Bryan's IT Will" in Illinois. \.

One of William J. Bryan 'sspolitical
1laxims has been that no quest ion is
ever settled until it is settled right.
Ard evidently some questions are never
settled right until they are settled Mr..
Bryan s way. e. ! ~ ''1'-a'7''E'ss So
In the democratic campaign for ma
tional delegates in Illinois in 1904 there
arose a contest between the. Hopkins
and Harrison factions and fraud was
charged at the state convention, which
was controlled by the Hopkins faction.
Mr.. Bryan went before the credentials
committee Of the national convention
representing the contestants and was
defeated. He talked twice before the
convention in behalf of the minority re-
port, but was again knocked out, by a
vote nearly Of three to one. The Hop
kins delegation was seated, the Hopkins
national committeeman was reported to
the convention and Endorsed.
Now, two years after the events re-
hearsed, Mr.. Bryan sends message to
the national committe eman demanding
that he instantly resign on the ground
that he was elected by fraud. Antici-
patlng that his polite request would be
ignored, he sent supplementary mes
sage to the democrats of Illinois adj
monishing them that there would be
trouble if they did not throw Commit
teeman o sullivan out.
Mr.. Bryan's tactics are difficult to
understand. The court that he has ap-
pealed to, the state convention, has no
| jurisdiction over O'Sullivan. He was
elected national committeeman to serve
for four years and while his right to
| the place was contested, he has the
highest title man could have to the
place, the Endorsement Of the national
convention after full hearing both in
committee and on the floor. The state
convention Of Illinois can at the proper
| time choose delegation which will
elect his successor, but 1t can obtain nc
jurisdiction at this time over O'Sulli
van.
Mr.. Bryan IS attitude, while it may bt
high minded, will appeal to many people
as tyrannical. He is seeking to impose
his own will on the democrats Of Hi
nois after: he has appealed to all thu
courts known to the party and beer
beaten in every one.n

the request to the command and from

The New Iowa Idea.

Apparently some fine work is being
done for the standpatters in Iowa. The
plan as it develops today is not to rob
Cummins of the majority as. the state
committee intended yesterday, but to
award him a bare majority which will
insure his nomination and avoid bolt,
but which may accomplish the defeat
Of Garst for lieutenant governor. The
Importance of the second place on the
ticket is that the lieutenant governor
is member Of the state council which
makes the assessments on railroads and
the railroads would rather not have
Garst there.
This raises a new issue in the con-
vention The national issues which
have somewhat illogically figured in the
preliminary campaign are forced to the
rear and there looms up something
which is of vastly more Importance to
tie people of Iowa than even the revis-
ion of the tariff. That issue is the
railroad denial Of the right Of the peo-
pie to self government.
We should think that the Cummins
men in the convention would welcome
such an issue and go out ioyfully to
embrace the battle which the railroad
agents have offered them. It is q
splendid opportunity to test the ques
ton whether the people or the corpora
tions are the state Of Iowa. Whom the
gods would destroy they sometimes first
appoint the political rebaters for rail
roads. If this has been done in the
state of Iowa the time is ripe for the
destroying process to begin.
The issue of Cummins and anti-Cum
minis, of revision and standpat, take {
back seat while the republican party
goes to trial ON the proposition whethe!
the right Of way Of the Burlington
spreads from the Missouri to the Min
nesOta line.

The Truth About That Flour.

Between the rawlings of the individual
who wants to put the Red Cross in jail
for not compelling San Francisco to
eat that -four and the sublimated sneers
of the individual who accuses the Min
neapolis millers of unloading their sur
plus stocks upon the stricken city, there
Is a path of safety and sanity in which
the community is walking. If any
thing would tempt it from this path
it would be pious yearning to beat
in the block Of one or the other Of the
agents.
The journal has already stated
it's views of the extravaganza language
of the committee chairman. It is Of
the opinion that the Tribune critic is as
far off on the other side. The milling
industry of Minneapolis did not invent
the idea of sending -four to" San Fran
cisco in order 'to work off its perish
able surplus and to keep its mills open
to the advantage of workmen.' The
total amount of flour sent to San
Francisco was 10000 barrels. The total
capacity of the Minneapolis mills is
$4,000 barrels daily. They are now
making 40 900 barrels daily. So that
to support the Indictment that the Min
neapolis millers deliberately plotted to
sandbag the ruined city with flour the
Tribune can bring the fact that thereby
the millers worked off grand total of
three hours milling, or Of six hours
at the rate they are now going. If
Is there were no other facts, even if there
were no good character testimony
added, the evidence would acquit the
millers. But there must be added the
burden of proof upon the critic to show
when and where and how the millers OF
Minneapolis conceived such a dastardly
and yet pusillanimous plot. ~.=
The facts are that there was no such
plot; that the relief fund was raised
in cash; that the committee selected
-four as the best form of Immediate re
lief known; that it sent man to Sar
Francisco to keep in touch with the
Red Cross, with instructions to stop BY
wire the shipment Of flour whenever
|, the Red Cross got too much -four, it wa'
A it's own fault. The committee appar
sently did get too much flour and
strange to relate, proceeded to dispos,
it in such a way as to not only hur
N feelings, but the business, of tn
Aors. They admit now that the,
e mistake in not taking the sens

OFFICIALS CONFER
OVER DIETz CASE
%
State Guards Will Not Be Ordered

CATION Is Made.

Madison, Wis, Aug. lit seems
probable that several companies Of the
Wisconsin state militia will be called
out to repress John F. Dietz in Sawyer
county and bring him into court to an:
swer to the criminal charge Of assault
with intent to murder. ~.-. ~.
e.. AS Dietz has repeatedly declared that
he will never surrender alive, and as
all Of his family-wife, sons and daugh-
ters-are crack shots, it is almost GER
tain that there will be much bloodshed
there before he Is taken.
Federal troops will not be called on
to help the state troops, because the
federal charge against Dietz was a civil
one and not a criminal one, and has
been satisfied by the entry of a judy
ment against the defendant. This judy
Conference at Madison.
This is the probable result Of long
conference between Governor James O.
Davidson and Sheriff Peter Gylland Of
Sawyer county and between United
States Marshal Charles Lewiston and
the sheriff here late yesterday after
noon and evening: Neither the gov
ernor nor the sheriff would SPY positive
ly that it had been decided to call out
state troops to capture Dietz, but that
seems to be fair conclusion from what
they. did say. ~ @'+@A = = =. e. =
Governor Davidson said that Sheriff
Gylland had told in full, of the bloody
gun battle between his posse Of seven

when the latter repulsed the former

seriously wounded. -. - e.

Theodore Roosevelt has subscribed 81
to the republican national congressional
committees campaign fund. In send
ing in his dollar he accompanied it by
a letter in which he said: 81 think
it an admirable plan, and I congratu-
late you upon the success that bids
fair to attend the movement
There is no more reason why Pres1-
dent Roosevelt should send a dollar
than that every other republican thru
out the country should do the same
thing Have you sent your dollar9 If
not, why not9 A committee furnished
with funds by individual voters thru
out the country and conducting the
campaigns of congressman to be elected
by the. aid of such means is just what
the people have been asking for. They
have been wanting congress that IS
not under obligations to large financial
interests and big corporations. The
question is, how badly do they want
them. Do they want them dollars
worth9 The 81 campaign fund move
ment is a good deal like the direct NOM
mating system. 1t is up to the people.
If they think it is a good thing, they
should support it. If they don't sup
port it, it will be abandoned.
Theodore Roosevelt is a good man to
follow. His example ought to be con-
tagious. Nobody is in better posi-
ton to make new idea popular than
he. If his example takes, his 81 ought
to be worth a million to the national
