Mr.. BRYAN's LOYALTY TO PREsI-
II DENT WILSON.

No man in all the country is more
loyal to President Wilson than Mr..
Bryan, and no man will continue more
loyal than Mr.. Bryan to the nations
Chief Executive. And no one has to
search for the reason why this is SO.
For sixteen years Mr.. Bryan was the
leader Of the party that elected Mr..
Wilson, and during those sixteen
years he kept the party free from the
influence Of gentlemen of high fl
nance and low politics. Mr.. Wilson
is an ideal representative Of that par
ty, and Mr.. Bryan and the men who
believe as he does are more than
satisfied with present conditions.

THE WORLD POLITICS BUG.

z From Chicago RecOrd-f1era!Q. %
Appalled, at the thought of the war
with Japan which is scheduled for
the indefinite though near future,
some statesman is reported to have
exclaimed: 81 wish we had the, Pan
ANA Canal work finished and our
Notifications completed" +.
Writing to an anxious inquirer the
editor Of magazine warns him that
there. is no nation that has policies
requiring naval support that are Sc
pregnant with big possibilities as
those, of this country, and among
these policies he puts the Monroe
doctrine.
Having touched upon These
thoughts, wishes and theories, let us
consider a few facts. If Japan made
war upon this country it would be
gin the contest with an inferior navy
A recent comparison of the annual
navy expenditures Of the two coun.
tries was: United States, $14O, 900,
900; Japan, s4s, 100000. The revenue
of the United States is more thar
three times Il hat OF Japan; it's wealth
is vastly greater than that of Japan
vastly greater than that of the mex
richest country in the world, Great
Britain; it's national debt is less thar
that Of Japan. There is now in ia
pan severe suffering from the burden
of taxation, and late dispatches from
Toxic indicate that the Japanese gov
eminent feels the necessity for prac
ticing rigorous economies.
AS to the Monroe doctrine: This
country managed to bear up well un'
der the doctrine during many years
when it had very small and inte'
rior navy. Apparently even then the
insurance was large enough for the
need. Today professed admirers OF
what is called a strong foreign poll
cy are professedly admiring the sta
bility Of various Latin-American cour'
tries, and the specter of Europe at
tempting to dominate South and Cen
trail America has disappeared forev-
er If we are to act for Europe in
Mexico it is to be noted that Mexico
has no navy worth speaking of and
that it has a long frontier exposed to
invasion by land from the United
states.
The frightful thoughts and the
yearning of the statesman, the theo-
ries of, the magazine editor, have
nothing whatever to do with the
facts. They are fully explained by the
bug of world politics. +

The Iowa people who are winter

They have from all accounts been

The complete list of candidates for
the Second district election, in the
order in which they will appear on
the ballot, is the following:
Harry S. Hull Of Williamsburg, re-

$bitionist. 4 n /. t.
Charles F. clemens Of Davenport
nonpartis an. .5.
Speaker Champ Clark opened the
campaign at Muscatine last Saturday
for Henry Vollmer, the Democratic
nominee. Y: 53
The chances are largely in favor
of Mr.. Vollmer's election, although
the friends Of Mr.. Hanley, the pro-
gressive republican, express con
fidence that their candidate will be
elected.
The Democrats have a large plu'
rality in the district, but the election
will be held next Tuesday and the
time is too short to make much OF a
campaign; and, it is just possible, tn
large number of candidates may d.
vide the vote in a surprising man
5ner.
