PRESIDENTS REMUNERATION
ASSURED.

It is now certain that President
Wilson will be renominated by ac-
clamation. No other name will be
presented to the convention. The
platform will endorse his administra-
ton and the record made by the dem
ocratic congress. The differences,
such as may exist, between the presi-
dent and congress, will be compro-
missed and the party will present a
united front.
1t is a remarkable record of
achievement, nothing to compare
with it in number and Importance of
reforms accomplished. Where re-
publican leaders have been wrong
the president and the democratic
congress have been right. The repub-
lican leaders have opposed all that
has been done in favor Of lower tar
if rates, an income tax, currency
reform and antitrust legislation.
They have insisted on war with MeXi-
co and even want to enter the Euro
pean war. Where the president has
conceded more than he should to the
scaredness program, the republican
leaders have demanded even more,
SO that the president is nearer to the
people than the republican leaders.
Let every democrat get ready for the
campaign and go to work.

MIR. BRYAN'S STAND.

That part Of this country which is
dominated by the progressive-repub-
lican conglomeration has been hop
ing and praying that William Jen-
nings Bryan would attempt to split
the democratic party ever since he
retired from the cabinet.
A few democrats in Nebraska have
been encouraging that hope by oppos-
ing Mr.. Bryan's candidacy for place
as delegate at large to the democrat
ic convention, upon the ground that
he would oppose the president and
create discord in the party if he be-
came a delegate.
This fact we have already mott ed;
the course of the anti-Bryan people
in Nebraska we have condemned as
a piece of political folly. And now
Mr.. Bryan issues a signed statement
in which he declares himself for Will
son and predicts a nomination by &C
clamation. He approves the record
which congress has made and be-
lieves the platform should approve
the record of the administration.
There is nothing left of the charge
in Nebraska that Mr.. Bryan will
make trouble if he goes t the con-
vention and nothing left Of the re-
publican hope that he will help them
to piece their party together.-St.
Louis Republic.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1916-04-20

Colonel will take the nomination if
he can get it.
We think he will get it. The favor
tie sons are all in the scrap heap. No
body ever took them seriously. JUS
tice Hughes might have had the NOM
nation, probably on the first ballot,
ii he had resigned from the United
States Supreme Court two months
ago and formally announced his can
didacy. He has waited until it is too
late. Roosevelt has already dealt
him out of the game.
The "old guard republicans who
professed to be for Hughes were new
er sincere. They did not want
Hughes. They hate him and distrust
him, He is not the kind OF man they
can do business with. Some OF them
may hate Roosevelt too, but they can
do business with him, and they know
that that business can always be
conducted on the standard oasis OF
5000. They never had serious
trouble with Roosevelt until he tried
to resume control of the party in
1912 without first making the neces-
sar,. ARRANGEMENTS. This time the
colonel has attended to the arrange
ments two months in advance OF the
The deal is practically
Nothing remains but
70 work out the details, and while
there will be grumbling and protest
ing from organized republicans mere
and there, they will all be shouting
for Roosevelt at Chicago, and Wall
street will be underwriting his can
didacy as it did in 1904.
The progressives are going to pc
sold out, of course, but that is what
thew are for. A distinguished south
ern clergyman wrote a book before
the civil war to prove that the negro
was created to be sold into slavery
and thereby brought under the splr-
itual influence of christianity y. That
is the status of the progressive party
in the Roosevelt scheme OF things,
and in two months the Colonel Will
be explaining to the brethren VINO
battled for the Lord at Armageddon,
that their new chains are a special
badge Of honor, like the Iron Cross,
and conferred only upon those VINO
never faltered in the fight.
At present Roosevelt, for strategic
reasons, may pretend to fear that
the republican party. is not worthy OF
him, but that is temporary disable
ity. The way for party to make
itself worthy of the Colonel is to
nominate him, and the Colonel is at
tending to that part of it himself
