Iowa City. Feb. PA formal an
nnurcernsnt Was matte here last t,aggie
by the friends of Judge Wade, demo-
cuasic congressman from THE second
dds MtcIh ANA Jerry b. Sullivan, demo-
cratic carlraafate fog, governor of Iowa
at the, last general election tlnaf Meth

New York congressman showed a great
deaf d1lelre strength THAN he docs at the

Iowa democracy in Iris section of the
Stale does mot intend TO appear dc
tortial in the COUNCILS cf the gsatfona;
organl 7alt,ion There are ssyerag reas-
olns for this. the principal ore, on
course being the fact ;hat Iowa wtf.
sersd no Democratic Delegates 10 the
aeuyonaG college,. But the very fact
OF the weaa.nissS CO the Iowa demo-
crafts IS all the greater reason ttak thee
should stand closer together in tlle
present cidsis- 1t is tntinlatsd e,er.

can not assume the active lead IN the
national organization OF the party that
she could II ssiia were a democratic
state. Tho work that REMAINS then
for her democratic leaders 10 do is to
exert the nsoral influence that their
unity and saoctd front would INSPIRE"
Judge Wade is THE only man in the
RANKS who has been eieeted
10 a high office in recent years. aud the
position which he assumes in the COM
