IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Bryan head
quarters are about to be opened in
New York and, no doubt the old
timers who have fallen into the habit
of supporting Bryan will make con-
siderable noise and will be able to
control some votes If the leaders
recognize the fact that is patent to
many of those who march in the
ranks, that no democrat has the ghost
of show this year. he may even get
the nomination.
: Des Moines Capital: The chaos OF
1919 has brought us together as a
nation in way that equanimity never
could have done. Out of the chaos
has come the realization that the prin-
ciples of our government are secured
in granite In the midst OF our I'M
rest citizens, though their heads may
have been in the clouds, have kept
their feet planted on solid earth.
Cedar Rapids Republican: II any
one wants to believe that the fifty
three senator's are mere politicians
and the others patriots, let them do
so. We prefer to think that the major
ity even In the senate is entitled to
some consideration.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: AS long
as Wilson could use Col. House in his
own way things ran along smoothly.
But the moment Col. House attempted
ito use Wilson the stuff was off. That,
in brief, is the story of the Wilson
House affinity affair.
Storm Lake Register: None of us is
perfect, and it would do no immense
amount of good If everyone of us
would make just one good resolution
and keep It, If there is nothing from
which we can swear Off, there is
plenty that we can resolve to do.
Des Moines Register: II we have
any luck, we may be able to lose both
Berger and Haywood from the news
columns this year.
Charter Oak Times: The man we
have always thought the biggest man
in the bunch we have thought had no
show for nomination or election to the
presidency, but the past few weeks
his stock is taking decided turn up
ward Herbert Hoover The man who
could do the work he did during and
since the war can do big things at the
white house.
