Special 10 Times Republican
Des Moines,. Aug. 10.-Repeal Of the
law on the statute books of he United
States under which bogus "reciproc-
1ty" can be taken advantage Of by Can
ada any time, Is going to be an issue
in many states Of the northwest this
year, according to some Of the bull
moose progressives returned from
Chicago. This little Issue has not been
given front page heads but is said to be
tloaded.
Incidentally It can be said to the
fcredit Of the progressives of Iowa that
they wrote and adopted the first dec
tlaration in the country, in a party plat
FORM demanding the repeal OF that
.child OF the Taft administration, the
tyo- called reciprocity law. The Iowa
platform said:
Repeal Of the statute under which
Canada now has the option of accept
eance of an unfair trade proposal
It will be seen that Iowa progressives
did not call it reciprocity law, at
Nall but the national platform said:
1--WE demand the immediate repeal OF
the Canadian reciprocity act.
Iowa got in ahead Of Minnesota and
tother states in making this demand
The Iowa republicans refused to touch
fthe subject thru desire to avoid fr1c-
,tion so far as possible me BUN
Moose people are right in the game
thard. That they will thus be aoie 10
reach the farmers Is plain
Bsvsridae Speech Spectacular.
Returning delegates from Chicago
<ho feature
{of the convention was the great Grafton
iof Senator Beveridge which many OF
them declare was the greatest political
Noration in many years. AS word
painter Beverage has no equal. when
ne spoke in Des Moines six years ago
tat a time when 10000 regulars" were
engaged in boiling the head of the tick
iet. Beverage gave one of the most de-
tli9f1tful orations ever heard IN THIS CITY.
.The feature Of that PLATFORM said
n well known college professor mere
who Is a great student Of economies.
ISIS the treatment Of the trust and COM
fbfne ksue. You will see that 1t is given
INST place. That was to be expected.
I'm fact that IL the corner stone OF the
movement 80 far as It is OF national
scope What was said on that subject
Us not only good sense but IT Is shrewd
politics and It rs going to count IN the
,ionx run The platform Is strong risht
where both the others are very weak
Tariff Plank Criticized.
Local democrats anticipate that they
will BE- able to make most out OF the
tariff plank Of the new party. They
say It II not strong. 1t leaves no place
for q democrat to get in on 1t Is de-
clared to be contradictory and further
that the whole record Of Roosevelt as
president negatives all that is said OF
good in the platform. The democrats
expect to do their best work lighting
the tariff part of the platform"
A significant straw here this week
IL a strong editorial in the Daily News,
mot coming out for Roosevelt, but
plainly opening the way TO give the
tnew party great encouragement
