over the management of their affairs
in the nation. The republicans won the
last election and named the president
by an appeal TO the business men of
the country. The country was just
emerging from a panic brought on
under republican administration and
there was desire that we have u period
of recovery. They made tho people
believe that the democratic party was
dangerous. They promised and the peo-
pie believed them. that If their candi-
date for president was elected he would
carry ON the work begun by his pre-
decessor and aid in lifting the burdens
from the people. The people voted for
Taft because they believed there
would be tariff revision and that re-
vision would DO downward, and be-
cause they believed Taft would go on
with the work of Roosevelt.
To-day there is disappointment oN-
eryWhere, among business men and the
farmers and laboring men. There is
actual spirit of rebellion against the
entrenched powers at the national cap
ital Today the pepole would vote for
almost anyone in opposition to the]
present incumbent of the White House.
Yet the leaders are so entrenched and
of the demands of the people
Judge Wade asserted that the pro-
sressive republicans We're presenting
some of the best of the things for
which the democrats have long been
contendng, and that their platform
has been stolen from the democrats.
But If there is to be real relief for
the people it must come thru the
democratic party. He believed that not
before in many years has such an OPP
portunity come to the democratic party
and there is u great responsibility rest
ing upon it's leaders to show courage
and ability in meeting the demands of
the people.
This was the only address before the
meeting and the democrats present
were greatly encouraged by the re-
marks made.
Senator Joe Allen, of Pocahontas
county, spent the day in Des Moines
yesterday. He says there is not much |
politics in northern Iowa and i'll the /
absence of any controversy IN the
Tenth district there will not be much
of I; fight. Senator Allen Will be Il
for denomination and there
is not likely to be any opposition.
j. G. Van Lent. OF Muscatine Second
district member of the democratic state
states that thus far alb
solutely nothing has been done toward
bringing out democratic candidate
for congress in that district tho of
course they expect to nominate one
and elect him. Almost Immediately on
the announcement of the withdrawal
hnh in
all the counties The effort since
then has been to so arrange it that
there will only be one candidate and
no controversy at the primary, and this
will be done if possible.
Tt seems that there was an error
about Congressman w. ID. Jameson
to quit in the Eighth. as he |
has secured nomination blanks and is
ready to go into the game The an
of his liberation fol- |
lowed the decision in the famous
board of parole case in which Judge |
Towner got the worst of it, but the
democrats from the Eighth say this
had nothing to Go with the matter. 1T
seems that unless Jameson runs again
the chances of electing a democrat are
not very good and leading democrats
of the district are hard after the little
editor to make him stay in the game
to the finish
