have an immense popular vote in Iowa
when it Is all polled. This year the
issues are exactly the same as they
were In 1896 and no one, who believes
in Republican principles, has any
right to neglect to 20 to the polls and
vote. A comparison of the vote of
Iowa in 1899 with that of 1896 shows
an alarming percentage of Republican
stayat-home voters. The same thing
was true at the congressional election
in 1898, at which time If the Demo
Gratis had polled their full vote they
would have elected congressman in
over half of the districts Of the state.
The following table shows the num-
Der OF Republican stay-at-home votes
by districts in 1899 as compared with
1896 and also the average number per
precinct:

Hon. Walter /. Smith ought

Hon. Walter /. Smith ought to re-
ceive just as many votes in Audubon
county as President Mckinley. The
congress needs to be republican as
badly as the executive branch of the
government. To make one republican
and the other democratic would be to
place them at cross purposes. The
argument which induces man to vote
for Mckinley should also cause him to
vote for the republican congressman
for without congress to sustain him,
President Mckinley will be crippled
in his ability to carry ont republican
policies. Besides these broad reasons
for voting for Judge Smith there are
Others of much weight. He is man
of great ability and of absolute integ-
rity and We are quite sure that he will
represent his district and state with
distinguished honor. We hope he will
receive big majority of the votes of
Audubon county.

Eilininn Aid To BrYan.

In speech which he has just md se at
Canton, o., Secretary Of War RooS re
newed the charge that hope Of andAa
desire TO aid in Bryan's election IN
spired a continuance Of the fighting In
the Philippines, saying:
"You have been told that the present
activity of the guerrillas in the Phil
ippines-who, from their hiding places
i'm the mountains, ambush and murder
our troops and the friendly natives
is the result, under express and ex-
plicit orders from Aguinaldo, of de-
sire to maintain show Of resistance,
in the hope of Mr.. Bryan's election,
and for the purpose Of producing an
effect on the people of the United
States which will promote that cleo
ton. General Macarthur has report
ed this. Judge Taft has reported 1t.
General Wright, sturdy Democrat of
Tennessee, has reported 1t. The whole
Philippine commission has reported 1t.
But, OF course, the opposition will not
believe them. They are Americans.
81 will not say that the men who are
encouraging the FilipinoAsoldiers here
are traitors to their country. But l
will say, and think with justice, that
the men who are reviling ard belittling
America here, and the men who are
shooting from ambush there, are allies
In the same cause. and both are en-
emies to the interests ,andbcredit of our
country"

A FEW LAST WORDS.

Republicans, don't scratch your
ticket.
The only safe way to vote is by mark
ing your ticket with cross In the circle
at the head of the Republican column.
Every Republican vote should be
polled before noon Oh election day.
Keep tally lists and check Off the vot-
ers and then send for those who are
old and unable to walk to the polls
and for others who fail to come.
Have carriages at every precinct
in the state and men to go after the
voters and see to 1t that every Repub-
lican vote In the precinct Is polled. Do
not allow Republicans to stay in the
cornfields and, If necessary, take men
along to husk corn while you take the
voter to the polls.
Remember that one vote lost may
turn the scale in some close precinct
or district and may result In the cleo
ton of Democratic congressman
from Iowa and Democratic congress
man from Iowa may be the one vote
that is needed to enable the Democrats
to organize the house and defeat Col
onel Henderson for reelection for
speaker.
Republicans of Iowa, remember that
this state now has a prestige In con-
gress beyond that Of any other state
In the Union. 1t is now represented
by a solid Republican delegation in
both houses and one of that number
was the first man west of the Missis-
sippi ever chosen as speaker of the
house. State pride alone, II there were
no other reasons, should induce every
Republican in Iowa to cast his vote to
retain this proud position. You have
the votes to do it and no specious argu-
ment, no appeal for complimentary
votes for another candidate because
he is "good fellow" no personal so,
licitation on the part Of a Democrat
or a personal friend should induce you
to vote for any other man for this
high position than the candidate OF
your own party.
There are Republican votes enough
in Iowa to give the national and state
ticket $1,000 majority. The Democrats
are striving, by personal solicitation
to induce Republicans to throw away
their ballots by complimentary votes
for Democrats. Do not be misled by
this sort of argument or appeal, but
vote the Republican ticket straight.

Carroll D. Wright. labor comm

Carroll d. Wright, labor commits
sioner, says that labor is getting better
wages now than ever before. That
fact, not because the commissioner
said so, but that all people recognize it
is true, is the greatest argument in ia
vor of McKinley's reelection that is
made this year. Well paid labor
means happy homes, contentment and
all the blessings that come to busy
and prosperous people. We do not
want to throw away these conditions
for certain calamity.

Republicans, study this table well.
1t means much. 1t shows you where
the apathy exists which endangers
the success of our ticket In close dis
tricts and might prevent such an ex-
preston of the peoples will as would
really and fully voice their sentiments.
Study this well and decide for your
SELF that so far as your precinct IL
concerned, the vote will show that Re-
publicans have determined this year to
do their duty.

Why Bryan resigned from the army
Just after his regiment had been order
ed to Cuba was never fully understood.
His military career was very weak
one indeed. His acceptance Of a colo

Of the man. He is impractical and

The Last Word.

The presidential campaign of 1900 is
practically ended except the voting.
The argument is in and the verdict
is ready. Our presidential campaigns
are the greatest political campaigns
of the world and are great education
al influence.
This campaign has been one ofinter-
est. Although said to be quiet one,
it has been one in which the individual
voters have done careful thinking for
themselves. The republicans have
commended from the first that the good
times were an issue of the campaign.
These good times have come as a result
Of republican policies, according to re-
publican predictions, and against dem
ocratic predictions. The American
voters are interested in maintaining
prosperity more than in any other one
thing involved in this election. They
will no doubt vote to keep them.
The democrats have commended that
the principal issue of the campaign
was whether the republic should en-
dure, that the actions of the republi-
can leaders indicated they would set
up an empire if they had continued
power. This republicans denied and
but few believe it.
| Democrats contend that the tenden-
cy here now is toward big standing ar
mics and that we are therefore endan-
gered. Republicans show we only
have one soldier to 100 people,
infinitely less than any other nation in
the world, that the democrats them
selves, in congress, unanimously help
ell create this army, and that this issue
is raised only to obscure democratic
mistakes.
| Democrats contend that good times
were brought about by our wars. Re-
publicans show good times commenced
soon after republican policies were re-
commenced, or in 1897, year before
the war commenced, and that factories
and mines and other industries re-
opened and the assurance of sound
money are the main reasons that
brought good times, and not war.
The democrats have commended that
they were the only party opposed to
trusts while the republicans have shown
the democrats when in power did moth
ing against trusts and that they have
even recently opposed giving the
national government authority to deal
with them.
The democrats decline to talk their
free silver doctrine, but republicans
show the danger the nation would be
in If democrats succeed, as they are
pledged by their platform and the
repeated declaration of Mr.. Bryan to
give free silver coinage.
Democrats claim we are endanger-
ing our liberties if we retain the
Philippines, while republicans contend
we will extend to the Philippines the
blessings Of education, of religious
liberty, of law and order and of local
government, and they have confidence
euough in American character to be-
lieve that neither the Philippines nor we
will be losers by the effort. Many
minor questions have been discussed,
but these are the main ones.
Republicans confidently point to
their past history and achievements
and ask in the interest of the welfare of
our own people as well as of the
PHILIPPINES that they be retained in
power.

must be simple and harmonious with
the structural elements of design. and
the successful plans are pre-eminent
in this admirable kind OF excellence.
A comprehensive examination OF the
entire design shows that the compost
ton of the bridge az a whole and In
Its several parts is dictated by the re-
Quirements Of the problem and that l.
is common sense solution. possessing
the essential qualities of good engin-
eering and architecture.
Masonry construction was chosen on
account of its more monumental and
lasting qualities. and this necessitated
the arch motive. The portion over the
river proper requiring free passage for
the current. as we'll as for ice In the
winter. Is of comparatively open con-
struction. consisting of graceful seq
mental arches OF long span. The APP
proaches are OF cmaller and semicir-
cular arches, the very costly construc-
ton OF the river portion not being ra-
tional at these points.
The difference OF function of the
river and land parts Is thus sharply
expressed, adding very much to the
true artistic quality of the compost
ton; moreover. the points at which
the thrusts terminate are REINFORCED
by masses OF masonry built up into
monuments. which by their weight
add to the stability OF the structure.

proach arches on each side of the river
are admirably adapted to the recep-
ton OF such emblematic figures, statu-
airy or carving as may be suitable to
give 1t any desired intensity of express
sion as memorial to American pa
triotism. This additional embellish-
ment need not necessarily be given to
the bridge at the time of its construc-
ton, but could be added from time to
time in the future as historical events
or epochs In the history of the country
might require. There are many pedes-
tails along the entire course OF the
structure which could receive from

patriotic Americans, as was indicated
