FRANCIS MARION DRAKF.

x B Y W. I I . B^LEMTSTG.

Francis Marion Drake, governor of the State 1896-1898, departed this lifeNovember 20, 1903, in the seventy-third year of his age. Thus closed theearthly career of a worthy man, one of Iowa's most notable philanthropists.

Governor Drake was descended from James Drake, who went from thecolony of Virginia to that of North Carolina in the eighteenth century. Sev-eral of the family have been notable characters in the history of Nash county,North Carolina, in both colony and State, as they were also in the war of theRevolution. James Drake's son Benjamin married Celia Thayer. Their son,John Adams, born in 1802, married Harriet J. O'Neil, and after a briof resi-dence in Tennessee, removed to Illinois, where, in Sehuyler county, theirsecond son, Francis Marion, was born December 30,18H0. In 1837, Mr. John Drakemoved with hi-family across the Mississippi river into Lee county, then Wis-consin territory, and settled at Fort Madison, then recently laid out. HereMr. Drake, besides enjoying a successful busine-s career, was justice of thepeace, and also probate judge. In 1846, he removed with his family to Daviscounty, territory of Iowa, where he founded the town of Drakesville Hereyoung Francis attended district school as he had at Fort Madison. He was sub-sequently in his father's employ until 1852, when with a train of two wagons(each drawn by eight oxen), and accompanied by five men and a boy, he tookthe overland route to California. On the way the party, reinforced by anothertrain, had an encounter with a large party of Indians. After a desperate bat-tle, the Indians were driven off, their leader being among the slain. Securinga ranch in the golden State, young Drake returned to Iowa the next year. In1864, he again crossed the plains, taking with him a hundred milch cows, reach-ing his destination with a loss of only time. Returning by sea, he was on thesteamer Yankee Blade, which was wrecked off the coast of Mexico, when sev-eral hundred lives were lost. He succeeded in making his escape, helping anumber of others to get ashore. Here thoy remained until rescued by asteamer and taken back to San Frunew-o; whence Mr. Drake took passage onanother vessel for home. Ho then went into business with his father andbrother at Drakesville. Subsequently he engaged in businesss on his ownaccount. In 1839, leaving the management of his affairs to his partner, heremoved to Unionvilh, Appanoose county, where, following mercantile pur-suits, he became also a live stock dealer and pork packer.

When the civil war began, he. commanded an independent force that wentto the relief of a Missouri regiment near Memphis, Mo. During the same year,when Colonel Cranor, commanding a body of Missouri Union troop?, was driveninto Iowa, a Union command that had hastily been gotten together, known as"Colonel Edwards's Independent Iowa Regiment," in which Captain Drakeserved as major, marched into Missouri, and soon relieved that part of theState from the presenpe of the- enemy, Major Drake himself attacking a force

at Albany. Being placed in command at St. Joseph, Mo., he was there whenPrice, after the capture of Lexington, went westward, threatening St. Joseph.Anticipating the arrival of the southern commander, Major Drake attacked hisadvance so vigorously that the enemy were led 10 think that there was a largeforce at St. Joseph, a rumor having previously reached their lines that tenregiments had bi en sent to that point. The enemy then retired beyond theMissouri.

In 1862, when the Thirty-sixth Iowa infantry volunteers was formed, MajorDrake was made its lieutenant colonel, a position he held until the regimentwas mustered out, a large part of the time being in command of it.

In the campaign in Arkansas in 1864, when General Steele undertook torender assistance to Ger eral Banks, operating in Louisiana, Colonel Drake tookan active and prominent part. At Elkin's Ford, on the Liftle Missouri river,with a detachment of 500 men from his own regiment, the First Iowa Cavalry,and an Indiana regiment, with a couple of pieces of cannon, he held the Fordagainst a force numbering in the thousands under Marmaduke. The fightlasted from about daylight until near noon, when the enemy retired. In'_thesame month. Colonel Drake, in command of a brigade of 1,500 men, encounteredGeneral Fagan, commanding a superior force, at Mark's Mills. Althoughoverwhelmed, the Union forces did some desperate though ineffectual fighting.In this battle Colonel Drake was severely wounded in the left thigh, slightlyfracturing tho thighbone, pieces of the ball being taken from different parts ofthe body, and one piece never being gotten out. The enemy, finding ColonelDrake on the field, and supposing him to be mortally wounded, did not makehim prisoner. It was six months before he was again fit for duty. When hedid return to his regiment, it was on crutches. Soon afterwmds he was bre-veted brigadier general; and in 1865, the first brigade, second divi>ion, seven harmy corps, was placed under him. He was mustered out of the service i.iSeptember, 1865.

Returning home, General Drake was admitted to the bar. Success attendedhim here as elsewhere, and although he remained in the practice haTdly half adozen years, he attained considerable reputation, especially as a criminal law-yer. In the early'70's, he turned his attention to railroading. He was themoving spirit in the Missouri, Iowa & Nebraska railroad, (later the Keokuk &Western), until it was constructed to Humes ton. The Albia & Centerville isanother project of his; and he was th_' contractor in the construction of one ortwo branches of the Iowa Central. The Indiana, Illinois & Iowa railroai isanother bold enterprise which he conceiv« d, and of which he constructed over150 miles, and he was its president until he disposed of his interest in it a fewyears ago. He was also president of the A. & C. R. It, and of the CentervilleNational Bank until his death, that city having been his home since the war.

In 1895 he was elected Governor of the State, being inaugurated in January,1806. He discharged the duties of that office with the fearlessness and indt1-pendence ever characteristic of tho man. A severe injury which GovernorDrake sustained in tho summer of 1897 caused him to decline re-election to theoffice.

Aftur his retirement he. continued to manifest an active interest in the Uni-versity at Dos Moines that bears his ram»\ and of which ho was the principalfounder; freely «ivintf of hh liberal fortune for its strengthening and upbuild-ing. Governor Drake was also u generous contributor to other institutions oflearning; while the oauae of religion ever found in him a munificent supporter,ohurohes all over the State, espeoially those of the ' •Disciples of Christ," withwhich he wan identified, experiencing the benefits of his generosity,

Governor Drake was married in 1865 to Mary June Lord, but she precededher husband in death more than twenty years. Six of their children sur\ ivntheir father, to experience the consolation that the State, tin- church, and the.cause of education unite with them In revering the memory of their honoredparent.

This sketch may very properly close with an extract from Governor Drake'smessage to tha general assembly as he retired from office, indicating as it doeshis enthusiastic love for Iowa.

1 ' Confident I am that all the interests of the State are safe in your hands.. . . . Those interests are all very dear to me. Here has been my onlyhome from early childhood, since before the time that there was an A Iowa' onthe map. I have seen all its growth and participated in it; its handful ofpeople grown into millions; its vast stretch of bleak and forbidding prairiemade the most productive fields on earth; and the embryo commonwealthbecome the tenth State in the Union in point of population, foremost in agricul-tural productions, and in the van of educational effort. Here, too, when I layaside the burden of earth-life, I intend my mortal remains shall rest. In therecord of Iowa as the home of one of the most enlightended bodies of people onearth; as the land whence went forth at the country's call myriads of men tosave that country to themselves and their posterity, of whom I am thankful Iwas permitted to be one; and in all her luminous past I rejoice. In her futureof glowing promise I have an abiding trust. "

IOWA.IOWA IN HISTORY.

CLAIMED BY ENGLAND, FRANCE AND SPAIN. The territorynow included in the State of Iowa was, prior to 1762, claimed by three differentforeign countries, Spain, England and France. Spain based her claim to titleon the discovery of North America by Oolumbus in 1492, and on a grant fromPope Alexander VI., made in 1493 to Ferdinand and Isabella, King and Queen ofAragon and Castile, of all the continents, inhabited by infidels, which they haddiscovered, said grant being assigned to their heirs and successors, the kings ofCastile and Leon. By the partition agreed upon by Spain and Portugal, Spainwas allotted all of'North America. England claimed title through the discov-ery of America in 1498, by John Cabot who, together with his sons, had beengranted a patent of discovery, possession and trade by Henry VII., King ofEngland. The claim of France was based on the actual discovery of Iowa Ter-ritory by Jaques Marquette and Louis Joliet, in June, 1673, and upon the dis-coveries made by Robert La Salle, in 1632, who had been granted a patent byLouis XIV., in 1678, pe: mittinghim to explore the western part of New France.La Salle descended the Illinois and Mississippi rivers, explored the shores of theGulf of Mexico to the westward, and on the ninth of April, 1682, proclaimed theriver and all the lands drained by it to be by right of discovery the dominions ofLouis XIV., King of France, and he named the country Louisiana In honor ofhis King.

DECLARED FRENCH TERRITORY. The ownership of the territoryof Louisiana was not definitely settled by the three claimants until 1763. In1762 a preliminary treaty, known as the Act of Fontainbleau, was signedbetween England, France and Spain, by which it was agreed that the boundarybetween the provinces of England and France should be irrevocably fixed by aline drawn in the middle of the Mississippi river from its source to the Iber-ville, etc., the French .possessions lying we t and the English possessions lyingeast of this line. By this treaty Iowa was definitely placed in the Loui-ianaProvince, and all rights of claimants through charters and grants made by theKings of England in the seventeenth century were terminated. The Treaty ofParis, which was signed by the three countries in the following year, confirmedthe boundaries agreed upon in the preliminary treaty.

CESSION TO SPAIN AND RETROCESSION TO FRANCE.Louis XV., King of France, secretly ceded to Spain, in 1762, all the French pos-pessions lying beyond the Mississippi river. Spain took formal possession ofThe province of Louisiana in 1769 and retained control of this vast territoryuntil 1800, when the treaty of St. Idlefonso was concluded, Spain agreeing torecede the province of Louisiana to France upon the fulfillment of certain con-siderations to be performed by the French republic. This treaty was succeededIn the following year by the treaty of Madrid, which provided that the retro

cession of Louisiana, an agreed upon In the treaty of St. Idlefonso, should biearried out.

PURCHASED BY T H E UWITED STATES. In ]8(W, f or a considera-tion of ?lf), OJU.UOU, France relinquished to the United States all her right andtitle to tlio territory lyiiiK wast of the Mississippi river and north and east ofthe Spanish possession*. This transaction is known as the '' Louisiana Pur-chase. " The United States tlius acquired possession of a vast domain, out ofwhich there have been formed the States of Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Ne-braska, North and South Dakota, all of Indian Territory, the major parts ofthe States of Louisiana, Minnesota, Kansas, Montana and Wyoming, nearlyall of Oklahoma Territory and a large portion of the State of Colorado

I N C L U D E D I N DISTRICT OF L O U I S I A N A A N D TERRITORYOF LOUISIANA. The first act of Congress providing for the governmentof the territory acquired wa9 approved October 31, 1803, and provided that allmilitary, judicial and civil powers should be ''vested in such persons andexercised in such manner as the President of the United States shall direct."This was followed in 1804 by an act dividing the territory, the part lying southof the thirty-third parallel forming the territory of Orleans and the part lyingto the north forming the District of Louisiana. The latter territory was placedunder the control of the Governor and the judges of the Indiana Territory.. Ayear later Oongresn established a territorial government in the District ofLouisiana and changed the name to the Territory of Louisiana. The executiveand judicial powers were vested in a Governor and three judges, to be appointedby the President of the United States, with the consent of the Senate.

' I N C L U D E D I N TERRITORY OF MISSOURI. In 1812 the nameof the Territory was changed to the Territory of Missouri and an additionaldepartment of government established, the legislative department. Thisdepartment consisted of a Council, composed of nine members, appointed bythe President for terms of five years, and a House of Representatives, com-posed of one representative for every five hundred free white male inhabitants,to be elected for terms of two years by the votes of free white male taxpayingcitizens. Absolute vetoing power was vested in the Governor. Another concession was granted by Congress in 1816, the people being permitted to electthe menbers of the Council.

I N C L U D E D I N MICHIGAN TERRITORY. In 1821 the boundariesof Missouri were denned and Missouri admitted into the Union as a State, Theremaining portion of the Territory, of which the present States of Wisconsin,Iowa and Minnesota were a part, was left without any form of government.It remained in this state of orphanage until 1834 when the boundaries of Michigan Territory were extended west to the Missouri river.

I N H A B I T E D BY I N D I A N S — E A R L Y PIONEERS. These variouschanges of jurisdiction are enumerated as n matter of history only, 6imply toshow the chain of title and the character of government established by Congress.The changes had no effect on the territory now embraced in the 8tate of Iowaprior to 1888, because of the fact that previous to that date the Territory wasin the possession of the Indians and there wore no white settlements. The onlywhite pioneers known to have resided in the Territory were Julien Dubuque, aFrench-Canadian trader, who with a few followers settled at a point near thepresent city of Dubuque in 1788 and dwelt there among the Indians until hiadeath In 1810; B;nll Glrard, a French trader, who was granted a tract of land

Iowa Official Register. xiii

situated in the limits of the present county of Clayton in 1705 by the SpanishLieutenant Governor of upper Louisiana and lived thereon from 1795 until sometime in the early part of the nineteenth century; and Louis Honori, who wasgranted a tract by the Spanish Lieutenant Governor near the present town ofMontrose, Lee county, in 1799 and resided there until 1803.

ATTEMPTS TO ESTABLISH FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITHTHE INDIANS. The United States, shortly after acquit ing Louisiana fromFrance, made many attempts through army officers and Indian commissionersto establish friendly relations with the Indians inhabiting thi3 territory. Manycouncils were held and treaties made, but the resume here given is only ofthose which related directly to Iowa. The principal Indian tribes of Iowa andthose which figured most prominently in the Indian history of Iowa were theSacs, Foxes, Winnebagoe3, Sioux, Pottawattamies and Iowas.

LEWIS AND CLARKE EXPEDITION. In 1804 Captains Lewis andClarke, whue on their famous exploring expedition to the Pacific coast, held anotable council with the Indians where Council Bluffs is now situated, the pur-pose being to inform the Indians of the new government and to establishpeaceful relations with them. While in Iowa, one of their men, SergeantCharles Floyd, died and was buried on the bluff of the Missouri river, nowknown as Floyd's Bluff, near Sioux City.

TREATY OF 1804. On November 3, 1804, a treaty was concluded be-tween William H. Harrison, Governor of the District of Louisiana, and fivechiefs of the Sac and Fox Indians by which they conveyed to theUnited State3 practically all of their land east of the Mississippiriver, the United States agreeing to allow the Indians to occupyand hunt on the lands which they conveyed so long as such landsremained the property of the United States, and "never again tointerrupt them in the possession of the lands they rightfully claimed, but, onthe contrary, to protect them in the quiet enjoyment of the same against theirown citizens, and against all other white persons who may intrude upon them "This treaty was not popular with the Indians. They looked upon the advanceof civilization with dread as they were forced away from their hunting groundsand villages as fa-t as white settlements were made. They realized that thelands they had conveyed would soon be seti led and they would be forced to seeknew territory. In 1803 a military post was established at Fort Madison onIndian lands. This was in violation of the covenants made in the treaty of1804, and still further inflamed the passions of an already discontented people.They immediately annulled the treaty and a large number gave active aid to theEnglish in the war of 1812. In 1812 and 1813 they made several attacks on FortMadison and finally forced its garrison to destroy and abandon it.

TREATIES OF PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP—HALF BREEDTRACT. On September 13, 1815, a treaty of peace and amity was concludedwith the Sac Indians and the treaty of 1804 was reaffirmed.1 A like treaty wasconcluded with the Fox Indians September 14, 1815. Treaties of peace andfriendship were also concluded with the Sioux Indians, July 19, 1815, and withthe Iowas, September 16, 1815. August 4, 1824, another treaty was concludedwith the Sac and Fox tribea by whioh the Indians relinquished to the UnitedStates all their territory in the State of Missouri and a traot in southeasternIowa between the Mississippi and Dea Mcinea rivers south of a line drawn fromthe point where the Missouri state line touches the Des Moines river due oastto the Mlaajaaippi riyer, TWa traot was koowo as the ' 'liatf Breed TrftQt, '•

INDIAN BOUNDARY LINE. August 19, 1825, a treaty waa con-cluded by the Indian commissioners, Clark and Cass, with several tribes, Sacs,Foxes, Pottawattamies, Winnebagoes, Sioux and others fixing the boundarylines of the lands belonging to the various tribes. The only boundary line ofImportance established in Iowa by this treaty was the one dividing the posses-sions of the Sioux from the Sac and Pox Indians. The lands of the Sioux wereto the north and the lands of the Sac and Fox to the south of the line describedas follows: • 'Commencing at the mouth of the upper Iowa river on the westbank of the Mississippi river and ascending the said Iowa river, to its left fork;thence up that fork to its source; thence crossing the fork of the Red Cedarriver, in a direct line to the second or upper fork of the Des Moines river; andthence in a direct line to the lower fork of the Calumet river and down thatriver to its juncture with the Missouri river." This is known as the Clarkand Cass boundary line.

CESSION OF MISSOURI SLOPE AND NEUTRAL GROUND.A treaty was concluded with the Sacs and Foxes, Sioux, Omahas, Iowas,Ottoes, Missourias, July 15, 1830, by which these tribes ceded and relinquishedto the United States a large portion of the Missouri slope of Iowa describedas follows: ' •Beginning at the upper fork of the Des Moines river and passingthe sources of the Little Sioux and Floyd rivers to the fork of the first creekwhich falls into tho Big Sioux or Calumet on the East Side; thence down saidcreek and Calumet river to the Missouri river; thence down the said Missouririver to the Missouri state line above the Kansas; thence along said line to thenorthwest corner of said state; tnence to the highlands between the waterafalling into the Missouri and Des Moines, passing on said high land along thedividing ridge between tho forks of the Grand river; thence along said high-land or ridge separating the waters of the Missouri from those of the Des Moinesto a point opposite the source of the Boyer river; and thence in a direct line tothe upper fork of the Des Moines, the place of beginning." In this same treatythe Sao and Fox tribes ceded to the United States a tract of country twenty milesin width from the Mississippi to the De3 Moines river situated south and adjoin-ing the Clark and Cass boundary line between the lands of the Sac and Foxand Sioux Indians. The Sioux ceded a like strip twenty miles wide on the northside of said boundary line. This tract forty mile3 in width and about onehundred and fifty miles in length is known a<5 the ' ' Neutral Ground."

BLACK HAWK WAR-BLACK HAWK PURCHASE-KEOKUK'SRESERVE. In 1832 there occurred a war with the Indians known as theBla-lt Hawk war. Black Hawk was a Sac chief and the leader of the Sac andFox Indians who refused to move from the ceded territory in Illinois. In 1831they were practically forced to move across the river by the command of a largeforce of United States troopg and the State militia. rlhe following spring,their numbers having been swelled by volunteers from several tribes in Iowa,they recrossed the Mississippi river with Black Hawk in command, and therefollowed a brief but sanguinary war which lasted until the late summer. Thecapture of Black Hawk ended the war. The war was followed by a treaty,"concluded September 15, 1832, with the Winnebago Indians, who hadassisted Bliick Hawk in this struggle, by which they ceded all their lands onthe easl side of the Mississippi rivor in exhanpe for the ' 'Neutral Ground " inIowa; and on September 21, 1832, by a treaty with the Sac and Fox Indians bywhich they relinquished that portion of Iowa known as the "Black HawkPixr-ehftsc," containing six million acres of land and lying immediately west of the

Iowa Official Register. xv

Mississippi river, between the "Neutral Ground " on the north and the Mis-souri State line on the south. Four hundred square miles ou tho Iowa riverwere reserved out of this purchase for the use of thu Sao and Fox Indians,which included Keokuk's village on its right bank. This was known as ' ' Keo-kuk's Reserve." While this was not the first concession of territory in Iowaby the Indians, it was the first which opened any portion of the territory forsettlement by the whites. *

FINAL RELINGIUISHMENTS OF IOWA TERRITORY BYINDIANS. September 28, 1836, the Stic and Fox tribes ceded "Keokuk'sReserve" to the United States. Again on October, 21, 1837, the same tribesceded a tract of one million two hundred and fifty thousand acres of land lyingimmediately west of the Black Hawk Purchase, between the "NeutralGround" and the Missouri State line. At the same time they relinquished allrights to the country lying south of the Clark and Oass boundary line betweenthe Mississippi and Missouri rivers.' And on October 11, 1842, they ceded alltheir title to lands west of the Mississippi river. The Winnebagoes on October16, 1846, ceded the "Neutral Ground " in Iowa to the United States in exchangefor a tract north of St. Peters river on the upper Mississippi. The SiouxIndians for many years claimed all of Iowa north of these concessions, but in1851 a treaty was concluded with them by which they relinquished to theUnited States their title to all lands within the State of Iowa.

SPIRIT LAKE MASSACRE. Even after ceding all their Iowa land inthe treaty of 1851, the Sioux were loath to leave northern Iowa. For several yearsthey hunted and fished in the vicinity of the northern Iowa lakes and were con-tinually having trouble with the white settlers. These difficulties finally ter-minated in the massacre which has become known as the ' ' Spirit Lake Mas-oacre." On the morning of March 8, 1857, a band of fifty Idiais entered thewhite settlement on the south shores of Lake Okoboji. Feigning at first thesemblance of friendship, the? suddenly, as if by a concerted agreement, com-menced an indiscriminate slaughter. From this point they went northward tothe south shore of Spirit Lake, killing the settlers who had located betweenthese points. They remained in the vicinity of Spirit Lake several days whenthey crossed over to the little settlement of Springfield (now Jackson), Min-nesota. At this point they slaughtered several more settlers. At the Lakesand at Springfield fifty-three persons are believed to have been killed.

FIRST PERMANENT WHITE SETTLEMENTS. No pormanentwhite settlements were made in Iowa until after the close of the Black Hawkwar. Shortly after the treaty was concluded white settlers flocked across theMississippi river into Iowa territory. The first white settlements fringed theMississippi river in southeastern Iowa, the settlers coming from Illinois andother middle States. Following the year 18:tt the settlers poured in bythousands. Allured by the reported beauty and fertility -of Iowa they <-amefrom all parts of the Union, ' 'coming from New York and New England bythe way of Erie canal and the great lakes, and from Illinois and Ohio, Ken-tucky, North Carolina, Missouri and other States by way of the rivers. " Theeastern part of the present State all along the Mississippi river almost to thenorthern limit was comparatively thickly settled in 1835 and the tide of settle-ment from then on crept westward and northward along the Des Moines, Iowa,Cedar and other rivers.

WITHOUT GOVERNMENT - DEMOINE AND DUBUQUECOUNTIES CREATED. For more than a year after the white settlers

rvi Iowa Official Register.

oommenoed to flock into the territory there was no established government Inforce. Lawlessness prevailed to a great extent and it was in response to thedemands mode by the better element of the settlers that Congress extended theboundaries of Miohigan territory west to the Missouri river and north ofthe Missouri State line. Shortly after the boundaries of Michigan territorywere thus extended the legislative council of the territory passed an act cre-ating the counties of Demoine and Dubuque out of the new acquisition,Dubuque county embracing all of the territory north of a line drawn due westfrom the lower end of Rock Island to the Missouri river, and constituting thetownship of Julien; and Demoine county including all the territory south ofthis line and constituting the township of Flint Hill. The same act establisheda county court in each county.

INCLUDED IN WISCONSIN TERRITORY. In 1838, WisconsinTerritory was organized and the counties of Demoine and Dubuque made apart thereof. The act of Congress creating the territory established a legisla-ture consisting of a Council ard a House of Representatives, the membersthereof to be elected by popular vote and gave all free white, male citizens theright to vote without regard to property qualifications. "Thus for the firsttime was the prerequisite of taxpaying omitted from the qualifications of votersin this territory. Hence also the first time the people of this territory electedtheir lawmakers a property qualification to vote was not required. In no partof the country east of the western line of the State of Iowa, except in Iowa andMinnesota has it been true that the peoDle have always exercised the right ofsuffrage without the prepayment of some sort of tax. " The first session of theLegislature of Wisconsin Territory was held at Belmont, Iowa county (nowLafayette county), Wisconsin, commencing October 25th, and ending Decem-ber 9, 1838. This legislative assembly passed an act making Madison, Wiscon-sin the permanent capital, and providing for the meeting of the assembly inBurlington, Demoine county, thereafter until the capital at Madison was com-pleted. The second session was held in Burlington, Demoine county, fromNovember 6, 1837, to January 20, 1838, in a common two-story frame housewhich had been constructed for the purpose. This building was destroyed byfire during the winter and the legislature met during the remainder of the ses-sion In OldZion Methodist Church. An extra session was held at Burlington inJune, 1838.

COUNTIES. Twenty-two counties were created by the legislativeassembly of the Territory of Wisconsin, out of Demoine and Dubuque counties,as follows: Des Moines, Cook (extinct), Henry, Lee, Louisa, MuFcatine, andVan Buren by act approved December 7, 1836;Benton, Buchanan, Cedar, Clay-ton, Clinton, Delaware, Dubuque, Fayette, Jacksoi, Johnson, Jones, Keokuk(extinct), Linn and Scott by act approved December 21, 1837, and Slaughter(changed to Washington by aot approved January 25, 1839) by act approvedJanuary 18, 1838.

IOWA TERRITORY. Congress by an aot approved June 12, 1888,divided the Wisconsin Territory and gave that portion thereof west of the Mis-sissippi river a separate territorial government under the name of Iowa Terri-tory. The now government was established July 3, 1888. Robert Lucas ofOhio and William B Oonwny of Pennsylvania were, respectively appointedGovernor and Seoretary by President Van Buren. The act creating the terri-tory provided that the legislative power should be vested in the Governor and alegislative assembly, the latter to consist of a Counoil composed of thirteenmtmbarp %nd » Qouee of Represent* tjves cpmpoeed of twenty-iix

Annual sessions were to be held and the Governor had the power of absoluteveto. The members of the Council and House of Representatives were to beelected by the people In districts apportioned by the Governor. The act alsoappropriated twenty thousand dollars for the erection of public buildings forthe use of the new territorial government.

OFFICERS-LOCATION OF CAPTITAL AT IOWA CITY. Thefirst Territorial eleotion was held September 10, 1838. At this election W. W.Chapman was chosen to represent the Territory as a delegate in Congress. Thefirst Legislative Assembly met at Burlington, November 12, 1838, and adjournedJanuary 25, 1839. Jesse B. Browns^ of Lee county, was elected President ofthe Council and B F. Wallace secretary, and William H. Wallace, of Henrycounty, was elected Speaker of the House and Joseph T. Fales chief clerk.This territorial legislature passed an act, approved January 21, 1839, appointing acommission to seleot a site within the limits of Johnson county for the permanentseat of government. This commission selected the location and laid out a townto be called Iowa City. A plan for the new capitol building was adopted, thecost not to exceed $51,000, and the work of construction commenced. Theremoval from Bui liagton to Iowa City took place April 80, 1841. This buildingwas finally completed about 1854, and cost in all about $123,000.

MISSOURI-IOWA BOUNDARY DISPUTE. In 1838 there arose adispute between the State of Missouri and the Iowa Territory over the questionof the true location of the north boundary line of Missouri. This dispute camenear terminating in a civil war. The militia and volunteers were called out byboth Governors and active preparations for open hostilities commenced. Wisercounsel finally prevailed and the matter was left to the courts to adjudicate.The Supreme Court of the United States settled the question finally and thiaadjustment was largely favorable to the claims of Iowa.

POWER OF VETO CURTAILED. In 1839 Congress granted anotherconcession to the people of the Territory by amending the Organic Law so asto allow two thirds of both houses of the legislative assembly to pass a bill overthe Governor's veto.

PROPOSITIONS TO HOLD CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN-TIONS-ASSEMBLY CONVENES IN IOWA CITY. Tbe Second Ter-ritorial Legislature which convened at Burlington in extra session, July 18,1840, passed an act providing for the holding of an election for the purpose ofvoting upon the question of calling a convention to formulate a constitution.At the election which followed the proposition was voted down. The ThirdTerritorial convention convened at Iowa City, the new capital, December 5,1841. A temporary frame building had been constructed which was used bythe Third and Foar th Territorial Assemblies. The Fourth Territorial Legisla-ture, which convened February 16,1842, passed a similar act, relative to holdinga constitutional convention and the proposition waa again voted down at theelection held August 1, 1842, the vote standing 4,146 for and 6,868 against theconvention The Fifth Territorial Legislature, which convened at Iowa CityDecember 5, 1842, occupied the new capitol building, although it was still in anunfinished conditioD.

decision of the people was In favor of holding the constitutional convention,the vote being 7,221 for and 4,3)3 against the convention. The delegates to theconvention were elected at the general election in 1844. The convention metOctober 7th, drafted a constitution, and adjourned November 1, 1844. Theboundaries proj o-ed in this constitution included a large part of the presentState of Minnesota, and excluded a tract embracing all of the present countiesof Lyon, Osceola and Sioux, and par! s of Dickinson, O'Brien, Plymouth andWoodbury. Congrtss, by act of March 8, 1845, relating to the admission QfIowa, proposed boundaries cutting off all of the Missouri slope, being almostidentical with the line between the present counties of Carroll and Greene, andalso curtailing the northern limits. In April, 1845, the people rejected the pro-posed constitution, largely on account of the boundaries proposed by Congresswhich had been incorporated therein The seventh Territorial Legislature,which convened in Mny, 1845, passed an act, over the Governor's veto, to re-submit the proposed constitution as it originally came from the hajds of theconvention. It was again defeated at the elec ion in August, 1845.

SECOND CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION — CONSTITU-TION ADOPTED, ihe eighth Territorial Legislature passed an act ap-prove d January J7, 1846, providing directly for the election of delegates to asecond constitutional convention, the election to take place in April, 1846. Thedelegates elected met at Iowa City in convention the 4th day of May, 1846,formulate J a constitution with boundaries identical with those of today, whichhad in the meantime been proposed by a bill then pending in Congress. Thisconstitution was adopted by the people August 3, 1846, the vote being 9,492 forand 9,036 against its adoption.

COUNTIES. Twenty-five counties were created by the Legislative As-sembly of Iowa Territory, as follows: Jefferson, by act approved January 21,1839; Appanoo^e, Black Hawk, Davis, Iowa, Keokuk, Kishkekosh (changed toMonroe by act approved August 1, 1846), Mahaska, Poweshiek, Tama andWapello by act approved February 17, 1843: Madison (extinct) by act approvedFebruary 15, 1844; Marion by act approved June 10, 1845; Boone, Clarke, Dallas,Decatur, Jasper, Lucas, Madison, Marshall, Polk, Story, Warren and Wayneby act approved January 13, 1846.

The First General Assemblyof the State of Iowa, which convened in Iowa City, November 30, 1S46, passedan act, approved January 16, 1847, accepting the proposition of Congress forthe admission of Iowa.

RELOCATION OF THE CAPITAL. The demand for a more centrallocation for the capital, duo to the rapid growth and development of the cen-tral and western portions of the State, resulted in the passage of an act nearthe close of tho ses ion of t ho First Genei al Assembly, pi oviding for such relo-cation. The act also provided for the appointment of three commis-ionerf,

authorize*} them to select the location, survey and plat into town lota and sellcertain numbers of the lots, and make a fall and complete report to the Gover-nor. The commissioners appointed under this act selected Monroe City, inJasper county, as the location, and the first f ale of lots was made. This selec-tion was unpopular, and the Second General Assembly passed an act, approvedJanuary 15, 1849, terminating the functions of the commitioners, declaringMonroe City vacated, and providing for the refunding of tho money receivedfrom the sale of the lots. During the session of the Third General Assembly.tills were introduced providing for removal to Pella, Fort Des Moines andother centrally located points, but failed of passage. Again during the sessionof the Fourth General Assembly a bill providing for tho removal of the capitalto Fort Des Moines was introduced and was barely defeated on the final vote.The Fifth General Assembly, which convened in Iowa City December 4, 1854,passed an act providing for relocating the capitol "within two miles of theRaccoon forks of the Des Moines river, " ami authorized the appointment of acommission to select the site. After the commission had selected the site acompany of private individuals erected the building necessary for a capitol,(which was finally purchased by the State in 1804). Upon the completion of thebuilding in 1857, Governor Grimes issued a proclamation, dated October 19,1857, declaring Des Moines to be the capital of the S^ate. The complete removalof office fixtures and records was not effected until i i Decembor, when the lastload of material, "dra.vn by oxen upon a bobsled through wind, rain andsnow, " arrived at the capitol.

THIRD CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION-CONSTITUTIONADOPTED. The question of revising or amending the Constitution of Iowawas agitated in 1834, and the Fifth General Assembly passed an act, approvedJanuary 24,1855, providing for the submission at the general election in August,1856, of the proposition of holding a convention to revise or amend the Consti-tution. The act also provided for the holding of another election in Novem-ber, 1856, for the purpose of selecting delegates to said convention should amajority of the votes be in favor of the proposition. The proposition carriedat the election and delegates were chosen at the second election. The thirdconstitutional convention convened at Iowa City, January 19, 1857, formulatedthe Constitution under which the State of Iowa now operates, and adjournedMarch 5, 1857. The Constitution adopted by the convention was ratified by thepeople at an election held August 3, 1857, the vote being 40,311 for and 80,681against the Constitu ion, and took effect on the issuance of the proclamationof the Governor, September 3, 1857.

COUNTIES. The general assembly of the State of Iowa has created inall fifty-six counties out of the territory included in some of the countiescreated by the legislative assembly of Wisconsin territory and Iowa territory,as follows: Allamakee and Winneshiok by the act approved February 20, 1847;Fremont, Page, Pottawattamie, Ringgold and Taylor, by the acts approved Feb-ruary 24, 1847; Adair, Adams, Audubon, Bancroft (extinct), Bremer, BuenaVista, Buncombe (changed by a later a^t to Lyon), Butler, Carroll,Cass, OerroGordo, Cherokee, Chickasavv, Clay, Crawford, Dickinson, Emmet, Floyd, Fox(changed by a later act to Calhoun), Franklin, Greene, (irundy, Guthrio,Hancock, Hardin, Harrison, Howard, Humbolt (changed by a later act toHumboldt), Ida, Kossutb, Mills, Mitchell, Mononn, Montgomery, O'BrienOsceola, Palo Alto, Plymouth, Pocahontas, Riscly (changed ly later acts firstto Webster then to Hamilton), Sao, Shelby, Sioux, Union, Wahkaw (changed

IOWA IN THE CIVIL WAR. Let it bo said that in the war for the •preservation of the Union, no State in proportion to population surpassed Iowain upholding the stars and stripes and suppressing the Rebellion. Her popula-tion in 1860 was less than 700,000, and yet she furnished nearly 80,000 volun-teers. Her forty-seven regiments of infantry, nine of cavalry ani four bat-teries of artillery moved with no uncertain tread on a hundred battlefields andearned victory. The renown and valor of this army of loyal, patriotic men,will live forever in the hearts of our people and their heroic deeds will occupythe highest niche in Iowa's temple of fame.

NEW CAPITOL. As the State grew in population and wealth, theincapacity of the old capitol building, which had been erected as a temporarystructure only, became more and more apparent. The offices became more andmore crowded as the years passed by and the legislative halls became more andmore meager. Accordingly the Twelfth General Assembly passed an actapproved April 6, 1868, providing for the securing of ' * plans and specificationsfor a State capitol, to be erected on the Capitol Square, at the capital of theState, to be built of the most fit and durable material and to be constructedfire-proof. " This was followed in 1870 by the passage of an act, approved April18, 1870, providing for the appointment of a board of Capitol Commissionersand making an appropriation for a beginning. Immediately after the organi-zation of the board, the work of oonstructon was pushed with vigor. On Thurs-day, November 23, 1871, the corner stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies.The Capitol Commission was reorganized in 187? under the provisions of the actof the general assembly, approved April 10, 1872, and the commissioners thenappointed continued in office with one exception until their terms of office ex-pired June 80,1886, by provision of an act of the Twenty-first General Assembly.The capitol building was inaugurated with appropriate ceremonies January 17,1884: Hon. John A. Kasson delivered the inaugural address and in the courseof his remarks, paid this eulogy to the Capitol Commissioners: ' ' Not one act ofspeculation or spoilation, not one coin wasted or vainly spent, has defaced thebright record of their administration. It shall be a part of the legacy we leaveto our children that all these vast and durable walls have been laid in the cementof honesty, and built by the rule of fidelity." The capitol building stands uponan elevation one hundred and twenty-five feet above the river, and presentsa magnificent appearance of symmetrical design, yet massive in construction.The length of the building, including the porticos is 383 feet 8 inches; extremewidth, 246 feet 11 inches; height to top of final, over center of dome, 275 feet, andthe building covers 58,850 square feet of ground. There are in all 97 rooms inthe building, 82 kinds of marble and 12 kinds of wood were used in their finish.To furnish water, gas and heat, 241,012 feet of pipe, equal to forty-five mileswas used. The cost of constructing the building was $2,876,800.

REPAIRS. The Twenty-eighth General Assembly passed an act approvedApril 7, 1900, providing? for the appointment of a Capitol Improvement Com-mission to estimate the cost of repairs and make report to the succeedinggeneral assembly. The Twenty-ninth General Assembly passed an act, ap-proved April 12, 1002, erenting tho Capitol Commission, authorizing the mem-bers to carry on tho work of improvements, and appropriating $250,000 for thi^purpose. The work of improving the capitol has been going on during thepast year. It will take two or three more years to complete the work. The

flre, which consumed a large portion of tho inturior work In tho north wingof the building on January 4, 1904, will, of course, add to I ho oost of the re-pairs. The damage caused by the flre has been variously estimated from$75,000 to $125,000 and the amount needed to repair this damage will varyaccording to how nearly flre-proof the repairs are made.

IOWA IN THE SPANISH WAR. The same spirit of patriotismwhich so gloriously emblazoned Iowa's loyalty to the flag of her country in the60's was everywhere in evidence when the call was made in 1898 for troops tosuppress Spanish tyranny in Cuba. The quota asked of Iowa was offered manytimes over. Four regiments of infantry, two batteries of field artillery, onesignal corps company and one company of colored immunes were musteredInto the service from Iowa. One regiment, the Forty-ninth, and the signalcorps company saw service in Cuba^.while another regiment, the Fifty-first,served in the Philippine Islands for nearly a year. The officers and men of theseregiments and the signal corps performed valiant service in the nation's cause,and their deeds will ever be a credit to the State.

DESCRIPTIVE.*

Topography. The surface of Iowa is an extensive plain which is brokenby few conspicuous topographic forms. The highest point in the State is on thedivide towards the northwest corner, and the lowesc is in the extreme south-east portion. The measure of the range of elevations between these pointsdoes not exceed one thousand two hundred feet. The ridge of greatest alti-tude is the continuation of the great watershed of Minnesota and Dakotas,across the western portion of the State, Minor ridges occur at various points,notably the Oneota and Turkey river watershed, and the divide between thehead water of the Cedar and the Dea Moines. The surface of the northeasternportion of the State slopes towards the southwest at the rate of more thanseven feet to the mile as is shown by the following altitudes taken along a lineat right angles to the drainage: Arlington, 1,113 feet; Oelwein, 1,049; Fair-bank, 1,000; Dunkerton, 945; Dewar, Sct9; Waterloo, 841. Farther west the sur-face rises to the crest of the great divide and then descends again towards thewest and south to the borders of the State.

The larger streams occupy great trough-like depressions as is indicated bythe elevation of the following points across the basin of the Des Moines river:Storm Lake, 1,440 feet; Newell, 1,268; Manson, 1,238; Barnum, 1,178; FortDodge, in the axis of the trough, 1,008; Webster City, 1,039; Druid Siding,1,196; Blairsburg, 1,227. Farther south and east the cross-section of theWapsipinicon basin reveals the same fact: Delmar, 807 feet; DeWitt, 711;Noel, at bottom, 637; Long Grove, 756; Eldridge, 806.

In the north central portion of Iowa there is a distinct topographic areaextending in width from Howard county to Osceola and reaching as far southas the counties of Polk and Johnson- Over this region the surface is generallylevel or gently undulating. Occasionally there are encountered knobs of drif cwhich in places are so disposed as to enclose depressions forming lake basins.This is the newer portion of the State. The topography is young Drainageis imperfectly developed. Stream erosion is practically absent. The surfacefeatures have been moulded by the glaciers and have scarcely been modifiedsince the later ice sheets withdrew from the State.

• The article on topography, rivers and lakes was prepared by T. E. Savage,assistant state geologist.

xxii Iowa Official Register.

West of this area to the border of the Stat^, and south to the Mi-^ouri Hnethe surface is intricately dissected by stream channels*. The numerous Rtreams,each with its series of pinnately branching tributaries, have carved the entireregion into rounded hills and alternating ridges and ravines. The largerstreams flow on graded floors which lie seventy-five to two hundred and fiftyfeet below the crests of the divides. The upland areas are usually narrow.The valleys are broad. The bluffs are rounded and the slopes of the basin aregentle. Orer this portion of the State the superficial drift is of Kansan age.The topography is mature, and it has l>eon carved by erosion out of the oncelevel drift surface. In the lower portions of their flow the streams haveexpanded their channels to a width of from one to two and one half miles. Atsuch places the broad, level flood-plains become features of topographicimportance.

In the northeast corner of the State there is a small area embracing thewhole of Allamakee county and a portion of Winneshielr, Fayette, Clayton,Dubuque and Jackson, whose irregular surface has never been planed downby the action of ice. This is known as the driftless area. It Is a picturesqueregion. Aland of gorg-s and deep rock-cut valleys A place where rushingstreams are bounded by steep escarpments; where majestic cliffs are crownedwith resistant ledges which have weathered into fantastic forms of tower3 andbuttresses and castellated peaks. This area has appropriately been termedthe ' ' Switzerland of Iowa." Its topography was produced by long continuederosion acting upon massive beds of indurated rocks. The bluffs which borderthe Mississippi river and its larger tributaries in this particular region standthree hundred feet above the flood-plains, while the height of the dividing ridgesabove the water of the streams exceeds six hundred feet. The entire area isso gashed and tr enched by ravines and valleys that the lines of travel conformIn the main to the courses of the streams, or wind along the summit* of thedivides. The topographic forms of this area illustrate features that wouldhave been presented over the entire surface of Iowa had not the glaciersground off the ridges and filled the valleys and buriei them all beneath a thickmantle of drift.

Rivers. Iowa is bordered by the Mississippi river on the east and the Mis-souri river on the we3t, both of which are navigable. The great watershed ofthe State extends in a sinuous line from Dickinson to Appanoose county. Therivers east of this divide drain more than two thirds of the State and rendertribute to the Mississippi. All of the large streams of this area follow coursesthat are approximately parallel and have a general southeasterly trend; ofthese the principal rivers are Des Moines, with a flow in the State of 503 miles;Cedar, 248 miles; Iowa, 240 miles; Wapsipinicon, 198 miles; Skunk, 187 miles;Maquoketa, 102 miles; Turkey, 90 miles, and Oneota, 8S miles. The main rivers ofwestern Iowa that flow into the Mi souri nre Chariton, Grand, Nodaway,Nishnabotna, Little Sioux and Big Sioux. These streams are generally shorterthan those which belong to the Mississippi system but they have a more widelybranch ng series of tributaries. The most of the rivers of Iowa rise in lakes,sloughs or marshy depressions. As they flow onward their channels graduallybecome deeper so that in the lower courses their waters flow through broadflood-plains which are bounded by bluffs of drift or ledges of indurated rock.The principal forests in the State are found aijacent to the rivers aid theirdendritic series of brandies. In enrly days boa's plied on the Des Moines, Iowaand Cedar as well as the two gret\t boundary rivers, but at present thetraffic of the State is almost exclusively carried by the railroads.

Lakes. The numerous lakes of Iowa are all of glacial origin, with theexception of th? ox-bow lakes or cut-offs which lie in the flood plains of thelarger streamsv They are confined to the area that was covered by the latestice sheet, known as the Wisconsin. The most of them occupy depressionswhich were formed by the irregular heaping of the material in the borderingmoraine. Spirit Lake in Dickinson county is the largest of these glacial pools.It is four miles in length and almost as wide as long. It is sixteen miles incircumference and covers an area of ten square miles. A short distance southof Spirit Lake is Okoboji, considered the most beautiful of Iowa\>* charminglakele's. It has something of the form of a horseshoe with an irregular shoreline. It is six miles in length, nearly three miles in greatest width and is sevenj-quare miles in extent. Its greatest reported depth is 185 feet. In this samecounty lie Gar, Center, Swan, Silver, Pratt and Sylvan lakes and numerousothers, which together constitute the most attractive features of northernIowa. Clear Lake in Cerro Gordo county, lies in the eastern arm of the Wisconsinmoraine. It is about four miles in length, two and one half miles in width andhas a maximum depth of fifteen feet. Among the other larger lakes of theStato are Storm Lake in Buena Vista county. Swan Lake in Emmet, PelicanLake in Palo Alto and Wall Lake in Wright. There is another Wall Lake inthe county of Sac. Indeed, there are several bodies of water in Iowa whichbear the name of Wall Lake on account of the peculiar embankments of bowl-ders or gravel or sand that border them. Nearly all of the glacial lakes arebounded by such walls or ridges which have been gradually pushed up by theexpansion of the ice as tho daily temperature varied during the winters of suc-cessive centuries since the Iake3 were formed.

IN 00NGRE9S, JULY 4, 1776.

THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF THE THIRTEEN UNITED STATESOF AMERICA.

{Adopted by the Continental Congress July t, and authenticated and pro-claimed July 4, me. ]

WHEN In the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people todissolve the political bauds which have connected them with another, and toassume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to whichthe laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to theopinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impelthem to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; thatthey are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that amongthese are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights,governments are instituted among men, deriving their Just powers from theconsent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomesdestructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, andto institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, andorganizing its powers in suchform, as to them shall seem most likely to effecttheir safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governmentslong established should not be changed for light and transient causes;and,accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer,while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms towhich they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations,pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them underabsolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such govern,ment, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been thepatient sufferance of these colonies, and such is now the necessity which con-strains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of thepresent king of Great Britain is a history of repeated Injuries and usurpations,all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over thesestates. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world:

He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for thepublic good.

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressingimportanca, unless suspended In their operation till his assent should beobtained, and, when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts ofpeople, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in thelegislature—a right inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only.

(3)

4 Iowa Official Register.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable,and distant from the repository of their public records, for the sole purpose offatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissoved representative houses repeatedly for opposing, with manlyfirmness, his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused, for a long time after such dissolution?, to cause others to beelected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returnedto the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining, in the meantime,exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states, for that pur-pose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass othersto encourage their migration hither, and raising tne conditions of new appro-priations of lands.

He has obstructed the adminstration of justice by refusing his assent to lawsfor establishing judiciary powers.

He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their officesand the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officersto harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the con-sent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to, thecivil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to ourconstitution and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their acts ofpretended legislation—

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us.For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders

which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states;For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world.For imposing taxes on us without our consent;For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury;For transporting us beyond seas, to be tried for pretended offenses;For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province;

establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries, soas to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the sameabsolute rule into these colonies;

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and alter-ing fundamentally the forms of our governments;

For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves investedwith power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection andwaging war against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and des-troyed the lives of our people.

•He is, at this time, transporting Inrge armies of foreign mercenaries to com-plete the works of death, desolation nnd tyranny, already begun, with circum-stances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages,and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our follow-citizetis, taken captive on the high seas, tobear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friendsand brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored tobring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whoseknown rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes andconditions.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress, in themost humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeatedinjury. A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which maydefine a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We havewarned them, from time to time, of attempts, by their legislature, to extendan unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the cir-cumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to theirnative justice and magnanimity; and we have conjured them, by the ties of ourcommon kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably inter-rupt our connections and correspondence. They, too, have been deaf to thevoice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in thenecessity which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the restof mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.

We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in gen-eral congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for therectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the goodpeople of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united coloniesare, and of right ought to be, free and independent states; that they areabsolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political con-nection between them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totallydissolved; and that, as free and independent states, they have full power tolevy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and do allother acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the sup-port of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Devine Pro-vidence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and oursacred honor.

JOHNSON BRIGHAM, State Librarian.The accession list of the State Library on the first day of July 1903, included

79,629 volumes, exclusive of the volumes of the Historical Department withwhich the miscellaneous portion of the State Library was consolidated by act ofthe Twenty-eighth General Assembly. The total accessions during the yearending Jane 30, 1003, was 5,028 volumes.

The actual transfer of books from the miscellaneous department of theState Library, left to the discretion of the Library Board, having been carriedout BO far as the limited stack room in the Historical Department would permit,

136 Iowa Official Register.

will not be completed until the completion of the Historical Building shall havemade the full transfer feasible. This delay is a constant embarrassment, notonly in the cataloging of the two departments, but also in the arrangement ofnew books on the shelves. The suspension of the work of consolidation com-pels the continuation of a temporizing policy in the shelving of books, which,though not in any sense seriously damaging, presents many difficulties, chieflybecause of the tendency of the two growing departments, the Law and theMiscellaneous, to overlap each other, each calling with equal urgency for themost accessible space, and both now overflowing alcoves which three years agoafforded ample space.

The Law Department has within the year been strengthened by-several neweetB, and the alcove devoted to the literature of the law has been enriched bymany purchases.

The Document Department is steadily nearing the goal of completeness—agoal very difficult of attainment. For most practical purposes, however, theseeker after documentary information can now obtain what he seeks, either innational documents or in those issued by the several states.

The Miscellaneous Department, during the past year, has grown chiefly Inthe direction of sociological works, periodicals and complete sets of standardworks. N

The card cataloging of the entire library after the most approved methodsof library science—a laborious task—begun in 1898 and continued along with thework of cataloging new books as they are accessioned, is finally completed.

The general advance in the price of books and especially of the more val-uable sets of books most needed in a reference library is making it hard to keepthe three departments of the library within the narrow limits of their income.

As now orpanizcd this department dates from the first day of July, 189S.Its chief purpose is the collection of historical data relating to our own state andthe territory U the middle west of which it originally formed a part. So far asliterature is concerned speoial efforts are made to oollect Iowa newspapers fromthe earliest dates to the present time; works of state and general western andnational history, biography and genealogy; works on the slavery question andthe war for the union; histories of all our wars from the earliest times; reportsupon the oensu9 of both state and nation; works relating to the North AmericanIndians; county histories; earlier and later maps; Iowa pamphlets; biographiesof our notable men and women, printed or In manuscript; written or printed^ t i relating to eajly epUler* VVJ net-tlementa; reports, ofttftlopop &A£

broadsides relating to the churches, educational and benevolent institutions ofthe state; in short, every species of data which can throw light upon local,state or western history, ,

The department publishes The Annals of Iowa, an illustrated quarterly his-to- ical magazine of eighty pages, now in its sixth volume. This is made up oforiginal contributions in history and biography. By direction of the trusteesIt is sent free to every organized library in our state. Its price to subscribersis $1 per year.

In addition to The Annals, the Historical Department is to be credited withthe following publications, viz: Six biennial reports; "John Brown Amongthe Quakers, and Other Sketches," by Hon. Irving B. Riohman ; "First Censusof the Original Counties of Dubuque and Des Moine<?," edited by Dr. Benj.F. Shambaugh; • 'History of the Constitutions of Iowa," by Dr. Shambaugh:reprints of the laws of Iowa, 1838-39 and of 1839-40, and the hitherto unpublishedJournals of the Council and House of Representatives of the extra session of1840.

The department has secured sixty fine oil portraits of distinguished Iowana,the most of which are now on exhibition in the art gallery of the historicalbuilding. Several more are promised in the near future.

The historical collections of the department up to January 1, 1904, are aafollows ;Bound volumes of newspapers 2,940Newspapers and periodicals currently received 426Books and pamphlets in the library 11,754

Also a large collection of autograph letters and manuscripts. ,The Museum includes seven large autograph case3; a collection of recent,

aboriginal and prehistoric pottery—some of the most interesting specimens ofwhich were found in our own state; a large collection of stone implements,among which is an Iowa axe weighing 31% pounds-one of the largest ever dis.covered—with hundreds "of flints; many teeth, tusks, and other bones of themammoth and mastodon, all of which were found in Iowa; two large cases ofbirds—mostly specimens found within our state; many Iowa mammals; fourlarge aquariums stocked with a collection of Iowa fishes; a case of Indianbaskets, bead work, implements and weapons, the most of which were manu-factured by the Musquakie Indians of Tama county; a collection of arms— can-non, mortars, swivel guns, rifle?, muskets, carbines, swords and pistols, in useduring the Civil, Spanish and Philippine wars; duplicates in bronze of most ofthe historic medals issued by the U. S. Government; the Larrabee case with itshighly interesting and historically valuable contents; with single items of moreor less importance.

A large portion of the articles in this museum possess historic value, asidefrom their popular interest. It is estimated that over 50,000 people visit theMuseum and Art Gallery annually. In this way the people are realizing a re-turn for the taxes they pay for the support of the department. Not the leastgratifying result of the years of work devoted to this department is the greatmeasure of appreciation which has been accorded to it by people in every paj^

JOHNSON BREGHAM, state librarian President.Alice S. Tyler, secretary. Office, state house, Des Moines.Margaret W. Brown, olerk (acting librarian of traveling library).The Iowa Library Commisaion was created by an act of the Twenty-eighth

General Assembly in March, 1900. The growing interest in library matters andthe many gifts for the erection of library buildings have made the demands onthe commission heavy and constant and the secretary's time has been mor«than filled.

The demands made upon the secretary, cover a wide range of interests,among which are the following: Assisting any community desiring aid inplanning for the submission of a library tax to a popular vote: aiding boards oftrustees and librarians in organizing libraries for a business-like administra-tion; assisting in the classifying, shelf-libting and cataloging of books; address-Ing women's clubs, teachers' meetings, public meetings, etc. ; conferring withlibrary trustees and city councils in the consideration of plans for new librarybuildings, with special reference to best working interior arrangement, etc.By correspondence also much information has been given to librarians andlibrary boards as to details of library economy, the selection and classificationof books, etc.

The work of the traveling library, formerly under the direction of the statelibrary, was seen to be so intimately connected with the work of library exten-sion over the entire state that the desirability of transferring it to the commis-sion was soon evident, library extension being the primary purpose of thelibrary commission. Therefore, the library commission law was revised by theTwenty-ninth General Assembly in order to provide for the transfer of the*traveling library to the Iowa Library Commission, and a slightly increasedappropriation was provided.

The principal activities of the commission are as follows: (1) The travelinglibrary, consisting of over 10,000 volumes, which are made up into miscellan-eous collections of fifty volume libraries or books on special subjects of studyand loaned to any community in the state complying with a simple agreementand paying transportation charges. (2) Summer library school, conducted bythe secretary at the State University at Iowa City for six weeks each summeras a department of the university's summer session.^ (3) Periodical clearinghouse for the exchange of standard periodicals indexed in Poole's AbridgedIndex, this exchange being for the purpose of aiding small libraries in securingsets of standard periodicals without cost. (4) Publication of quarterly circu-lars of information, leaflets and other material practically helpful in dissem-inating library information and in developing and fostering the library spirit inIowa.

The voting machine commission was created by the act of the Twenty-eighthGeneral Assembly, providing for the use of voting machines at all state, county,city, town and township elections. By this act the Governor was authorizedto appoint three commissioners, not more than two of whom should be fromthe same political party. The commissioners are appointed for the term of fiveyears, subject to removal at the pleasure of the Governor.

Individuals or corporations owning or interested in any voting machine maycall upon the commissioners to examine the said voting machine. After suchexamination the commissioners are to report the results to the Secretary ofState, giving the capacity of such machine to register the vote of the people, itsaccuracy and efficiency, and its mechanical perfections or imperfections. Thisreport is to be filed in the office of the Secretary of State, and it must state theopinion of the commissioners, whether the kind of machine so examined canbe safely used by the voters. Should the report state that the machine can beso used, it shall be deemed approved by the commissioners, and machines oits kind may be adopted and used at the various elections held in the State. Formaking such examination and report, each commissioner is to receive the sumof $150 for his compensation, and expenses, but no commissioner is to receivean amount in excess of $1,500 and reasonable expenses in any one year. Thefees for examination are to be paid by the individual or corporation owning orinterested in the voting machine examined.

The act makes the following provisions as to the construction of the machineapproved:

' 'A voting machine approved by the State Board of Voting Machine Com-missioners must be so constructed as to provide facilities for voting for thecandidates of at least seven different parties or organizations, must permit avoter to vote for any person for any office, although not nominated as a candi-date by any party or organization, and must permit voting in absolute secrecy.It must also be so constructed as to prevent voting for more than one personfor the same office, except where the voter is lawfully entitled to vote for morethan one person for that office ; and it must afford him an opportunity to votefor any or all persons for that office as he is by law entitled to vote for, and nomore, at the same time preventing his voting for the same person twice. Itmay also be provided with one ballot in each party column or row containingonly the words 'presidential electors'preceded by the party name, and a votefor such ballot shall operate as a vote for all candidates of such party for presi-dential electors. Such machine shall be so constructed as to accurately accountfor every vote cast upon it. "

THE IOWA BUILDING.

LOCATION.

The Iowa Building has a beautiful location in that part of the groundsassigned to state buildings. On the north of the Iowa Building is Kansas,New York, Minnesota, Massachusetts and Oregon; on the west, Arkan-sas, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Rhode Island; on the south, NewJersey, Mississippi, Indian Territory and Utah. The Iowa Building is locatedat the intersection of the two most prominent thoroughfares, with an outlookon a pretty plaza full of choice flowers and tropical plants which extends for aquarter of a mile directly in front of the main entrance of the Iowa Building.The grounds about the buildin g are beautifully shaded with forest trees, andare high, being 100 feet above the main exposition buildings. The Intra-MuralRailway car line which passes all of the exposition buildin g3 and the large con-cessions on the Pike, has a station near the Iowa building, putting it in closetouch with every part of the 1,260 acres which is devoted to the exposition.

ARCHITECTURE.

The architecture of the Iowa building is a delightful blending of the archi-tecture of the old state capitol located at Iowa City and of the new state capitollocated at Des Moines, the cupola on the building being a reproduction of theold capitol, and the columns and facade being that of the new. It is 68 feetwide by 106 feet long, including the porches. The extreme width is 108 by 160feet long. It is 49 feet to the top of *he roof and 90 feet to the flag-pole.

The structure is of the French Renaissance style. This is the style of thebetter class of state buildings on the exposition grounds and the general styleof the exposition buildings, so that in point of style the Iowa building harmon-izes well with its surroundings. The paneled ceilings and walls of the interiorare intended to afford ample opportunity for mural decorations.

150 Iowa Official Register.

FACTS ABOUT THE BUILDING.

The building, the commission believes, is a credit to Iowa in every sense. Itcombines the artistic and the practical in an unusual degree, being roomy andcomfortable.

The structure is of wood and staff, ivory white, in accord with the generalcolor scheme of the exposition buildings. Over the main entrance appears theword, "Iowa," and it is expected in carrying out the mural decorations to por-tray historical and allegorical scenes directly relating to this state.

On the first story there is ample porch space, and on the second, wide bal-conies. The tiled roofs over the second story will be used as lookouts or ter-races, and are easily accessible through doors at the end of attic halls.Arrangements will be made for covering these terraces with awnings andlighting them in the evenings, thus affording extensive views of the expositiongrounds.

One of the strong features of the plan is the interior arrangements. Onthe first floor in the center is a rotunda, 28 by 28 feet. Leading off from thisare two large public parlors. There are also on this floor two reading rooms,each 22% by 40 feet, a woman's retiring room, the secretary's office, toiletrooms, and wide vestibules leading from the main entrances. The first storywill be 14 feet high.

On the second floor is the governor's reception room and exhibition room,each 80 by 40 feet. There are private rooms for the governor and for the presi-dent of the commission, and six comfortable commissioners' rooms rangedalong one side of the building. The hall space in the second story is ample.The height of the second story is 16 feet. In the third or attic story are therooms for employes and in the basement a storage room for folding chairs andpacking cases.

The Iowa building is for the accommodation of Iowa people and their friendswho desire a resting place during the day and where meetings can be held byIowa people, and general meetings for fair visitors.

INFORMATION BTTREAU.

A bureau of information and a postoffice where Iowa people can receive andsend mail, will be maintained and every facility offered for furnishing informa-tion concerning the exposition and the city of St. Louis. The Iowa Commissioninvites all Iowa people and their friends to make their headquarters at the Iowabuilding during the Exposition.

President Larrabee has tendered a pipe organ for use in the Iowa buildingduring the Exposition.

The contract was awarded the M. P. Moller Organ Co., Hagerstown, Md. Theorgan is to have two manuals, thirty stops, 1,512 pipes, nine pedal movements.The casing will be of solid mahogany wood, the front pipes being handsomelyand fittingly decorated. It is to be installed at the head of the grand staircaseleading out of tho main rotunda, the most attractive and prominent place in allthe building to install such a gift. It is expected that concerts will be given inthe Iowa building, whore an auditorium seating 600 people has been provided,and the great organists of our own state and abroad will be secured for recitalB.

1 • When St. Louis citizen's sought for a method to celebrate the purchase ofthe Louisiana Territory, it was an Iowa man, Mr. Fred Lehmann, now an emi-nent attorney in St. Louis, who insisted and finally established the idea that anexposition should be the means employed to that end. The congress which washeld to discuss the plan, and which was attended by representatives of all thestates carved out of this territory, was presided over by an Iowa man,Lieutenant Governor Milllman, of Logan.

•' Iowa's legislature was the first to memorialize the national congress toact in the matter.

bill in Con gross authorizing the holding of the Fair.

The commission made one visit to the Chattanooga battle fields in Novem-ber 1902, and after a week's study, located the three sites, one within the nationalmilitary park reservation of ninety-eight acres on Lookout Mountain, in front

The Twenty-ninth General Assembly, in accordance with the recommenda-tion made by the Capitol Improvement Commission, appropriated the sum of1250,000 to repair, improve, adorn and complete the capitol building andgrounds and authorized the Governor to appoint a commission of three mem-bers to superintend and contract for the improvements. In accordance withsaid law Governor Cummins in May, 1902, appointed the above members of thecommission. The commission held its first meeting in July, 1902, and sincethat date has gone steadily forward with the work. The first substantial workwas the replacing of the old slate roof of the capitol with a modern copper oneat a cost of $19,178. A new fireproof warehouse has been erecttd across thestreet from the capitol at a cost of $28,465. This building will be used for a doc-ument store house and the basement for the electrical machinery.

The heating and ventilating system of the capitol h*m been replaced by amodern fan system. The building has been wired throughout so as to permit ofthe substitution of electricity for gas in lighting and a modern electrical planthas been installed to generate sufficient power. The old elevators have beenremoved and new machinery for their operation installed. At the boiler housethe old boilers have been displaced by new high pressure water tube boilers.During the past twenty years many parts of the building had fallen into de-cay and consequently a considerable amount of restoration has been necessary inconnection with the above mentioned improvements. To date the commissionhas expended $192,000.

In addition there yet remains as unfinished work the repairing of the walks,coping and steps; the reflnishing and repairing of the wood work and furni-ture; the regilding of the dome and the painting and decorating of the halls,corridors and rotunda. It is the Intention of the commission to bring thestandard and character of the decorations up to the architectural dignity andbeauty of the building.

The fire in the north wing of the building, which occurred on the 4th dayof January, 1904, caused an important interruption in the work of the com-mission. It will cost about $5,000 to restore portions of the work of the commission destroyed or impaired by fire. The entire loss to the State will prob-ably not exceed $100,000. The exact sum will probably never be known, fromthe fact that it seems to be the determination of the legislature to make thebuilding in that section as nearly fireproof as practicable, which will involveadditional expenditure.

Of the emergency fund of $8,000 provided by the legislature for expensesincurred at the time of the fire and in fitting up the House Hall for use at thepresent session about $0,000 has been expended.

The Iowa Experiment Station was established in accordance with an act ofcongress, approved March 2, 1887, for the purpose of aiding "in acquiring anddiffusing among the people of the United States useful and practical informa"tion on subjects com e ted with agriculture, and to promote scientific investi-gation and experiments respecting the principles and applications of agricul-tural science," under direction of the land grant colleges in each state and ter-ritory established by the act of 1862, creating such colleges.^ This act appropri-ated to each state and territory, for the purpose of agricultural investigation,the Bum of $15,000 annually, and the experiment stations were thus establishedas a department of the land grant colleges. They are subject to the regulationsof the United States department of agriculture, and are regularly inspected byofficers of that department.'^ The results of these investigations and experi-ments in agriculture, including live stock and all related branches, are pub-lished in bulletins issued by the experiment stations quarterly or oftener, anddistributed free to all residents of the respective states who applj for them.

National convention, Philadelphia, June 20, 1900.Temporary Chairman- SENATOR EDWARD O. WALCOTT, of Colorado.Permanent Chairman— SENATOR HENRY CABOT LODGE, of Massachusetts

NATIONAL. PLATFORM.

The republicans of the United States, through their chosen representatives,meet in national convention, looking back upon an unsurpassed record of achieve-ment and looking forward into a great field of duty and opportunity; and,appealing to the judgment of their countrymen, make those declarations.

PREAMBLE.

The expectation in which the American people, turning from the democraticparty, intrusted power, four years ago to a republican chief magistrate and arepublican congress, has been met and satisfied. When the people thenassembled at the polls, after a term of democratic legislation and adminis-tration, business was dead, industry paralyzed, and the national credit dia"astrously Impaired. The country's capital was hidden away and its labordistressed and unemployed. The democrats had no other plan with which to

222 Iowa Official Register.

Improve the ruinous conditions, which they had themselves produced* than tocoin silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.

i ' - • P L E D G E S F I L L E D .

The republican party, denouncing this plan as sure to produce conditionseven worse than those from which relief was sought, promised to restore pros-perity by means of two legislative measures—a protective tariff and a law mak-ing gold the standard of value.

The people, by great majorities, issued to the republican party a commis-sion to enact these laws. This commission has been executed, and the republi"can promise Is redeemed.

Prosperity more general and more abundant than we have ever known hasfollowed these enactments. There is no longer controversy as to the value ofany government obligations. Every American dollar is a gold dollar or itsassured equivalent, and American credit stands higher than that of anynation. Capital is fully employed, and everywhere labor is profitably occupied.No single fact can more strikingly tell the story of what republican governmentmeans to the country than this—that, while during the whole period of 107years, from 1700 to 1897, there was an excess of exports over imports of only$383,028,497, there has been, in the short three years of the present republicanadministration an excess of exports over imports in the enormous sum of $1,483,•537,094.

TBIXTMPH IN WAR.

And while the American people, sustained by this republican legislation,have been achieving these splendid triumphs in their business and commerce,they have conducted, and in victory concluded, a war for liberty and humanrights. No thought of national aggrandizement tarnished the high purpose withwhich American standards were unfurled.

It was a war unsought and patiently resisted, but when it came the Americangovernment was ready. Its fleets were cleared for action. Its armies were inthe field, and the quick and signal triumph of its forces on land and sea boreequal tribute to the courage of American soldiers and sailors and to the skill andforesight of republican statesmanship. To ten millions of the human race therewas given • 'a new birth of freedom," and to the American people a new andnoble responsibility.

TBtTE TO M'KINLET.

We indorse the administration of William McKinley. Its acts have beenestablished in wisdom and in patriotism, and at home and abroad it has distinctlyelevated and extended the influence of the American nation.

Walking untried paths and facing unforeseen responsibilities, PresidentMcKInley has been in every situation the true American patriot and the uprightstatesman, clear In vision, strong in judgment, firm in action, always inspir-ing, and deserving the confidence of his countrymen.

In asking the American people to endorse this republican record and torenew their commission to the republican party, we remind them of the factthat the menace to their prosperity has always resided in democratic principlesand no less in the general incapacity of the democratic party to conduct publicaffairs. »>

The prime essential of business prosperity is public confidence in the goodsonse of the government and In its ability to deal intelligently with each new

Iowa Official Register. 223

problem of administration and legislation. That confidence the democraticparty has never earned. It is hopelessly inadequate, and the country's pros-perity when democratic success at the polls is announced halts and ceases inmere anticipation of democratic failures and blunders.

GOLD STANDARD.

We renew our allegiance to the principles of the gold standard and declareour confidence in the wisdom of the legislation of the Fifty-sixth Congress bywhich the parity of all our money and the stability of our currenoy on a goldbasis have been secured.

We recognize that interest rates are a potent factor in production and bus-iness activity, and for the purpose of further equalizing and of further lower-ing the rates of interest we favor such monetary legislation as will enable thevarying needs of the season and of all sections to be promptly met, in orderthat trade may be evenly sustained, labor steadily employed and commerceenlarged.

The volume of money in circulation was never so great per capita as it Isto-day. We declare our steadfast opposition to the free and unlimited coinageof silver. No measure to that end could be considered which was witnout thesupport of the leading commercial countries of the world. However /Irmlyrepublican legislation may seem to have secured the country against the perilof base and discredited currency, the election of a democratic president couldnot fail to impair the country's credit and to bring once more into question theintention of the American people to maintain upon the gold standard the parityof their money circulation. The democratic party must be convinced that theAmerican people will never tolerate the Chicago platform.

J AGAINST TRUSTS.

We recognize the necessity and propriety of the honest co-operation ofcapital to meet new business conditions, and especially to extend our rapidlyIncreasing foreign trade, but we condemn all conspiracies and combinationsintended to restrict business, to create monopolies, to limit production or tocontrol prices, and favor such legislation as will effectually restrain and pre-vent all such abuses, protect and promote competition and secure the rights ofproducers, laborers and all who are engaged in industry and commerce.

PROTECTION.

We renew our faith in the policy of protection to American labor. In thatpolicy our industries have been established, deversifled and maintained. Byprotecting the home market, the competition has been stimulated and pro-duction cheapened. Opportunity to the inventive genius of our people ha*been secured and wages in every department of labor maintained at high rates,higher now than ever before, always distinguishing our working people In theirbetter conditions of life from those of any competing country.

Enjoying the blessings of American common schools, secure in the right ofself-government and protected, in the occupancy of their own markets, theirconstantly increasing knowledge and skill have enabled them finally to enterthe markets of the world. We favor the associated policy of reciprocity, FOdirected as to open our markets on favorable terms for what we do not ourselves produce, in return for free foreign markets.

224 Jowa Official ""Register'.

In the further Interest of American workmen we favor a more effective•rentrlntlon of the Inimical Ion of cheap labor from foreign lands, the- extensionof opportunities of education for working children, the raining of the age limitfor child htl.or, thu protection of free labor aa against contract convict labor,,and an (TlVclive system of labor insurance.

MEIiCIIANT A1AIUNB.

Oar present dependence upon foreign shipping for nine-tenths of our foreign.carrying is p. great loss to the industry of this country. It is also a seriousdanger tu our trade, for its sudden withdrawal in the event of European warwould seriously cripple our expanding foreign commerce. The national def en-ean I naval efficiency of this country, moreover, r-upplr a competent reason forlegislation which will enable us to recover our former place among the tradecarrying fleets of the world.

PENSIONS.

The nation owes adebt of profound gratitude to the soldiers and sailors whohave fought its battles, and it is the government's duty to provide for the sur-vivors and for the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in the country'swars.

The pension laws, founded in this sentiment, should be liberal and shouldbe liberally administered and preference should be given, wherever practicable,with respect to employment in the public service to soldier.-* ;w;d sailors and todJieir widows and orphans.

CIVIL SKRVK'F.

We commend the policy of the republican party In maintaining the efficiency•of the civil service. The administration hi-; acted wisely in its effort to securefor public service in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippine islands onlythose whose fitness has been determined by training and experience. We believethat employment in the public service in these territories should be confined, asfar as practicable, to their inhabitants.

It was the plain purpose of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution toprevent discrimination on account of race or color in regulating the electivefranchise. Device* of state governments, whether by statutory- or constitu-tional enactment, to avoid the purpose of this amendment are revolutionary andshould be condemned.

Public movements looldng to a permanent improvement of the roads andhighways of the country meet with our cordial approval, and we recommendthis subject to the earnest consideration of the people and of the legislatures ofthe several states.

We favor the extension of the rural free delivery service wherever its exten-sion muy be justified.

In further pursuance of the constant policy of the republican party to pro-vide free homos on the public domain, we nvonimend adequate national legis-lation to re.-lnim thn arid lumK of the United States, n^rrvin- control of thedistribution of wtiler for irrigation to the respective states and territories.

We favor home rule for and the early admission to statehood of tin- t e r n f o r

WAR TAXES.

The Dingley act, amended to provide sufficient revenue for the conduct ofthe war, has so well performed its work that it has been possible to reduce thewar debt in the sum of $40,000,000. So ample are the government's revenues,and so great is the public confidence in the integrity of its obligation-, that itsnewly funded two per cent bonds sell at a premium. The country is now justi-fied in expecting, and it will be the policy of the republican party to bring abouta reduction of the war taxes.

ISTHMIAN CANAL.

We favor the construction, ownership, control and protection of an isthmiancanal by the government of the United States. New markets are necessary forthe increasing surplus of our farm products. Every effort should be made toopen and obtain new markets, especially in the Orient, and the administrationis warmly to be commended for its successful effort to commit all trading andcolonizing nations to the policy of the open door in China.

In the interest of our expanding commerce we recommend that cnngresscreate a department of commerce and industry in the charge of a secretarywith a seat in the cabinet.

The United States consular system should be recognized under the supervision of this new department upon such a basis of appointment and tenure aswill render it still more servicable to the nations increasing trade.

The American government must protect the person and property of everycitizen wherever they are wrongfully violated or placed in peril.

We congratulate the women of Am erica upon their splendid record ofpublic service in the Volunteer Aid association, and as nurses in camp andhospital during the recent campaigns of our armies in the Eastern and W esternIndies, and we appreciate their faithful co-operation in all works of educationand industry.

FORtIGN POLICY.

President McKinley has conducted the foreign affairs of the United Stateswith distinguished credit to the American people. In releasing us from thevexatious conditions of an European alliance for the government of Samoa, hiscourse is especially to be commended, By securing to our undivided controlthe most important island of the Samoan group and the best harbor in theSouthern Pacific, every American interest has been safeguarded.

We approve the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States.We commend the part taken by our government in the peace conference at

TheHague.

BOER WAR.

We assert our steadfast adherence to the policy announced in the Monroedoctrine. The provisions of TheHagae convention were wisely regarded whenPresident McKinley tendered his friendly offices in the interest of peace betweenGreat Britain and the South African republic. t

While the American government must continue the policy prescribed byWashington, affirmed by every succeeding president and imposed upon us bythe Hague treaty, of non-intervention in European controversies, the Americanpeople earnestly hope that a way may soon be found, honorably alike to bothpontending parties, to determine the strife between them.

PHILIPPFNm

In accepting by the treaty of Paris the just responsibility of our victories Inthe Spanish war, the president and the senate won the undoubted approval ofthe American people. No other course was possible than to destroy Spain'sBovereignity throughout the Western Indies and in the Philippine islands.

That course created our responsibility before the world and with the un-organized population whom our intervention had freed from Spain, to providefor the maintenance of law and order, and for the establishment of good govern-ment, and for the performance of international obligations.

Our authority could not be less than responsibility, and wherever sovereignrights were extended it became the high duty of the government to maintain itsauthority, to pub down armed insurrection, and to confer the blessings ofliberty and civilization upon all the rescued peoples.

The largest measure of self-government consistent with their welfare andour duties shall be secured to them by law.

PLEDGE TO CUBA.

To Cuba independence and self-government were assured in the same voiceby which war was declared, and to the letter this pledge should be performed.

The Republican party upon its history and upon its declaration of its princl"ciplen and policies confidently invokes the considerate and approving judgmentof the American people.

National convention, Kansas City, July 4, 1900.Temporary Chairman—Gov. CHARLES THOMAS, of Colorado.Permanent Chairman—Hon. J. D. RICHARDSON, of Tennessee.

NATIONAL PLATFORM.

We, the representatives of the democratic party of the United Stales,assembled In national convention, on the anniversary of the adoption of theDeclaration of Independence, do reaffirm our faith in that immortal proclamation of the inalienable rights of man and our allegiance to the Constitution-framed in harmony therewith by the fathers of the republic. We hold withthe United States supreme court, that the Declaration of Independence Is thespirit of our government, of which the Constitution Is the form and letter.

We declare again that all governments instituted among men derive their justpowers from the consent of the governed; that any government not based upon theconsent of the governed is a tyranny, and that to impose upon any people agovernment of force Is to substitute the methods of imperialism for those ofa republic. We hold that the Constitution follows the flag, and denounce thedoctrine that an executive or congress, deriving their existence and theirpowers from the Constitution, can exercise lawful authority beyond it, or inviolation of It.

We assert that no nation can long endure half republic and half empire, andwe warn the American people that imperialism abroad will lead quickly andinevitably to despotism at home.

PORTO RICO LAW DENOUNCED.

Believing in these fundamental principles, we denounce the Porto Rico law,enacted by a republican congress against the protest and opposition of thedemocratic minorty, as a bold and open violation of the nation's organic law,and a flagrant breach of the national good faith.

It imposes upon the people of Porto Rico a government without their consent, and taxation without representation. It dishonors the American peopleby repudiating a solemn pledge made in their behalf by the commanding generalof our army, which the Porto Ricans welcomed to a peaceful and unresistedoccupation of their land. It doomed to poverty and di«tress a people whosehelplessness appeals with peculiar force to our justice and magnanimity.

In this, the first act of its imperialistic program, the republican party seeksto commit the United States to a colonial policy, inconsistent with republicaninstitutions, and condemned by the supreme court in numerous decisions.

PLEDGES TO THE CUBANS.

We demand the prompt and honest fulfillment of our pledge to the Cubanpeople and the world that the United States has no disposition nor intention toexercise sovereignty, jurisdiction, or control over the Island of Cuba, exceptfor its pacification. The war ended nearly two years ago, profound peacereigns over all the island, and still the administration keeps the government ofthe Island from its people, while republican carpet-bag officials plunder its rev-enues and exploit the colonial theory, to the disgrace of the American people.

TnE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.

We condemn and denounce the Philippine policy of the present adminis-tration. It has involved the republic in unnecessary war, sacrificed the lives ofmany of our nobl«st son*, and placed the United States, previously known and

228 Iowa Official Register.

applauded throughout the world as the champion of freedom, In the false andun-American position of crushing with military force the efforts of our formerallies to achieve liberty and self-government. The Filipinos cannot becomecitizens without endangering our civilization;"'they cannot become subjectswithout imperiling our form of government and we are not willing to surrenderour civilization or to convert the republic into an empire; we favor an imme-diate declaration of the nation's purpose to give to the Filipinos, first, a stableform of government; second, independence; and third, protection from outsideinterference, such as has been given for nearly a century to the republics ofCentral and Sonthern America.

The greedy commercialism which dictated the Philippine policy of therepublican administration attempts to justify it with the plea that it will pay,

- but even this sordid and unworthy plea fails when brought to the test offacts. The war of criminal aggression against the Filipinos, entailing anannual expense of many millions, has already cost more than any possibleprofit that could accrue from the entire Philippine trade for years to come.Furthermore, when trade is extended at the expense of liberty the price isalways too high.

We are not opposed to territorial expansion when it takes in desirable terri-tory which can be erected into states in the Union and whose people are willingand fit to become American citizens.

We favor trade expansion by every peaceful and legitimate means. But weare unalterably opposed to the seizing or purchasing of distant islands to begoverned outside the constitution and whose people can never become citizens.

We are in favor of extending the republic's influence among the nations,but we believe that influence should be extended, not by force and violence,but through the persuasive power of a high and honorable example.

The importance of other questions now pending before the American peopleis in no wise diminished, and the democratic party takes no backward step fromits position on them, but the burning issue of imperialism growing out of theSpanish war involves the very existence of the republic and the destruction ofour free institutions. We regard it as the paramount issue of the campaign.

THE MONBOB DOCTKINE.

The declaration in the republican platform adopted at the Philadelphia con-vention, held in June 1900, that the republican party ' 'steadfastly adheres tothe policy announced in the Monroe doctrine" is manifestly insincere and decep-tive. This profession is contradicted by the avowed policy of that t>arty inopposition to the spirit of the Monroe doctrine to acquire and hold sovereigntyover large areas of territory and large numbers of people in the eastern hemis-phere. We insist on the strict maintenance of the Monroe doctrine and in allits integrity, both in letter and in spirit, as necessary to prevent the extensionof European authority on this continent and as essential to. our supremacy inAmerican affairs. At the same time we declare that no American people shallever be hold by force in miwilling subjection to European authorities.

OPPOSITION TO MILITARISM.

We opposo militarism. It means conquest abroad and intimidation andoppression at home. It means the strong arm which has ever been fatal to freeinstitutions. It is what millions of our citizens have fled from in Europe. Itwill impose upon our pouve-loving people a large standing army and unnecea-Miry burden of taxation and a constant menace to their liberties.

Iowa Official Register. 229

A small standing army with a well disciplined state militia are amplysufficient in times of peace. 'Ihis republic has no place for a vast military ser-vice and. conscription.

When the nation is in danger the volunteer soldier is his country's bestdefender. The national guard, in the United States should ever be cherished inthe patriotic hearts of a free people. Such organizations are ever an elementof strenghth and safety.

For the first time in our history and co-evil with the Philippine conquest hasthere been a wholesale departure from our time honored and approved systemof volunteer organization. We denounce it as un-American, un-Democraticand un-Republican, and as a subversion of the ancient and fixed principles of afree people.

TBUST3 DENOUNCED.

Private monopolies are indefeasible and intolerable. They destroy competi-tion, control the price of all materials and of the finished product, thus robbingboth producer and consumer. . They lessen the employment of labor and arbi-trarily fix the terms and conditions thereof, and deprive individual energy andsmall capital of their opportunity for betterment. They are the most efficientmeans yet devised for appropriating the fruits of industry to the benefit of thefew at the expense of the many, and unless their insatiate greed is checked, allwealth will be aggregated in a few hands and the republic destroyed.

The dishonest paltering with the trust evil by the republican party In stateand national platforms is conclusive proof of the truth of the charge that trustsare the legitimate product of republican policies, that they are fostered byrepublican laws, and that they are protected by the republican administrationin return for the campaign subscriptions and political support.

.We pledge the democratic party to an increasing warfare in nation, stateand city against private monopoly in every form. Existing laws against trustsmust be enforced, and more stringent ones must be enacted, providing for pub-licity as to the affairs of corporations engaged in interstate commerce, andrequiring all corporations to show, before doing business outside of the state oftheir origin, that they have no water in their stock, and that they have notattempted and are not attempting to monopolize any branch of business or theproduction of any articles of merchandise, and the whole constitutional powerof congress over inter-state commerce, the mails and all modes of inter-state com-munication shall be exercised by the enactment of comprehensive laws upon thesubject of trusts.

Tariff laws should be amended by putting the products of trusts upon thefree list to prevent monopoly under the plea of protection.

The failure of the present republican administration, with an absolute con-trol over all the branches of the national government, to enact any legislationdesigned to prevent or even curtail the absorbing power of trusts and illegalcombinations, or to enforce the anti-trust laws already on th'e statute books,proves the insincerity of the high-sounding phrases of the republican platform.

Corporations should be protected in all their rights, and their legitimateinterests should be respected, but any attempt by corporations to interf ere withthe public affairs of the people or to control the sovereignty which creates themshould be forbidden under such penalties as will make such attempts impossible.

We condemn the Dingley tariff law as a trust-breeding measure, skillfullydevised to give the few favors which they do not deserve, and to place upon themany burdens which they should not bear.

230 Iowa Official Register,

INTERSTATE flOMME'ROK LAW.

We favor Buch an enlargement of the scope of the interstate Commerce lawas will enable the commission to protect individuals and communities fromdiscriminations and the public from unjust and unfair transportation rates.

DECLARATION FOR 16 TO 1.

We reaffirm and indorse the principles of the national democratic platformadopted at Chicago in 1896, and reiterate the demand of that platform for anAmerican financial system, made by the American people for themselves,which shall restore and maintain a bimetalic level, and as a part of such systemthe immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and goldat the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent ofany other nation.

CURRENCY LAW DENOUNCED.

We denounce the currency bill enacted at the last session of congress as a stepforward in the republican policy which aim<? to discredit the sover'gn right of thenational government to issue all money, whether coin or paper, and to bestowupon national banks the power to issue and control the volume of paper moneyfor their own benefit.

A permanent national bank currency, secured by government bonds, mucthave a permanent debt to rest upon, and if the ba k currency Is to increasewith population and business the debt must also increase. The republicancurrency scheme Is therefore a scheme for fastening upon taxpayers a perpetualand growing debt for the benefit of the banks.

We are opposed to this private corporation paper circulated as money, butwithout legal-tender qualities, and demand the retirement of the national banknotes as fast as government paper or silver certificates can be substituted forthem.

6ENATOR8 ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE.

We favor an amendment to the federal constitution providing for the elec-tion of United States senators by direct vote of the people, and we favor directlegislation whereever practicable.

GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION.

We are opposed to the government by injunction; we denounce the black-list, and favor arbitration as a means of settling disputes between corporationsand employes.

In the interest of American labor and the uplifting of the workingmen, asthe cornerstone of the prosperity of our country, we recommend that congresscreate a department of labor, in charge of a secretary, with a seat in the cab-inet, believing that the el ovation of the American laborer will bring with it in-creased production and increased prosperity to our country at home and to ourcommorce abroad.

Wo are proud of the courage and fidelity of the American soldiers and sailorsIn all our wars; we favor liberal pensions to them and their dependents, and we

Iowa Official Register. 231

reiterate the position taken in the Chicago platform in 1896, that the fact of en-listment and service shall be deemed conclusive evidence against disease anddisability before enlistment.

NICARAGUA CANAL.

We favor the immediate construction, ownership and control of the Nicara-gua canal by the United States, and we denounce the insincerity of the plankin the national republican platform for an Isthmain canal in face of the failure ofthe republican majority to pass the bill pending in congress.

We condemn the Hay-Pauncefote treaty as a surrender of American rightsand interests and not to be tolerated by the American people.

tSTATEHOOD FOR THE TERRITORIES.

We denounce the failure of the republican party to carry out its pledges, togrant statehood to the territories of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, andwe promise the people of those territories immediate statehood and home ruleduring their condition as territories, and we favor home rule and a territorialform of povernment for Alaska and Porto Rico.

ARID LANDS.

We favor an intelligent system of improving the arid lands of the west,storing the waters for purposes of irrigation, and the holding of such lands foractual settlers.

CHINESE EXCLUSION LAW.

We f avorthe continuance and strict enforcement of the Clidnese exclusionlaw and its application to the same classes of all Asiatic races.

ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND.

Jefferson said: ' 'Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations,entangling alliances with none."

We approve this wholesome doctrine and earnestly protest against therepublican departure which has involved us in so-called politics, including thediplomacy of Europe and the intrigue and land-grabbing of Asia, and we especi-ally condemn the ill-concealed republican alliance with England, which mustmean discrimination against other friendly nations, and which has alreadystifled the nation's voice while liberty is being strangled in Africa.

SYMPATHY FOR THE BOERS.

Believing in the principles of self-government, and rejecting, as did ourforefathers, the claim of monarchy, we view with indignation the purpose ofEngland to overwhelm with force the South African republics. Speaking, aswe do, for the entire American nation, except its republican officeholders, andfor all free men everywhere, we extend our sympathy to the heroic burghers intheir unequal struggle to maintain their liberty and independence.

REPUBLICAN APPROPRIATIONS.

We denounce the lavish appropriations of recent republican congresses,which have kept taxes high, and which threaten the perpetuation of the oppres-sive war levies.

SHIP-SUBSIDY BILL.

We oppose the accumulation of a surplus to be squandered In such barefaced frauds upon the taxpayers as the shipping subsidy bill, which, under the

232 Iowa Official Register.

false pretense of prospering American shipbuilding, would put unearned millionsinto the pockets of favorite contributors to the republican campaign fund.

REPEAL Off THE WAB TAXES.

We favor the reduction and speedy repeal of the war taxes, and a return tothe time-honored democratic policy of strict economy in governmental expenditures.

CONCLUDING PLl2A TO THE PEOPLE.

Believing that our most cherished institutions are in great peril, that thevery existence of our constitutional republic is at stake, and that the decisionnow to be rendered will determine whether or not our children are to enjoythose blessed privileges of free government which have made the United Statesgreat, prosperous and honored, we earnestly ask for the foregoing declarationof principles the hearty support of the liberty-loving American people, regard-less of previous party affiliations.

PREAMBLE

The national prohibition party, in convention represented, at Chicago, June27 and 28, 1900, acknowledge almighty God as the supreme source of all just

Iowa Official Register. 283

government. Realizing that this republic was founded upon Christian prin-ciples, and can endure only as it embodies justness and righteousness, andassorting that all authority should seek the best good of all the governed, to thisend wisely prohibiting what is wrong and permitting only what is right, herebyrecords and proclaims:

DEFINITION OP PARTY AND ARRAINGMENT1 OF PARTIES.

1. We accept and assert the definition given by Edmund Burke, that ' 'a partyi<» a body of men joined together for the purpose of promoting, by their jointendeavor, the national interest upon pome particular principle upon which theyare all agreed." We declare that there is no principle now advocated by any otherparty which could be made a fact in government with such beneficent moral andmaterial results as the principle of prohibition, applied to the beverage liquortraffic; that the national interest could be promoted in no other way so surelyand widely as by its adoption and assertion through a national policy, and theco-operation therein of every state, forbidding the manufacture, sale, exporta"tion, importation and transportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage pur-poses ; that we stand for this as the only principle proposed by any party any-where for the settlement of a question greater and graver than any other beforethe American people, and involving more profoundly than any other their moralfuture and financial welfare; and that all the patriotic citizenship of this coun-try, agreed upon this principle, however much disagreement there may be asto minor considerations and issues, should stand together at the ballot-box fromthis time forward until prohibition is the established policy of the UnitedStates, with a party in power to enforce it and to insure its moral and materialbenefits.

# We insist that such a party, agreed upon this principle and policy, havingsober leadership, without any obligation for success to the saloon vote and tothose demoralizing political combinations of men and money now allied there-with and suppliant thereto, could successfully cope with all other and lesserproblems of government, in legislative halls and in the executive chair, andthat it is useless for any party to make declarations in its platform as to anyquestions concerning which there may be serious differences of opinion in itsown membership, and as to which, because of such differences, the party couldlegislate only on a basis of mutual concessions when coming into power.

We submit that the democratic and republican parties are alike insincere intheir assumed hostility to trusts and monopolies. They dare not and do notattack the most dangerous of them all, the liquor power. So long as thesaloon debauches the citizen and breeds»the purchasable voter, money will con-tinue to buy its way to power. Break down this traffic, elevate manhood, anda sober citizenship will find a way to control dangerous combinations of capital.

We propose as a first step in the fin mcial problems of the nation to savemore than a billion of dollars every year, now annually expended to supportthe liquor traffic and to demoralize our people. When that is accomplished,conditions will have so improved that with a clearer atmosphere the countrycan address itself to the questions as to the kind and quantity of currencyneeded.

THE ISSUE PRESENTED.

2. We reaffirm as true indisputably the declaration of William Windom,when secretary of the treasury in the cabinet of President Arthur, that ' 'Con-sidered socially, financially, politically or morally, the licensed liquor traffic ia

234 Iowa Official Register.

or ought to be the overwhelming issue in American politics," and that "thedestruction of this iniquity stands next on the calendar of the world's prog,ress." We hold that the existence of our party presents this issue squarely tothe American people, and lays upon them the responsibility of choice betweenliquor parties, dominated by distillers and brewers, with their policy of saloonperpetuation, breeding waste, wickedness, woe, pauperism, taxation, corrup-tion and crime, and our one party of patriotic and moral principle, with apolicy which defends it from dominations by corrupt bosses and which Insuresit forever against the blighting control of saloon politics.

We face with sorrow, shame and fear, the awful fact that this liquor traffichas a grip on our government, municipal, state and national, through therevenue system and saloon sovereignty, which no other party dares to dispute;a grip which dominates the party now in power, from caucus to congress, frompoliceman to president, from the rum shop to the white house; a grip whichcompels the chief executive to consent that law shall be nullified in behalf ofthe brewer, that the canteen shall curse our army and spread intemperanceacross the seas, and that our flag shall wave as the symbol of partnership athome and abroad, between this government and the men who defy and defile itfor their unholy gain.

THE PRESIDENT ARRAIGNED.

8. We charge upon President McKinley, who was elected to his high, officeby appeals to Christian sentiment and patriotism almost unprecedented and by acombination of moral influences never before seen in this country, that, by hisconspicuous example as a wine-drinker at public banquets and as a wine-servinghost in the white house, he has done more to encourage the liquor business, todemoralize the temperance habits of young men, and to bring Christian prac.tices and requirements into disrepute than any other president this republic hasever had. We further charge upon President McKinley responsibility for thearmy canteen, with all its dire brood of disease, immorality, sin and death, inthis country, in Cuba, in Porto Rico and in the Philippines: and we insist thatby his attitude concerning the canteen, and his apparent contempt for the vastnumber of petitions and petitioners protesting against it, he has outraged andinsulted the moral sentiment of this country, in such a manner and to such adegree, as calls for its righteous uprising and his indignant and effective rebuke.

We challenge denial of the fact that'our chief executive, as commander-in-chief of the military forces of the United States, at any time prior to or sinceMarch 2, 1899, could have closed every army saloon, called a canteen, by exec"utive order, as President Hayes in effect did before him, and should have closedthem, for the same reasons which actuated President Hayes; we assert that theact of congress, passed March 2, 1899, forbidding the sale of liquor, "in anypost-exchange or canteen," by any "officer or private soldier" or by "anyother person on any premises used for military purposes in the United States,"was and is as explicit an act of prohibition as the English language can frame;we declare our solemn belief that the attorney-general of the United States inhis interpretation of that law, and the secretary of war in his acceptance ofthat interpretation and his refusal to enfore the law, were and are guilty oftreasonable -Nullification thereof, and that President McKinley, through hisassent to and endorsement of such interpretation and refusal, on the part ofofficials appointed by and responsible to him, shares responsibility in their guilt;and we record our conviction that a new and serious peril confronts our country,In the fact that its president, at the behest of the beer power, dare and does

Iowa Official Register4. 235

abrogate a law of congress, through subordinates removable at will by him andwhose acts become his, and thus virtually confesses that laws are to be admin-istered, or to be nullified in the interest of a law-defying business, by an admin-istration under mortgage to such business for support.

FOREIGN LIQUOR POLIOY CONDEMNED.

4. We deplore the fact that an administration of this republic, claimingthe right and power to carry our flag across seas, and to conquer and to annexnew territory, should admit its lack of power to prohibit the American saloonon subjugated soil, or should openly confess itself subject to liquor sovereigntyunder that flag. We are humiliated, exasperated, and grieved, by the evidencepainfully abundant, that this administration's policy of expansion is bearing sorapidly its first fruits of drunkenness, insanity and crime under the hot-housesun of the tropics; and when the president of the first Philippine commissionsays ' ' It was unfortunate that we introduced and established the saloon thereto corrupt the natives and to exhibit the vices of our race," we charge theInhumanity and unchristianity of this act upon the administration of WilliamMcKinley, and upon the party which elected and would perpetuate the same.*

5. We declare that the only policy which the government of the UnitedStates can of right uphold as to the liquor traffic, under the National Consti-tution, upon any territory under the military or civil control of that govern-ment, is the policy of prohibition; that ' 'to establish justice, insure domestictranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare,and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity," as theConstitution provides, the liquor traffic must neither be sanctioned nor tolerated,and that the revenue policy, which makes our government a partner with dis-tillers and brewers and bar-keepers, is a disgrace to our civilization, an outrageupon humanity, and a crime against God.

We condemn the present administration at Washington because it hasrepealed the prohibitory laws in Alaska, and has given over the partly civilizedtribes there to be the prey of the American grog shop; and because it hasentered upon a license policy in our new possessions by incorporating the same inthe recent act of congress in the code of laws of the government of the Hawaiianislands.

We call general attention to the fearful fact that exportation of liquorsfrom the United States to the Philippine islands increased from $337 in 1898, to$467,198 in the first ten months of the fiscal year ending June 80, 1900; and thatwhile our exportation of liquors to Cuba never reached $30,000 a year previousto American occupation of that island, our exports of such liquors to Cubaduring the fiscal year of 1899, reached the sum of $629,855.

CALL TO MORAL AND CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP.

6. One great religious body (the Baptist) having truly declared of the liquortraffic ' 'that it has no defensible right to exist, that it can never be reformed,and that it stands condemned by its unrighteous fruits as a thing un-Ohristian,un-American, and perilous utterly to every interest in life;" another greatreligious body (the Methodist) having as truly asserted and reiterated that•'no political party has a right to expect, nor should receive, the votes ofChristian men so long as it stands committed to the license system, or refuses toput itself on record in an attitude of open hostility to the saloon," other greatreligion bodies having made similiar diliverances, in language plain and un-

236 Iowa Official Register.

equivocal, as to the liquor traffic and the duty of Christian citizenship inopposition thereto; and the fact being plain and undeiiia 1 that the democraticparty stands for license, the saloon and the canteen, while the republican party,in policy and administration, stands for the canteen, the saloon, and revenuetherefrom,-we declare ourselves justified in expecting that Christian voterseverywhere shall cease their complicity with the liquor curse by refusing touphold a liquor party, and shall unite themselves with the only party whichupholds the proliibition policy, and which for nearly thirty years has been thefaithful defender of the church, the state, the home and the school, against thesaloon, its expanders and perpetuators, their actual and persistent foes.

We insist that no differences of belief, as to any other question or concernof government, should stand in the way of such a union of moral and Christiancitizenship as we hereby invite, for the speedy settlement of this paramountmoral, industrial, financial and political issue, which, our party presents; and werefrain from declaring ourselves upon all minor matters, as to which differencesof opinion may exist, that hereby we may offer to the American peop'e a plat-form so broad that all can stand upon it who desire to see sober citizenshipactually sovereign over the allied hosts of evil, sin and crime, in a governmentof the people, by the people and for the people.

We declare that there are but two parties, to-day, concerning the liquortraffic-perpetuationists and prohibitionist"?; and that patriotism, Christianityand every interest of genuine and of pure democracy, besides the loyal demandsof our common humanity, require the speedy union in one solid phalanx: at theballot box, of all who oppose the liquor traffic's perpetuation, and who covetendurance for this republic.

NATIONAL PLATFORM.

The people's party of the United States, assembled in national conventionthis 10th of May, 1900, affirming our unshaken belief in th<i cardinal tenets ofthe people's party as set forth in the Omaha platform, and pledging ourselvesanew to continued advocacy of those grand principles of human liberty untilright shall triumph over might and love over greed, do adopt and proclaim thisdeclaration of faith:

1. We demand the initiative and referendum and the imperative mandatefor such changes of existing fundamental and statute law as will enable thepeople in their sovereign capacity to propose and compel the enactment of suchlaws as they desire, to reject such as they deem injurious to their interests, andto recall unfaithful public servants.

2. We demand the public ownership and operation of those means of com-munication, transportation and production which the people may elect, such asrailroads, telegraph and telephone lines, coal mines, etc.

3. . The land, including all natural sources of wealth, is a heritage of thepeople and should not be monopolized for speculative purposes, and alien owner-ship of land should be prohibited. All land now held by railroads and othercorporations in excess of their actual needs and all lands now owned by aliensShould be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers only. ^

4. A scientific and absolute paper money, based upon the entire wealth andpopulation of the nation, not redeemable in any specific commodity, but madea full legal tender for all debts and receivable for all taxes and public dues,and issued by the government only, without the intervention of banks, and insufficient quantity to meet the demands of commerce, is the best currency thatcan be devised, but until such a financial system is secured, which we shallpress for adoption, we favor the free and unlimited coinage of both silver andgold at the legal ratio of 16 to 1.

5/ We demand the levy and collection of a graduated tax on incomes andInheritances and a constitutional amendment to secure the same if necessary.

6. We demand the election of president, vice-president, federal judges andUnited States senators by direct vote of the people.

7. We are opposed to trusts, and declare the contention between the oldparties on the monopoly question is a sham battle, and that no solution of thismighty problem is possible without the adoption of the principles of publicownership of public utilities.

NATIONAL PLATFORM.

The socialist labor party of the United States, in convention assembled,reasserts the inalienable right of all men to life, liberty, and the pursuit ofhappiness. •

With the founders of the American republic we hold that the purpose ofgovernment is to secure every citizen in the enjoyment of this right; but inthe light of our social conditions we hold furthermore, that no such right canbe exercised under a system of economic Inequally, essentially destructive oflife, of liberty and of happiness.

With the founders of this republic we hold that the true theory of politics isthat the machinery of government must be owned and controlled by the wholepeople; but in the light of our industrial development we hold, furthermore,that the true theory of economics is that the machinery of production mustlikewise belong to the people in common.

-..To the ^obvious fact that our despotic system of economics is the directopposite of our democratic system of polities, can plainly be traced the exist-ence of a privileged class, the corruption of government by that class, thealienation of public property, public franchises and public functions to thatclass, and the abject dependence of the mightiest of nations upon that class. \

Again, through the perversion of democracy to the ends of plutocracy, laborIs robbed of the wealth which it alone produces, is denied the means of self-em-ployment, and. by compulsory idleness in wage slavery, is even deprived of thenecessaries of life.

Human power and natural forces are thus wasted, that the plutocracy mayrule.

Ignorance and misery, with all their concomitant evils, are perpetuated,that the people may be kept in bondage.

Science and invention are diverted from their humane purpose to theenslavement of women and children.

Against such a system the socialist labor party once more enters its protest.Once more it reiterates its fundamental declaration that private property in thenatural sources of production and in the instruments of labor is the obviouscause of all economic servitude and political dependence.

The time is fast coming when, in the natural course of social evolution, thissystem, through the destructive action of its failures and crises on the onehand, and the constructive tendencies of its trusts and other capitalistic combi-nations on the other hand, shall have worked out its own downfall.

rWo, therefore, call upon the wage workers of the United States, and uponall other honest citizens, to organize under the banner of the socialist laborparty into a class-conscious body, aware of its rights and determined to conquerthem by taking possession of the public powers; so that held together by anIndomitable spirit of solidarity under the most trying conditions of the presentclass struggle, we may put a summary end to that barbarous struggle by theabolition of olasses, the restoration of the land and of all the means of produo-

tion, transportation and distribution to the people as a collective body, and thesubstitution of the co-o erative commonwealth for the present state of planlessproduction, industrial war and social disorder; a commonwealth in whioh everyworker shall have the free exercise and full benefit of his faculties, multipliedby all the modern factors of civilization.

NATIONAL PLATFORM.

The social democratic party of America declares that life, liberty and hap-piness depend upon equal political and economic rights.

In onr econoinio development and Industrial revolution has taken place, theindividual tool of former years having become the social tool of the present.The individual tool was owned by the worker who employed himself and wasmaster of his product. The social tool, the machine is owned by the capitalist

- and the worker Is dependent upon him for employment. The capitalist thusbecomes the master of the worker and is able to appropriate to himself a largeshare of the product of his labor.

Capitalism, the private ownership of the means of production, is responsiblefor the insecurity of subsistence, the poverty, misery and degradation of theevergrowing majority of our people; but the same economic forces which haveproduced and now intensify the capitalistic system will necessitate the adoptionof socialism, the collective ownership of the means of production for the com-mon good and welfare. Je *

The present system of social production and private ownership Is rapidlyconverting society into two antagonistic classes—i. e., the capitalist class andthe propertyless class. The middle class, once the most powerful of this great

16IOR

242 Iowa Official Register.

nation, is disappearing in the mill of competition. The issue is now betweenthe two classes first named. Our political liberty is now of little value to themasses unless used to acquire economic liberty.

Independent political action and the trade union movement are the chiefemancipating factors of the working class, the one representing its political,the other its economic wing, and both must co-operate to abolish the capitalistsystem.

Therefore the social democratic party of America declares its object to be:1. The organization of the working class into a political party to conquer

the public powers now controlled by the capitalists.2. The abolition of wage-slavery by the establishment of a national system

of co-operative industry, based upon the social or common ownership of themeans of production and distribution, to be administered by society in the com-mon interest of all its members, and the complete emancipation of the sociallyuseful classes from the domination of capitalism.

The working class and all those in sympathy with their historic mission torealize a higher civilization should sever connection with all capitalist andreform parties and unite with the social democratic party of America.

The control of political power by the social democratic party will be tanta-mount to the abolition of all class rule.

The solidarity of labor connecting the millions of class-conscious fellowworkers throughout the civilized world will lead to international socialism, thebrotherhood of man.

As steps in that direction we make the following demands :1. Revision of our federal Constitution, in order to remove the obstacles to

complete control of government by the people, irrespective of sex.2. The public ownership of all industries controlled by monopolies, trusts

and combines.8. The public ownership of all railroads, telegraphs and telephones; all

means of transportation and communication; all waterworks, gas and electricplants, and other public utilities.

4. The public ownership of all gold, silver, copper, lead, iron, coal, andother mines, and all oil and gas wells.

5. The reduction of the hours of labor in proportion to the increasingfacilities of production.

6. The inauguration of a system of public works and improvements forthe employment of the unemployed, the public credit to be utilized for thatpurpose.

7. Useful inventions to be free, the inventor to be remunerated by thepublic.

8. Labor legislation to be national, instead of local, and internationalwhen possible.

9. National insurance of working people against accidents, lack of employ-ment and want in old age.

10. Equal civil and political rights, for men and women, and the abolitionof all laws discriminating against women.

11. The adoption of the initiative and referendum, proportional repre-Bcntation, and the right of recall of representatives by the voters.

12. Abolition of war and the introduction of international arbitration.

STATE PLATFORM.

The republicans of Iowa, in convention assembled, congratulate the peopleof state and nation on the results of republican administrations, which have pro-moted the welfare of the entire country In all of its material interests, and havebrought to them prosperity, contentment and happiness.

Iowa republicans especially rejoice in the acknowledged leadership of Iowain the councils of the republican party and its influence in the shaping of poli-tics. We rejoice in the material prosperity of the people of our state, safe-guarded as they have been by the legislation in the interests of the entire bodyof the people.

.*. We commend entirely and without reservation the administration of Presi-dent Roosevelt. Called as he was to the office of chief executive under the mosttrying circumstances, his fidelity to the public welfare, the wisdom and moder-ation of his utterances and counsel, and the performance of all his duties com-mand our respect and admiration.

Iowa republicans, in common with the republicans of the entire nation, ex-pect and desire his unanimous nomination as his own successor.

252 Iowa Official Register.

We congratulate the people of the state that in his cabinet and among hisadviflors, Iowa has such wise, able and judicious statesmen as Secretaries Shawand Wilson.

We also congratulate the people of the state that in the Senate of th«United States our representatives hold positions of the highest character andInfluence; and that our representatives in the lower house of congress occupypositions of foremost place in that body.

The state has had a worthy successor in the distinguished line of chief exec-utives in Governor Albert B. Cummins. His administration merits and de-serves an unqualified approval. We commend his courage, discretion andscrupulous fidelity to duty, and his devotion to the progressive policies of th©republican party inspires our confidence in his political leadership.

We reiterate our faith in the historic policy of protection. Under its in-fluence our country, foremost in the bounties of nature, haa become foremostin production. It has enabled labor to secure good wages and has inducedcapital to engage in production with a reasonable hope of fair reward. Its vin-dication is found in the history of its successes and the rapidity with which ournational resources have been developed and our industrial independence se-cured, and we heartily renew our pledge to maintain it.

Tariff rates enacted to carry this policy into effect should be ' 'just, fairand impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, tosectional discrimination and individual favoritism," and must from time totime be changed to meet the varying conditions incident to the progress of ourindustries and their changing relations to our foreign and domestic commerce.Duties that are too low should bo increased, and duties that are too high shouldbe reduced^ <

We endorse the policy of reciprocity as the natural complement of protec-tion. Reciprocity between nations is trade for mutual advantage and bothaides must give and take. Protection builds up domestic industry and tradeand secures our own markets for ourselves, reciprocity builds up foreign tradeand finds an outlet for surplus.

We approve the treaty with Cuba recently ratified as conferring substan-tial benefits upon both countries and urge that the remaining steps necessaryto make it effective be promptly taken.

We believe that the large corporations commonly called • trusts" should beBO regulated and supervised both in their organization and operation that theirevil tendencies may be checked and their evil practices prevented. In manyinstances they are efficient industrial instruments and the natural outcome ofan inevitable process of economic evolution. We do not desire their destruc-tion, but insist that they shall be so regulated and controlled as to preventmonopoly and promote competition, and in the fullest measure subserve andadvance the public good. The patriotic and resolute course of the President ofthe United States in his recomendations to congress upon this subject and uponthe related subject of the further regulation of interstate commerce com-mands our confidence and admiration, and the recent legislation of congress inharmony with his recommendations meets our heartv approval.

« We renew oar allegiance to the principle of the gold standard as enunciatedin the national platforms of the republican party in 1896 and 1900, which re-sulted in the establishment of the parity of all our money and the stability ofour currency on a gold basis. r

Under republican administration of national affairs gratitude to our sol-diers and sailors has been attested by liberal pensions provided by legislation

Iowa Official Register. 253

•npported always by the nearly unanimous votes of the republicans In con-gress. We recommend the further provision for this purpose as made by thelast congress. ^

We favor the systematic establishment of good roads in this state, and suchfurther legislation upon that subject as investigation and experience may es-tablish as requisite to the economical and effective improvement and mainten-ance of our country roads.

We recommend to the general assembly further legislation in aid of system-atic drainage.

We note with satisfaction the gradual improvement of conditions in.our re-lations with the Philippine islands under an administrative policy, avoiding thenecessity for control through military power, and we commend the steady prog-ress made in the preparation of the Philippine people for the fullest practicaldegree of self-government.

The essence of free government is government by law. Laws must be en-forced by the government and should be cheerfully obeyed by the people. Thespirit of lawlessness wherever met must be rebuked and we commend the fidel-ity and zeal of the national and state officials wherever exercised for the vindi-cation of this principle.

That we are earnestly opposed to all legislation designed to accomplish th«disfranchisement of citizens upon lines of race, color, or station in life, andcondemn the measures adopted by the democratic party in certain states ofthe union to accomplish that end.

Believing with the late President McKinley in his last public utterance that' 'expositions are the timekeepers of progress," we take pride in endorsing theexposition to be held in St Louis in 1904, celebrating the Louisiana Purchase,and approve of liberal appropriations therefor. We commend to the carefulconsideration of the general assembly of the state the needs of Iowa in makinga creditable exhibit.

The state convention met at Des Moines, June 24, 1903.Temporary Chairman—How. J. H. QUICK, of Sioux City.Permanent Chairman—RON. D. W. HJLMTLTON, of Sigourney.

STATE PLATFORM.

We, the chosen representatives of the democratic party in Iowa, in dele-gate convention assembled, hereby declare anew our faith in the fundamentalprinciples of the democratic party and renew our allegiance thereto.

We find much in the domestic affairs of the nation that ought to bechanged. The tariff policy, originally adopted for the avowed purpose of rais-ing revenue to meet the enormous burdens of the civil war, has been turned touse of individual and class interests until it has become the creator of countlessunearned fortunes and the shelter of huge combinations of capital, organizedin the form of trusts, which are strangling competition in many of our indus-tries, destroying individual effort, crushing ambition largely in every line ofindustry and already acquiring power which enables them to dictate in theirown interests the prices of labor and raw material and the cost of transportationof finished products.

As the most alarming features of our present conditions are the evils whichcome from trusts, and as these, evils are made possible by legislation favoringone class and against another by transportation privileges and by monopoly oforiginal sources of supply of natural products, therefore, to the end that thecrlls connected with the growth of trusts may be eliminated, we demand thatall tariff schedules be adjusted with a view to a tariff for revenue only.

Iowa Official Register. 255

We ask for such changes in oar law, statutory or constitutional, as willlimit the charges by railroads to such an amount as will yield only a reasonablereturn on the capital actually invested and will render it impossible for trans-portation favors to be granted to anyone and such as will make certain that allrailway patrons will be treated alike, such statutes to provide penalties thatwill be effectual to secure a compliance with them.

When the sources of supply of any product are in the ownership of thosewho combine to extort from the people an unreasonable amount for such prod-ucts, then we believe it is the duty of the government to take such steps asmay be necessary to secure an equitable distribution thereof with fair compen-sation to the owners of the same. And so that the design of nature in makingprovision for the wants of man may not be perverted into means for hisoppression.

The fundamental principle of democracy, "equal rights to all and specialprivileges to none," applies in full force to the subject of taxation. The demo-cratic party believes that the burden of taxation should be borne equally by alltaxable property and pledge our members of the General Assembly to formu-late and urge the adoption of such laws as will compel the burdens of taxationto rest on corporation and individual property alike without favor to orexemption to any interest.

We are unalterably opposed to the policy of imperalism by this governmentInstituted, fostered, and maintained by the republican party. And we demandthat our government 6hall declare it to be its purpose, and without delay adoptsuch measures as shall give to the people of the Philippine Islands and PortoRico their inalienable right to self-government.

We condemn the republican party for its financial policies which wouldfoist upon the country an unstable currency based upon uncertain privatesecurities.

We protest against the plan p' esented in the Aldrich bill recently beforethe United States Senate by which the money of the nation shall be loaned tocapitalists upon the bonds and securities of private corporations as an effort togive value and stability to watered bonds and securities of corporations andtrusts, many of which are maintaining monopolies in defiance of law and pub-lic sentiment.

We insist that the integrity of the money of the nation be guarded withjealous care and demand that it shall be sufficient in volume to meet the needsof the business interests of the country, and that it shall be safe-guarded bycareful legislation so as to prevent the gamblers of Wall street from corneringthe money market, thus inflicting untold injury upon the smaller businessmen, the farmers and the laborers of the land.

We point with pride to the one hundredth anniversary of the achievementsof that great diplomat and democratic statesman, Thomas Jefferson, underwhose administration the Louisiana territory, of which Iowa was a part, wassecured from a foreign power in a peaceful and civilized way, without the lossof life, yet with the consent of the governed.

In the great exposition to be held in St. Louis in 1904, to properly commem-orate this event, the people of Iowa should take a prominent part and make acreditable exhibit of the products of the soil and the work of the crafts.

We deplore the corrupt condition of the government service in thepostofficedepartment and demand a thorough investigation of that and other depart-ments by a congressional oommittee, publicity as to such conditions and pun-ishment of all wrong-doers.

256 Iowa Official Register.

We declare our unqualified opposition to the priuciple of government byinjunction.

We renew'our demand for the election of United State3 Senators by directvote of the people.

We demand economy in the administration of state affairs, repeal of themulct law and the enactment of a local option law.

We demand the contracting for supplies for the state with lowest respon-sible bidders.

In the interest of the much needed improvement of public roads, we favorstate aid in the building of permanent highways.

>STATE PLATFORM.

The prohibition party of Iowa, in convention assembled at Marshalltown,on the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth days of May, 190H, recognizing theauthority of Almighty God in the affairs of men, puts forth the following deo-larations:

1. We believo that the federal government, by raising a large part of itsrevenue by taxation of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors, makesitself "particeps orimimV' in the infamous business, and we insist that ourgovernment should go out of this unnecessary and vicious partnership, andcease thiB ungodly practice. We believe that it is the first duty of the state andnation to forever prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors as abeverage, because the liquor traffic is the most fruitful source of ignorance,poverty, political corruption and crime in existence. We demand its absoluteoverthrow, and we believe that the work can be accomplished only by a po-litical party crystallized around the doctrine and committed to its enforcementas recent events through the country have testified.

2. We declare in favor of equal suffrage, regardless of sex, race or color.8. Since mulct means fine or penalty paid in advance for the commission of

a crime, therefore we reaffirm our positive disapproval of the ' ' Martin MulctLaw," and demand its repeal and the speedy resubmission of a prohibitory con-stitutional amendment to the popular vote of the people.

4. Since inebriates are the products of the saloon, and asylums have beenestablished in which to treat them at the expense of the state, therefore wedemand that all taxos and moneys collected from saloons by the state, county orcity be used to bear the expenses for the treatment of said inebriates and themaintenance of said asylums

5. We demand the enforcement of all lawa and that officials who disregardtheir solemn obligations in this respect shall be removed from office.

6. We believe that next in importance to the Liquor question is the prob-lem of marriage and divorce and we advocate the enactment into national lawthe statute on this subject prescribed Ly Jesus of Nazareth permitting divorceonly for the cause stated by Him.

7. We favor the settlement of all controversies between capital and laborby arbitration and all international differences that cannot be settled by diplo-macy should be referred to The Hague Court.

8. We favor placing our trade relations with foreign countries in the hand9of a competent commission, non-partisan in character, with authority to revisethe tariff schedules as necessity demands.

9. We declare for the Inauguration of the initiative and referendum.10. We favor the election of United States Senators by a direct vote of the

people.

STATE PLATFORM.

We, the socialists of the state of Iowa, in delegate convention assembled atDesMoines, July 4, 1903, declare our allegiance to the principles of internationalsocialism and endorsement of the platform of the socialist party of the UnitedStates.

We define wealth to be the creation of labor applied to the resources of theearth, and capital to be the accumulated portion of wealth used to create morewealth.

Capital, therefore, being primarily the product of the labor of society as awhole, society has the supreme right to its disposal.

We, therefore, declare our purpose to acquire the ownership of capitalrepresented by the mines, machinery and all means of production and distri-bution, and relieve society from the reign of > arter or competitive industry,inaugurating a distribution of the necessities, luxuries and opportunities pro-duced, based upon the labor contributed by the individual.

As all laws or regulations of industry by the government are the creationof society expressing their ideas and conception of individual principles,society may and will change these laws and regulations to meet the emergen-cies that arise.

Therefore, society may create laws to conform to the most scientific andsystematic means of producrion and the most just methods of distribution. Itis, therefore, our declared purpose as members of organized labor and theproducing and working class, to acquire through the power of our unitedbaliOts the entire control of government in ail its offices and functions.The courts, the laws, the military and all the powers of government will beused as a means to secure for society their national rights and to protect themtherein and in the end to establish through the power so gained the co-operativecommonwealth.

In the division of labor the work of the farmers has gone slowly butsurely into the city until they sell to and buy from the large organizations ofcapital on their own terms, placing them on a footing with labor. We callupon them to organize and secure for themselves the advantages, privilegesand opportunities to which their wenlth should entitle them, and whichsociali m can alone give. To this end we ask every member of o. ganized labor,every wage earner and producer in the state of Iowa whose interests areidentical to join us in the struggle.
