
not consider the affirmation of the
Kansas City platform by the demo
cratic convention in Iowa to mean
that the democrats of that state are in
favor of free silver or William Jen-
nings Bryan as candidate for presi.
dent. Mr.. Ranck voted for Mckinley
in 1896 and says that he will probab
ly, hereafter, vote the republican tick
ct unless there is some radical change
in that party's policy.
"Of course, there are cranks in the
democratic party and they are a part
of the populist wing, which is also the
biggest part of that party" said Mr.
Ranck, '.but | think that two thirds oil
the democrats of the state are opposed
to free silver Their action means
simply that they decided to leave tho
discussion of national questions unit
the national convention of 1904. Mr.
Phillips, the new candidate, mayor Of
Ottumwa, is unknown in state politics
He is new man.
What, do you think will be the re
suit OF the election in Iowa." was asl,
ed.
Well said Mn Ranck, 81 think the
republican candidate for governor will
,be elected by $4,000 or 10000 major
ity. There is division in the repub
lican party. but by November thinl

1t seems that the British general,
Lord Kitchener, is having the same
trouble as all other successful gen
erals who remain in control too
long. He has met with one or two
reverses and the British public is
ready to condemn him, notwith-
standing his successes in the past.
This is only another Illustration Of
one OF the peclliarties OF human NJ.
ture. Let a man be successful es.
pecially in military exploits, and
demonstrate that he deserves praise
and the public will laud him TO the
skies, but let this same man then
meet. with one or two defeats and he
is condemned without mercy as not
being worthy OF tie peoples trust.
But then, such Is life, and the really
successful man. is he who knows
when to retire with his greatness
and does not hang on in the hope oil
securing some new glory.
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1901-07-25

The passing of Bryan has begun,
at least so far as being leader OF the
democratic party is concerned. The
decided action of the Ohio demo-
Gratis the other day in their state
convention is the first chapter in a
story which can only end in COM
plete overthrow OF the peerless
Leader" and his lieutenants. The
feeling of discomfort has been grow
ing for months among the demo-
cratic ranks, but the recent action
of the Ohio democrats is the first
public expression oft. Henry Wat
terson has said it would come /;
David b. Hill has voiced alike opin-
ion; and in fact all OF the old line
democrats are satisfied that under
Bryan and his populistic principles
there IAN be no success. He will I'M
doubtedly have small following
still, but il will be composed OF the
remnants OF the old populist party
and the mnlcontents from all par.
ties. From the leader OF a great
party he has become tho boss OF a
faction and heneeforth he will cut
but little figure in democratic coun-
ellis.
