The opening Of hossilities between

tempt by the President to limit the

nUssIA's NEW DISCOVERY
Finds That the Jap Envoy at Tho Hague
Hns Been Plotting

Finds That the Jap Envoy at Tho Hague
Hns Been Plotting.
st. Petersburg, Nov. Z. = The Asso-
ciated Press has not obtained official
confirmation of the sensational report
that an Intercepted dispatch from the
Japanese minister Mt The Hague would
be produced in the court of inquiry
into the recent North sea incident to
prove the existence Of n plot to destroy
tho Russian Baltic sea fleet. The story
Is that the Japanese minister at The
Hague actually organized an attack on
the Russian squadron, and that the
Russians will produce message sent
by the minister containing complete
evidence that such was the case. The
message is said to have been inter-
eepted by the Russians.
Another remarkable story is current
in well-informed circles to the effect
that two balloons We're seen lowering
over the Skagerack when the Russian
fleet entered the North sea. These ball
looms We're said to have been manned
by Japanese with the object of watch
ing the Russians, and possibly drop
ping explosives. No hint of suspicion
Is expressed in any responsible quar-
ter that the British government was in
the slightest degree responsible for the
alleged Vaccinations Of the Japanese
agents.
The Hague, Nov. 7.-Naboukata Nit
suhashi, the japanese minister to The
Netherlands, in an interview with the
Associated Press denies absolutely the
statement from St Petersburg that be

mate such a man or adopt such a
platform.
Every republican organ that
earnestly desires the overthrow of
the democratic party, is opposed to
having the democratic party nomi-
nate such candidate or adopt such
a platform.
Every man who deserted from the
democratic party in 1896, and who
will vote for Roosevelt this year I'M
less the democrats nominate a better
trust protector, is opposed to having
the democrats nominate such can
didate or adopt such platform.
Every man engaged in the bust
ness of cutting wages, destroying
competition and perverting govern
ment is violently opposed to having
the democrats nominate such can
didate or adopt such a platform.
And all Of these men will join in
rejoicing if the democratic national
convention fails to nominate true
democrat for the Office of president
and fails to adopt truly democratic
platform.
Iowa democrats should speak out
plainly in favor of true democratic
principles. In 1896 we asserted our
manhood and declared in favor of
human rights all along the line, and
the result fully justified our course.

And euery real democrat is as much
out Of place 1uith such men as he
would be with the crew Of q pirate
ship.
The issue this year is already
made and it cannot be changed by
any number of campaign managers.
Stripped Of all special pleading it
has narrowed down to a struggle
between democracy and plutocracy.
Men like August Belmont are try
ing to deliver our party to the plu-
tocrats, and have already silenced
the voice and unnerved the arm Of
the democracy Of the Empire State.
But their attempt should not sue
coed.
1t is the mission of the democratic
party to oppose the forces that con-
spire to restrict production, fix prices,
destroy competition and corrupt gou-
ernment, and it does not deserve sue
cess unless tits true to its mission.
The democratic party cannot euen
hope for success at the coming election,
unless it dominates a candidate and
adopts a platform which wiU offer to
the producing masses an unmistakable
guarantee against continuance Of the
present unlawful esactions of preda-
tory wealth.

The entire fusion state ticket is

He struck on his head. When Ne re.

but it was some time before he could

Political campaigns have become

five hundred thousand dollars, the
principle part of which was con

The above sum probably includes
the large amount expended by them

The campaign managers could
not manufacture an issue that
would interest the people this year,
and there was no ginger in the cam
paign until Judge Parker approached
the real issue by attacking the
trusts during the closing days Of
his canvass. From that time on
there was something doing, but the
doing did not commence soon
enough to be of any benefit to the
Judge.

President Roosevelt announces
that he will not accept another
presidential nomination. If he tries
to make a good president during
the next four years and tries to pre-
vent the trusts from stacking the
cards in their dealings with the
public, there is strenuous work in
store for him. He will have to be
good deal better than his party
managers, ifhe accomplishes any
thing Of substantial benefit to the
