On this page we publish a recent
editorial from Mr.. Bryan's Commoner
In which he gives his plan of organiza-
tion for the democratic Democrats.
You will note that the word torgani-
Zation" is used in contradistinction
to the Reorganization" effected last
year by the pie.hunting democrats
who met the crushing defeat that
their craven desertion of true demo-
cratic principles merited. Mr.. Bryan
believes, as do many others, that if
the rank and file of the democrats,
the ones who are democrats from
principle and not for Office, can be
induced TO attend the primaries
through the Primary Pledge Plan he
advocates, that the party can be held
to its traditions and that its party
platforms will say something worth
while and will mean everything that
can therein be expressed in woi DIS
that will admit of no evasion or
double meaning. There Is no doubt
but that the sentiment among the
democrats of Howard County, taken
as whole, was not correctly repre-
sented in the delegation sent to the
State Convention held to select dele
gates TO the National Convention, and
that this was possible was due to the
apathy of the democrats of the county
in attending the town and township

NEW GRAFT BEING WORKED.

nent Iowa Men.
A brand new graft has been sprung
In Iowa City, and the police there
say 1t was practiced there last week
for the first time in the history of the
state. Warnings have been sent to
the police in other cities, as Il is be-
heved the perpetrator will try-.to
make haul in every other city in
Iowa. The man who worked the
game secures the names Of various
prominent citizens. Then he retires
to his room in leading hotel, sets up
q little manipulating press, issues
calling cards bearing the names of
the citizens noted. Armed with these
he calls at the homes of the respec-
tive owners and presents the proper
card in each case. IL am here from
Minneapolis" explains the man,
waiting for letters containing large
remittances which my house is to
send me, but, singularly enough,
nothing has arrived. At the postof-
nee they told me that you name is the
same as mine, as my card shows, and
the postmaster thinks you may have
received my mail by mistake" OF
course the owner of the house has not
the bunco-man's letters, but equally.
Of course, the prominent citizen feels
sorry for his "namesake," who is well
and oleanly dressed, looks like a gen.
tleman and talks as suavely as polit-
ical orator. AS a result the citizen
reaches for his purse and loans the
stranger few dollars, until the
draft comes" A half dozen of the
foremost citizens Of Iowa City were
deeced before the police learned of
the new graft, and by that time the
rascal had left the city.

Municipal Elections.

Municipal elections were held in
many of the cities and towns of Iowa
last week. Party lines were for the
most part discarded, and the elections
decided on purely local issues, peo-
pies and citizens tickets frequently
replacing those of the standard po-
htical parties. Only two possible con-
tests are reported; one in Ottumwa,
where a voting machine in one ward
failed to work, and the other in Mount
Vernon, where it is said that the de-
feated candidate for mayor will chal-
lenge the votes of a number of stu
dents who cast their ballots. The
hardest fought election of the day was
in Marshalltown, where o. L. Ingledue
was elected mayor over A. c. DAILY

Burned by an Explosion,

Three children of Charles Blake of
Wesley were seriously burned by the
explosion of powder in their home.
It seems they had been making
smokeless powder by mixing ordinary
powder with chemicals and boiling
the same. AS the kettle was taken
from the stove the explosion occurred,
and 1t is thought was caused by
spark falling from the kettle and
lighting loose powder which had been
spilled on the floor. Clarence, aged
eighteen, was burned about the face
and arms; Elva, aged ten, face and
hands burned; Clayton, aged four,
badly burned about face and head,
and for time it was feared would
lose the sight of one eye. They had
previously treated quantity of pow.
der without mishap.
