The recent election in the Second
congressional district of Iowa result
ed in the victory of the democratic
incumbent by a plurality of 1000
votes, the progressive candidate rum
ming third. Thus there is no appar-
ent sign of reaction against the ad-
ministration, for which the republic
cans have been hoping. AS long as
the elephant and the bull moose con-
tinue scrapping each other so long
will the country remain democratic.
With the three parties in the field
neither the republicans or progress
ives have any hope of winning.

Bitter Of the Spells SYSTEM

That every sweet has its bitter"
is being fully realized by the demo-
cratic congressman and senators who
are daily besieged by hungry Office
seekers and their anxious friends for
more positions than are in their gift,
and in return are abused and bias
phemed because the Offices are not
Immediately forthcoming.
The sweet was the glorious demo-
cratic triumph, and the democratic
congressman and senators being sub
sequently rushed into positions of in
fluence with the administration
which had been so long denied them,
but the bitter of the situation comes
through their Over-anXious support
ers who expect some appointment for
every prominent democrat, and get
mad because their thirst for office and
place cannot be satisfied. This con-
dition naturally creates opposition to
the congressman and senators where
none would otherwise exist.
The case of Senator Gore of Okla
homa, who is being sued in the courts
by the wife of a disappointed office
seeker. who charges that the blind
senator assaulted her while on visit
to her room, where she had tele-
phoned him to call so that she could
urge the appointment Of her hus-
band is evidence of what patronage
distributors may sometimes expect
Senator Gore says the charge is 6
frame-up by disgruntled and disap
pointed office seekers who desire tt
ruin him politically because of theil
failure to connect with the pie wag
on, and on the face Of the reports
at the trial this appears to be true
but it is an exaggerated incident t.
show to what means the office-hungr.
will resort to in their maddening rusl
for place and the power to distribut
federal patronage, so suddenly thrus
upon them, is giving the Democrat
representatives in congress more PAL
than pleasure, and will no doub
cause many who would otherwise b
reelected without opposition to los
their seats in the nations lawmakin
body. The sting of the disappointe
is more enduring sometimes than tn
gratitude of the fortunate.
