and puissance Of their majesties. Bailey

and puissance Of their majestieS Bailey
has leaped and writhed and roared be-
fore Texas audiences chsnting exag-
gerated praises Of the state, appeal
ing to local prejudices and asserting
with sobs his willingness to die for
Texas. He has posed with one hand
pointing to the stars while, the other
felt slyly behind his back to, see that
the Pierce OH Company had not got
beyond reach. Bailey managed to fool
the country for while. He has con-
trived to fool Texas longer.
Invariably there comes time when
the Bailey type Is uncovered and IN
stead of a death defying patriot the
people see a mountebank capering in
caricature before high heaven. Bailey
seems to have come to his time. Both
Texas and the senate will be better off
without him whenever the state of
Texas sets him and his mouthings
aside for good. The serious thing about
the type is that it does not attain or
continue in power by its own strength
but upon the weakness and credulity
of the voters.
There is but one safe way Search
the candidates record. Ask the can
didate how he will vote on vital issues.
The resort of knaves is patriotism and
the leading cards Of the Bailey type are
the grand old state variety Of oratory,
the weepy tales OF vanished boyhood
spent in the valleys or on the ridges
Of our magnificent commonwealth"
and bid denunciation. Hold them to
the point. Search the records of men
who wish to become senators or to re-
tain senatorships. Old time stories and
old time songs and vociferous bluff are
merely the legerdenain Of the shifty
politician who invites ns to watch
knowing that the hand is quicker than
the eye.

As TO PRESIDENTIAL BElInlEMEN1.

The intimation that Taft Is belittling
the presidential office and hurting the
republican party by getting out on
the stump and fighting for renomina-
ton is about the nerviest suggestion
that has come from the Roosevelt
camp. 1t is a nasty fight. Nobody
enjoys the spectacle.-Sioux City Jour-
nal
The Journal Is right in a way. No
body can blame Mr.. Taft for getting out
and hwtling for himself. So far as
noticed nobody has done so. 1t is a
nasty fight enough. but is a fight on
certain vital points and one which must
be waged until these questions have
been settled.
However. an intimation Is made that
the president is helittling his office by an
undignified scramble to retain it that
intimation Is simply rejoinder to the
abuse which has been heaped upon
Roosevelt. It is quite as belittling TO
Taft to be running around in circles
screaming from the stump as for Roose-
Welt There has been no lack Of in
timation" against Colonel Roosevelt.
ton OF belittlement if Roosevelt must
carry the direct abuse and contumely
heaped upon him by the presidents
supporters.
To be sure Mr.. Taft is president.
However at that he is not a greater
person nor more representative Of
American dignity than his predecessor,
Indeed there is in America no moro
thoroughly representative American
than Roosevelt whether in or out Of
office.
1t is hard TO see why two candidates
representing each definite divisions Of
party should not argue their differences
before the rank and file Of that party.
On the contrary there seems many
good reasons why they should do that
very thing This rank and file are the
party. At least such Is the Roosevelt
theory Of party and Of government.
Why not an appeal to headquarters
The direct appeal to the people has
nothing undignified or belittling about
it. II there shall be helittlement 1t is
Of the person and not Of the purpose.
II President Taft shall 80 conduct his
personal campaign to the people as to
his own belittlement or If Colonel
Roosevelt shall belittle his high stand
ing rest assured that neither will get
away with it. The common voter Is a
person Of considerable dscernment and
endowed with a much better sense OF
proportion that politicians are inclined
to credit.
AS to belittlement it is between the
two men. It is largely a question Of
comparison One is smaller than the
other.

SILLY YOUNG MIR. YOUNG.
rRockford Register.1

In the issue Of the Register of April
there appeared paragraph under
the CAPTION TT Won't Work in Iowa,
in which reference was made to the
threat Of Armour vowing the political
determination OF Senator Kenyon be-
cause of his activity in prosecuting
the former and other big law breakers
The observation was also made that
while the packers might be able to
bamfoozle the voters OF Illinois on
sucr a deal as this. it wouldn't work
in Iowa, the paragraph closing with:

date he stands for Us 1t Lafe Young?)

In some way a reference to the

BRYAN AND IOWA.

Reports of an organized plan TO
stampede the Iowa democratic state
convention to Bryan probably are ex-
aggerated. They are based on the fact
that secret meeting Of the recently
organized Bryan league was held in
Des Moines on Thursday evening. In
the absence of an authorized report OF
the conference it was assumed that
the stampede theory might explain 1t.
Guesses to this effect brought forth
an Official" explanation Of the con-
ference. 1t was admitted that mean.
were considered for getting Bryan men
on the delegation to the national con-
vention, whether uninstructed or
pledged to Clark or Wilson, 50 that in
case of deadlock in the national con-
vention Iowa might be in shape to
work effectively for Bryan solution
This sounds like a more rational pro-
gram than would be involved in an
effort to send an instructed Bryan
delegation to Baltimore.
Bryan has made Il quite plain that
he does not wish 20 figure as volun-
tary candidate in the democratic ma
tional convention. When some en-
thusiastic friends insisted on entering
his name for the presidential primary
in Nebraska, Bryan insisted that 1t be
taken off the ballot. Everywhere he
has discouraged work for him In com
petition with the active or receptive
candidates. All. OF which doesn't mean
that Bryan would not accept nomt-
nation II 1t should come to him as the
| only promising solution of a conven-
| ton complication. Bryan has been
n INT
would refuse a call from the party
But even going SO far as to assume
that Bryan would be pleased should
such an emergency arise, he is shrewd
enough to see that active effort in his
behalf, either by himself or his former
enthusiastic supporters, would work
to his prejudice before the opening Of
the convention.
Iowa admirers OF Bryan who cherish
the hope Of his nomination at Balti-
