Iowa Electors At Large Shift From Boies to Two Quiet Citizens
Four years after Horace Boies and General James B. Weaver led Iowa electors at large, the field narrows to two inconspicuous citizens. The Democratic party in Iowa suffers from anti imperialist leanings. Reports from the Minneapolis Tribune describe farm labor shortages in the Dakotas, with Sioux Falls farmers hiring canvasmen from a circuses for harvest. North Dakota crops face labor gaps as the Populist movement wanes. The Canton News Democrat notes Robert W. Taylor’s distancing from geography while remaining a Republican candidate. Democratic congressmen in the Eighteenth district drift away from politics amid debates over imperialism and free silver. Senator Stewart of Nevada, once a free silver advocate and Republican founder, shifts stance amid currency debates. China’s Beijing departure and possible delay in policy emerge as the Chinese government relocates to a defensible position, with diplomats seeking peace. London Times praises American locomotive and manufacturing prowess, while United States goods gain price and quality advantages over England. Washington awaits Conger and Chaffee reports before shaping policy, as anti administration voices call for swift action in China.
