DIES MONIES, Ia. March z.-tSpec1aLl-
Woodrow Wilson made such fine inn
preston on Iowa people. both democrats
and republicans. that in Iowa his stock
as a presidential aspirant has risen ma
terially. Even the democrats who SHE'D
at the governor admit that he made a
speech entirely free from all criticism
and that he added to his prestige very
materially.
The audience that greeter him was an
exceptionally fine one and considering the
ihclemency OF the weather IL was large,
lie was listened TO attentively and earn
estly. He spoke without passion or feel
ing and discussed matters in an academic
way. but with clear and simple language.
The address was as much directed toward
republicans as towards democrats and II
drew forth applause from the large body
OF republicans as well as from the demo-
Gratis.
The woodrow Wilson people feel that
they have put TO shame the Champ Clark
contingent who have resorted to what the
former feel 10 be cheap political tricks TO
create prejudice against sIr. Wilson. The
Clark people have commenced to cir
cularize the democrats Of the state, call
ing attention TO various matters which
are intended TO create prejudice against
Governor Wilson and attacking him on
every vulnerable point. The Wilson peo-
pie have RETAINED from personalities, but
are threatening TO start out aud tell some
aisagreeable things about Clark unless
the warfare is called off. Both sides are
now claiming the advantage in Iowa. and
the indications are that their differences
will be fought out In the counties OF
the state and when the state convention
meets lines win be drawn pretty tightly.
RepubIiesn. Are Indifferent.
The republican state campaign for dele
gates to the national convention has
aroused no enthusiasm and very little
interest on either side. Thus far the
Taft people have the best OF II in the
districts where the conventions have
been held, but the cummlns people say
that their districts have held back TO
await developments and the later coun-
ties will be strongly progressive. There
seems 10 be a disposition on the part
Of the factions In all parts OF the state
10 avoid disagreeable and exasperating
contests and TO prevent such condition
that they will be unable TO make good
fight In the fall The Roosevelt can
didacy has not appealed TO anybody In the
state. and many OF the progressives say
openly they would rather aid Taft to a
nomination than to give Mt for the
colonel. No effort will be made to
get any delegates for Roosevelt either
first or second choice. Tho four dele
gates az large and certainly those from
five or six OF the districts win be for
cummlns Rs their sole choice. but they
are not In any sense bitter against Taft
nor pledged not to be for him in the end.
National Committeeman's Views.
Il am here. not because this Is a meet
ing In behalf Of any particular candidate,
but simply TO pay my respects to one OF
the leading democrats OF the country and
one Of the leading candidates. said Judge
Martin j. Wade OF Iowa City. Per
sonaily. think Il Is too early to settle
the question OF presidential candidates
so far as Iowa Is concerned. Our con-
ventlon Is not held until May is and
before that date conventions or primaries
will be held In Kansas. New York. North
Dakota. Wisconsin. Illinois. Pennsylvania.
Nebraska. Oregon. Tennessee. Colorado.
Florida. Connecticut and California. II Is
therefore apparent that before our state
convention sentiment win be pretty well
crystalixed and there ought to be no DIFF
finulty In giving the support Of Iowa to
the right man. l like TO see the enthus-
iasm which Is manifested In behalf of the
candidates. and am sure Of one thing
that the Iowa democracy win assert It's
full strength TO prevent the nomination
OF any man who IL not representative Of
modern political thought. Iowa is pro-
gressiye and the democracy Of Iowa be-
lleves In those progressive policies which
win best serve the interests OF the whole
country. and am satisfied when the time
TONES that candidate will be nominated
who VIII be satisfactory to all democrats
in the state"
