them to check the stupendous growth
OF these great concerns. or loosen the
grip upon the people they have Sd
firmly taken. They have concluded
that our government is failure in
Its provisions for selecting United
States senator's. They realize they
have no voice, neither directly nor
indirectly in choosing them They
know they have been disappointed and
defeated over and over again in their
choice for that high office by special
interests.
And for that reason their last legis-
lature passed resolutions asking that
the federal constitution be so far
changed as to allow them to elect their
senators by popular vote. 1t is a clear
admission that the trusts have an un-
disputed possession of one branch of
the legislative department of their gov
ernment.
while these special interests have
complete control of the executive ana
legislative branches of our country the
evidence is on every hand that they
mean to capture our judicial depart
ment as well. No federal judge can
now be appointed unless he be first Sc
lected by these special interests. or
this fact no state is more fully ad-
vised than Iowa. Our experience
should compel a confession of the
blindest partyism. The president has
not in fact appointed either Of our
judges They have been selected BY
our senator's and representatives IN

Trusts.
Republicans in congress gladly sur
render to the trusts, and call their
surrender craftsmanship. That party
stands guard at every port or entry
from one end of the country to the
other and turns back every friendly
sail which would relieve the people
Of this nation from the ravages Of the
trust. The protective tariff forms the
outer wall Of the arena and permits
none of their victims to escape. Every
trust magnate knows that as long as
mastery over the masses of the peo-
pie is assured.
The republican party of this state,
lead by Governor Cummins, in two re-
cent platforms declared agains. the
trust and demanded that the tariff laws
be so changed as to not shelter monop-

repudiated by the leaders of the party

I'm this great struggle the patriotic
republican voter must take counsel of
his patriotism rather than his party.
The one will lead him to serve his
country for his country's good. The
other will endeavor to lull him into
profound inactivity with the seeming
PEACE and prosperity of the country

not call for a speech.
1t is learned that the Hearst peop.e
brought here a platform ready made
which is devoted largely to compli-

fort to foist these resolutions upon

OF HEARING

Upon the rising OF the house OF repre-
sentatives at o'clock yesterday after
noon the judiciary committee OF which
Judge Harris is chairman, gave a hear
ing on an act requested by the city coun-
ell OF Woonsocket. In the interest of ac-
quiring satisfactory title TO their source
OF water supply. For nearly a quarter
OF "A century the source or supply has
been n bone OF contention between the

authorizes the city OF Woonsocket to take
the waters or Crook Falls brook, IN the
towns Of Lincoln, Smithteld and North

poses OF a supply of water FOR that city

tain necessary dams and reservoirs, ana
lay and maintain necessary pipes, con-
duits and bitches to connect with the

city council OF that city. In 1884 the
water works were established by private
parties and purchased by the city In 1855
The city used the water, and In 1897 a
claim for damages was filed by. various
parties. This claim was followed by a
bill IN equity. on which the court gave
the city 90 days 10 condemn the water
rights OF the brook or be enjoined from
using them. The court has since decided
that under existing law the city has no
power TO condemn. and the city now
