THOSE BewlLpeR RED DEMOCRATS.

II. IS seems TO be the conclusion OF
the political wise men of the east.
Woodrow Wilson out Of It as a candi-
who is in it? Wilson, more than any
other, represented that large majority
of western and midwestern democrats
which are to be classified as Bryanites.
Clark comes next to the Bryanite
heart, but there has been small en-
thusiasm over Clark's candidacy ex-
ferred over Clark by Mr. Bryan and by
Mr.. Bryans heavy following which
prefers what Mr.. Bryan prefers. Tn
derwood is not persona grata in the
Bryan camp Harmon is dis1rusted and
hated. With Folk and Wilson both

against the Bryan democrats seem to
be milling around in their own corral
away from the big herd.
Wilson isn't Yet out Of II. The cooked

affect him most. 1t would not be in
character for Bryan 10 join hands with
Jim Dahlman in Nebraska. and Dahl
man is naturally and virulently OPP
posed to Wilson and for Clark in
kinship not altogether democratic but
which sticks closer than brotherhood
Then too, in Missouri there are those

shape than the repu blican party. That
expresses the limit of bewildernlenI
The main trouble in both parties is the
refusal Of the rank and file TO follow

parties are in the throes OF an evolu

years have brought wonderful changes
but the Herald doubts If in all the
realms of human achievement here IN
central Iowa there has been anything
more notable than the development OF
that large portion Of our citizenship
who lovingly look across the water to
Bohemia, the birthplace OF their an
cestors.
Those poor Bohemian farmers OF
forty years ago have become the
wealthiest landowners in Tama coun-
ty. Then they owned forty or eighty
acres. so rough that their farming OPP
erations were carried on most labor
iously. 1t is not uncommon today TO
find them owning a section or more OF
the best land in the county. worth s1oo
an acre. and coming to town in their
expensive automobiles.
Those section hands of forty years
ago raised families Of children who are
now business men. city officials. school
teachers, lawyers. doctors. preachers
and priests. They have won success in
many diverse lines and their abilities
and the strength and solidity of their
national character are widely recog-
nized.
