DEMOCRATS SEE VIC, >9Y FOR PARTY
FACTIONS ED...SENT|MENT GROWS

Washington, Feb. 12.-The air Of
confidence now permeating the ranh
and file of the democratic party here
is in marked contrast with the hope
lessness that prevailed at the clos
ing of the sixtieth congress, wher
the preliminary work began for the
presidential campaign of 1908. Then
those who made up the democratic
side of the house sat listlessly in
the shadow OF almost certain de
feat and little was heard but dire
prediction regarding the party's fate
Now, as the close of the sixty-first
congress draws near, the democrats
of the house are beginning to display
a lively interest in available presi
dental material for the 1912 contest
and this interest, perhaps better
than any other one thing, exempli
fies the restored confidence of the
leaders in the party.
Democratic leaders who look for,
ward to a record in the next house
say that conditions are shaping them
selves much after the manner of
1890, when the groundwork of the
victory which crowned their efforts
was laid. 1t is this hopefulness, this
enthusiasm on the part of demo
cratic leaders that causes one to
listen to claims set up by the friends
Of certain conspicuous democrats,
who are believed to be of presiden-
tial calibre.
AS one prominent southern repre-
sentative expressed it to a party OF
his colleagues, who were discussing
the outlook:
'The best evidence that our party
has been restored to the confidence
of the people was the widespread
victory of last November, which
brought prominently to the front an
array of presidential timber that is
almost embarrassing in that each
man thus far mentioned for the
nomination possesses certain quail
ties that will appeal to the electo-
rate. Personally l am not committed
to any candidate yet, and for that
reason l can, withou. pias, comment
on the men whose names, / believe.
will be given consideration by the
rank and file.
while l believe that the south
has her quota Of democrats of ma
tional ability, and the time has pass
ed when it would be unwise from
political standpoint to name a south
ern man, still when viewed from
a party point of vantage, one must
admit that New York holds the lead
for who is more in the public eye
than Governor Dix? He has an op-
portunity which, if taken advantage
OF, may lead to his nomination. New
York has always exercised a pow

erfu influence at democratic nation
al conventions.
But Governor Dix can look across
the river and find a rival in the
person of Governor Wilson of New
Jersey. Wilson was brought out as
presidential probability in the sum-
mer of 1907. 1t was that boom that
finally led to his nomination for gov
ernor last fall. The governors fight
for the primary candidate for the
senate, MARITIME, gives the country
fair idea of the kind of democrat he
is. In my judgment New jerseys
governor will continue TO grow in
presidential size.
Leaving the gubernatorial field,
l want to direct your attention to our
next speaker, Champ Clark of Mis-
souri,. His name was sprung as 8
possible presidential candidate in the
campaign last fall. He was given the
credit for bringing the party togeth-
er in our fight on the rules, and
making the issue on which we won
the campaign. Another thing that
can be said in Clark's favor is that
he comes from a state that no long
er can be classed as a rock-bound
democratic stronghold; and as the
candidate he could carry Missouri,
which might not be said of others.
One strong point in favor of Clark's
candidacy is his familiarity and
knowledge of the government. He
has the same faculty possessed by
the late President Mckinley, that of
knowing just how to handle law
makers and get legislation desired.
In Ohio we have a leading dem.
ocrat of large measure in the per-
son of Governor Harmon. While the
Ohio democrats do not seem to be a
unit for Harmon, it is safe to as
sumo the Buckeye delegation will
be practically unanimous for him.
Much depends, however, on the sue.
cess of his present administration
Not many miles from Columbus,
Ohio, Governor Harmon, with a spy-
glass, might trace the outlines of A.
rival in the person of Governor Mar
shall of Indiana. The Hoosier dem.
ocrats, that is a large majority of
them, say if we are wise next year,
we will head the ticket with Mar
shall and sweep the country
The names of Governor Foss of
Massachusetts and Baldwin of Con
necticut have been mentioned in con.
nection with the nomination, and It
would surprise me not If their states
sent delegations instructed for them.
They are able men and have a large
following in the west
"All Of this presidential specula-
tion at this time proves, to my
mind, that the democratic feeling of
confidence IS spreading, and makes
for spirited national convention
next year. so far as issues are con- |
cerned there will be many. When we
organize the house next winter we
will have our hands full turning
on the light and giving the people
a look at the shortcomings Of the
Taft administration. Another thing
that will accrue to our advantage
viii be the cut in the expenses OF
the government, but it may be that
the republican senate will undo much
of our work. However If the senate
tries that game we will place the
blame where it belongs, and the peo-
pie Will see through the trick. All
signs point to a democratic victory
in 1912"

Monticello, April 13.-The former
days when the Jones county officers,
under the guidance of H. D. Smith, of
Monticello, were making raids across
the county line upon the Cascade sa-
before the board of supervisors Tues
day
Away back in 1892, nineteen years
ago, the Jones county officers went to
Cascade and brought to the county
seat of Justice. fifteen liquor dealers
who were operating saloons within the
yard limit. The old prohibitory
statutes were then In force. but Du-
buque county. by virtue of its local
sentiment was self-created oasis In
the desert-a refuge for the thirsty. In
those days, H. D. Smith. of Monticello,
he Of prohibition fame. was making
things warm for the liquor sellers. He
was a surveyor. He went to Cascade
and ran the, lines which determined
that the saloons there We're operated
within the 5Oo-yard limit, and were
therefore within the ban of the Jones
county district courts.
The saloOnkeepers were tried in
Jones county and some were fined, and
paid their fines, others, however. refus-
ed to pay and We're confined to the
county Jail. Among these latter was
|Peter Herard, who had been In the
saloon business for about two years
He was not able to meet the fine, and
upon the advice Of his attorney threw
himself upon the mercy Of the court
He was fined $500 and costs and upon
default Of payment was confined In the
county Jail for 120 days.
Herard returned to Cascade at the
expiration Of his term but he did not go
into the saloon business again. He mad
had enough He entered upon other
pursuits, and created for himself ana
family. living and a property con-
five acres of land.
And then after about nineteen years
of prosperity. the specter Of the old
prosecution arose to cause him trouble
Jones county within the past few
years, turned over ali of it's old ac-
counts to an attorney for collection.
Among these was a claim against
Herard for his fine and court costs,
| which had not been wiped out by the
Jail sentence as he had supposed.
The matter was up before the board
Of supervisors last Tuesday. and the
claim at this time amounted to $1,000.
Mfr. erard petitioned for a resolution
recommending 1.-The remission by the
governor, OF the fine and costs. The
various phases. Of the old case were
gone over and after due deliberat1on. a
settlement was reached. Herard paid
all Of the old court costs and certain
costs incident to the opening up OF the
collection procedure. The board deem
ed that he had then fully paid the
penalty Of his early transgressions and
passed a resolution asking the gov
ernor to remit the remaining fine

one the next day and then 1t fluctuated

fifty the next day and he continued a

During all this time the work has
been quietly going on The only real
organization at work has been that for
Judge Kenyon. His committee was
well organized and amply financed and
there has not been an hour that the
situation was not carefully watched.
At first the Young forces were we'll
organized but after Young's with
drawal they lacked cohesion. There
was at no time any systematic work
done for Funk, Byers or Garst, as they
merely relied upon their records and
the sense of obligation Of the party
All the time the effort has been, on
the part Of the progressive majority at
least to plan a way for securing
sufficient nulnberof standpat votes to
elect.
When the break came to Deemer 1t
was felt 70. a. time that inasmuch as
he was good progressive it would end
the matter. but Judge Deemer himself
has taken no hand.
1t has been evident all along that the
only way the matter could be settled
would be by some trade or deal affect
ing legislation or offices and there has
recently been some work done along
this line. The most significant feature
Of the whole fight has been the es-
sential good nature Of all those who
have participated.
