Of his life to be named as one of the dele

now succeeded in having himself elected
National Committeeman. If there is any
thing else in sight that the Senator would
like to have the Pie-maker suggests that he
name it at once so that the politicians in
future will not scrap for such coveted po-
sitions wanted by himself. It is an easy
matter for the Senator to capture all such
prizes because he can barter federal posi-
tions for them, but the day is coming when
he, ''having sowed to the wind shall reap the
whirlwind." 1t is impossible for one man to
assume the position of "IT' in the political

haps Senator Ankeny will serve her pur-

others. The National Committeeman is an
office with empty honors and a large ex-
pense account as perquisite. The duties
of the National Committeeman are more or
less perfunctory, and especially Western
Committeeman and therefore, it is imma-
teria1 to the politicians of the state who the
selected man is. Inasmuch as the patron

bers of congress and not with the Commit

Tie Biennial Elections.

The general assembly, by an
overwhelming majority, has
shown itself favorable to the
idea of holding biennial cleo
tons in Iowa and having the
ali ornate years free from con-
tests and political fights. The
house voted, u to l, yesterday,
in favor of submitting to the
people a constitutional amend
m, Mt, providing for biennial
ele ctions. The same bill had
already passed the senate by 9
lal ge majority.
This is the amendment voted
upon and carried two years
ago, and was declared uncon-
stitutional on the technically
of not having been properly
entered on the records of the
General Assembly. The meas
ure is in popular favor and will
again be submitted to a vote OF
thu electors this fall and if car
ried, which it no doubt will be,
there will be no election the
coming November, and all
terms of Office that expire Jan.
/, 1906, will be extended one
year, and all county officers will
be elected once in two years.

"Toat Fair, Gentlemen.

Our republican friends are
just now very busy in selecting
a candidate for President for
the democratic party, and have
about concluded that Grover
Cleveland would about fill the
the bill, which, no doubt, is true,
il the object is to give Roosevelt
a walk-away in the Presidential
race. The true democracy Of
this country are not hankering
after Grover, nor would they as
a party, support him if nomina-
ted. So far as a choice between
Cleveland and Roosevelt in con-
cerned, Roosa, has the prefer
ence. If we are to have a re-
publican, give us one that is not
sailing under false colors. No
doubtful candidate need apply,
nor would the democracy vote
for any man whose political or
party standing has to be certi-
fed by the republican party.
No man doubts the ability of
Grover Cleveland, but ability
without integrity as the more
dangerous, and as for his de-
mocracy, no one for a moment
can regard him as sound or re-
liable. In the hour Of trial he
deserted the party that carried
him to victory and joined the
ranks of the enemy. 1t will not
do for him or his friends to say
that w. ]. Byan was not a dem
ocrat. Any man fairly nominal
ted by the democratic party in
| a National Convention, and who
polled 6,592,925 votes out of a
fatal vote of l3,711,954 votes,
must certainly be regarded as a
respectable candidate of any
party, and no democrat who
deserted the old banner and the
6,592,925 voters then, is worthy
