Senator for the district composed OF
Howard and Winnesheik counties, Is

with his parents when boy and locat-
ing with them on farm In the north
western portion OF Wlnneshiek. While
yeti boy he engaged with j. Marsh
at DEBORAH in the machine business as
salesman. Leaving his employ he en-
gagged with Strother & Conklin at
Cresco in the same capacity. When
that firm retired from business, Nc
Hugh and Lyons became its successor
and with the demise of Mr.. McHugh,
Mr.. Lyons became sole proprietor OF
the extensive business in agricultural
implements which he has since con-
Quoted. His business has been con-
Quoted with a degree Of integrity that
commands the entire confidence OF
those who have been his patrons and
of the business public. He is not a.
politician in the ordinary sense OF the
term, Of party right or wrong. II
right be adheres to it, If wrong he,
would right it. -Four years ago he be.
came the nominee of the party for
state senator, and faithfully and
worthily represented his district in
the last sessions Of the legislature.
His entire course as state senator was
in behalf Of the people and against
fayoritism and the special interests
Of the classes, uniformly voting for all
measures designed to promote the
,pnblic welfare without inquiry AS to
the source from whence they came.
Possessed ofa logical turn of mind he
readily discerns the scope of public
measures and closely reasons their eff
feet.

affairs; by occupation farmer pos
sessed OF full knowledge of their
needs and of the laws necessary toput
them on an equality with the corpor-
'ations which have been hedged about

shibboieth Of democracy to which he

will be a credit to the coun ty and
an honor to the state.
40, ANDY CAMPBELL,

ductionto the people Of Howard coun-
ty. They know MIN to be honest, to
be vigilaut and faithful IN the dis
charge of public duty. He is prompt
in the discharge Of whatever duty he
is called upon to perform, treating all
with the distinction they merit. We
are not of those who think the one
who has for one term done indiffer-
emily we'll in an office, one, who has
been inefficient, is entitled to second
term, but'that one who has done ex-
ceedingly well, faithfully discharged
every duty for two or more terms, is
disqualified from further service.
