The men who now control Iowa polities got their political positions by debauching the State with Wall Street money. which culminated in the celebrated Burlington convention. In my ward. a respectable residence district. they packed the caucus with over 200 Illiterate foreigners. men who could not speak the English language. We carried the caucus. however. by defeating a resolution for a ballot. and these foreigners could not understand the English language and therefore could not vote viva voce. I dont think a dozen of them were naturalized citizens. There was not efficient management to handle the other caucuses and they carried the State against Wilson. Now these men. who are known to represent corporations and liquor interests. have absolute control in Iowa.
