Wade Defends Wilson.

Judge Wade paid great tribute to
Woodrow Wilson and what has been
accomplished by him n the demo
cratic administration since it went in
power. He defended the administra'
.tion against charges of extravaganza
and Landed the party's faith to its
campaign pledges. He said the adj
ministration has done what the people
had asked it to do. 'If the people
don't like these things I'm losing my
faith in their capacity for self govern
men, he said. Judge Wade referred
to the war in much the same way as
had the other speakers. He took a
few raps at Albert D. Cummins and
said that If the members of his own
party refuse to support him that he
will have no reason to critic!se them.
He referred to the charges that VIII
son dominates congress and denied
these. But" said he, Il would rather
see congress dominated by Woodrow
Wilson than see it dominated by Wall
street as has been the case in the
past few years"

The pocket was turned wrongside

County Attorney McManus and J. o.
Boyd and Other Speakers
Porter Unable to Attend
the Meeting.

The democratic rally held last even-
ing in the district court room was at
tended by a fair sized crowd. One of
the principal speakers for the even
ing, District Attorney Claude R. Por-
ter, was unable to be present, it was
learned at the last moment, on &C
count Of the night session held in the
federal court where he has been pros
ecuting a case. Judge NJ. J.. Wade OF
Iowa City, was late in arriving and
did not reach the place Of meeting
until after 9 O'clock.
The meeting vas opened about
eight o'clock by John p. Hornish who
called on ]. o. Boyd to preside. From
then until the arrival OF Judge Wade
the time was occupied by County At
torney e w. McManus and J. Q. Boyd.
Make Capital Out Of War.
It was evident from the remarks OF
all the speakers that the democrats
are attempting to make capital out OF
the war in Europe. This subject was
referred to again and again by all
speakers who expressed their horror
of the a their thankfulness that
America is not engaged in 1t. and the
belief that it is the duty of the Amer
lean people Of all parties to lift up
their voices to whom we W this
condition OF peace"
In taking the chair j. o. Boyd
spoke of the predictions Of other par
ties made before the election Of Will
son that the democratic party, If it
should get in power, would not know
how to rule. Mr.. Boyd made the
claim that the present administration
has accomplished o constructive
legislation than has been made in any
previous ten years since the civil war.
He claimed that the democrats had
demonstrated their capacity to rule"
IN their Mexican policy. He predicted
that America would profit largely
from the war in Europe.
Partisan Strife Wrong Now.
Mr.. Boyd when he had concluded,
called upon Mr.. McManus who spoke
until the arrival Of Judge Wade. The
speaker said that 1t ill-becomes the
American people to engage in any
partisan strife when nearly the whole
world is engaged in a great tragedy
OF war. The crisis, he said. that has
been reached in the warning nations
has bound all parties there together.
This condition, he said, should prevail
here. The democratic party, said the
speaker, has given the country a new
era of freedom in the passing of meas
ures that have been hoped for and
dreamed Of for years. The faith OF
the party to it's campaign pledges was
given as a reason for helping to keep
the democrats in power.
