what shall we do right now with the
concrete economic issues which con-
front the nation.
During recent weeks interviews have
been printed in several leading Demo
cratic papers, and l refer to Democrat
ic papers which are truly Democratic
and not to those which once were, in
which there is exercise of soul over
matters of candidates.. Political men
and brethren, let US take counsel to-
gether. not of such distant questions,
but of those matters which we must
dispose of within the coming twelve
month.
Let it be the worriment of genuine
Democrats that our people acquit
themselves with credit on this tariff
issue, on the pressing issue of enlarged
powers for the interstate commerce
commission. on the issue of humane
laws touching labor. on honest legis-
lation in reformation of the finances
in short, that the men who were elect
ed to represent the Democratic party
in this city do what they should do
and meet the demands for broad mind
ed tariff revision and on other vitali-
ties.

! Democrat who has been before the
ways and means committee has i'm

nue. schedules without change and has
been not one whit less insistcnt than
the NEST orthodox Republican of the

| In fact, the only group of Democrats
which has argued for alteration of
tariff schedules has been composed of
| men like Frederick Lynch of st. Paul
and those who appeared with him,
each CT whom owned large timber
tracts in Canada. Let it be said to
Mr.. Lynch's credit that he admitted
to me that he was selfish in his atti-
tude, moved thereto because he owns
so much Canadian timber and mill
property.

of the tariff was wonderful to relate

Clear Lake, March pa number of
new dwellings,, Of the better class of
buildings, will be erected here this
spring and summer. Several cottages
around the lake shore will also be
built. Already houses in Clear Lake
are at a premium. At no time in the
past few years have they been in such
to secure one, or even to get rooms,
and with all this, our streets were
never more muddy, nor looked more
forlorn. City sewerage is now the
talk, and it seems likly that the much
needed improvement will soon be
made. A septic plant is demanded, and
no filth will be allowed to run into
the lake. Since this talk. a dwelling
lot bringing $1,000 is not uncommon.
The ice in the lake shows signs of
breaking up. The fish and game clubs
of both this city and Mason City, are
determined to put stop to illegal
fishing and hunting.

,Ottumwa, March 30.-The city Of
.Ottulnwa, normally strongly demo-
cratic and always and VIGOROUSLY a
wide-open town until "Billy" Sunday
started a movement to clean up the
municipal body, came within ITO votes
of electing a reform mayor and other
city officers in Mondays election.
The campaign here has been historic.
Conditions were similar to those exist
ing in Marshalltown, except that party
lines have always been drawn here and
were to some extent in this election.
The republicans, however. had pledged
a clean administration. adopted plat
form demanding change in those con-
ditions which have led up to many
crimes, and thus rallied to the support
of their candidates some of the best
citizens of other parties. Fealty to
party, aided by the saloon and ganb-
ling elements, which have long die
tated local politics, enabled the present
mayor, T. j. Phillips, to win by a nar-
row margin, and he carried the ball
ance of the democratic ticket with him.
The campaign has been a memor-
able one, and while the voters who
stood for law and order and morality
did not win, they have made such
gains under discouraging conditions
that the fight will be continued and
law enforcement will not be unknown
here The women of the city took an
active part in the campaign and proved
force.
The campaign was participated in
by ministers on the republican side,
and also the Cleanup Ottnmwa
Woman's League" was active
during the campaign, holding
prayer meetings and parades. This is
the third successful campaign Of

cratic candidate for governor. Three
