The Blythe band wagon is passing
rapidly through Winneshiek county.
We shall not be surprised to see Mr..
Bailey mount the front seat at the
New Hampton convention, and we
contemplate with satisfaction tie figure
which will be cut by our would-be
postmaster, Mr.. Goddard, as he catches
on behind and struggles to scramble in
over the tail gate of this rapidly NOV
ing vehicle.

WE brand as a lie the political clap
trap story that Blythe is or ever was a
railroad lobbyist, and we defy those
who are claiming to prove it. On the
other hand no one will deny that Up
degraff has always been an attorney for
the c. M. & st. p. Ry. when practicing

above company with the editor of this

The new ballot law says plainly
that Judges of election cannot help
any one mark his ballot unless the
voter be physically unable. This is
important, and should be remember
ed, because no voter who is merely
unable to read or write can get a
Judge to help him. This law will dis
franchise some voters. 1t is a fusion

unusual condition, however for a

BY reason of a nonsensical law
passed by the last MISUNDERSTANDING,
the fusion ticket appears three times
on the ballot this year. The same
set of officers appear in one column
as populist, in an other column as
democrats and in third column as
silver republicans. The hope OF the
originators of this law was to fool
the three classes ofvoters. Our pop,
Mist. democrat and silver voters can
scarcely consider such law a very
great compliment to their inte!li'

1t is a little satisfactory to say
"we told you so" il any humble fol-
Tower happens to strike the right
thing. When Mrs. Lease spoke in
Miller for the fusionists, in September,
the PRESS picked her week point, or
most damaging, admission that she
made, in her statement that vote
against the republican ticket was a
rebuke to President Mckinley and
the administration in the great vic
tory over Spain. We believe today
this is the most important question
in this campaign, viz: TO support
and endorse the president. And in
confederation here is what Col.
Roosevelt, the gallant commander
of the rough riders says:
81 should ask the people to sup
port the administration of President
Mckinley if for no other reason than
because, say what you like, victory
