In 1902 and 1908, should be successful
over Judge Wade by safe majority.
The Des Moines Capital observes
that Mr.. Bryan is not missing any Of
his chautauqua dates this year-not
even to address democratic campaign
meetings.
And after Judge Parkers letter will
come Mr.. Bryans accepting the Lead
ershlp OF the reform democracy" says
the Davenport Times. This will take
the form Of an interview or editoria,
showing that the candidate has neg
lected a splendid opportunity to
espouse the principles of true demo-
cracy"
Mr.. Bryan evidently wishes 1t to be
understood that the money plank was
left out Of the platform when he was
not looking" says the Burlington
hawk Eye. and 1t escaped Judge
Parker's notice While he was In swim

The democrats announce that they
will make skirmishes in the first, third,
sixth, eighth and ninth congressional
districts. If some republican should
die after 1t was too late to make an
other nomination, the Cedar Rapids
Gazette THINKS the chances of success
would be really good.
Some reorganized democrat In the
east has had the bad taste to class
Chas. A. Walsh of Iowa with the rest
OF the receding "reminiscences of Bry-
anlsm. The Cedar Rapids Republic
can thinks it is strange that they did
not have that kind Of courage in the
st. Louis convention. There they
We're so afraid of these receding rem
iniscences that they did not even dare
to put gold plank In their platform. !"
says the Republican.
THE formal notification of the can

the sanest political speeches encoun-

what they did contain"

Mr.. Bryan must at least be COM
mended for his frankness," saws the
Des Moines Capital. Those people

"The failure Of the democratic ma
tional committee to re-elect Charles
A. Walsh, of Iowa, as secretary, will
be regretted generally in Iowa." says
the Des Moines News, and continues:
Mr.. Walsh is sturdy In his partisan
ship and aggressive in fighting for

himself a real force on the national
committee and in national politics and
