AS to Postum Politics.
(From the Red Oak SUM

The Sun doesn't believe in pos
sum politics. 1t believes that Iowa
Democrats can best make and keep
the Democratic party strong in Iowa
by having respect for themselves
and faith in their own judgment.
The candidate whom majority of
Iowa Democrats would prefer, as
the best man for the party in Iowa,
would undoubtedly be the best man
for the party in other states and the
best saes. Athescoulltry. Mort IS It
to be conceded that Iowa cannot be
carried by that sort Of a candidate
on platform as good and true as
the man.
The Democratic party in Iowa is
many thousand votes stronger than
it was.in 1892. Bryan polled 27.S74
more votes in Iowa in 1896 than
Cleveland polled in this state in
1892. Only eight states in the
Union cast more Democratic votes III
1900 than Iowa. They are Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Iowa cast within II per cent as many
Depocratic votes in 1900 as Ken
lucky and within 20 per cent as
many as Texas. Iowa cast more
then seven times as many Demo
cratic votes in 1900 as Florida, foul
times as many as Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi or South Carolina, NOR,
than three times as many as Ala
bama, Arkansas or Georgia, ant
some thousands more than Nortl
Carolina. Tennessee or Virginia.
Iowa is certainly entitled to voic'
and influence in the Democratic
national convention. Ii should ex.
ercise both to the full extent 1t judg
ment can be relied upon. It's lead
ership would be good for the party
and the country.
AS large number Of the state
which can be certainly counted OIL
to furnish electoral votes for thu
Democratic nominee for presiden
are likely TO be for the same MAJ
that Iowa Democrats so general,
prefer, instruction by the Democrat
ic state convention at Des Moines on
May 4 for Vim. r. Hearst for pres
ident would be hailed by them a
wise and proper. But if they didn'
so hail, it would be just as wis
and proper.

cessful in politics than it is il

Ram OF this city will probably be
selected as oneofthe district delegates
TO the republican national conven-
ton Mr.. Ram is fairly entitled to the
position. AT one time he was about
the only publisher in the district
who contended that tariff taxes were
not too high and that the tariff bar
ons should be allowed to retain
every tariff now on the statute books
He stood pat for everything that
the tariff barons wanted, and if they
retain control of the district they
will be very apt to reward him for
his loyalty TO them.

Brewster Admires Hearst.

When the Hearst boom commence
ed sweeping across the praires of
Iowa, Mr.. Brewster, the veteran
democrat who edits the Ottumwa
Evening Democrat, hung back in
the harness and seemed unwilling to
start with his old time party associ-
ates; but he is now getting into line
all right, and Judging from some Of
his recent editorials he will soon be
we'll up towards the head of the
column. We extract the following
from recent editorial written by
Mr.. Brewster and it is all right:
"The editor Of The Democrat admires
VIM. R. Hearst. We admire him
because, as rich man, who reached
his majority, having been cradled
in wealth and luxury, and reared in
an atmosphere of wealth, when he
came into possession of that great
fortune he chose a life Of industry,
instead OF elegant Incidence. Because
since that time, he has made great
success of one of the grandest pro-
fessions on earth-journalism; be-
cause he has seen fit to cast his lot
his sympathies and fortunes with the
masses Of the people instead of the
classes; because he uses the in
iluence of his great metropolitan
papers for the betterment of his fel-
low men, and to curb the greedy
rich, and spends his money freely
for the amelioration of the condition
of mankind in general, and relieve
distress wherever he sees or hears of
it, to the best of his ability.
eve admire w. r. Hearst because
he is a democrat, and is willing to
stand or fall, win or lose his millions,
fighting for the great principles of
democracy, promulgated by Jeifer-
son, fought for by Jackson, and SC
ably defended in two campaigns by
that peerless leader of democracy, w.
j. Bryan. We admire the splendid
fight Mr.. Hearst is making in his
papers for democratic principles,
and democrats the country over
should feel grateful to him for it,
and support his papers in return. "

Elk Auditor of State Merriam re-
turned to Des Moines last week and
notified the investigating committee
that he was ready to explain all that
that he knew about the examination
of insurance companies during his
term of Office. He intimated in an
interview, that in the examination
Of foreign insurance companies, he
did nothing more than obey the re-
taliatory statutes of the state of Iowa
which required him to treat foreign
insurance companies doing business
in Iowa the same as the states in
which they We're incorporated treat
ed Iowa insurance companies.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1904-03-30

All the "kept" and monopolis tic
newspapers of the country are trying
to malign Mr.. Hearst. Uncon-
sciously they are doing more to help
him just at present than anything
else. The enmity of lawbreakers,
no matter how rich they are, is yet
a decoration to be desired by any
candidate. The masses of the peo-
pie of this country are not yet in
favor of pandering to predatory
wealth, and it will be sad day for
everyone if they ever should. Men
who earn their money admire men
like Mr.. Hearst.

st. Petersburg Paper Says Sympathy TO,
Japan Is on the Wane.

st. Petersburg. March 2G.-The
Bourse Gazette, in leading article
on Japophilism, maintains that the
pro-Japanese sympathy among the
commercial nations ut the outbreak of
the war is not being sustained, owing
to the fuller realization that the
growth of Japan into Il great COM
mercial country will mean the de-
structions of all that Europeans have
accomplished in the far east.
A correspondent mt Port Arthur
has interview Il Russian officer who
has returned from Shanghai The Of
ficer says the British there are rejoic-
ing at the news of the Japanese vic
tories and that bulletins, in English
and Chinese, are distributed in the
streets, reporting the destruction of
the Russian fleet and the fall of Port
Arthur.

Organization Is Perfect but Food Hard to
Get in Korea.
London, March pa series of mes
sages, dated between March 10 and
March II, sent by a correspondent of
The Daily Mail at Chinamplio, Korea,
describes the perfect organization and
arrangements of the Japanese in
Korea. Elaborate preparations have
been made for landing troops and adj
vancing them through tile country,
and pontOon bridges and stables are
built wherever they are found to be
necessary. The greatest difficulty, fac
ing the Japanese is the conlmissariat,
us owing to the poor food supplies Of
Korea it is only possible Mt present
to maintain 10000 men.
The Japanese hold two enormously
strong positions at Ping Yang and
on the Miokak-San Pangc. between
Hwang-Ju and Seoul. The latter the
correspondent says, is probably i'm
preSnnblc. and secures Seoul from land
attacks from the northwest. In the
event of defeat it is intended to hold
the passes ut KaZan, thus protecting
the Ping Yang valley. The Japanese
troops are suffering from dyscntcry
and pneumonia, and many of the cav
airy horses, which the correspondent
says are poor have died, but the army
is full of spirit.
There probably are 10000 japanese
ut Ping Yang, which the correspondent
points out might easily have been
taken when the Russian scouts first
arriN ID, there being then only $50 Jap
