Guthrie. Okla. July 26.-The attor-

by the people OF that place and sent

also said the republican party has re
fused to enact laws TO prevent the is

who contribute to its campaign fund.

political parties to give publicity to

The club of patronage is being used
by the president to adopt legislation
and spoils is made the criterion Of
party loyalty. Iowa is placed in the
class of democratic states and all ap-
pointments are referred TO referees.
The insurgent republican looking with
longing eye on the moluments that he
thinks necessarily follow success, is
denied the opportunity Of enjoying the
pleasure of office holding, unless he
is approved by committee OF three
What an edifying spectacle it Is
that three distinguished standpatters,
two OF them eX-congressmen in whom
the people lacked confidence and the
third unable to obtain the endorse
ment OF his party for the governorship
are the referees Of an organization
where party regularity is the soc
merit for holding federal Office.
Against such system as this ev-
cry thinking citizen should rebel. Leg
islation should be based on merit and
an administration that secures its en-
dorsement by the spoils system should
be driven from power at the first op-
portunity."

DEMOCRATS OF IOWA IN FAVOR
OF HIGH LICENSE AND LOCAL
OPTION, NOT COUNTY-WlDE.
SULLIVAN TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN
Des Moines Man Scores Republican
Misrule and Misgovernment and
Says There is Feeling of Unrest
on All Sides.

Ottumwa. Iowa, July 27.-Thc dem
Ocratic state convention was called to
order here today Tor the purpose Of
adopting platform, nominating two
candidates for the supreme court
bench and choosing a new state cen
IL ii committee.
With the arrival of additional dele
gates, a pronounced sentiment in fav-
or OF declaring for high license ana
local option mot countrywide became
evident.
Jerry B. Sullivan of Des Mones,
temporary chairman, said in part:
The hour was never more prOpi-
tiOus for the application of democratic
principles than the present On all
sides we behold unrest and the feeling
that the government of our country IS
not satisfactorily administered. The
elements contending for supremacy
are fraught with injustice and wrong
the concentration of power, the eX-
acting of tribute the wealth of the
nation in control of the few-are all
calculated to cause the citizen to stop
and ask himself their meaning.
The continued existence of poll
tical party can only be justified where
principle is the basis of its acts. For
more than twelve years the republican
party has been in control OF every
branch of the government. During
this period of its supremacy it has
enacted two tariff laws that in each in
stance increased the cost of living,
without a corresponding increase in
the price of labor. 1t has permitted
a portion of the public domain to be-
come the property of syndicates for
private purposes. 1t has permitted
the expenditure of public funds to be-
come so wasteful as to call for the
protest of an outraged people"
Concentration Of power, centra'iza-
ton of wealth, trusts, the Commerce
Court and Postal Savings Bank law
were condemned by the speaker who
