LA VENGANzA DE UN NOBLE
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1897-10-14

We are surprised at the Advocate
publishing in its last weeks issue those
two statements claimed by some to
have been made by Hon. L. Nj. Shaw,
one, in effect, that he would sooner
vote to disrupt the government than to
vote for Bryan, and the other that he
considered the common people no
more fit to vote on the financial ques-
ton than his black horse. In the first
place such statements are very unlike
" to be made by any sane man. In the
second place they have been denied and
we supposed sufficiently disproven to
satisfy the most skeptical. 1t is gen.
erally regarded that those who use
such personal attacks on candidates do
so when they are short of real argu.
ment. We do not think that these
personal attacks harm those against
whom they are made any more the
those who use them, if as much. =
notice that most of the better d en-
cratic papers are not using their 4, pr
ferring to conduct the campo .ign q
the principles involved, and 6 .ssumir
that both Shaw and White a, ,e hone
able men.

business. Mr.. Byers' presence here re-

over the speakership. Mr.. Cornwall

leading candidates, although Mr..

THE NEW BALLOT LAWS.
Some of, the Changes Made In the
Election Laws.

The legislature last winter made a
few important changes in our laws that
govern the elections. The most i'm
portant of these changes should be un-
derstood by each voter so that fewer
may lose their votes by reason of mis-
takes.
Under the new law the polls must
open at 7 o'clock a. m. and close at 6p.
IN. Under the old law the polls could,
by proclamation of the judges, be kept
open till p. M, and this discretion
was often abused by one party or the
other. So don't fail to get to the polls
by 6 O'Clock if You want to vote.
There are also Othsr important
changes i'm the law. The auditor is
not required to print SO many ballots
as formerly; provision is made for
placing special police at the polls, and
important changes have been made
regarding the method of marking the
ballots.
Section 1119, which refers to the pro-
per manner of marking the ballot
says: "Upon retiring to the voting
booth the voter shall prepare his ballot
by placing a cross in the square oppo-
site the name of each candidate for
whom he desires to vote, or If he de-
sires to vote for all candidates upon
any ticket he may do SO by placing a
cross in the circle at the head of the
ticket. The voter may also insert in
writing, in the proper place, the name
of any person for whom he desires to
vote, making cross opposite thereto.
The unnecessary marking of cross in
square below marked circle shall
not affect the validity of his vote"
An important point affecting the va
lidity of the ballot is also contained in
section 1120 which provides for the
counting of the ballots. 1t is as fol
lows: %" The marking of a
cross in the square of another ticket
than the one marked in the circle shall
notIaffect the validity of the ballot ex-
cept as to Office for which the person
opposite to whose name such cross was
made is candidate, and as to that Of
flee the vote shall not be counted.
4" In other words, the only ways
to vote is to mark cross in the circle
If you "vote her straight" or if you do
do not desire to vote straight then
mark cross in the square opposite
the name of each man for whom y GU
desire to vote.

Chairman Walsh has sent out II cir
cular to his committeeman in the stat e
directing them to make all possible
effort to poll every vote for White that
was polled for Bryan last year, claim
ing that White will then be elected.
1t Is understood that one democrat OH
each section of land in Iowa has been
written to personally by the state COM
mittee and commissioned to attend to
this on his own section. All know
that the vote polled for Bryan in Iowa
was very large. They expect a big
"stay at home" among the republicans
this year. They know republicans feel
confident, aud therein Is democratic
hope. They think if they can quietly
get their full vote out republicans will
be beaten. Let Audubon county re-
publicans be awake to the situation.

1t is pity the people of Iowa have
to go to the trouble. time and expense
of battling against the free silver
heresy so soon after its overwhelming
defeat last year. However, it seems it
is necessary to do it because the Bryan
White. Weaver faction of the demo-
cratic party has again thrust the ques-
ton forward in the campaign and have
publicly stated that if they make gains
it will be considered as a victory for
the free silver "cause." After being
overwhelmingly defeated once and
then after public events are every day
demonstrating the untruthfulness of
their positions and the correctness of
the sound money and republican posi-
tions, it is n pity the thing has to be
fought over again at once. We really
have too many political campaigns. 1t
unsettles business. Bnt we have got
them, and must make the best Of them.
So let us rally and wipe the earth with
them again.

Remembering the democratic cam
paigns of II few years ago and how they
commended against prohibition and
against almost all legislation cOntroll-
ing the liquor business in Iowa, 1t is
interesting now to notice how they
have adopted some of the most radical
prohibitiOnists as their own candidates,
notably b. f. Wright, Rev. Frank
Evans and r. A. Plummer. They could
not have taken up the cause of three
more radical prohibitionists, men who
thought that the only issue in politics
and who represent a faction who pre-
tended to leave the republican party
because it was not radical enough in
its treatment of the saloon. We do not
wonder at these gentlemen and similar
ones, entering the democratic party,
for they are apt to do unreasonable
things, but we are little surprised at
democracy so soon taking them up for
office. Surely democracy has accepted
the republican position that the liquor
question should be left out of politics.

Those Markets.


The Advocate squirms little over
our publishing its market reports of
last year and its comments thereon,
the declaration of the democratic plat
form of this year saying that markets
are lower than ever before, and then
its own market report of last week
showing they were higher than last
year. The Advocate thinks this doesn't
amount to much as the prices of this
year are so little higher than last year.
1t thus admits that they are higher,
and thus admits the untruthfulness of
the statement of its own platform, the
very point we were centending for.
However. we think there is consider.
able advance in the price Of the leading
product of this locality, corn, if it is as
the Advocate says, that corn was only
worth eleven to twelve cents last July,
while this July it was worth nearly
double that amount. This rise was
also in face of the fact that the amount
of corn on hands this spring was simply
enormous, greater than for many years
If it was ever so great before. The
visible supply this spring was 37,00O,-
bushels while the previous spring it
was but 100000. The government
reports showed nearly three times as
much COIN in.the farmers hands last
March as the March two years before,
or 1,164,OOO,0O0 bushels, or almost as
much as an entire years crop. But in
spite of this corn went up.
We do not contend that supply and
demand do not principally govern
prices. We commended last year that
they did principally govern prices,
while our demo-pop friends claimed
the prices of last year were low call be.
cause of the gold standard" But we
do claim that the general revival of
business and the restoration of bust
ness confidence has had very much to
do in the increase in the price of farm
products over last year. In many in
stances the revival of prosperity has
made an increased demand for farm
products and the price has been en-
HANGED.

Those fellows who are kicking about
the Dingley bill not working well
should possess their souls in peace. 1t
is stated now that the new bill is pro-
ducing more revenue than the Wilson
bill did In the first few months of its
existence Notwithstanding the fact that
the imports just previous to its enact
ment were very large and correspond
ingly small since. The Dingley bill
will not only prove sufficient revenue
getter, but it will make and is making
prices on our products better and is
helping all lines of business amazingly.

When farm products become high
the popocrats claim it is supply and

they become low tbs all the gold stand

has done it. Those popocrats have

another class of results. They are a
