The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1899-10-31
1t looks that way to US, what do you
think about it2

1t looks that way to us. what do you
think about itp
Do you honestly think such a govern
ment would be better for the real liber-
ty and personal rights of the people
than the control of the United States?
We should hate ourselves we're we so
craven, so unpatriotic, so utterly I'M
worthy of our free institutions as to
think that any other government on
earth could equal America in its liber-
ty, its security for personal rights and
its grand civilization. What do you
think about this?
What reason have you to believe that
the government under which you live
would be more oppressive to the people
of the Philippines than to the people of
Iowa?
The American flag has meant liberty
and civilization and prosperity where-
ever its bright folds have waved, why
should it not bring blessings to the
people of the Philippines as it has to
other peoples of all the earth. To
question this is to question the integrity
of our government.
Did any authorized official of the
United States ever take any steps to-
ward making an Anglo Saxon Alliance?
Never. On the contrary such actions
have been specifically denied by the
secretary of state.
If not why do you and other demo
Gratis make such blow about one?
Simply to appeal to the prejudices of
voters, that is all and he VINO is fooled
thereby is not wise.
Did Theo G. Blume allow the use of
his name as an independent candidate
for superintendent in 1891. Was he
nomin ated, and was his name printed
in their ticket more than a month?
He did, and the files of the REVIEW
or Bulletin will prove it.
Is it not true that Blume withdrew his
name from the independent ticket not
because he was opposed to running
against a regular democratic nominee,
but because he secured a position in
Illinois?
1t is.
Is it not true that the deposits in
Iowa banks have increased nearly $50,
100000 since January 1, 1899? Is this
an evidence of prosperity or of hard
times?
They have. We should say it was an
evidence of prosperity but it certainly
means hard times for the democratic
party.
Have not the bank deposits in Deni-
son increased over quarter of mil
lion dollars since January LIST?
They have, an inquiry at the banks
will prove this statement.
Is it not a fact that a least one half of
this money belongs to the farmers of
this vicinity2
The cashier Of one of the banks
states that he has examined the qaes-
ton and asserts that fully siGty per
cent of the deposits belong to farmers.
Were the farmers robbed of this
money by buying Coax stoves or how
was it done? Is not the rise in hard
! ware due to the demand for iron pro-
ducts by railroads, building trades and
manufacturers is greater now than
4
| try.
The first part of this question we will
leave for the principal owner of the
Bulletin to answer; as for the second
part, we would say that it is very
largely due to this cause, the iron mills
OF the county have enough orders ahead
to keep them running day and night
for year. Under such circumstances
is it wonder that iron is high?
Does not Bryan declare free silver to
| to be the issue of the day?
He most assuredly does.
Why do you not answer these ques-
tions? Is it lack of courage or lack of
brains that keeps you silent?
We leave this for the people to decide
but we would suggest that it is good
deal of both.
Why was the representation in the
last democratic convention based on
the vote OF two years ago instead of the
vote OF last year as is customary?
Because the vote in some townships
favorable to the ring candidates was
light last year and the gang could more
easily control the convention by basing
the representation on the vote of two
years ago. This proceeding was, we
believe, without precedent in Crawford
county.
Was it not put up job in order to
beat Jones, Jepsen and Shaw Van?
Events justify the opinion that it
was.
Did not the editor of the Bulletin
sign The petition, headed by j. b. Ro-
mans, which Mr.. Blume turned down?
He did. OF course he did if Romans
headed it.
If the Bulletin editor was right at
that time, was not Mr.. Blume wrong?
Certainly.
Please give list of the cases Mr.
O'Hare has had before the district
court2
Impossible, he has had none.
Has Mr.. O'Hare ever voted in this
county?
| No. He has been resident of the
i f0 or nil hc
