1t was the writer's good fortune IL
be present at the Democratic meeting
held in Madison last week and share
in the enthusiasm for Woodrow Wilson
The meeting was called to promote
Governor Wilson's candidacy for pres :
ident The hour of meeting having
arrived it became evident from the
number present that it will take lots of
room for Democrats this year. 1t was
not only large gathering Of represen
tative Democrats, but il was very
harmonious and very enthusiastic
gathering. 1t was made up of veterans
OF Democracy, OF young progressive
Democrats and OF men who in the
past professed and CALLED themselves
Republicans. The sentiment was unan-
imous for Governor Wilson, because
he stands for progressive democracy,
and in opposition to the machine poll
ticians Of all parties; because from
his youth up Governor Wilson has been

historian and a great statesman; be

deserving Of the highest political hohors'
The sentiment for him was, and is,
spontaneous, because the political ex
egencies of the times demand that such
a man as he Is be placed in the nations
executive chair. Governor Wilson has
defined progressive democracy as mot
radicalism, but animated moderation.
The feeling shown for Governor Wilson
In the Madison meeting was more than
animated moderation. 1t was animated
determination to choose az candidate
for president one who realiZes,-tO use
Governor Wilson's own words, - that
within less than a generation all the
economic conditions Of life and business
In this country have changed almost
beyond recognition, while our politics
have all but stood still" No word in
disparagement Of the claims of other
names mentioned as Democratic can.
didates for the presidency was uttered
by any member Of the Madison meet
ing; but all seemed to feel that this is
Democratic year, and that Woodrow
Wilson Is the man to lead the hosts to
victory. The meeting reflected credit
upon Mr.. Awkward and the other lead
ing Democrats who took the initiative
in bringing 1t about, and 1t cannot fail
to inspire Democrats for the perform
ance Of the duties that are before them.

MORNINGSIDE WILL
ERECT BUILDINGS
Trustees Of College Plan to Make
improvements.

Sioux City, May 10.--A commit
tee from the trustees of Morning
side college has been chosen with
power to act in the setting up and
carrying out of a financial campaign
and the erection of whatever build
ings may be deemed necessary for-
the rebuilding of the institution,
whose main building was recently
destroyed by fire.
Efforts TO raise money will be
made as soon as an insurance ad-
justment is made, and it is probable
that at least three buildings will be
erected this summer. One will be
the rebuilt main structure as an ex-
elusive class room building, anoth-
er will be a chapel and library, and
a third will be the women's dormi-
tory, for which funds already have
been raised.

President Taft is in favor, he
says, of a law limiting the president
to one term. On general principles
the Freeman Tribune is opposed to
such a law, but it would be mighty
fortunate for the republican party
If such statute were now upon the
books. However, it must be favor
ed upon the theory that the people
of this country are not fit to govern
themselves. If the people want to
elect a man to the presidency one
term or a dozen terms they ought
to have that right. The silly custom
that limits the presidency to two
terms was responsible for the refus-
al of a capable and strong man to
stand as a candidate four years ago,
which resulted in the selection of a
weak executive who leans upon the
worst kind of leaders and takes adj
vice from men who have for years
preyed upon the people. The Free
man-Tribune believes George Wash
ington looked at this proposition
about right when he wrote to La
Fayette more than one hundred

Many republicans would like to
see the contest between Roosevelt
and Taft so close that LaFollette
and Cummins would have the bal
ance of power in the national con-
vention, thus being able to defeat
both the leading candidates. La
Toilette and Cummins now control
about fifty delegates and it is among
the possibilities that they will hold
the key to the situation when the
convention meets. If Roosevelt had
entered the arena two or three
months earlier nothing could have
defeated him, but he was reluctant
to get in and consented only after it
became plain that Taft could be de-
feated in no other way. However,
the fight has become so bitter that
many republicans believe neither
Taft nor Roosevelt can be elected,
though it is generally conceded that
Roosevelt would be the stronger at
the polls.

At the republican state conven-
ton in Kansas, held at Indepen-
dence on Wednesday, Roosevelt
majority was only little better
than seven to one. On test vote
the convention stood: 104 for Taft
and 100 for Roosevelt. The four
delegates-at-large were instructed
for Roosevelt and resolutions en-
dorsing the administration were
turned down.

The Judgment of leading demo-
cratic politicians is that If Roosevelt
is nominated by the republican con-
vention Bryan will be the demo-
cratic nominee. Wilson, Clark, Har-
mon Underwood or any other candi-
date is strong enough to pit against
Taft. but in the event of the nomi-
nation going to the ex-president the
strongest man in the democratic
party must be nominated. With
Roosevelt and Bryan as the oppos-
ing candidates it would be battle
royal. Bryan is stronger today
than he ever was, but Roosevelt has
lost in popularity since he retired
from the white house. These two
men have never been pitted direct
ly against each other. Mckinley de-
feated Bryan in 1896 and again in
1900. In 1904, when Roosevelt
swept the country by majority OF
two and half million, Parker, a
reactionary democrat, was his OPP
ponent. Bryan was opposing Taft
in 1908 and Roosevelt did what he
could for Taft, even getting into an
argument in the newspapers with
Bryan. Wonder what staid and
