there is light vote, especially of
the republican party in Iowa. The.
reason are various. Possibly the
best reason is over confidence Of re-
publican victory. without my vote,
or that I am not interested much
,,this yeal il election: It is not much
difference anyway it goes, or that
the party doesn't need my vote this
year. These things is what hurt
our party strength. Don't be de-
ceived, don't stay away, don't be
over confident, don't fail to vote
and work for the party; help keep
its majority increasing each year.
The election only comes once a year
and we should give few hours to
assist our party and its principles.
The party needs your vote each
year. Come out next Tuesday and
attest your appreciation of the
Dinley-Allison bill, of the Mckinley
wave of prosperity, and of the gen

revival again after a four years 'un-
called for rest. See that your re-
publican neighboi votes. ,,i -. ...

POLK COUNTY REPUBLIC
AN CANDIDATES.

Hon. Thomas A. Cheshire, can
dldate for reelection, was withou,
doubt one Of the strongest senators
in the Twenty sixth general assemb.
ly. His conservative cause, good
judgment and rare ability made him
the general favorite last session, and
with his experience now he will be
more able to help Des Moines and
Polk county than in the past. Every
voter should assist in re-electing him
by an increase majority. Il
Judge Carr and Chas. l.. Stewart,
each have long been identified with
public interest and the republican
party. Each are good, honest and
.painstaking men in business. The
latter is hard working farmer and
has been a laborer for many years,
and lives on a farm today and
knows the need of the laboring man.
Sheriff J. E. Stout, candidate for
reelection for his second term is so
well known that comment is unnec-
cessary. He has made one of the
best sheriff that Polk county ever
had, treating all men alike. He is
tried and true.
H. c. Murphey, our genial treas
urer is asking your suffrage for re-
election. A better man for that
place will be hard to find. He is
an honest, courteous gentleman and
merits your support.
J. M. Brenton, candidate for
comfy superintendent, is an active
republican worker, an experienced
school teacher of some 18 years.
Has a clean record and an honest
purpose, and great desire to ele-
vate the schools of our county, he
should receive every republican
voter next Tuesday. ~

his paper several hours beyond the
usual mailing time in order to pre-
vent reply to an unwarranted attack
upon Republican candidate and

1t is an old saying that comparisons

competency by selling goods to those
who stood by the county and tried to
improve the country. When hard
times came he took away with him d
stock of goods and cash variously es-
timated at eight to fifteen thousand
dollars. Unable to withstand the
sharp competition of more expert
enced business men in the east. he
dropped the major part of his wad
and traded the remainder for mort

He returned to Trego in 1895. playing
in hard luck. In few weeks he was
nominated and the people of all par
ties compassionately elected him to
succeed the best, most competent and
obliging clerk this county has ever
had, because he had held the office
long enough. Taking the office he
Immediately turned a cold shoulder
to the people who had gone out of
their way to elect him and proceeded
to draw a 81 900 salary from Trego
with which he pays mortgages and
taxes in Washington county. No one
presumes that he will remain here
when he is no longer able to draw a
salary from the taxpayers of Trego
county. If he draws it long enough
he will have a good farm, clear of
debt, (which is his schemel and read

and this has been his home ever since.
