"DEMocRATs IN ABSOLUTE HAIR
-% E MONY." sS g

Des Moines, April 5.--The Demo
cratic State committee, in it's bulleti1
No. z, says that the prospects ART
everything but encouraging for those
marplots, false prophets and designers
OF evil thought for the democratic
party both in and out of Washington.
Champ Clark demonstrated his
manhood and devotion to the demo
cratic party when at a recent demo
cratic caucus he said in part as
follows: The democrats have al
exclusive program, which was writ
large in the Baltimore platform. Il
lis our duty to work it out. The only
way to achieve this is for every demo
crat in official position to give the
best there is in him to help redeem
our promises by subordinating indi
yidual ambition to the public veal"
ANY man fit for official station
who will let his personal likes or dis
likes interfere with his cooperating
in unifying the party in its herculear
and multifarious task of redeeming
our pledges is a thing increditable.
"The suggestion of such affairs
comes from faint hearted democrats
who are forever seeing ghosts OF
from malignant marplots masquerad
ing as democrats, but in reality are
only wolves in sleeps clothing. Gen
uine democrats who have the party
at heart would do we'll to give nc
heed to these self styled democrats
who by fouEy slandering other demo.
Gratis, who earned their enmity by be
ing democrat under all Circumstance
eS and conditions"
What more could one ask from the
man who was defeated at the Balti.
more convention? What more could
any one man have said? Does it not
clearly demonstrate he proposes to
help carry out the Baltimore pledges:
Does it not indicate that he will rem,
der every possible assistance to sc.
cure unity OF action for the same pur.
pose?
Any person who is directly or indi.
rectly acquainted with Mr. Clark
readily appreciates the fact that he
sonal ambitions at any time to hin.
der him in his efforts to serve the
people and his party. And when he
says he will cooperate with the presi
dent to carry out the pledges made al
the Baltimore convention he means
every word OF it.
1t has been said that Congressman
Underwood would not cooperate with
the present administration. This
too, is the product of those persons
who would for their own personal
gain seek to destroy the harmony wit
in the ranks of the party. Congress.
man Underwood has i:said on several
different occasions that Z he was in
hearty accord with the President and
his plans,,q AS leader of the house,
Congressman Underwood's entire sup
port will he given to the President
to secure proper legislation to fulfill
the promises made at Baltimore.
VIM. J. Bryan in his recent address
both at Lincoln and Des Moines was
profuse in his statements regarding
the attitude of the Cabinet members
toward the President and the unity
of action in carrying out the party
platform.
Senator Kern of Indiana, who was
the democratic candidate for the vice
presidency four years ago, and is the
senate floor leader today, has also on
several occasions expressed himself
as being heartily in accord with the
new president and his policies.
All in all, indications are pointing
most favorable towards the most har-
monious administration known to
America The representatives of both
houses as well as the president and
his cabinet are acting in unison upon
the various questions confronting the
party.
