WATERMAN,s cAMp,pAcy.

H. - WfIEnWNtN . SANDlDACY.
The candidacy of Hon, H. l.. Water
man for delegate to; the republican ma
ktional convention is being kindly re-
ceiyed by the papers of the sixth dis
trict. Mr.. Waterman has a wide ac.
quaintance throughout the district.
Wherever he is known he is. recog-
nized as one of the able men of the re-
publican party. In commenting on his
candidacy for delegate to the national
convention the Abba Union saws:
Senator Waterman of Ottumwa is
a candidate for delegate to the nation
al republican convention. He repre-
sents the stand pat" idea of the tar
Tiff controversy. The sixth district con-
tains no ADLER or more popular citizen
than Senator Waterman"
Also the Keokuk County News in its
issue of this week, says:
"The republicans of Wapello county
have commended the name of Hon. H.
L. Waterman OF that county as a can
didate for sixth district delegate to the
national convention. A good man for
the place."
Mr.. Waterman has for number of
years been prominently connected
with the affairs of the party and has
taken a prominent part in the poll
tics OF the county, district and state.
Sixth district republicans are in favor
OF the nomination OF President Roose-
welt to succeed himself and they will
assure themselves of having their will
carried out to the letter by the selec-
ton OF Mr.. Waterman to represent
them in the national convention in
Chicago next June.

From good many points of view
Mr.. Bryan is the Galula of the demo
cratic party. Nothing disconcerts him.
New favorites only cause him TO cling
the closer He cannot be shamed
away, laughed away. tormented away,
or driven away. His affection is I'M
quenchable.
When Galula finds the kingly OBJ
ject of her alteration paving marked at
tention to a pretty girl she redoubles
her efforts to make herself indispen-
sable. She rims at the masters nod
and wink. She is always among those
anw wing. She is always "among those
present..
If her lord walks abroad. she fol-
lows him at a respectful distance,
to be neae him if he should call. If he
reclines in the shade she is ever at
hand with her fan to promote his ease.
Sleeping or waking absorbed in affairs
of state or engaged in gentle dalliance
especially the latter-Galula is at his
elbow as # to remind him of the far
away time when she herself was wooed
and won. There is no such thing in
the play as losing Galula.
The democratic party is in the sam
position ais regards Galula Bryan.
No slight, no Impotence, no obvious
WEAKNESS, no attempted abandon
ment, no incontinence, disturbs him in
the least His spirits are unrutfied,
his devotion is unchanged, and his con-
fidence in himself is unwavering.
Not much success attended the eff
fort of the king in the opera to rid
himself Of Galula, but it is possible
that the democrats will have better
luck.
When the Hooligan conventions as
semble, let the democratic national
committee wait upon them, and, pre-
senting the Nebraska Galula, say,
Have a candidate on us" and If they
accept him let the st. Louis convention
proceed at once to take somebody else
in his place.
Galula must go.

MAJOR LACEY ON RECIPROCITY.

Republicans are heartily in favor
of reciprocity, but they Want it of the
kind that will reciprocate."
Thus did Major Lacey representing
the sixth. Iowa district in a recent. ad-
dress in congress voice the convictions
of the Iowa repub loans regarding this
much discuss eds 4 do ctFine of the repub-
lican party While defining clearly the
general policy of reciprocity Major
Lacey made specific application of his
presentation to the proposition for
reciprocity with Canada, or Canadian
free trade. He revied briefly the reel
procity treaty with Canada in effect
between 1855 and 1866 which provided
for free trade between the United
States and Canada in the natural re-
sources of both Countries He demon
strated beyond doubt the evil eff
fects of that treaty as evidence Of
which he cited that in the years 1865
and 1866 we RENTED to Canada, .du-
ties amounting to $7O,152, 1863 and the
balance of trade during that period
was $2S,1S4, 749 against us. Also that
under the present arrangement. with a
tariff in both countries the balance Of
trade for the fiscal year 1903 was $7O,-
100000 in favor of this country.
Following this exposure, Major La
cey made a very strong plea against
the proposition that has been made to
trade off the markets of the Iowa far
mer for the benefit of the. manufacture
ers of the country He pointed out
that the true republican idea of reci-
procity was not to trade off the activ-
ity for the benefit of another and urg-
ed that inasmuch as the farmers of the
west have for years been stalwart de-
Tenders of the policy Of protection, they
have a right to expect the continued
benefit from that policy.
But that there might be no uncer-

lieVed that in it's details it was lin-
just to our interests and unequal in
its provisions. Several attempts have
been made since to make new treaty,
but thus far without result. Senator
Allison said that an advantageous ar
rangement might be made, but he
doubted If such an arrangement would
be made in the near future.
This chapter in American political
history seems to have been forgotten
by a great many people. 1t never
theless contains significant lesson.
1t teaches that reciprocity as contem-
plated by many modern statemen be-
longs to the category of iridescent
dreams. Governor Cummins and his
followers seem to imagine that Can
ada. Germany, Italy and France are
lmpatiently awaiting for an opportu-
nifty to enter into trade relations with
America which will give this country
the best of the bargain.
In his Clinton speech Senator Alli-
SON took pains to emphasize the
thought that in any future reciprocal
relations which might be entered into
care and caution would have to be ex-
ercised in order that the protective
principle be not impaired.
Would the cattle raisers of the west
feel that the protective principle was
being maintained inViolate if in the
proposed reciprocity arrangement
hides We're placed on the free list?
Would the poultry raisers toss their
hats in dilirium of joy if the tariff
were removed from eggs
Would free wheat enthuse the far
mers of Iowa and Minnesota?
Reciprocity is a beautiful thing in
theory. So is free trade. The results

DISTRICT DELEGATES.

The keOkuk County News an
nounces that the republicans of Keo
kuk county will present the name Of
Hon. J. T. Brooks as ia candidate for
delegate to the national republican
convention which meets in Chicago
The News. in speaking Of Mr.. Brooks
fitness for the place says:
7, MIR. Brooks is a republican worker
and always takes great interest in the
candidates OF this county district and
state. He is a well informed man and
would make an able repEes entative.N Nc
man in the sixth district would more
faithfully represent her interests and
the Interests of her party"
In, commenting on, the above an.
nouncement of the candidacy of Hon.
]. T.@ Brooks, the. Bloomfield News,
Republican says:
Hon. j. T. Brooks will, no doubt, re-
ceiva strong support from all the coun-
ties of the sixth congressional district,
as delegate to the national republi-
can convention. Davis county was
represented four years ago by Hon.
Jas. "A. Dunn, and will probably not
present a candidate this time. The
republicans of Keokuk county have
made a wise choice iri selecting Sena-
tor Brooks. He is a substantial bust
ness man of Hedrick in that county
and represents the Keokuk-P oweshiek
senatorial district in the thirtieth gen
eral assembly. He is a safe man and
is. ia strong; republican leader.
The aboXs 1endors ements of Senator
J.sT. Brooks s;for district delegate to
the national republican convention are
we'll bestowed: As the sixth district
is entitled to two delegates no better
nor more representative republicans
could be selected than Hon. H. L. Wat
erman and Senator ]. T. Brooks. They
belong to no faction in the party, but
stand for sound republicanism and the
nomination sof President Roosevelt.
