Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1901-07-24
Howard County Kicks.

Cresco papers of last week in two
column articles strongly object to the
action of the Republican county con-
vention of this county in instructing
the senatorial delegation to vote for E.
p. Johnson for senator. The recent
county convention of Howard county
instructed its delegates for j. G. Web
ster, of that county, and these papers
state that it is an injustice for Winnie
shiek county to ask for it, inasmuch as
the agreement was made in 1886, when
the district was formed, that the sena-
torship would rotate between the two
counties. The article states that in
1887 Winneshiek county had two can
didates, and being unable to agree up
on either, S. A. Converse, of Cresco,
was nominated, several Winnesheik
delegates voting for him. Then in 1899
A. X. Bailey, of this county was nomi-
mated, and although beaten by lSO ma
jority in his home county, Howard
gave him majority of It's and he was
elected. In 1898 C. c. Upton, of Cres-
co, was nominated and elected, and in
1897 Winnesheik was in turn given the
nomination, the result of which is well
known. This article also states: "It
has been claimed that there was a
distinct understanding at one of the
earlier conventions that the party in
each county should alternate i'm nam
ing the candidate, and this has been
asserted by more than one republican
of Winnesheik county. Be this as it
may, the unvarying custom and prac-
tice has been to so alternate; and this
custom has now all the force of dis
trict agreement and is so recognized by
many republicans of Winnesheik
county, and they freely admit that
Howard should be accorded the right
to name the candidate in accordance
with this anvarying custom.
We submit this matter to the good
Judgment, sense and fairness which we
know actuates most of the republicans
of Winnesheik county, in the belief
that upon fair consideration of the
matter they will concede the correct
ness of our position, and accord to us
what we claim not as matter of favor,
but of absolute right"

Bro. BAILEY quotes figures In table
form to show that Howard county has
had the senatorship ten years and
Winneshiek four years. If we are cor
rectly informed Winnesheik county,
although much the larger, has never
elected one of her citizens to the SEN
atorship. The only case when we have
had representation in fourteen years
was when Howard county's majority
elected Bro. Bailey to that Office, over
the majority for the democratic candi-
date in this county.

FIREMEN'S FIELD MEET
CREsco CAPTURES FIRST PLACE
West Union Gets Second Place, and
DEBORAH is RELOCATED to
the Rear.

Nearly three hundred people joined
the excursion over the Burlington to
West Union las! Wednesday, to attend
with the local fire department, the
annual tri-city firemen's field meet.
The Decorah City Band accompanied
the local contingent, and at Ossian
about a hundred from Cresco in special
cars were attached to the train, and at
intermediate points more were added,
until there were about q thousand
when West Union was reached. The
West Union department met the train
and escorted the visitors up town, and
after dinner they proceeded to the fair
grounds where the events took place.
The meet was clear victory for
Cresco, with West Union very close
second, while Decorah seemed to have
poor luck all along. The fact of the
matter is that our boys were fairly
beaten, owing we believe, to lack of
proper, systematic training. 1t was
evident that the Cresco and West
Union boys had trained thoroughly,
and that our boys were not match
for them in agility or endurance. The
contest between Cresco and West
Union was close one, and it needed
the last event, the relay race, to place
Cresco ahead of West Union.
In the evening the Decorah City
Band gave one of theirpopular concerts
on the street, which was listened to by
a large and appreciative crowd, as was
evidenced by the hearty applause
accorded each number
