IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
In Monroe ccunty-The prospect
for electing the entire republican
county ticket is better this fall than
for many years. The republican party
| in the county is united and can win
| this election. There is no excuse for
| any republican not supporting his
| county ticket and working for its sue
cess. Don't stand back and expect
the candidates to do all the work but
let every republican get his coat off
this year and contribute the power of
his influence and work to the success
of the ticket. There will be no votes
to spare but there will be plenty if
every republican does his duty and
we believe he will-Albia Republican.
Making Winning campaign.-Con-
gresham John f. Lacey spoke to good
audiences at Hooking and Avery this
week. Major Lacey is in excellent
health and is making winning cam
paign. He has served the sixth dis
trict faithfully ten years in congress,
and has always voted right. He has
most enviable record, and will be re-
turned to congress this fall with an in
creased majority. Republican.
Both Scare Cfows.-The Letter be-
lieyes the basis for permanent pros
perity lies in protection and sound
money. Imperialism" and "expan-
sion'' are both scare crows and can
scarcely affect5the veal or woe of this
great country.-Mystics Letter. -

An Apology Due-Fame is mighty
uncertain For instance. F. w. Bick-
nell, the Des Moines correspondent,
never heard of the man the democrats
are running for congress in this dis
trict, hence he speaks of Maj. Lacey's
opponent as Amos Steckel. Somebody
should be made to apologize some
where.-Oskaloosa Herald.
Democratic Disgust-The Burling.
. ton Gezette, tho a democratic news
: paper, has stubbornly refused it's SYM
|-pathy to Mr.. Bryan. The hobnobbing
. Of Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Croker in New
:, York is freshly Irritating to this Bur-
lington newspaper. "No democratic
. candidate for president except Mr.
; Bryan" it breaks out, "has ever drag
:, ged the party's name in the dust
thru personal trucking to the corrup
ton of Tammany Hall" The Gazette
calls attention to it because it does not
desire Mr. Bryan to win. Mr.. Bryan
has no other chance-Sioux City Jour
nal.
5 Lacey as a Speaker-This mucf
e must be said of Congressman Lacey
e He can make speech that reflects
1 credit upon his constituency either OF
5 the stump or in the halls of congress
8 Steck who cannot make a speech a
all on the stump must content him
self with slipping about like THE
:, in the night jollying up the individual
= voter and placing funds where it prom
: ises votes for him would hardly re
- fleet much credit upon the Sixth dis
y trict in Washington or elsewhere
. Lacey, the man who Is known the ma
- ton over as one of the brightest
shrewdest, wittiest and safest states
man in the halls of congress today, l
ST the man who should represent us
nj We don't want a man who only fill
is a seat and draws a salary because h
le can't talk enough to express himsel
he on any subject, and one who is boun
Id to support Organism in every one c
it's ccentricities-What Cheer Pr
