New Lacey Law May Injure

But to No Great Degree--WiII Bother

Three sections of the Lacey bill. the

be easily seen that it will have the
best possible effect on the game condi-
tion of this State. Not only the game
birds but also the songsters are pro-
tected thereby.
II is a national law and is proving
rather a bother to importers all over
the country. 1t is the customs divis-
ion of the treasury department that
administers the law and circulars have
been issued TO all collectors telling
them exactly what they are to do with
the importation Of animals or parts Of
animals.
Although the trainers Of the law evil

millinery interests, Yet it seems as
though they must suffer somewhat For
example. it has been the custom for
dealers in Florida to carry heron

however. such offenders viii be appre-
E"r.-d anywhere and people who pur-
chase the cOnrdband goods from them
are likewise subject to punishment.
The law in question makes very
interesting new departure in Uncle
sam 5 policy respecting natural history
matters. For some time past certain
colonies Of Great Britain such as New
Zealand and New South Wales. have
had regulations restricting the i'm
portation of animals, but hitherto this
country has granted free admission to
all such immigrants. no matter how
undesirable they might be. 1t is merely
a lucky accident that nobody has
thought it worth while t. introduce the
mongoose, that destructive little NAM
mai which has done such damage in
Jamaica and other places where it has
found an adopted home. 1t is death
on chickens for one thing. and soon
destroys all ground nesting wild birds
in any region where il is permitted to
multiply.
Hitherto it has been a common prac-
tice to kill game animals in a state
where the destruction Of such animals
was forbidden BY law, ana to send
them To market in another state where
there was no such prohibitory regula-
ton. Henceforth. however. not only
the shipper in such cases but the COM
pany that transports the contraband
animals ana also the consignee, will BE-
liable To a fine Of 500 in each instance.
Every man who ships game is requr-
"a to put his name On the outside III

contents. and ii is as much of vio-
lation Of law to convey game in a
trunk or gripsack unmarked as it is
to ship or sell The same out Of season.
The regulation Of such interstate traf-
tic is controlled by the State game war
deus and game commissioners.

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 out republican
policies. Besides these broad reasons
for voting for Judge Smith there are
Others of much weight. He is a 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.

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 90 to the polls and
vote. A comparison of the vote of
Iowa in 1899 with that of 1896 shows
an alarming percentage of Republican
stay -at-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:

Filipino Aid to Bryan.

In speech which he has just made at

newed the charge that hope Of and
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
in the mountains, ambush and murder
our troops and the friendly natives
is the result, under express and ex-
plicit orders from Aguinaldo. of a 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 it.
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.
II will not say that the men who are
encouraging the Filipino soldiers here
are traitors to their country. But I
will say, and l think with justice, that
the men who are reviling pand belittling
America here. and the men who are
shooting from ambush there; are allies

emies to the interests anshcredit Of our

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1900-11-01
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 on election day.
Keep tally lists and check OF 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 it that every Repub-
lican vote in the precinct Is polled. Do
not allow Republicans to stay in the
cornfelds 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 a Democratic congressman
from Iowa and a 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 prestige in con-
gress beyond that Of any other state
In the Union. 1t is now represented
by 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 personal friend should induce you
to vote for any other man for this
high position than the candidate Of
your vn party.
There are Republican votes enough
in Iowa to give the national and state
ticket 5000 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

wages now than ever before. That
fact, not because the commissioner
