Iowa cfaWdads

Taken on the whole the managers
of the Iowa democratic convention
were lot of shell-fish. If they were
to come to Hutchinson, they would
be captured by the small boys and
sold at the rate of two for cent
for crawdads. The democratic party
had assumed positive progressive
policy. 1t made two campaigns on
that policy, and now these fellows
propose to turn tail and run away
from it, and abandon the fight. If
they do not get licked after such ac-
tons there is something strange and
not understood in the temper of the
reople.-Hutchinson (Kas.) Gazette
(dem.).
The Iowa democrats are deceiyin Q
themselves instead of deceiving the
voters. The time has passed when the
intelligent, independent voters-the
voters that determine the issue OF cleo
tion-are to be caught with such stuff.
The party that resorts to meaningless
platitudes, lodges issues and at
tempts to deceive the voters is invit-
ing defeat and is deserving of defeat.
Milwaukee News.
The Iowa democrats at their recent
state convention voted down a propo-
platform, and also declined by a deci-
sive vote to declare themselves in
favor of government railroads in the
event that government control"
should not prove effective. The party
is now throwing off it's mask, proving
that its former protestations against
the trusts and in favor of the people
were merely to catch the reform vote.
The leaders and managers of the dem
ocratic party from it's early history to
the present have favored the ex-
ploiters of labor, Notwithstanding
many of the rank and file have thought
and do think differently. The demo-
cratic party is sure to split wide open
at its next national convention on
economic questions, and there will be
no other place for the liberal element
to go but to the new, conscientious So
cialist party. Those of all parties who
are engaged in some useful avocation,
will find natural home there.-Long
Island (Kas.) Leader (soc.).
Louis F. Post Of the Chicago Public
is OF the opinion that the platform
adopted by the recent democratic
state convention in Iowa is no. vic
tory for the reorganizers. He con-
tends that it breathes the spirit of
the Kansas City platform of 1900
About this Iowa platform there is
some difference of opinion. But what
more could be expected in a state
where even the republicans don't know
what their platform means, and both
factions are claiming the victory? All
this confusion and contention growing
out of the senseless verbiage of plat
forms is a good text for political
lecture to platform makers. Platforms
in these days consist chiefly of hot
air. exceedingly raretied, to a point
even, where they can't sustain very
low order of political life. All that
any political party sincerely believes
could be expressed in dozen or two
of we'll worded lines. The issues
could be, but are not, made clear. The
party conventions seem to think they
will be heard and believed for their
much speaking. This is a phool no.
ton, and the sooner political parties
get away from it, the better. Long
winded platforms are not and ought
not to be read. Give us truth in the
fewest words.-kansas Commoner,

The DEMOCRAT hopes by next week to
have good batch of county news from
its correspondents. This interesting de-
partment has been running light late
possibly owing to the busy season at
harvest time.
The first threshing of the season round
hereabouts can be credited to G. w.
Andrews who did some work last Thurs
day evening and Friday morning on his
farms near Walhalla. He isn't keeping
the machine humming, however-It was
just to try the machine.

days.

There are $50 lawyers now practicing
in North Dakota, the number having
nearly doubled within the past five
years. Langdon, with dozen lawyers
has as extensive representation of bar
practitioners as any city of it's size in
the state.
| The local price of wheat keeps right
on climbing up to the so cent mark,
while on the other hand, flax slumps off
cent or two every time the market

until the two grains have now come
together at almost the same price per
! bushel

LONGING AND NOEL AT CANTON.
They Make Big Hit and Capture the

CANTON. Mss. May -. - The

day swayed the whole crowd. 1t was
/; masterful presentation of the~vital
issues of the day, and a review Of the
features of his administration as
Governor. for which he is being criti-
cised by his opponent, Senator Money.
He swept the crowd with his master
ly arguments in support Of his posi-
tion. and at it's conclusion they cheer
ed him loud and long. 1t is manifest
that he captured the citizens assem-
bled here today, and they were here
in large numbers from all parts Of the
county, being representative men of
the county in every respect.
Mr.. Noel in the evening presented
for the second time his candidacy tC
the voters of Madison county, and he
was enthusiastically received by them
His speech was able and met every
criticism that has been made upOr
him by opponents. 1t is fully con
ceded that the county will go largel,
for Longino, and Mr.. Noel's friend
claim as much for him.

the war. His funeral was largely at
tended by white people who scattered
flowers on his grave.
