ndmirals for the victories or Manla
and Santiago, but Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt Of the rough riders is the
chief magistrate Of the republic.
VIII 1t always be thus? No man can
tell. One thing is dead sure, hawever-if
we are to Judge the future by the past,
and there is no better rule, the midship-
men now Mt Annapolis, as well MS all
naval officers Of higher rank, may as
well dismiss from their minds at once
and forever all idea of becoming presi-
dent of this puissant republic an idea
which has destroyed the happiness Of
many distinguished soldier. The
naval officers chance Of attaining that
honor must be considered nil unless he
quits the service and enters the ranks
of some other profession which brings
him into closer personal contact with
the great body of the people.
1.-TWO Voices
On dit that President Roosevelt. Gov
sernor A. r. Cummins ct al "have
come to IN understanding" rs to how
the Iowa idea" shall appear In the
Iowa platform this year. Two years
ago 1t was expressed in the following
vigorous language:
We stand by the historic policy Of the
Republican party in giving protection to
home industries and point for its ample
vindication to the extraordinary rapidity
with which our national resources have
been developed and our industrial and
financial independence secured. We favor
such changes In the tariff from time to
time as become advisable through the
progress Of our Industries and their
changing relations to the commerce OF tho
world. We indorse the policy Of Feciproc.
ity as the natural complement OF protec.
ton and urge Its development as neces-
bary to the realization OF our highest
commercial possibilities. We favor any
modification OF the tariff schedules that
may be required to prevent their afford
ing Q shelter to monopoly
At Governor Cummins' conference
With Mr.. Roosevelt ut Washington the
president sought to ascertain exactly
the orthodoxy OF Cummins principles.
1t was then discovered that they could
practically agree by using the Repub-
lican national platform OF 1896. adopt
ed at the st. Louis convention. Gov
ernor Cummins declared that this was
as radical as anything he ever thought
Of advocating. Senator Allison was
then approached rs the most infiuel-
tial member OF the Iowa delegation at
Washington capable Of bringing his
colleagues around to Cummins' ideas.
On dit also TINT Senator William r.
Allison has been agreed upon as the
person to write tho platform. john
], Ingalls, once said. "Allison can walk
over q tin roof with hobnailed shoes
and make less noise than cat. walk
ing over a moquette carpet" It is
also said that Senator Allison will thus
seuphemistically express the Iowa
idea:" x H.
We are not pledged to any particula,
practical one! to be governed by the con
