The unfair war made on superir

The unfair war made on Superinten.
dent Repass is uncalled for and is
made by few only and by them for
pers onal reasons. The schools of this
county are in excellent condition and
the condition has been largely con-
tributed to by Prof. Repass. His
thorough acquaintance with teachers
and schools is valuable. His honor
and integrity and splendid qualifica-
tions are admitted by all except few
who desire his defeat for personal
reasons. He has administered his
duties impartially. To turn off good
employe because he has experience
and secure one in his place because he
hasn't had experience, is a rule that
would not be followed in any other
business and is not often done in edu-
cational matters. 1t surely should
not be done in this case.

The Democratic Campaign.

The Des Moines Register thus records
the wabblings of the Iowa democrats
in their journeying through the wider
ness:
The democrats started out on nation
al issues and dropped them.
Then they teok up state issues, and
dropped them because their talk would
not scour.
They denounced injunctions, and
then sought by injunction to keep the
middle-of-the-road populists from the
official ballot.
They clamored for free speech in the
President Andrews case and then for
chilly suppressed Horace Boies because
he was not radical OH free silver.
They plead for clern campaign and
then entered on series of personal at
tacks on L. M. Shaw, printing tens of
thousands of circulars in which he is
called a "hypocrite," "usurer" and gen.
eral civilian"
They have sown the wind and on the
second of November they will reap the
WhirlWind.

The Advocate says its candidate for
county superintendent was also an in.
structor in the "NatiOnal Normal Col
lege" in addition to what district
school work we gave him credit for
last week. and that he is highly ell
dOrsed by Prof. Essiey, its head in
structOr. From the size of the
name of that institution we
should judge it was great place of
learning. We hear, however, that Prof.
Essley is running for county superin-
tendent in his county, and we surmise
that the name of the institution and
the fact that one or two have been
co nnected with it who now aspire to
be county superintendent, are the
things for which it is most noted.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1897-10-28

Some times there are stories sprung
against candidates at the very last OF
a campaign in order that the truth
cannot be learned by the public before
election. The use Of these rOorbacks
is as disreptuabe campaigning rs can
be INDUCED in. In nine cases out of
ten these ELEVENTH hour stories are false.
They are intended to deceive and are
used so late they cannot be refuted.
We do not think any will be used in
this county this year, but if they
should be we hope they will react
against those who use them. Beware
of the roorback.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1897-10-28

No republican can afford to do any.
thing this year but vote his straight
party ticket. That is the most honor
able thing to do under the circum
stances. Fiat means vote for the
principles the party stands for, for
sound money, for protection and for
returning prosperity, as well as for
the candidates on the republican tick
ct. When you fail to vote for any of
the party nominees you detract just
that much from the influence of your
vote. Then the republi-
can nominees are all honorable men
aud worthy of the offices to which
they have been nominated. If you
are a republican you cannot afford to
refuse to vote it straight. There is
in it and policy in it. Stand
by your principles and your party.

cate in Nebraska because OF having fin
ished the course Of study in the state
normal school there, and getting her
state certificate in Iowa recently largely
because OF having Nebraska state GER
titicate. The system by which grad
uate Of a normal school can get first
class certificate without an examinations
may he wrong. We rather think it is.
But we would not therefore favor an.
other wrong and give graduates OF those,
schools first. class county certificates
without examination, especially as the
law does not provide for such action.
This the Advocate would seem to favor.
We think Prof. Repass' action in grad
ing the applicant on her examination
the same ns other applicants will surely
he endorsed by the voters
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1897-10-28

The Advocate gives as reason that
Prof. Repass should not be reelected
county superintendent that he failed to
give certain young lady first class
certificate. II the public learns the
facts Prof. Repass will not suffer in the
least by having that question in the cam.
paign. Prof. Repass had nothing at all
upon which to Judge Of her qualfca-
tions and her right to first class certi-
ficate except her examination before
him. That she failed was not his fault.
That he acted Justly and in the only
way he could honorably act is evident
from an examination of her manuscript
now in his Office. When the Advocate
assumes that Prof. Repass graded the
manuscript wrong it bases it's assump-
ton on ignorance of facts. CoDcerning
the state certificates, it is shown that
the lady never had complete examina-
ton for state certificate either in Ne
braska or Iowa, getting her state certii-

The democrats who are running the
campaign for their party in this county
have seemed from the start to center
their hopes on the election Of two candi-
dates, sheriff and superintendent. AS
time for election approaches and their
cause becomes more desperate they will
likely try to trade the other places on
their ticket for votes for Jones and
Spencer. Some of them have appar-
emily given up hope of these places and
are devoting their energies to elect
ing democratic representative. Repub-
licans should beware. They need do no
trading. If they stay by their ticket
and attend the polls and vote, they will
elect the whole republican ticket by
good maiorities. Do no trading. Vote
the ticket straight.

shown himself to be able to discuss the
silver question and its relation to the
other economic questions of the country
with clearness and ability. He has
shown that he has IA comprehensive and
analytical mind He has drawn large
aud ences and the people have been mere
than pleased with him. Instead OF
listening to the volumes of personal
abuse that have been flung at him, he
has gone right on discussing the ques-
tions at Issue between the p,rties and
doing it with such sig III ability that o
has won the attention and admiration Of
the people of Iowa as we'll as much
favorable comment in other states. He
appeals to reason and carries conviction.

licanism, sound money and prosperity.

Does any one suppose that the plu-
rality in Iowa can drop materially with
ont disturbing pubic confidence
throughout the length and breadth of
the nation? Does amy one suppose
that the cause of free silver can make
a show OF increasing vitality in Iowa
without checking every enterprise, dis
couraging investments, and casting a
doubt aud dread upon every line of
business? Who will dare build fac.

form by $4,000 it would, in my opinion,
so demonstrate the fact that the coun-
try has nothing so fear from the
disturbing elements which shook us
in the years between 1898 and 1897,
from center to circumference, that we
would enter at once upon period of
unequaled prosperity. The times are
big with possibilities, and nothing but
returning distrust and apprehension
can check the marvellous activities
along all lines, the beginning of which
we do now both see and feel.-Leslie
M. Shaw.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1897-10-28

Democrats claim times are no better
tn an last year, and that their doctrines
of last year are indicated. Republicans
point to commercial reports to show the
volume of business transacted now is
greater than ever before, that business
failures are less than ever before since a
record was kept, and that one million
more people are now employed in COM
mercial, industrial, transportation and
agricultural pursuits than were employed
one year ago. They claim this improved
condition is caused principally by the
enactment of tariff law and the conf
dence the business world has that our
m oney will remain good. In spite Of
large amounts of produce carried over
from the years of democratic hard times,
Iowa products are much higher than a
year ago. If the free silver heresy is
again overwhelmingly defeated we will
h ave fairly entered on period of great
prosperity. Let Audubon county do its
share in this most praisworthy work.

are very limited, while others do not
admitting seeing what is very plain to
all. The demopops will not admit that
they see any more prosperity in the
country now than existed one year ago.
They shut their eyes to the reports of

ports of one year ago with those of to-
day. Political prejudice is more blind

pass covering over three hundred miles,
for F. E. White. The company in
quired Of their local Office at the town
where the newspaper is located whether
any person named T. f. White was
connected with a newspaper there.
The answer was that the only F. e..
White known near there was the demo-
cratic candidate for governor. Mr..
White made the trip covered by the re-
quested pass, but he did not have edi-
torial transportation. The Capital
