A Leading Republican Paper in
Southeastern Iowa Abandons
IT. Party Candidate.
The Fremont County Herald, one
Of the strongest republican papers in
southwestern Iowa and paper
strongly opposed to ring rule, corpor-
atoms and monopolies Of all kinds,
has come out for Governor Boies.
The Herald appeared to-day with the
following in double-headed editor.
ial under the heading: ''Our politics
favors an honest democrat in prefer
ence to a prohibition republican. !"
Following this the Herald says:
1.-THE Herald SO far during the cam
paign has held itself aloof from state
politics and has devoted its energies
to issues local and pertaining to this
county. We had hoped the rspubli-
cans Of Iowa would profit by their
experience two years ago when the
railroad lawyer, Hutchinson, was
nominated, and which brought with
it only merited rebuke in q crush.
ing and humiliating defeat. The
Herald politically at no time has ever
been for Gov. Boies. hoping that our
old party would give US clean good
man for whom we could throw up
our hat and work with a will. Such
however, they failed to do, and we
promptly and without hesitation re.
pudiated Hiram c. Wheeler and have
patiently gone through this campaign
watching the various parties and
their movements, undecided what
course we should pursue. We be
lieve Mr.. Wheeler to be the plan,
tool of the corporations, trusts and
combines, and their candidate In
fact. We have made the Herald an
honest laborer in behalf of the farm
ers to whom we look for support, and
have left no stone unturned to ait
their cause. We read with pride tn
great speech of Governor Boies made
in New York, wherein he had tn,
manliness and courage to speak thu
truth regarding the condition Of low
farmers. His figures then given wer
based upon statistics carefully com
piled from practical farmers ant
farmers alliances and have since beer
repeatedly verified by them, yet thi
famous speech has been most bitterl!
denounced and foully maligned b.
the subsidized republican press o
not only this state but Throughout
the nation. Yet this every utteranc,
was the truth. That Governor Boie,
is not the candidate of the railroads
but true friend Of the people il
clearly proven to US by the fact tina
