ALLISON LEADERS DISCOURAGED.

A most significant news dispatch has
appeared in the Chicago Tribune un-
der Des Moines date. Julian Rich
ards is the Tribune correspondent at
Des Moines. He was the railroad fac
tions candidate for secretary Of state
before the convention which nominat-
ed Cummins for a third term. De-
feated and bitterly disappointed, he
assisted the democrats IN their cam
paign to defeat Cummins at the polls,
and has been opposing Cummins for
the senatorial nomination.
In dispatch to the Tribune he tells
of dissension among the leaders Of the
Allison campaign, and of a panicky
feeling at the lack of progress they are
making. He says that many of the
leaders are sore because the big guns
from Washington are not forced to
campaign the state for Allison while
Cummins and Garst and Clarke and
Byers and Prouty are telling the peo-
Pile some things about politics which
will be dangerous for the people to
know.
Failure to make the Allison cam
paign strictly a standpat factional
fight is given as the subject of dispute,
but the significance of the dispatch is
that the leaders are getting discour-
aged. Their campaign against Cum
minis is not doing what they would
like to see it do, and one blames the
other for poor management. This is
the beginning of complete route, to
be followed shortly by retreat in dis
order.

Topics of the Times

In the absence of bull fight, it IS
exhilirating to witness the harmony
that prevails in the democratic party
just now.
Strange things will happen in our
public affairs. The ship subsidy bill
recently introduced in congress, which
provides for mail subsidy to develop
better communication with South
American ports, failed to stir up OPP
position among the public, because it
was intended solely to improve trans
portation without being loaded in the
interest OF some rich ship builder.
Congress, however, refused to recog-
nize it on the street.

ASSESSMENT INSURANCE OF DEPOSITS

"Wfen the government guarantees
bank deposits, the honest banker will
not have much of an advantage over
the dishonest one. But does the gov
eminent want to hold out no induce
ments for men to be honest in the
banking business ?"-Cedar Rapids
Republican.
Nobody asks the government to
guarantee bank deposits. The propo-
sition is that the government compel
the banks to contribute to fund
which shall insure bank deposits on
the mutual assessment plan. If there
is danger in removing inducements to
be honest, why did the government re-
uuire all stockholders in banks to be-
come liable for double the amount in
vested? With deposits guaranteed,
each bank would watch the other, and
the stockholders would get notice in
time to protect themselves. The pub
lie should not be required to hold the
sack. If the principle is wrong, why
do banks stand together thru their
clearing house associations in times of
distress or panic? Why not remove
panics and bank runs and let the
stockholder hustle for himself?

CAN BRYAN WIN NOMINATION?

Six weeks ago it was generally con-
ceded that Bryan would be the choice
of the Denver convention for president
on the first ballot. Today there is
some reason to doubt Bryan's ability
to land the nomination on any ballot.
Politically things have not been COM
ing Mr.. Bryan's way, and he is very
much concerned.
The first break in the northern
states occurred when Minnesota en-
dorsed Governor Johnson. That loss
was not alarming When New York
rejected the Nebraskan and refused
to consider resolution of endorse
ment, Bryan's hopes were severely
shaken. The endorsement of Judge
Gray by Delaware followed and Bry-
ans political fences are now found in
bad repair in several other states.
Pennsylvania will send an unin-
structed delegation to Denver, which
means that it, will be opposed to Bry-
an. The Michigan state committee re-
fused to vote it's endorsement of his
candidacy, and the state convention
may not instruct. And now it is re-
ported that every New England state
will send unpledged delegations to the
national convention. Bryan will have
to fight to secure Ohio. California,
Oregon and Washington are claimed
for Johnson, and Senator Tillman will
head an uninstructed delegation from
South Carolina Other southern states
are demanding that Bryan stand on a
prohibition plank, and this is a source
of danger.
There is reason for Bryan to be wor-
ried. He is far short Of the two-thirds
necessary to nominate. 1t is not i'm
probable that Taft will be opposed by
a new democratic leader, and it is gen
orally believed that Taft can afford to
VI elcome the change.

to be bound by caucus. but these
occasions are rare. and it is generally
admitted that boiling a party caucus
is an invitation to party chaos. The
man who does it is branded as irreg-
ular and dangerous to effective party
organization.
In the Iowa legislature for years the
party caucus has selected United
States senators. When the republic
ans were in power and two or more
republican candidates to be considered,
the republican members of both house
and senate would meet in caucus and
decide by majority vote who should
receive the united support of the par
ty in the formal vote of the legsla-
tive session. The democrats would do
members refused TO abide by the eau
Gus decision. The caucus has been
accepted as necessary, and sensible
men have recognized the wisdom of
supporting the caucus nominee with
the same fidelity to their party that
prompts them to accept the state con-
vention nominations for state offices
and to support the ticket.
This year, however, the laws have
changed things. ALI the voters of
party, at a great convention of the
whole, called statewide primary, will
ticket will be selected by the votes of
all at the primaries instead of by
votes of delegates at the convention.
The legislative caucus, too, Is sup
planted by a caucus of all the voters
at the primary at which it is to be de-
cided by majority vote who the party's
members of the legislature shall sup
port for United States senator. Any
party man who would be willing to
enter party caucus of legislators and
support the nominee of the caucus, is
morally bound to accept the decision
whole party, and support the nominee
there made. This is the law as en-
acted by a legislature, and both Gov
ernor Culnmins and Senator Allison
have announced that they will abide by
the decision of the primary caucus by
withdrawing their candidates. in case
they fail to receive a majority of the
votes cast in the caucus.
Any man who will insist upon the
right to act as the votes of his county
go declares his intention to bolt the
caucus. The old legislative caucus
was held for the purpose of uniting
men of the same party upon a pro-
gram of action, and party men uni
versally agreed to abide by the eau
Gus regardless of the wishes of their
If they refused, they
were boilers. Today the statewide pri-
mary is the caucus. The same men
are bound by the same obligations to
abide by its choice regardless of the
vote in their county alone. If they re-
fuse, they are boilers. The voters
should grasp this new caucus of the
whole party thoroughly In their minds
and see to it that each candidate for
a nomination for the legislature de-
clares in advance whether he intends
to stand by his party caucus on Unit
ed States senator, or whether he is
going to bolt the caucus and vote as
his constituents at home would prefer. |

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES

The Sioux City Tribune thinks:
This is a good time to ask the can
didate for pubic office what he stands
for. The glad hand, the winning smile
and pleasantres should not count
much in this campaign. What do you
stand for? is always pertinent ques-
ton at election time"
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-04-17

AS a specimen Of democratic har-
mony in Iowa the following from the
Manson Democrat is quoted: George
F. Rinehart, the sacrilegious scoundrel
who runs a pseudo democratic weekly
newspaper in Des Moines, says he
felt in the presence of Bryan much as
the apostles must have felt in the pres
ence of Jesus This is going the limit
of sacrilege with vengeance and such
a truly noble man as Mr.. Bryan can
not help but feel Inundated when he
reads such language. However, Mr..
Bryan is in exactly the same position
as other good democrats-he cannot
stop the bark of an unclaimed cur who
has not yet been cleansed Of the mango
of republicanism."
An editorial in the Cedar Rapids
Republican announces that Ex-senator
TreWin, who is now a candidate for
congress in the Fifth district, is a rail-
road reformer, and further states that
he is one Of the first to see the neces-
sity of such action. The Waukon
Standard calls this "humor in politics"
and the Waverly Independent thinks
ut may be that and then again it may
be just common place political false
hood!"
The Fairfield Ledger says: "The road
drag has been used in Jefferson county
long enough to convince any man who
is open to conviction that the cheapest
highways and the best highways can
be made with the drag.
In the opinion Of the Algona Repub-
lican, eff things continue as they are
going the house of representatives will
