IOWA DEMOCRATS.

Recent events in the state have
made the outlook for democratic sue
cess much brighter. The announce
ment that former Governor Garst
will contest with Governor Carroll
for the nomination means nothing
but the bitterest sort of civil war
fare in the republican party. Already
standpat and progressive papers
have taken up the fight and the fur
is flying in all directions. No party,
even the republican party in the
state of Iowa, can survive the fac
tional fighting which has been rag
ing for more than a decade among
it's leaders and members. The Ali
son-Cummins contest was bitter
one and occasioned numerous enmi-
ties. The Carroll-Garst fight in
herits all this fractional foe and must
necessarily create more. There can
be no harmony and whether Garst or
Carroll is successful at the June pri-
maries, he cannot be elected. No
standpatter will stand for Garst and
no progressive for Carroll And SO
all down the line to the most insig-
nificant offices in the gift of the peo-
pie.
On the other hand the democratic
party is displaying a vigor, an ener-
gy and a common sense which must
spell victory. The best men in the
party have announced their candi-
dacies for office. A glance at the state
papers reveals the fact that Claude
Porter will undoubtedly be the nom
inee for governor. Here in the First
district the candidacy of Joe Pollard
for congress is being received with
a great enthusiasm. With such men
as Porter and Pollard and others of
their stamp bearing the standard of
determined and united democracy
against the chaotic G. o. P. the re-
suit of the election next November
is forecasted. Burlington Gazette.

AT LAST.

The announcement that Aldrich,
of Rhode Island, and Hale, Of Maine,
are to retire from the senate at the
close of their present term is well
come news.
Aldrich, by his subservience to the
money powers. has for years been a
disgrace to public life. Hale, while
not as prominent as his Rhode Island
Men familiar with the inner life Of
Washington are we'll aware that he
has repeatedly disgraced his high
Office
The ultimate discrediting of AL
drich and Hale was inevitable. Their
own disgraceful acts insured it.
Had they begun thirty years ago
to serve the people, their names to-
day would be honored household
word. But they steadfastly disre-
garded their obligations, and always
fastened to do the bidding of the
tariff barons of New England and
the money kings of Wall street.
Today, old and gray, worn out in
the service of their masters, Aldrich
and Hale retire in disgrace,
spurned by the people, reaping the
bitter reward of their own 'deliber-
ate misdeeds.
Hale, covering before the wrath
of his own people in Maine, realizes
that his defeat is certain, and refuses
to face his disgraceful record in a
campaign.
Aldrich, high priest of .standpat-
ism, is hated from ocean to ocean.
Republican leaders regard him as a
handicap too heavy to risk. AS a
forlorn hope they are casting him
overboard-a concession to the voice
of the people.
The retirement of these two men
in disgrace is victory for the people
but it cannot avert the storm: The
senate contains other men as dis
graceful as Aldrich and Hale. If
they do not retire voluntary they
will be retired forcibly when the
voters come to pass upon their claims
to be returned to the senate.-Chi-
cago Journal.

PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY
HOPE OF THE NATION.

Joseph W. Folk in Norman E..
Mack's National Monthly: There is
a tidal wave of democracy rising in
the hearts of the people of this
country. Whether the democratic
party rides on it's crest, or is smoth-
cred beneath it, depends upon the
democratic party being democratic.
If the party is dominated by the
agents of special privilege it will not
benefit by this growing sentiment
against privilege. If the party any
where bows down to the Golden Calf
and prostrates itself to the greed of
special interests, this tidal wave will
sweep it into deserved defeat.
Thomas Jefferson taught that the
leaders of the party must hold their
power by needing the just demands
of the people, not by hushing them.
When a breach occurs between the
leaders of the party and the masses
in any state, the party must either
have new leaders or it's disaster is
near. If the democratic party is to
succeed it must be progressive, not
reactionary. There is a battle going
on in this nation today between pro-
gress and reaction, between dollars
ana men, between money and NOR
ais, between privilege and equal
rights. If the democratic party is
true to its ideals it must stand for
progress and put men above dollars,
morals above money and equal rights
above privilege. If the party is not
true to it's own principles, it cannot
expect the people to be true to it.
There has been too much shouting
of party names and too little teach
ing Of the principles that political
parties are supposed to stand for.
We have reached the point in this
country that when man says he is
a democrat or republican, it does
not necessarily reflect the principles
he believes in, and if he expresses
which he believes we cannot tell
from that what political party he be-
longs to. The hope of the nation
must be in the principles of democra-
cy, and what the democratic party
needs is to take an affirmative stand
for them. There is an independent
spirit abroad in the land today, and
it is to this spirit we must appeal.
The party must convince the people
not what it proposes to do for itself,
but what it can do for them. An
aggressive fight for progressive ideas
will do more in winning political
battles than all the gold that could
be poured into the party treasury
II the republican party does not
represent privilege, then it has no
reason for existence, for the demo-
cratic party represents the other
side, founded as it was upon the
maxim, Equal rights to ALL special
privileges to none" This motto en-
braces every essential of real democ-
racy. Whatever the political prob
lem before us, we may safely seek
its solution by this rule.

THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.

What could be more pathetic than
uhis spectacle of the republican
party-the party Of Lincoln, Grant
and Notwithstanding with ill-con-
cealed apprehension for the coming
of Theodore Roosevelt and the Day
of Judgment?
Waiting for him to divide the
sheep from the goats Waiting for
him to judge the quick and the dead
Waiting for him to say whether it
has fought the good fight-Waiting
for him to say whether it has kept
the faith-Waiting for him to say
whether it has finished it's course
it is PROSTATE before him like the
mandarians before the Son of Heav-
en-.
But when Omnicence has come,
and when Infallibility has judged,
what then?
Suppose the decision is in favor of
Mr.. Taft and the tariff. Will the
storm of protestbe stilled? Will the
waves of popular discomfort sub
side? Will the country stop clamor-
ing about the cost of living, and
weep tears of gratitude for half a
loaf? Will labor joyfully accept its
wage, exulting that it is permitted
to earn it's bread in the sweat of its
face? Will Aldrichism and Cannon
ism be sanctifed, and Ballinger be
hailed as the Great Conservator?
Will reactionary and insurgent alike
find peace that passeth all under
standing?
Or suppose the decision is against
Mr.. Taft. Will the president meek
ly confess that he is only Proxy
and an incompetent Proxy at that?
Will he be contented to go dowr
in history as a political understudy
subtenant in the white house who
lid not wait dispossess proceedings:
Will the administration kiss the
hand that smites it, and bless the
foot that kick it's into oblivion? viii

wholesale grocery, and will Knox
Wickersham, Dickinson and Mage
gracefully resume the gentle art o
corporation law, While Wall stree
gets ready to make its regular cam
paign contribution to the cause o

Whatever the decision, there mus
inevitably be anguish and disap
pointment and heart burning; TO
even Infallibility cannot bring costa
sy to everybody, and millions of re
publicans seem doomed to suffer i
silence. There can be no protest, Q
