CROP CONDITIONS.

According to the crop bulletin corn
has made satisfactory growth, not
w~ithstanding, the adverse conditions
which brought about considerable cool
and cloudy weather although the rain
fall was below the normal.
Aside from the delay done to grow
ing corn, the rains and showery con-
ditions have delayed the hay harvest
and has done considerable damage to
clover that has been cut. The yield
Of hay, nevertheless, will be exception
ally large but the quality depends up
on future weather conditions. Should
there be sufficient sunshine during
the next two weeks there will be an
abundance Of hay which will tend to
lower the price Of the product this
fall.
The wet condition Of the fields is
causing rust to gather in the oats and
this the weather report says is in
creasing, therefore the oats crop will
be injured some by the rust, but the
promise for small grains is for a
large yield.

Anti-Liquor Platforms Expected
to Return Democrats to House

saloon elements are going into the
congressional campaign in such dis
tricts as they see any chance of
welding an influence and, the Demo-
cratic congressional campaign leaders
believe, are going to work to a certain
degree toward a Democratic house. 1t
will be the plan to make the fight in
each district where there is a chance
of accomplishing anything according
to the situation in the district. A Re-
publican member of congress who
has fought for legislation to give the
states control of shipments of liquor
sent into 1t, will, of course, be up
held by the %anti-saloon elements. But
as between a Republican candidate
and a Democratic candidate, each of
whom is regarded as unfriendly to
~anti-saloon legislation of any sort,
the Democrat wills be favored. In
some cases, prohibition tickets will
be put up The theory Q n which the
~anti-saloon forces will turn to the
Democrats is that if a Democratic
house Is chosen, it will be controlled
by the old members among the Demo
Gratis and these will be mainly south.
ern men and prohibitionists. Champ
Clark would probably be speaker and
he is relied on to make up the com
mittees If he ever gets the chance,
so that they would be friendly to such
legislation as the Hepburn-Do lliver
measure. This could be, done by. mere.
ly giving the recognition due them by
length Of service to the Democrats OF
the south who are also as a rule pro
h%ibitionists because of the prohibi,
ton sentiment in their communi
ties.
As the campaign for the control o.
the house gets under way, it will be
worth while to observe the course
taken by the ~anti-saloon forces. II
they enlist in the movement to over
throw the Republican rule of the
house in the effort to topple over the
regime of Speaker Cannon to the ex
tent the Democratic leaders seem tt
think they intend to, the compression
al campaign will be made doubly in
teresting and the difficulties Of con
tinued Republican domination of thu
house will be in no small degree in
creased.

IoWA'S CANDIDATE.

Iowa has a vice presidential candis
date in the person of Jerry B. Sullivan
of Iowa. Mr.. Sullivan for many
years has been prominent in the coun-
ellis of the party and is considered
an able man of vice presidential
size. The Iowa delegation proposes to
present the name of Mr.. Sullivan to
the convention. 1t Is said the party
could go farther and fare worse in
filing the place of Bryan's running
mate.
Other candidates from all sections
of the United States have sprung up
and the landing of the plumb will be
a merry chase unless Judge Gray de-
sires to accept second place (Which
no says he does not), then the onven
ton would most likely unite on him
believing that he would swing the
eastern and conservative wing Of
Democracy In the November election.

denunciations of the Chicago platform
for what he calls its ultra conserva-
tism and its reputation of the Roose-
welt policies. 1t would seem. in read
ing these fierce pronunciamentos. that
the fat man of Lincoln Is the painting
radical Of his generation, but much OF
this may be but a laundering In the
index. We shall have to wait and
read the Denver platform before aban-
doning our conviction that the taking
on Of flesh tends toward conservatism
as much in this day as In that II
when Caesar said that fat men and
such as sleep of nights are less dan
gerous than men Of the Cassius type.
II this Is proved as true at Denver
as 1t was In Bone, we shall look to
see Mr.. Bryan insisting upon having a
fat la put upon the ticket for Sec
ond place.

THE FAT MAN IN POLITICS.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: This is
a year Of grace for the fat men in
politics. MI. Taft and Mr.. Sherman,
already nominated, and Mr.. Bryan,
practically nominated already, have
set a pace for others to follow. Mr..
Bryan has Of late years, under the i'm
pulse Of prosperity and many chau-
tauqua dinners, dollar dinners and
two dollar dinners. developed a girth
which would entitle him to a place
In a fat mems race for q CREASED pig.
Twelve years ago, at the time of the
parently about 100 pounds, q weight
unequal to his inches. He did not at
that time convey any suggestion Of
overfeshiness. II anything, the i'm
preston left In the mind was that
there was to be seen In him a typical
populist in all but the whiskers.
1t would not be easy to think Of a
fat mar delivering the "cross of gold"
speech. A fat man could not be
worked up, or work himself up, to the
supreme point Of making the fiery
condemnation against the existing or
der OF things. A fat man tends nat
ural1y toward conservatism; not that
he grows conservative after growing
fat, but that he had to be conserva-
tive before 1t vas possible for him to
ever become fat. This reasoning may
indicate that Mr.. Bryan has grown
much more conservative since the
