CONVENTION CALLED.

At Fort Dodge on Tuesday was
held a meetingSof the county chair.
men Of the Tenth District and oil
the members of the Congressional
committee. This committee was
empowered by the convention that
nominated Mr.. Dolliver to fiji any
vacancy that might occur on the
ticket. 1t was thought best how
ever by nearly all of the committee
that no action should be taken bu,
that new convention should be
called in order that every candi-
date should have a fair chance and
that the people might decide the
nomination for themselves. We
believe this was wise action. No
man would wish to accept nomi-
nation that had about it any thing
which might be criticised as a
committee nomination surely would
be. We are pleased to state that
the candidacy of Judge Conner, the
formal announcement of which is
made in this issue, was received
with much favor by therepub]icans
present. Every one has good
word to say for him and if we may
believe one half of the favorable
things we heard Mr.. Conner will
be the nominee of the convention.
There is feeling all over the dis
trict in favor offhe Crawford county
candidate and in many counties
where they have candidate Judge
Conner is the second choice.
While Judge Conner will go into
the convention with the largest
number of votes of any candidate
no man will have enough to nomi-
nate on the first ballot and the
nomination must depend on second
choice strength. We look for a
spirited convention and an interest
ing one but we firmly believe that
Judge Conner will win. The OPP
ponents Of Judge Conner think to
make Roadway by claiming that
he is a friend of Dolliver and OF
Shaw. This is true, but we do not
think the argument will change
any votes from Judge Conner in
this district.

The clerks office is not a very
busy place during these summer
days but visit to that office always
finds the work we'll in hand. Mrs.
Kruger has proven most efficient
deputy and while some may object
to nepotism in office there can be
no question but the work of the
clerks office is as well done as it
has been under any clerks admin
istratlon the county has ever had.
Our attorneys all agree on this
matter, and there are many who
wish that Mr.. Kruger was to be a
candidate for denomination and
that his estimable wife was still to
be the deputy.

VIOLIN AND SONG.
He'd nothing but his violin,

He'd nothing but his violin,
I'd nothing but my song,
But we were wed when skies were blue
And summer days were long.
And when we rested by the hedge
The robins came and told
2 How they had dared to WOO and win
When early spring was cold. -
We sometimes supped on dewberries
Or slept among the hay,
But oft the farmers wives at eve
Came out to hear US play
The rare old tunes, the dear old times;
We aud not starve for long,
While my man had his violin
And my sweet love song.
The world has aye gone we'll with US.
Old man, since we were one;
Our homeless wandering down the lanes,
It long ago was done.
But those who wait for gold or gear,
~ For houses and for kline,
Till youths sweet spring grows brown ant
And love and beauty tine
Will never know the Joy of hearts
That met without fear
When you had but your violin
And q song, my dear.

CONNER A CANDIDATE.

Crawford county presents the
name of Judge ]. P. Conner as a
candidate for the congressional
nomination at the hands ofthe new
convention to meet at Fort Dodge
on September 25th. Judge Con-
ner has finally consented to allow
the use of his name in this connec.
ton and all Of his many friends are
asked to do their utmost in his
behalf.
Crawford county takes this action
with the full knowledge that there
are many good men in the field
and that it will be difficult for the
republicans of the district to decide
among them. They hope, how
ever, to be able to convince their
friends throughout the district that
Judge Conner is eminently fit
ted for the position, that he
will bring a dignity and ability to
+ q v e s.
the position which will be credit
to the entire district and that he
will be an acceptable and fitting
successor to the great and eloquent
Dolliver. Few men are better
known throughout the district and
few men require less introduction
to the republican voters. He is
not recent political growth; for
twenty years he has stood as one
OF the bulwarks of republicanism in
western Iowa. He is an old cam
paigner and we know of few men
who can present the great issues of
republicanism with such force and
logic and ability. AS a lawyer and
as business man he has made an
unqualified success, his practice
extending into many counties, and
he is known as one of the most
successful practitioners in this iu-
dicial district. AS district and cir
cult judge he acquitted himself
with such credit and satisfaction
that it was only his voluntary re-
tirement which prevented his being
continued on the bench until this
day. After serving on the bench
some men find it difficult to regain
the practice, which has of neces-
lslty drlfted into other hands. This
was not the case with Judge Con-
ner. AS soon as he returned to
the practice clients came to, him
and his business has been increas-
ing with every day. 1t is we'll
known that the able attorney, who
makes his clients interests his own,
IS apt to create hostility among OPP
posing lltlgants. 1t is remarkable,
that in spite of the fact that he has
been on one side or the other of
nearly every important case tried
IN this county in the past few
years. his enemies are so few that
the county can be said to be unani-
mously his friends.
| Judge Conner is fifty years Of
age, of magnificent physique and
his ability is of the highest order.
For many years he has been the
tried and true friend of Senator /.
p. Dolliver, the two men know
each other and could work togeth-
er with the most perfect harmony.
When Mr.. Dolliver was first nomi-
mated for Congress Judge Conner
came within one vote of receiving
the nomination. At that time the
temptation was presented to Mr..
Conner and his friends to unite on,
anyone to beat Dolliver, how they
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1900-08-31

resisted this temptation, how they
insisted that they would enter into
no combination which should have
for its sole purpose the elimination
of Dolliver, these things are part
of the political history of the dis
trict. Nor, after this defeat, was
there any sulking on the part of
Judge Conner. He recognized
that the man was in every way
qualified and that Dolliver had
been his second choice all the time.
Since that time Crawford county
has made a record of absolute dis
trict fidelity. No candidate from
the Tenth District has ever been
nominated to state office without
the support and vote of Crawford,
and there is no defeated candidate
who can say but that Crawford
county was with him so long as
there was any hope of success.
Time and again Crawford county
has gone down to defeat and has
accepted the consequences in loss
Of prestige, rather than desert a
district man. The county there
fore goes before the republicans of
the district with an absolutely
clean record. 1t is. true that Gov
ernor Shaw did not receive the
unanimous support Of the district
when he was a candidate at the
Cedar Rapids convention, but, no
man can say that fact has been al
lowed to prejudice the subsequent
actions of either Gov. Shaw or of
Crawford county. We have re
turned good for evil, we have re-
tanned no grudges and when the
time came that the great leader of
the republicans of this county,
Governor Leslie M. Shaw could
benefit his own destrict, even
though the appointment meant a
sacrifice of all personal ambitions,
he laid them aside and to-day the
district greets Senator ]. P. Dol
liver with loud acclaim. Crawford
county does not base its claim for
recognition on the ground. of graf
ltude alone, it presents man who
has been tried in the balances of
public opinion time and time a.
gain and who has never been found
wanting, it presents a man who in
ability, in spotless life and charac-
ter stands before the people as the
peer of any man the district has
produced. He has the eminent
qualifications which have made
Dolliver so successful and which
have added SO greatly to the glor-
lous reputation long sustained in
Congress by the Tenth District Of
Iowa. For these reasons we go
before the people of the distriqt
with confidence, asking for Judge
Conner their best and most
thoughtful consideration and their
klndest treatment.

Wehste,

Webster, Calhoun, Humbolt
and Green counties are the only
ones in the district without a con-

the counties rejoice in the possess
ion of two. They are all good
men and they should receive the
support of their home county SO
long as there is chance for them
to win. After that all can join
hands and make Judge Corners
nomination unanimous.

CAPT. GROGAN's LECTURE.
First White MamtO Pass From South
to North Through Africa.

Capt. Ewart s. Grogan, an undergraduate
of Cambridge University England. who Is
said to have been the first white man to
pass through Africa from south to north,
delivered an interesting lecture last even
ing before the National Geographic Society
at the hall Of the Columbian University.
The attendance was very large.
The lecturer was introduced by Prof. Gill
bert, both President Bell and Vice Presi-
dent MCGEE being unable to be present.
During his short address Prof. Gilbert read
a letter from Cecil Rhodes. in which the
latter said the success of Captain Grogan
in making his tour through Africa had
caused him to decide to construct railroad
and telegraph lines through the same re-
gion.
Captain Grogan first told of futile at
tempt made by him in 1896 to explore the
dark continent, the effort being made
abortive by reason of his being taken dam
gerously i'll, compelling him to return to
England, and of his second visit to Africa
in 1898, during which he accomplished the
mission he had undertaken. Although the
speaker is the only white man to explore
Africa in the manner stated, he was ac-
companied by guard Of $50 men, COM
posed of several tribes, some Of them be-
ing cannibalS
Captain Grogan was warmly applauded
when he stated that the honor of estab-
fishing the first telephone line in Africa
belonged to an American, a former United
States consul at Zanzibar.

MARKET IN HOLIDAY ATTIRE.
Evergreen Plentiful and Fowls Suf-
hcient to supply Demand.

The Center market has already taken on
its holiday attire, and the quantity of
green's of every description seems large
enough to supply every demand. Along
B street between 7th and 18th streets there
is almost continuous line Of Christmas
trees while every nook and corner Is filled
with wreaths. crosses and other designs in
tended for decorative purposes. 1t will not
be long before the sidewalks on It'll and 9th
streets, as well as on Pennsylvania avenue,
will be occupied by those who are selling
the products of the woods.
Holly and hemlock trees are in greater
demand this year than usual, while they are
not so plentiful the pines and cedars.
Much Of the holly, we'll as most of the
hemlocks. come from points a number of
miles distant, the nearby woods having been
pretty well cleaned out. Hornets nests and
birds nests are also to be found about the
market.
Turkeys for the Christmas dinner are al
ready appearing in market in large num-
bers, although Christmas is nearly a week
in the future. Fowls, especially turkeys,
are cheaper this year than usual. Since
Thanksgiving day they have been unusually
plentiful. and have sold low cents
a pound. Market dealers expect to receive
large shipments of dressed turkeys between
today and Saturday, and unless there is a
decided change in the weather low prices
