to invite Decentralization of existing
prosperity. 1t is generally conced-
ed that the democratic party can be
depended upon to commit irrepara-
Bile blunders whenever victory seems
within its grasp. This is one Of the
things the bosses at Chicago who
stole the nomination for Taft were
relying upon and results seem to
warrant their faith.
Really, honest republicans who
deplore the work of the Chicago
convention are confronted by the
most serious problem that has con-
fronted the individual voter since
the rebellion and the days of recon
struction. It is up to them to de.
termine whether their pocketbook
or their conscience shall put the bal.

Roosevelt party would defeat George
w. Clarke for governor and the en-
tire state ticket. Mr.. Clarke has
for years been one of the leading
progressives of the state. 1t Is hard
lily probable that the progressives
who were Jealous for him would
now assist in placing a democrat in
the governors chair, after winning
a victory for their candidate in the
primaries. Mr.. Clarke is a man Of
experience and ability and should
command the full party strength.
The congressman also, in each
district in the state, will be in dam
ger if the new party is encouraged
in Iowa. In addition to this humid

TURNED DOWN TAFT.

Old guard republicans, as the re.
dictionary element of the party Is
pleased to term itself, may as well
make up its mind to treat the move
ment headed by Roosevelt as a vital
and influential force. 1t cannot be
brushed aside with an indifferent
sheer nor can it be subdued by
abuse of Roosevelt and the few
leaders but the millions of voters
who are backing the aggressive ex-
president.
The republican state convention
of South Dakota, the first held since
the Chicago convention, in session
at Huron on the second inst, abso-
lutely refused to endorse Taft or the
work of the national convention.
Five Roosevelt men were selected as
electors and throughout the proceed
ings the Taft contingent was in a
hopeless minority.
Congressman Martin, who secured
a place on the resolution commit
tee under the law of the state be-
cause he is nominee for re-elec-
ton, led in a fight for endorsement
Of the president. The resolutions
presented by the majority ignored
Taft and national issues, but Mr..
presented a minority report
"a thing which Chairman Root de-
clared in the national convention
could not be done) endorsing Taft
and the Chicago convention. This
report was defeated by a
vote Of 406 q to 2041s.

situation here in Iowa believe that

THE EFFECT IN IOWA.

Iowa City Citizen: The ways OF
politics are past finding out--in ad-
vance. In Iowa one probable result
Of the organization of the Roose-
welt progressive party, which has
not heretofore been given consider
alton, will be the welding together
of the two factions Of the party,
heretofore more at war than at
peace with each other.
The reason for this is apparent
when we consider that the last two
republican governors of Iowa were
elected for their last terms by plur-
alities Of only 10000. with tota,
vote OF over 100000 cast in the
state. A withdrawal Of any consid-
cradle number Of progressives to the

a FoRM1DABLE MOVEMENT.

Des Moines Capital: The man
who believes that the third party
movement, headed by Theodore
Roosevelt, will amount to little in
the coming campaign and at the
polls next November is likely to be
rudely undeceived when the votes
are counted. The Roosevelt move
ment may be a case Of zone man
party" as many assert. But II any
man will stop and consider the sit
uation, he cannot fail to see that
Roosevelt is heading movement
that is fraught with danger to the
political success of either the repub-
lican or democratic, party next fall.
For instance, there were 1,072
delegates at Chicago. OF these 1O7
voted for Roosevelt. And 344 more
OF them turned their backs on the
convention and formed a party of
their own. OF the 344 men, only So
were in minorities from fifteen
states ranging in number from / to
16. The latter delegates were from
Massachusetts,.
The larger part Of the delegates
were from Ohio, Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, North Carolina, Kansas.
Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebras-
ka, New Jersey and Oklahoma-all
republican states except Oklahoma
and North Carolina. In 1904 Roose-
welt secured from these states, leav-
ing out Oklahoma and North Caro-
lima, the following electors and pop
ular votes, according to the New
York World:

an attempt to endorse Taft in the
state convention will meet the same
fate as it did in South Dakota, with
the majority against the president
more pronounced than it was in the
Huron convention.
To this condition have the men
who insisted upon forcing Taft up
on the party, after he had been re-
pudiated by the rank and file,
brought the organization.
The big leaders senators, repre-
sentatives, governors and candidates
may get in line for the ticket
may stand for regularity, but the
great mass of voters who have nc
interest in politics other than to Sc.
cure good government will not
stand for what they believe to be 8

DEMOCRATS BLUNDER.

The fool declaration in the demo-
cratic platform in favor of tariff
for revenue only will cost the party
hundreds Of thousands of votes, as
it should. This country is not ready
for such tariff policy and will not
be for at least 100 years. A tariff
for revenue only, If honestly franz
ed, is nothing more than free trade
under another name. England is a
free trade country, known as such
throughout the civilized world, but
England in fact has tariff for rev.
enue only policy in force at this
very moment. Another ridiculous
declaration of the democratic plat
form is the following: Articles en-
tering into competition with trust
controlled products and articles OF
American manufacture which are
sold abroad more cheaply than at
home, should be put upon the free
list" The republican way of deal
ing with this problem is much the
better. To put such goods and wares
upon the free list would mean the
obstruction Of some of our biggest
industries, with all the disasters
usually accompanying such condi-
lions. If the democratic party would
be satisfied with a reduction Of the
duties upon the class OF manufact-
ures embraced in the foregoing the
American people would applaud, but
when the party declares in favor Of
free trade so far as those articles
are concerned it is taking step
that the American people will not
take. In order to maintain the con-
fidence Of the business world the
platform declares that the party Is
in favor of attaining these results
"by legislation that will not injure
or destroy legitimate industry"
Such a thing, the placing of these
articles upon the free list, cannot
be accomplished without at least in
juring legitimate industry and
when the democratic national con-
vention assumes that 1t can 1t Is
an attempted fraud upon the peo-
pie. The scare which this declara-
ton of the platform will throw into
many lines OF legitimate business
will result In strengthening Presi-
dent Taft's candidacy. Half the re-
publicans Of the country believe
Taft is the recipient of stolen
and that SO far as he is
personally concerned he is not
worthy the support Of honest men,
but just the same they will hesitate
q long time between casting a vote
