FRANK HATTON DEAD.

1t is with the deepest sorrow that
Iowa hears the news of the death of
Frank Hatton. The brilliant editor
and politician was one Of Iowa's own.
1t was here that his career began and
as a resident of an eastern city he still
belonged to the Hawkeye state.
Frank Hatton's work in Iowa began
as editor of the Mt. Pleasant Journal
and later of the Burlington Ha,ckeye
and under his management the HGaol.
eye made its reputation. The Chicago
Mail and New York Press commanded
his talents, and his last paper, the
Washington Post, was, by the ability
of the man, made brilliant success.
Hatton's public service began In the
army, he was postmaster of Mt. Pleas
ant, postmaster of Burlington and later
assistant postmaster general. Hi
death removes one Of the nations mos
noted editors. Iowa's loss is great, in
that his work has made the stat
known and honored.

didate for appointment to the district
Judgeship made vacant by the eleva.
ton of Judge Deemer to the supreme

thirty seven years Of age and has prac
ticed law thirteen years, seven years In
this county, and is leading member
of the bar. He is gentleman of edu
cation and ability, very popular and
well qualified to fill the Office. The bal
and county officers give Mr.. Greer
their support, to man, and his ap
pointment could not fail to give uni
versal satisfaction.

THE AUDUBON REPUBLICAN.
BY ). q. GRIFFITH.

THIS week THE REPUBLICAN
greets its readers in new form.
In technical language, we have
changed frem an eight column folio
to a six column quarto, that is, the old
shape was four pages with eight col
umns to the page; the new shape 10
eight pages with six columns to the
page. We make this change hoping
thereby to please all our old friends
and to gain many new ones. There
has been a feeling among number of
our patrons that the space given to
reading matter was not what it should
be. The new arrangement gives more
room and will, we trust, give good sat
isfaction. The change necessarily en-
tails more labor, but we gladly do the
work in the hope that it will please all
We shall continue the endeavor to give
all the local happenings together with
such county and neighborhood news
as will be of interest to our readers.

WHAT purpoIts to be an actual
count of the commonweal armies,
shows II, $50 men banded in this crazy
cause. What good they can do them
selves or the cause of labor no one is
able to say. The sentiment raised in
favor of the armies is ebbing al
most as fast as it rose. And the feel
ing is becoming more and more gen.
eral, that some means should be used
for disbanding these mobs. Though
they have been peaceable as long as
fed and helped along, they would
doubtless help themselves If they so
elected. The menace on any COM
munity occasioned by their presence is
in itself sufficient reason for the dis,
enlargement of any more Coxey bust.
ness. The armies should be scattered
before more serious trouble comes
from their foolish action.

THE republican press throughout the
the district is favoring the renomina-
ton of Congressman Hager. Mr..
Hager has given the ninth district good
and honorable representation and de-
serves the denomination he will surely
receive. To become influential and
useful, member must remain in con-
gress some time and a constituency
usually receives better representation
from an old and tried member than
from one new to his duties. Mr.. Hager
has attained position of prominence
in the house and can and will serve III
well. Let him be renominated by oil

THE republicans of the Ninth dis
trict are making very nearly unani-
nous motion for the denomination
and election of Congressman Hager, of
Greenfield. Mr.. Hager has made fine
record, but his greatest strength is in
his personality, as he has q happy way
of meeting and knowing his constitu
ents, every one of whom is ready to die
in the ditch for him. Hager is strong
with the people and his return to con-
gress is one of the sure things Of the
next campaign.-Creston Gazette.
