MR. KERN's BLUNpER.

In recent address to farmers
John w. Kern, the Democratic candi-
date for vice president, asked his
hearers if they had ever heard any
thing about the Republican party
guaranteeing them profit ON their
crops. 1t was something of tactical
Dlunder for Mr.. Kern to draw the
thoughts of his hearers to such a line
of reasoning. After the question was
brought to their attention many Of
his hearers remembered that the Re-
publican party has made just such a
guarantee and had made the guarantee
good. They remembered how the
Dingley tariff law had been enacted
after American farmers had been sub
jected to four years of depression and
profitless labor under the Democratic
Wilson-Gorman law. The American
farmer was given ample protection
from the competition of Canada and
Europe and through the protection ex-
tended to other lines of American in

A LAWYERS VIEW

Frederick w. Whitridge, we'll
known New York lawyer, has written
q letter in which he makes compari
son Of Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan as to
their equipment for the Office of presi
dent. In speaking of Mr.. Bryan he
says:
ITO my mind, although he is re-
spectacle man, 1t is. plain that he is
untitled to be president of the United
States. He has had no experience in
affairs. / cannot find that he has any
settled principles OF that he believes
in anything, although it can be shown
from his utterances that, within the
time thatth he has been upon the boards
he has protested a belief in everything
which anybody has advocated during
that period. To me the idea of Mr..
Bryan in the White House is gro
tesque and colossal joke.
Mr.. Taft, on the other hand, Is a
man of sound training, and an unus-
ually wide experience, and is in all
quarters confessedly fitted thereby
and by his temperament to occupy and
fill the high position to which believe
he is called. There has not in our
time been another candidate whose
life and history have so apparently
fitted him to be president of the United
States as Mr. Taft"

cedure, on the fourth day of the con-
vention the nominations were made.
Mr.. Joy of Michigan. presented the
name of Blaine. Conkling nominated
Grant. Gen James A. Garfield of
Ohio nominated John Sherman. On
S04, Blaine 2S4, Sherman 93, scatter
ing is. The 80 ballots followed with
OUT any material change in the
strength OF Grant. Blaine or Sherman.
On the thirty fourth ballot Garfield
received the 16 votes of Wisconsin.
The Edmunds and other independent
delegates and also those who had been
rapidly changed to Garfield. 1t was a
case OF anything to beat Grant. Blaine,
by telegraph, was able to transfer
every vote cast for him to Garfield,
except that of colorededelegate from,
Virginia. Sherman, who disliked
Conkling quite as much as did Blaine.
was able to do practically the same
thing. On the thirty-sixth ballot Cen
eral Garfield was nominated, receiv-
ing 800 votes, or q more than neces-
sary to choice. Conkling was Bit
terly disappointed. AS consolation
he was allowed to name thescandidate
for vice president and he designated
for this position Chester A. Arthur,
| collector of the port of New York and
a conspicuous advocate of Grant.
The Democratic national convention
met in Cincinnati on June %. The
| logic OF the situation required the norni-
| ination of Mr.. Tilden who, his friends
declared, had been counted out by the
Republicans in 1876 But a few days.
he announced positive declination to
be a candidate again. After several
ineffectual ballots, Gen. Winfield Scott
Hancock Of Pennsylvania, received the
nomination. William Fl. English OF
| Indiana was named for vice president.
The Greenback party, which had in
| creased enormously In strength since
the last presidential election, nomi-
mated Gen. James B. Weaver OF Iowa.
while Gen. Neal Dow Of Maine was
put forward by the Prohibitionists.
The campaign was not one Of ex
| ceDtional warmth or excitement. The
results of the September elections were
discouraging to the Republicans. BY
| small majority Maine was carried by
the Greenbaclers and Democrats. I'm
til now Conkling and many of the
Grant followers had been sulky and
| had refused to take the field In the
interest of Garfields election. ALARMED
at the result of the Maine election,
| however, they came out and worked
for the success OF the ticket during
/ the few remaining days of the cam
raign.
The result Of the election was that
| Garfield carried all the northern states
except New Jersey, Nevada. and Cali
fornia. Hancock carried these three
/ together with all the southern states.
| The electoral vote stood, Garfield 214,
Hancock 1855. but Garfleld's popular
plurality was only 10000 in a total Of
100000 votes. For the first time
since the Civil war the Republicans
had received no electoral votes from
the states south Of Mason and Dixon's
line.

During the closing years of the first
administration of President Hayes, the
Democrats not only maintained their
power in the lower house OF congress,
but having carried a number of state
elections, enough Democratic senators
We're sent to Washington to give the
Democrats a majority in the senate
also. For the first time since the
Civil war they controlled both houses
of congress. although because of Re-
publican president We're unable to en-
act any important party measures.
There also was in prospect an OPP
portunity for highly colored cam
paign IN view Of the fact that many
sections of the country considered that
Samuel j. Tilden had been robbed of
the presidency by the electoral COM
mission in 1876.
On the Republican side there was no
lack Of candidates for the nomination
of president and as a result the con-
vention was again forced to pick a
dark horse, as it had done four years
before in the case of Hayes. First
among the Republican candidates was
General Grant, who, while not eager,
| himself, for the nomination, allowed
his name to be proposed by some of his
| friends who wished to accord him the
| unprecedented honor o. third term.

more than ever a hero. The people
/ of the United States felt a. personal
pride in the splendid reception which
| mad been accorded to Grant abroad
and there was now disposition to re-
member only his deeds as soldier
in the Civil war. The leader Of Grants
| forces in the convention was Senator
| Roscoe Conkline of New York Conk-

| Pennsylvania, and Gen. John A. Logan
| of Illinois
Next to Grant. Blaine. who had come
so near getting the nomination in 1876
was the most popular candidate. There
were many who felt he had been I'M
justly and cruelty treated and there
were many eager to record their YER
dict OF acauittal from the malignant
charges which had been made against
| him since 1876.
But there We're many more who pre-
ferred candidate against whom nc
charges whatever had ever rested and
who would, therefore, not be handi-
cap of any nature to the party. Some
of these preferred George F. Edmunds
| Of Vermont. Others favored John
Sherman. who had Just completed
four years as secretary OF the treas
llry, during which he had won great
homer by the skill and success with
which he had brought about the re-
sumption of specie payments.
| The convention met at Chicago or
June 2. Its final action was largely
the result of an old time feud between
Blaine and Conllling. Conklfng hat

and now that Conklins was doing ali

honestly opposed. After many pre-.

Fosters Weather Bulletin
Copyrighted, 1908, by =. T. Foster

Washington, D. c., Oct II. - Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
TO cross continent 10 to 10, warm
wave IA to IS, cool wave IL to q.
This disturbance was expected to
cause a great fall in temperature from
13 to 20, bringing frosts not far from
last date that will penetrate the cot
ton belt.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about 81, cross Pacific slope by
close of %, great central valleys 20
to %, eastern states 26 Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about 81, great
central valleys %, eastern states %.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about "a, great central valleys 26, east
ern states %.
This will be the most important dis
turbance of the month. | am expecting
about that time another tropical
storm in the Caribbean sea, and these
hurricanes usually cause a cold wave
along the Canadian line and frosts
further south.
The warm wave of the disturbance
will be remarkable for its high tenn.
peratures, which will make the last
half of October average warmer than
the first half Frost waves are ex.
pected both before and after that
warm wave.
Severe storms may be expected on
the continent 81 to 26 and boat riding
on lakes and oceans will be fully as
safe before and after the period when
these storms are expected. Not much
rain last part of October except In a
few places while these storms are
passing. Thunder storms and heavy
concentrated rains over small areas
are expected while this great storm
wave is crossing the continent.
Venus, Mercury, Saturn and the
moon will be the principal causes OF
the great disturbances described
above. Last month these bulletins said
that October would come in cold and
reach q period of very hot weather
about "a Thus far the forecast has
been good; now watch for the impor,
tant feature. the great hot wave and
severe storms about October "a.
Prof. Devoe.
This long range forecaster seems to
have given up Washington as a hard
place for long rangers. Whoever un
dertakes to forecast for this city a
month in advance will have very great
difficulties to overcome. 1t lies be
tween the two great storm belts. one
Of which extends from New Orleans
by way Of Florida, and then to the
coasts OF Maine, and the other from
the Pacific coast along the 40th par
ellel and down the st. Lawrenc e
river.
The tropical storms invert the trans
continental storms. including all
weather features, and that is what
knocked Prof. De Woes forecasts out
Within thirty days past three tropical
storms have come UP our Atlantic
coast. De Voc has not had fair
chance.

RIDER ON BRYAN,

Herman Ridder, the new treasurer
of the Democratic national committee
until recently has been a bitter en-
envy Of Mr.. Bryans. Mr.. R1dder has
made his feelings toward the com
moner plain in a number. of biting ed.
itorials in his paper, the Staatz-Zei.
tung, Here is sample of the kind OF
editorials Ridder was writing before
the Denver convention:
Only few intimate friends and
blind admirers of Bryan are still
willing to follow him. The miserable
intrigues of the man who again would
incite the masses cannot retard this
process. Bryan's strenuous activity
will hasten his humiliation.

.-s-.-s----.--------
FAULTY REASONING.

Mr.. Bryan's argument to the farm
ers of Nebraska in favor Of the bank
deposit guarantee plan that they
should be able to insure their deposits
against loss as easily as they are able
to insure their property against fire.
is extremely shallow. The difference
IS that man pays premium on his
fire insurance, the amount depending
upon the risk and the sum he is in
sIred for. In the bank guarantee
plan there would be 70 premium and
somebody else would bear the cost Of
insurance, plan manifestly unjust.
The Chicago Tribune shows how
faulty is this reasoning. 1t says:
IT would be legitimate to organize a
company for the insurance OF bank
deposits Any depositor who cnose to
use it would have an additional guar
anty against loss. But that company
would no more have a uniform rate
than fire insurance companies have
1t would charge the depositor in a
weak bank more than it would the de.
positor in strong one. Blu. Mr. Bry.
an does not advocate lle organization
of such a company. He would throw
all the banks into hotchpot. He would
make a community with sound banks
with deposits aggregatlng 100000, 900
pay thousand times as much into
an insurance fund rom which the de-
positors in those banks would derive
no benefit as a community with feeble
banks whose deposits amounted to
100000. This is palpable injustice.
Fire insurance companies fail some
times tO nav their lOSses II has han.
pened in Chicago, san Francisco and
elsewhere. Perhaps four years hence
Mr.. Bryan will be arguing that all the
companies should be taxed at uni.
form rate to create a fund out OF
which the debts of the insolvent ones
might be paid at once. Such onten-
ton would be quite as logical and fair
as the one Mr. Bryan is now urging.

AIDING A woRTHy cAusE.

| Every citizen in Ottumwa takes
pride in the hospital. 1t is an insti.
! tuition conducted in the interests OF
| all, the poorest as well as the richest.
! In the past the citizens have respond
| ed literally when call has been made
for moral and financial. support in in.
creasing the scope of the work. In
this the people have shown public
spiritedness to be commended, for
there Is no public institution In the
city which has done and is daily doing
greater good than the Ottumwa hos
pital.
In the near future the citizens will
be given another opportunity to show
their friendliness to this institution.
1t has been decided to set day apart
as tag day." day on which the
wearing of an emblem will advertise
noble cause and tell that the wearer
has done something that day to aid In
relieving distress. The distribution Of
tags will be under the auspices of the
Ottumwa hospital association No tags
will be sold, they will merely be given
in exchange for voluntary offerings In
aid of the hospital Any sum that is

fr1endliness for the hospital, as an
evidence that the doner is in SYM
pathy with and is leadlng his support
to the humanitarian work being done
by the public spirited members of the
hospital association board and the
corps of physicians and nurses.
The Ottumwa hospital is an institu-
ton that is open to all. The people
realize this. In the early years when
the hospital first was opened there
was opposition. There was a feeling
in some quarters that the hospital was
for the more favored of humanity and
that there would be no welcome for
the poor and the friendless Time has
shown that the Ottumwa hospital, at
least, knows no class distinction. When
there Is an accident no questions are
asked The ambulance speeds along
on its mission of mercy and the I'M
fortunate Is taken with all haste to the
hospital.
The best OF professional skill is at
once available and many a life Is
saved that would be sacrificed if there
were no hospital TO treat these emer-
sency cases. The Ottumwa hospital
has opened it's doors to the sick, the
manned and the dying and has proved
itself to be true friend to the friend
less. Not only In Ottumwa has the
hospital been boon, but to all sec
tons of southern and southeastern
Iowa. Hardly day passes but the
ambulance meets some train to take a
patient from one Of the towns in the
vicinity where accommodations denied
them at home are available
The citizens of Ottumwa cannot do
too much for the hospital in apprecia-
ton for what has been done in the
past, and what is being done in the
present. The beneticient work can be
extended and a greater good can be
cone if each will do just little more
TO aid in this public work. Tag day,
! therefore. should be one of the big
days of the year. Let every citizen
secure tag on the day appointed and
wear it as a badge of his support to
this institution in which all Ottumwa
takes pride.

iowA's LUKEWARMNEss;

Inc llSt or campaign contributions
given out by Treasurer Ridder Of the
Democratic national committee may
be complete, as asserted by Mr. Rid
der, or it may contain many notable
omissions of large amounts from Stan
dard Oil and other sources as some
other people believe, but it is an in
teresting list nevertheless. For in
stance the list contains dozens of
names from nearly every state where
donations of from 500 to $4,000 vera
made, but in the classified list of Iowa
donors of 800 or over there is not a
dozen. Here is the list Of Iowans
contributing enough to be includ I'd
in the hundred or over class:
M. F. Healy farmer-s100.
Just one lone name.
This can be taken as nothing else
but an indication of great lukewarm-
ness in Iowa toward the commoner's
cause Iowa has great many Demo.
Gratis who could we'll afford to dizzy
up 500 to the cause. That none of
them except Mr.. Healy made the in
vestment looks suspiciously like con-
fession that the Democrats of Iowa
realize Bryan's chances are too slim

dollar throw variety.
A little light is thrown on one of the
big contributions to the fund by dis
patch published in Chicago paper.
This dispatch, referring to the $4,000
donation Of Charles ] Hughes of Den
yer, which was the largest in the list
published, says:
Charles ]. Hughes, lawyer of Den.
yer, Colo, holds the post of honor. He
gave $4,000 to the Bryan cause. Tele-
grams from Denver say he Is an ex.

owner of the traction system there,
and Judge Lindsay short time ago
gave him special attention in pamph-
let in which he recommended his serv-
ices to. all public utility corporations
which might be in need of special abil-
lily.
Judge Lindsey is rather generally
rated as an able. honest and fearless
man. He is Democrat, but he would
not give $4,000 to the Bryan campaign
