IOWA FOR WILSON.

Iowa gave her electoral vote Tor
Woodrow Wilson; grand and inspir-
ing thought.
The people Of Iowa were not in any
sense deceived or humhugged when
they made the state democratic.
Everybody is happy and cOntcnled;
the manufacturer, the laborer, the
storekeeper and farmer; the banker
and money man legitimately en-
ployed; everybody is praising the
most high for the deliverance OF the
people and the peoples rights into
the hands of the true servants OF the
people.
1t has always been the boasted
claim of the democratic party that
the Office holders Of the country We're
the servants and not the masters OF
the people The country is having
an opportunity Of witnessing prac-
teal demonstration of this idea. Here
in Iowa, it took only about fifteen
minutes to throw an obstreperOus or
incompetent United States Attorney
over the breastworks, and the people
are applauding the promptness, ac-
curacy. and good faith of every act
of the administration.
The California incident in closed:
honorably and happily ended. The
Japan turmoil is amicably and per-
manently adjusted and not single
dollar misspent or a single American
life sacrificed.
The Mexican situation is being
handled with consummate skill and
patriotism unexcelled in the diplo-
matte history of civilized nations The
talkative and parrot-like ambassador
Harry Lane Wilson, was speedily der
ricked and the wise and sagacious
policies of the administration will ul-
timately work out all the difficulties
of the Mexican situation.
Iowa democrats should arouse
themselves. There should be a full
and free discussion of principles and
men and a strong and progressive
platform adopted and able and con-
scientious men named for every Of
fee from governor to the humblest
office. This being done and the demo-
Gratis will sweep the state at the next
election.
The democrats of Iowa should sup
port Woodrow Wilson and his ad-
ministration.-Na Democra

E. T. Meredith, editor of farm
paper in Des Moines. is likely to be
a candidate for the nomination for
governor on the democratic ticket. So
far as we know Mr.. Meredith is
splendid fellow and we'll qualified
for governor but this is not his year.
He may be nominated and might be
elected but there is no need OF the
democrats making an uncertainty out
of a certainty ANY good democrat
outside OF Des Moines can be elected
easily, a Des Moines man is an uncer-
tainty. This is not against MIR. Mere
dith; he is creature just now OF cir
over which he has no
control. The fight is bound to be
made on the tax question and just
now the people think they are being
held up for the benefit Of Des Moines.
Mr.. Meredith ought not to be the
nominee.-Sigourney Review.

The Herald is democratic

The Herald is democratic right
enough, but right at the start we
want it understood that it is not our
mission or intention to champion the
cause of every Tom, Dick and Harry
in the state who through 1.-The earnest
solicitation OF influential friends
may see it fit to enter the arena for
this, that or t'other thing. Time
and labor and space are cash assets
to the newspaper man, and except he
be able to realize on these he must
necessarily see his accounts balanced
in red ink. On any question involv-
ing the real good of the democracy
which in the concrete means the real
good of all the people-this paper
will stick as long as the next one, but
to these interlopers who jump into
the ring for personal achievement
let it be said that the road to glory
is not paved with thank-ye-ma' ans.

Lives on Liner Risked
To Rescue Dreadnought

Although the State Department made
no formal protect, attention generally
was called today to the fact that while
the dreadnought Audacious was desert
ed and her crew left to drown by Brit
ish warships through fear of mines, the
liner Olympic, loaded with passengers
among them Americans, was sent to
the rescue.
This action, 1t was pointed out. was
in line with the rule laid down by the
British admiralty forbidding British
warships to go to the aid Of vessels
when struck by mines or torpedoes. AS
the Olympic was placed under the au-
thority of the British admiralty at the
declaration of war. it action in going
to the rescue Of the Audacious cannot
be questioned.
Despite the risk taken by the Olympic
when the British warships had stayed
at a safe distance. from the sinking
dreadnought. it is improbable that any
notice will be taken by the State De-
partment.

A cable from London today. however,
indicates that this may be mistaken
version of the disaster to the dread
nought.
The cable as received here merely
said: Best Information repairing"
The message also Indicated there had
been but one fatality.
Bandmaster Beams told his story only
after II had been impressed upon him
that the main facts Of the accident to
the Audacious were known in this city.
British authorities. as had all members
Of the Olympic's crew.
A surgeon of the liner Baltic. who had
been transferred from the olympic de-
MED late Saturday that the Olympic
had seen or heard of the Audacious on
the trip to Belfast, upon which the
rescue of the ,dreadnought's crew was
made.
Beams said that the Audacious was
sighted October q off the Irish coast
quarter deck. The cruiser Liverpool
was nearby and had circIed ahead to
make sure there were no other mines
in the vicinity. Fourteen Hfeboats were
swung over from the Olympic. A heavy
sea was running, and a boat was seen
1t capsized almost i'm
mediately. Four men were picked up
by one of the Oiympic's boats. The fifth
man, a petty officer. was drowned, ac-
cording to Beams.
1T required a half-hour for the boats
to reach the Audacious, owing to the
rough sea-" said Beams. The Olym-
pics boats brought $50 men to our ship"
Beams then told Of the ineffectual ef-
forts to tow the Audacious and of the
breaking
Beams said that member of the Au-
dacious' crew told him that when first
hit, they believed the battleship had
been torpedoed. 1t was discovered, how
.,rer, that the dreadnought had hit a
mime laid by German vessel which
had been in that vicinity flying the
flag.
Hugh Griffiths, musician on the
Olympic, was authority for the state
ment that the Audacious had been blown
UP. He said he was on deck about 8
o'clock, when there was a loud cxpio-
sion and bright glare lighted the sea.
Later, he said, men who were brought
on. board said the Audacious had been
blown UP, following wireless instruc-
tions received from the admiralty.
Grffffths said these men were brought to
the Olympic about midnight. No other
story, however. has mentioned sur
vivors being brought to- the olympic
after she left the scene and apparently
no one on the Olympic actually saw the
Audacious sink. All stories have agreed,
however, that there was IN explosion
