James, George G.. Cox or Q. p. I'm
derwood is equivalent to voting for
a United States Senator.
II Crawford will pledge himself to
vote for Republican u. S. Senator
then give him the desired "home en-
doTsement." Otherwise % not.
IT seems inevitable that Jesse p.
Smoker will be elected district at.
torney, and no one who knows him
can doubt that he will prove one of
the best, and most faithful legal ad-
visers ever chosen for this or any
other county. "No favor can sway
him, and no fear can awe"
The break-ranks soldier and poll
tician who aims to furnish rays of
light for the Dodgevile Star has
eclipsed the whole Democratic frma-
ment through the lack of civil cour-
tesy and truthful comment. The
bitter TRADE against Mr.. Spooner is
all the evidence required. 1t is a
bundle of unmerited abuse, and the
people are not blind to the fact.
A LEADING Democrat remarked
to VIM. a. Owens and Tom Colds.
worthy, two manned veterans, when
they called on him last week, al
though they had not asked him to
vote for them, ''Well, you are moth
ing but government paupers, and
the government ought to provide a
place to keep you in" He was a
sympathetic (?) cuss.
DEMOCRATS have circulated a
story that Matthew J. Tappins, Re
publican candidate for clerk Of the
court, is ineligible by being under
age. This is utterly false. Mr.. L.
is of full age, and has the qualifica-
tions to make'a superior court clerk.
He is a school teacher by profession,
and a successful one In all respects
he is most excellent young man.
THE Democrats are flooding Grant
county with Republican tickets with
the electoral ticket containing the
initials only of the electors first
name For instance: Instead of
John Smith they have j. Smith.
This has been declared illegal by
the courts and such votes thrown
out. We have every reason to be-
lieve that such tickets are being cir
culated in Iowa county. Voter,
watch out for them.
THE Democratic papers of Dodge
vile continue to wrangle over the
county printing. After the first of
January those ''reformers" will have
nothing to quarrel about if the peo-
pie do their duty next Tuesday, and
elect Republicans to the county of
fees, who will manage the county
printing and other county matters in
the interest of the people, without
reference to whether this or that
printer is benefited thereby.
WE have heard Of some Demo
Gratis and Prohibitionists who intend
to vote for Blaine and Logan, and
the remainder of their own party
ticket. While we would advise
them TO vote the entire Republican
ticket, we want to suggest that in
voting for Blaine and Logan that it
is not sufficient to simply scratch
the names of Cleveland and Hen
bricks, or st. John and Daniels, but
the names Of tie electors must be
erased and those for Blaine and Lo-
gan put on. Remember this.
THE Dodgeyille Star disgraces
itself by its assaults upon the two
battle scared veterans, w. A.
Owens and T. NJ. Goldsworthy. 1t
sets up that they being pensioners
of the Government, ought not to be
candidates for public office, but
should be content to live upon their
pensions What do the loyal peo-
of Iowa eounty-Republicans, Dem
ocrats and Prohibitionists-think Of
that? Let them answer next Tues
Cay.
THERE is no county Office of more
Importance than that Of Superintend-
