BY the nomination of Gov. Woodrow
Wilson the democratic party has plac-
ed at the head of its ticket its most
promising leader and its strongest can
didate.
Gov. Wilson represents intelligent
progressivism within his party, pro-
gressivism which found successful eX-
preston at Baltimore, though it failed
at Chicago He is man of high eper-
sonal character, of distinguished in
tellectual attachments, and brief but
briliant political record. He is, more
over, in full sympathy with the nation
wide movement to overthrow the ALI
ance between professional politics and
organized money, which is the most
important factor in American pnblic
life today. Fought bitterly by pluto
Gratis, reactionaries, and bosses, and
made more recently, the victim of
campaign of misrepresentation and
journalistic demagogy, he has grown
steadily in public favor and confidence.
The Democratic party is to be con-
graduated upon the choice of Gov
Wilson. It also owes debt of thanks
to MIR. Bryan, whose successful fight
in the convention against reactionary
plutocracy will 60 down to posterity as
one of the most dramatic exhibitions
of the moral influence of great lead
er of the people our political history has
shown.-C Tribune.

The Corn Crop of Iowa.

Iowa has an annual corn crop
worth over one hundred and fifty
million dollars, the second state in
the union in this respect. In Iowa
corn is the staple crop of every coun-
ty, but other farm products are also
of immense value.
More attention has been given to
increasing the yield per acre in Iowa
than ever before. and the Iowa State
Fair and Exposition is great influ-
ence in encouraging this study of
better crops.
It is at this annual gathering the
farmers of the state meet to ex-
change information and to study
conditions as they find them all over
the state.
Any progressive farmer cannot af-
ford to overlook the Iowa State Fair

the benefits which come from this in
