BRYAN sleeps we'll. whether it be IN

claims to be in as good physical con-.
dition as in 1896. but he will not make
as many speeches as he did years ago.
This all goes to show that he is not
at all worried over the situation, and
as 10 making as many speeches as in
his first campaign, he has probably
asked himself, with : good reason,
Whats the use?"
What if Cummins would agree to
submit the senatorial issue to arbltra-
ton. wouldn't that lift a load of trou-
BILE from the legislative candidates?
What's the matter then with an agree
ment to submit it to a primary with
the promise that the low man VIII

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Rockwell City Advocate says:
TITS a joke. Certain standpat papers
in Iowa are warning the state conven-
ton which meets September 9th to
keep still on the senatorial question
as the convention is called to select a
candidate for supreme judge and has
nothing to do with the senatorial ques-
ton. To those who can remember as
far back as last March, that sort of
talk sounds nightly like a joke
Hartman says he is going to the
mountains to think. Then would be
a good time for the railroads he
doesn't own, to hunt place to hide

fifty or sixty bushels of corn to the

FOR THE GOOD OF THE TICKET.

! There will be a conference of repub-
Leans in Des Moines Tuesday. Severa
hundred candidates for office will bt
there and as many party managers
The question will be what kind of g
| program will be best for the ticket!
| Ordinarily we would say to organize
and get out the vote but this year
| there are conditions extraordinary
4 They We're extraordinary two years
| ago but we did not know it then. Fol
| several days after election we We're
! kept in doubt as to whether a republic
can governor had been elected in Iowa
| This year we have had ample warning
and we are faeing not not only -un-
certainty as to a republican governor
but as to republican legislature and
possibly an electoral ticket. The man
who is afraid to admit these things OUT
loud is merely hiding his head in the
sand.
The trouble is due to factionalism.
A considerable portion of the party be-
lieves that great reforms have been
achieved and certain selfish interests
dethroned from influence under the
leadership of Governor Cummins They
now want Cummins for senator. A
large number who do not believe in
Cummihs and many who have lost old
time power in party affairs have sue
ceeded in convincing a large number of
voters that something is wrong about
Cummins. The matter was submitted
to a primary and the opposition sue
2ceeded in polling the most votes for
Allison. Had Allison lived this would
have settled the controversy. The
whole ticket would have been elected
and there would have been no great
crisis before the conference.
But Allison died and the details OF
the demise were such as to convince
almost everybody that he was mentally
lifeless and physically passive on the
day his revered name was used to- bea.
sCummins at the primaries. 1t is now
firmly believed that the public was
buncoed, by a gigantic conspiracy as
to the aged senator's state of health
and therefore that the only purpose IA
his candidacy was to beat Cumn1lis
With this discovery before them and
mindful Of the boiling done two years
ago. thousands upon thousands of re-
publicans seem to be of one mind.
There, never has been a senatorial
contest in which legislative nominees
were not canvassed before their cleo
ton and no one expects this one to
break the rule In fact any sane man
knows that not only will the canvass
ing be done but retaliation and ami
hilation will be the arguments used.
They are now BEING ',sad. Candidates
for office can not escape the issue. The
question then is what shall we do for
the good of the ticket? Unload the SEN.
atoial issue onto a special primary
and let legislative candidates stand
neutral by agreeing to abide by the
results OF the primary or let the war
go on and stick our heads in the sand
by telling each other to support the
ticket? What is best for the ticket,
eternal war on Cummins, attack and
reprisal, or an agreement between
Cummins and whoever runs against
him that the man who loses in the pri-
mary will Withdraw and make it UNI
animous?

Troubles He Got Into when He Tried
to Fix Up Last Years Straw.

last years straw and took a look az that.

and I thought / would clean il myself.
You know you can buy preparations for
this purpose now, il you want 10, and
clean your hat yourself, and I thought
I'd try it.
And really l had very good luck with
ing the hat I got the ribbon wet and
spoiled that But 1 could afford TO buy
a new ribbon now. since had cleaned
my own hat.
so I went around 20 a store where
they sell such things and asked the young
lady behind the ribbon counter for a hat
ribbon. and she knew how much 1 want
ed. but how about the width?
And l really didn't know about that; I
hadn't measured the cid ribbon. and then
the young lady said they We're wearing
the hat ribbons a little narrower this

you see I thought if I got a ribbon of
the fashionable width, il would help the
hat out little.
so she cut me off ribbon of suitable
length and of the fashionable width. and
took It home TO sew onto my hat.

so tanned.
But what could do about II? I didn't
want to throw that band away and buy
