Interrielr rpith attorney
Geo. II. Woods0n, of
Muchakin0ck, Iowa.

The Sixth District is confronted with
no ordinary problem this year.
The Nations honor and interest is as
completely at stake as it has been for
many years.
For the next two years the Congress
of the United States must be create r
than any which has assembled in WASH
ington for many yearsif we measure it
by the Labor it will have to perform.
The people of this district and state
now have the high privilege OF COM
mission to that Congress which must
have one of the two objects and which
must give the country one Of two re-
suits.
1t must maintain the high achieve
ments of our Peerless Army and Navy
or it must discredit them and brand
the Nation with the stain of dishonor
forever
We can either send Lacy to vote in
Congress with the stalwart kepubli-
cans and good Democrats of this great
Nation, on all questions affecting its
future greatness and prosperity, or we
can send Gen. Weaver, who promises
to be on the alert to fight, oppose, stop,
stamp and kill every decent measure
that comes up in Congress for the next
two years.
The General will lie bound to cas-
his vote with the Anarchist and calam-
ity howlers who are threatening the
Finance and Industry of this country.
The question is about this and the
answer ought to be plain. What shall
it be? Lacey and honest labor Tor
Weaver and dishonest rest: Lacey
with the industries of the country
running so us to give employment to
those of our citizens who labor for
love and fortune or Weaver with in
dustries shut down, with capital fright
ened and honest Americans compelled
to tramp over their fair soil and beg at
the humble gates of their fellows.

which all retired feeling little tired yet
