BRYAN IN DES MONIES.
Peerless Leader Chief Speaker al
jefferson Banquet.

In q speech before the Jefferson
Club of Iowa in Des Moines, William
J. Bryan gloried in democratic sue
cesses in recent elections, and in the
massage of democratic measures
through the lower house of the con-
gress of the United States.
With his old time eloquence he
vent over again the list of principles
for which the democratic party has
been standing for years, but which
Of late have been either stolen by
the republicans or else accepted by
them from the democrats without a
nurmur.
Years ago, he said, he had to look
over his shoulder to see how far the
republican party was trailing, but
now, he said, he had to hurry up with
the procession.
He pointed to the direct election
of the United States senators and the
income tax as principles long con-
tended for by the democrats and
which have been practically adopted
by the republicans.
He upheld the Canadian reciproc-
ity pact, declaring that it was good
rs far as it went. He said it did not
10 far enough. He hailed it as the
Hrst step in the tearing down of the
wall of protection built up by repub-
lican administrations and asserted
that, whether the pact was approved
or sent to the scrap heap, that the
start had been made and high pro-
lection was doomed
The democratic free list bill, up
n h0
coming week, was declared by him
to be the greatest party strategic
movement made in thirty years:
There are republicans down there
ar Washington now who are sweat
ing blood in their efforts to find a
way OUT said Mr.. Bryan. 1T will
BIS put right up to them and it will
be mighty hard for them to turn it
down.
He paid particularly strong tribute
to Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey, praising the course he has
pursued thus far in his service as
chief executive of the state. He
spoke little of Speaker Champ Clark
of the house, but made no mention OF
Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio
His references to Governor Wilson
and Champ Clark were greeted with
applause.
The liveliest issue Mr.. Bryan hit
spon during his address, however,
was reciprocity, and his words were
followed closely.
Other speakers at the Jefferson
banquet were Representative Frank
A. O'Conner, of Chickasaw county;
D. D. Murphy, of Elkader; E. G..
lDann, of Mason City; Judge Wade,
Of Iowa City; Senator Moon, of Of
tumwa, and Louis Murphy, of Du-
Auque.

CORRUPTION IN OHIO,

If the facts which Detective Burns
says are in his possession are deemed
explicit enough by the grand jury to
justify indictments, graft operations
Of the most startling and widespread
character ever exposed at state cap
ital are about to come to public
knowledge in Columbus, Ohio.
Transactions of this nature have
IN unfortunate way of evading dis
aovery until those implicated in them
Nave passed from office-not infre-
suently until the offenses established
by them have been outlawed. Dis
closures such as have lately been
made at Springfield, Albany, Harris
burg and other capitals have discred-
tied the integrity of only small per-
eentage of those invested with public
functions When before have legis-
satiye graft practices ever been un-
covered so eXpeditiously and pitiless-
Unsmirched members in each house

general assembly?
Professional Crime Detector Burns
says this precise situation is what
We may expect as a result of the i'll
vestigations made in Columbus. His
home is in that town, and apparently
pride has furnished an incentive for
= masterful technique for the remov-
al of conditions of reproach and hui
initiation to his neighbors. His pro-
iiction is that unless members

jor the penitentiary are permitted to
continue the discharge of their duties

constitutional number of .unimpli-
Gated and unindicted members to
perform it's functions, must end in a
confusion unprecedented and a dis
grace unimaginable heretofore.
If unlawful influences have pre-
vailed to the extent charged, it is to
1e hoped the exposure will be on a
stale just AS sweeping. The condi-
Mo MS in that state have been fought
by Governor Harmon in operations
hitherto marked by notable sue
sesses. And one result should be all
decrease in the governors prestige
and a large extension of the public
confidence already imposed in him.
