The st. Cloud Times is greatly per-
turbed as to whom The Herald favors
for the democratic nomination for
president. If the venerable editor would
brush away the cobwebs from his eyes
he would have easily discerned that we
stood for Wilson for first choice with
Clark our second choice. Contrary to
the editor of the Times, however, we
as well as the democrats of Morrison
county think great deal of Bryan,
He is not a candidate, but the nominee
has got to square a good deal along
his lines to be successful either in the
convention or the election. In the
strenuous days since 1896 the demo-
Gratis of Morrison county have stood
firm while Stearms had badly fallen.
Comparisons are odious. We want to
win, but in winning we do not want to
lose.

The political doings of the week have
furnished some surprises. While it was
though Roosevelt would carry Illinois
over Taft in the preferential primaries
the vote shown by incomplete returns
Of $4,000 to .1lS,000 was unexpected.
The issue of Lorimerism, however, had
mach to do with the result. LaFollette
made no particular at tempt in this
state and received 41,000 votes. In the
democratic primaries Champ Clark won
over Woodrow Wilson by $4,000 to
$4,000 the result being ascribed to the
support of the Hearst and Harrison fol-
lowing and the fact that Clark would
naturally have good deal of strength
there, especially as it is neighboring

Thirty Thousand Persons Home.
less in Flood District.
WATER PouRs INTO ARKANSAS
Three New Breaks Occur In Mlssis.
/ sippi River Levees at Points
South Of Memphis.

St. Louis, April s.-Thirty Thousand
persons homeless; two thousand
square miles Of country inundated
thirty persons drowned and fnancia
loss of $10,000,000 constitute the re
suit of two-week hood in the Missis
sippi valley.
These figures were arrived at BY
government engineers and officials Of
state levee boards engaged in fighting
to maintain the Mississippi levees
from Illinois to threatened points In
Mississippi and Arkansas.
Water is pouring into Arkansas
through three new breaks in the levee
south of Memphis. These gave way
and several hundred square miles are
flooded.
Railroad traffic in these sections
practically is paralyzed. Hundreds Of
persons still are menaced by the river
at points in lower Missouri, North
west Tennessee and Arkansas. They
are marooned in housetops, in trees
and on anchored RATS.
The most dangerous point in the
flood situation was at the Golden
Lake, Ark, levee.
A break at Golden Lake would mean
the inundation of section as large as
that flooded Saturday by the collapse
OF the wall at the St. Claire loop, zoo
square miles, with the probability that
the water from the two crevasses
would join. Because of this the flood
danger in the southern part of the val.
ley increased. AS long as the levees
north hold the strain on the southern
snbankments increases.
Hourly the danger zone works south.
ward. In the upper reaches of the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers the flood
has reached it's highest stage. This
means that the crest now is exerting
its pressure on the dykes from the
Missouri line southwark.
There has been suffering among
thousands Of refugees gathered in the
highland towns in the flood district.
However, this situation will be brief,
because officials of the state and fed
eral government are working to re-
Eeve it.
State and levee board officials in
the districts south Of Memphis have
been laboring to top the threatened
levess. Mississippi state officials
think. their entertainments will hold.
Nevertheless the menace to states
bordering the Mississippi south of
Memphis will not have ceased until
the food has passed the New Orleans
delta and emptied into the gulf.

WILSON ON THE MONEY TRUST

From a recent speech by Woodrow
Wilson in Tennessee:
1T went along very happily in my
political career, until one day I shall
always remember, in the city Of Har-
risburg, I made speech and said one
Of the great trusts in this country was
the credit trust, and the minute that
was mentioned the trouble began. We
have a great credit trust, and that,
gentlemen, must be put out Of bust
ness. knew at the time that what I
said was true. Men vince when you
touch them on the raw. They don It
vince when you touch them where the
flesh is sound, and if you want to know
if what you are saying is true, just
wait and see them vince. Now here are
many things that ought to be said about
the present situation in the democratic
party, only some of which I shall ven
ture to detain you to say, but there is
one thing that ought to be! said in every
democratic company, there are many
functions to be performed in setting
forward reforms. One of the first func-
lions is to set up and proclaim the
truth when almost nobody agrees with
you and then to go on proclaming the
truth and keeping our hearts untainted
and perfectly sound year after year
and decade after decade, keeping your
faith and what you understand to be
the interests Of the people, and
allowing no men to make an
alliance with you in anything ex-
cept what you believe to be the cause
Of freedom and Of truth and I want
to say in my judgment, there is one
man who won the undying affection
of this country by having performed
that great service and that man in Mr..
Bryan. His greatness and influence does
not consist merely Of the fact that
men love him, but consists in the fact
that men love him and trust him be-
cause he has kept his own life untaint-
ed by improper influence and his own
heart absolutely true to democratic in
terests. That is the reason no man dis
believes him, and it simply is another
instance of what I have been trying
to show.
