NOM tn VnTE

We have had by person and letter so
many inquiries regarding the new law
that We have tried to relieve it of its
useless Verblage and get 1t down to
something terse and plain. The tickets
are printed with circle at the left of
the names of the parties, and square
at the left of the names of the candi-
dates, all the tickets and the names OF
all the candidates being on the same
ticket.
Now II you want to vote a straight
ticket, say the ticket everybody ought
to vote, the Republican, all you need
to do is to put cross like this X in the
circle at the left of the word Republi-
can, which counts the ballot for all the
candidates on the Republican ticket
from top to bottom. That is all you
need to do, IL you vote the ticket
straight. ..-
If you want to vote for the Republi-
can ticket but for one or more names
on one Of the other tickets simply make
the cross opposite the word Republican
and then make a cross in the square
standing in front of the names Of the
candidates you desire to vote for, not
marking anything of. Do not scratch
any name OF Of any ticket.
II your choice Is mixed ticket omit
the cross in the circle opposite the
names Of all parties and indicate your
choice of candidates by cross in the
square to the left OF each name you
wish to vote for on any OF the tickets.
This is plain enough for any voter
to understand, and is all there Is in 1t.
We admonish all, however, not to omit
the cross In the circle opposite the
word Republican. That will make the
job of voting easy, and also will insure
good government on American prin-
ciples for the people for another four
years.

The Republican party carried Fl the

that has been held by any party in this
county for years. An unusually strong,
clear ticket was nominated. all but two

Iowa FRosTs.-rhe average time for
killing frosts in Iowa for the lest forty
years is September 20. so that If we
have the usual weather from this time
on, there will be plenty OF sound corn.
and IL it holds off till the dates of
latest fr0sts. about the last days of Oc-
tober, there is plenty of time for the
softest corn to ripen. In this connec-
tion 1t Is we'll to remember the yield of
crops in 1890. when We passed through
such hot dry spell in July and August.
1t was regarded as one of the worst
years ever experienced. but Iowa pro-
duced 2S9.000.O00 bushels of corn, IL
397 COO bushels of oats, 2,979 O8l bush
els of fax, 1882. 900 bushels of pota-
toes, % 1l4.0O0 bushels of wheat, 4 99I,-
600 tons of hay, and over $4,000 600
worth of poultry products. There is
no danger of famine in state with
record like that. The first frosts of
the fall as noted at the central weather
station at Des Moines, since 1873. are

Republican CamUaigu Principles.

The Republican national platform
was quite lengthy and it is little Diff
hcult sometimes to pick out of cam
paign planks just what they really de-
clare for. This is what the platform
stands for when boiled down to the
briefest explicit statement Of it:
We believe in the American doctrine
| of protection.
We believe that articles, except lux
uries, which cannot be produced in the
United States, should be admitted free
Of duty.
We demand that on all imports com.
peting with the products of American
labor, duties should be levied equal to
the difference between wages at home
and abroad.
We ask the people to pronounce a
verdict upon the cowardly course of
the democrats in attacking the tariff
piecemeal.
We believe in reciprocity, which has
opened new markets for the prod ucts
of the workshop and the farm.
We believe in the use Of both gold
and silver money.
We demand that every dollar, wheth.
er Of gold, silver or paper shall be equal
to every other dollar.
We believe in an international con.
ference to secure parity of gold and
silver throughout the world.
We demand that every citizen, rich
or poor, native or foreign born, white
or black, shall be permitted to cast one
ballot and have it counted as he cast it
We propose to keep on fighting till
we have honest elections In every state
We favor the revival of our foreign
commerce in American ships.
| We demand navy to protect ouT
interests and maintain the honor OF
our flag.
We demand that arbitrary combina-
tions of capital to control trade condi-
tions shall be rigidly regulated.
We believe in the wise and consist
ent civil service reform.
We believe In admitting all the ter
ritortes to the union as soon as they are
qualified for entrance.
We re-afilrm the Monroe doctrine.
We demand the restriction of Grim
inai, pauper and contract immigration
We demand that the employees OF
railroads, mines and factories, shall bt
protected against all needless dangers
We sympathize with the oppressed
in every land.
We demand freedom of speech and
of the press.
We believe in popular education.
We favor the construction and con-
troll Of the Nicaragua canal by Ameri
cans.
We sympathize with all Legitimate
efforts to promote temperance and
morality.
We pledge to the loyal veterans oi
the war Of the union the recognition
that is theirs by right.
We are proud Of President Harrison'e
magnificent administration.
And we propose to give the country
another administration just as good FOL
the next four years.

hour and fifteen minutes, holding the
closest attention from his hearers, full

He repeated many OF the democratic
prophecies OF two years ago, and gave
the facts of today to show their alb.
surdities. he said he was anxious to
meet Fred White in the campaign and
jointly discuss the issues, but that4 Mr..
White had declined preferring to go
about the district all alone by himself
to tell the truth with no)One at bis
elbow to nudge him. Mr.. Lscsy evaded
none Of the issues, and stated the Re.

White today. They have been looking
up figures with which to oil their can
didate and prove that tin is higher
now than before the Mckinley law
went into effect. Msjlr Lacey left
list of questions for MT. White to an
swer, among them being these:
If we had absolute free trade
how would you raise the revenue
to carry on the government 2
Are you in favor of restoring
the tax on sugar!
Are you in favor of the sub
treasury plan !
Are you in favor of the land
loan scheme and government rail
waysl
Are you in favor of the limited
coinage of silver at the present
ratio, or do you favor change of
ratio first
1t will be amusing to hear Mr.. White
attempt to answer these questions.
Mr.. White refused to meet the Major
on the stump. His friends also refus-
ed to permit him to precede MIR. Lacey
here on the politics days at the fair.
At Grinnell the Democrats had the last
day, and so by agreement between the
president Of the fair, Democrat, the
chairman Of the Democratic commit
tee and the chairman of the Republi-
can committee. it was arranged that
Mr.. Lacey should have the last day
here. But the local Democrats raised
such howl and proclaimed that un-
less MIR White was given the last day
he should not come at all.
