IoWA'S sTALWART REPUBLI.
CANS.
est. Louis Globe-Democrat.)

The Hawkeye states republican,
have put up ticket which will win,
and have framed platform which
clearly and oourageously meets all the
tests of party orthodoxy. They in
dorse the administration of President
Roosevelt; approve of the work done
in the recent session of congress, es-
pecially the measures for the reduc.
tion of taxation. for a civil govern.
ment in the Philippines and for the
construction of an Isthmian canal; fa
vor the continuation of the enlighten
ed policy pursued by the government
in the Philippines; stand by the his.
toric principles Of the republican par
ty in giving adequate protection to
home industry and applaud the Pres
ident's action in proceeding against
the trusts in the courts.
On this sort of a platform the Iowt
republicans will sweep their state il
November. The canvass in Iowa il
attracting great attention both out Of
the state and III it. The entire dele
cation of the state in congress was al
the convention. The press Of the coun
try has given much space to the cam
paign in that state. At the present
moment Iowa has larger number Of
men of national proportions than al
most any other state of the forty-five
in proportion to population. One OF
them, Senator Allison, has been pc
tent figure in national politics fol
many years, and has often been men
toned in connection with the presi
dency. Another of them, Secretary
Shaw, stands in the list of presiden
tial possibilities in the near future
Still another of them, Speaker Hen
derson, is one of the most potent per.
sonages in congress. These are cir
cumstanees which would, in any case,
give national interest to it's canvass
in 1902.
Although Iowa has been constantly
republican for many years, except dur,
ing the breaks in which Boies was
elected governor, some of the demo-
cratic politicians have been boasting
that their party has chance to carry
is this year. The courageous and in
telligent action of the republican con.
yention just held, and the enthusiasm
displayed thereat, show that all such
hopes are vain. The republicans OF
that state have opened their canvass
under the happiest auspices. They
are under able leadership, have an in
spring platform and know the value
of a republican victory as means of
maintaining the states prestige No
one doubts that they will rise to the
level of their opportunities. 1t is safe
to predict that Iowa will contribute
it's full quota to the handsome major
ity which the republican party will
win in the state and congressional
canvasses of 1902.

PROSPECTS FOR TIE CONTROL
OF TRUSTS.

If the democrats should succeed in
of congress. it is scarcely probable
that they would enact such bill for
the control OF trusts as would be con-
Cured in by the senate, which Will be
republican. In fact it is scarcely prob
able that the democrats themselves
could agree upon a bill of that char
acter. They are divided in opinion as
to the best way to treat the trust ques-
ton and to apply remedy. If it were
left to the democrats they would be
powerless, not only because they could
not make terms with republican SEN
ate but on account of the incongruous
elements of populism, socialism, Bry-
anism and old time democrats who
constitute the aggregation. There
could be no agreement on measure
that the people desire or that the sit
uation demands
On the other hand, the republicans
with President Roosevelt as their
leader, have determined on 'regula-
lions that will control great combina-
tions of capital that prevent competi-
ton" The Iowa resolutions that were
adopted with such enthusiasm, gave
the key note to the national campaign
and at the next session of congress
the first steps will be taken to carry
out the policy indicated by state con-
yentions and the plain utterances of
the President. The hope of the people
therefore, is in the party that has the
courage of it's convictions and never
yet has failed to make good it's solemn
promises. The trusts will be restrain
ed and if it be necessary in order to
accomplish this, that tariff schedules
must be modified, they will be modified
accordingly and yet the principle of
protection to American industries will
be conserved. Thefrepublican party
can do this and this it will do, because
it is pledged to do SO by it's highest
representatives.

and his free silver humbugs in 1896.
He regards these democrats as dan
gerous ballast for the democratic ship,
to be thrown overheard along with all
others who decline his captaincy. On
the other hand, the sound money dem
ocrats offer no obstacle to harmony.
lnasmuch as they look upon free silver
as a dead issue beyond the power OF
restoration. Even in the silver produc-
ing Rocky mountain states democrats
and republicans alike have abandoned
the issue and it's only supporters are a
remnant of the populists, of whose doc
trines Mr.. Bryan is true representa-
tive and champion.

A Good Succession

Algona Upper Des Moines (Repub-
lican): Six years ago last spring F.
H. Slasle planted lot of acorns in
rows inside the walk of his residence
block, just northeast from the North
western passenger depot. 1t will pay
anyone who has doubts about the
feasibility of raising oaks to go and
see the trees that have grown from
those acorns. They are not large, but
they are six feet high and are max,
ing a rapid and heavy growth. Sew,
eral acorns were planted in each hill.
and so there are several saplings
growing up together. Mr. Slagle will
cut off all but one. and from the stalk
left he will soon have fine trees and a
good shade

With Bryan Out.

The first thing for the democrats in
Iowa to do, if they are to have. even
hope OF success in the congressional
elections, the Davenport Democrat
contends, is to get the platform right.
IF proper platform is adopted the
right men will accept nominations, y
the Democrat asserts; 'if the plat
form blunders again the men who have
chance to win will not permit their
names to be used" What the Demo
crat means by proper platform is
one from which all Organism has been
eliminated.
