FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8. 1913.


rtory. All that federal ingenuity could devise,
was brought to operate against us, in thd elec-
ton of our candidate for Representative. but
to no purpose. A few Democrats were indu-
ced to throw away their votes upon others, but
a sufficient number remained to carry him thro'
triumphantly.
The official returns have not yet been open
ed, but enough is known to enable US to state
the result, with certainty. The official returns
will be published in our next.

csved, in this county, majority of about 30,

she gives Dodge majority of3, and.has cleo

have received about half that majority. The
majori,ies of the Democratic candidates for
the House were from 10 to 20 less. The To-
wa City Standard reports the wing be from As
to IS ahead.
We have nothing defuite from Henry, but

time to prepare fair and impartial account of
the matter.

last paper. Ungrateful to those Democrats
who voted for and elected Hebard and Grimes.
ne comes out salty on those wings who, hav-
ing the good Of their country more at hear
than the success Of the wing party, voted for
Gen. Dodge. After lauding those wings who
took an active part on the day of the election,
to induce the people to vote the wing ticket,
he says:
:" But what shall we say, what can we say,
of those timid, time-serving, and faithless men.

wing measures, secretly sided with their dead
