The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1901-07-30

otRefS take mold OF the matter it is
bound 10 succeed. We have yet to re
cali a single instance from the found
ing OF the college to the last Fourth
OF July, wherein Mr.. Kuehnle has failed
to do his duty.
As a friend Mr.. Kuellnle is always
helpful. This helpiulness is not alone
for those from whom favors may be X
pected, but it is for rich and poor, hum
bic and powerful alike.
Mr.. Kuehnle's worst fault is his out
spokenness. He enters into every
thing with enthusiasm, and if he thinks.
honestly thinks a thing to be wrong
or unjust he is not afraid to champion
the right even though it be the weaker
cause. Many men pursue the policy
of letting things go, simply because
by their convictions. This has never
if elected to the senate the people OF
this district will have an outspoken
and fearless champion. one who can
be depended upon to do what he thinks
is right at all times and under all cir
cumstances.
He is a man OF forty, old enough to
have experience and a thorough llnowl-
edge OF public affairs OF which he has
been a student all his life, and young
enough to lave a care for the future.
to enter into the life and movement OF
the times and to be a man among men.
Crawford county knows that MIR.
Kuhnle is a worker. He was chairman
OF the republican county central COM
mittee during the presidential cam
palgns when Harrison ran and when
Mckinley was elected for his first
term ana in that memorable campaign
and under his generalship the demo-
cratic majority in this county was re-
duced to less than two hundred, the
lowest it has been in twenty years.
Politically MIR. kuehnle has never be-
lore been in the position OF a candi-
date; all his strength and have
been given to help the party and to
forward the interests OF other men. He
was OF great assistance to Governor
Shaw in his initial campaign and he
was II OF the first lieutenants in the
campaign which ended in the nomina-
ton OF Judge Conner for congress. He
has helped every republican in Craw-
ford county who has ever aspired t o
any office and he deserves the entire
and hearty support OF the county. He
will have it. He is the natural choice
OF the republicans of the county, they
know him and like him and with him
as their leader they feel confident Of
victory. 1t is probable that the demo-
cratic nominee will come from this
county. The time is now ripe for a
political revolution here which shall re-
turn the county to the republican
column. Many OF the German demo-
Gratis have become Disguised with the
attitude ofdemocracy on the silver ques-
ton and have lost confidence in Bryan.
On the other hand, many who left
the republican party on ccoun Of the
silver issue, are disguised with the
tendency on the part of many demo-
Gratis to throw that issue overheard
simply because it did not win. The
people are well satisfied with republi-
can times and now, if ever, is the time
to swing Crawford back into the re-
publican line. With Mr.. Kuehnle as
our candidate we believe it can be done
and we ask the republican counties OF
the district to help us to redeem the
county by making conditions favorable
to republican success. Crawford county
has never had but one member OF the
senate. Eight years ago Senator
Lehteldt accepted the nomination after
much urging. He did not care for the
office. The district was considered
hopelessly democratic and it was hard
Tor the republicans to find a man will
ing to make the race. Mr.. Lehfeldt
and the same elements of strength
which entered in his candidacy enter
now into that of Mr.. Kuehnle. He is
strong among the people Of this county.
not only in Denison but throughout the
county. Our German farmers admire
the brave German boy who has won
his way through merit and effort and
they will vote for him regardless of
party. We have naught to say against
the other candidates in the field. They
have honorable ambitions and are
worthy men. Mr.. Newell was the re-
publican candidate four years AGO and
was defeated. 1t is urged in his behalf
that he should be allowed another trial.
Without any, d~isparagement to him.
however, we would suggest that the
~seIatofshlp IS too important for the re-
publicans OF the district to award the
nomination simply as a favor. 1t would
De better to bring a new man before
the people, a man who has never asked
the suffrage OF the people before. Mr..
kuehnle is nominated would strengthen
the ticket throughout the entire district.
He is a fine speaker, a ready debater
and a winning campaigner. He would
put a life and vigor into the campaign
which would be well nigh irresistible.
and if elected he would add to the
honor OF his district and the people
would have a representative who would
look after their interests not only with
zeal but with ability ana effectiveness.
For these reasons and in all kindness
the republicans of this county will ask
their party comrades OF Mannna and
