form and declared that the reforms
for which Iowa Is contending are

Iowa is somewhat OF a pioneer in
the matter of reforms, said Mr..
Bryan. "and there is no reform
which the people of Iowa have been
coDtenjing for that is not specifically
set forth in the Denver platform. Iowa
has been welded to the doctrines OF
a direct vote of the people for United
States senators. Your governor has
taken active part in the promulga-
tion of that idea, and those who work
ed with him were mortified when the
proposition on that subject was turn
ed down by the republican conven-
ton by a majority of more than seven
TO one, and delighted when Denver
voted it by unanimous vote"
He mentioned the tariff also and
told how sixteen years ago Iowa re-
publicans applauded speaker who
said tariff raised the pfice o. wool,
but reduced the price of wooden goods
