The Opposition to Mr.. BabCOCk.

Following is an editorial from last
Mondays issue of the Milwaukee
Sentinel on the congressional situation
in this district:
A correspondent to The Sentinel
contributes some reasons why Con-
gresham Babcock should be retained
in the Wisconsin delegation The
people of the Third district are OF
course entitled to their own choice of
representative, but they cannot well
be offended to learn that their mem
Der has become recognized as one Of
the most influential among the legis-
lators of the house or to know that
his services are in demand to advance
important Hesitation by which one of
the chief interests of the district may
be favorably affected
AS the situation stands before the
public the opposition to Mr. Babcock
in the Third district does not appear
to rest upon general dissatisfaction
with his pubic service, but rather
upon Il tOIIl DllldblOu VI ClI' III
of sentiment in different localities ia
vorable to the aspirations of numer-
Gus new candidates. Presumably no
one rival aspirant would be able to
muster a following of his own which
would endanger the denomination OF
the experienced member. Possibly
all of them working in harmony may
be able to accomplish that purpose
and give some one Of their number
the victory. All of the candidates
must loose, and certainly the people
of the district, or of the state, would
not be likely 70 gain by the proceed
ing.

portionment of districts, and new

cations to obstruct their ambitions
to hold the honors in possession for a
second term. Unless there are obiec-
tions to the sitting members more
valid than those presented by rival
aspirations it would seem to be good
politics as well as good public policy
to retain old mem bers who have be-
come established in power for useful
ness until the district boundaries
shall have been readjusted. There
will be few official plums for new
members to distribute meanwhile and
capacity for legislative work is not
developed during one term i'll con
gress excepting in exceedingly rare
and extraordinary cases.

TO All Living "a e EN-.


Dow City, Aug. pom. G. Virgins,
of this city, has issued circular letter
to the members OF the Crocker,s Iowa
brigade, calling attention to the biennial
reunion to be held at Keokuk Sept. 26
and q. He is anxious to have the name
and postoff1ce address of every living
member of the Eleventh Iowa infantry.
Of which he is the association secretary.
The circular is as follows:
"Comrade-The fact that time Is
Winging US away to our Eternal home
is becoming potent to us all. Shut our
eyes as we may to the truth, yet it will
not down; it is too true. The soldiers
of the war of the rebellion are rapidly
passing to that bourne from whence no
traveller returns.
Accepting this fact as truth, what
should be our attitude one to the other?
Should We carelessly allow the tie that
binds usi in sacred comradeship to grow
slack and be regarded lightly? Should
We rather not use greater diligence to
strengthen it in every fiber2 In other
words, should we nourish our comrade-
snip or throw it to the winds?
The legacy of conradeslip which be-
longs to the soldiers of 1S61-65 is too
precious to be thrown aside lightly. The
elements that compose it are too unique
and rare to be degraded. They are SO
| splendid in their completeness that We
can not afford to do any thing elaet han
! cherish and nurture them until the final
troll cali shall summon us away.
Comrades the like of our comrade-
/ ship has never before been seen, and in
all proba bility the world will never Wit
1 ness its like again. How, then, can we
best preserve it and solidify it?
Let US meet often in fraternal re-
union!
For this sole object the tCrocker's
Iowa brigade was org anized in 1881.
For that sole object we propose to
i meet this year at keokuk. Iowa, Sept.
1922.
Every, effort is being put forth by tbs.
/ officers of this association, backed by
the soldiers and citizens of ISeokuk, to
| make this reunion a success. Every
thing will be done that warm hearts
can suggest to make this tenth biennial
reunion time of enjoyment and good
fellowship.
Comrades of Eleventh Iowa: Is it
/ asking too much Of you that you give
your time and influence to make this
j meeting a grand success, by being pres
4 ent with your family?
