republican rule and have no Immediate
fear that either will fall into h hands
OF democracy. While this is highly
complimentary to the republican party
there Is in it an element of danger.
People are apt to be lulled to sleep by
a false sense of security, eternal vigil
ance is the price of liberty just as ever
lastingly voting the republican ticket
Is the price of good government and
prosperity. The democrats of this
county are not asleep. Under the leader
snip OF such men as Romans and GRAY
son and Carey and Gary they are max
Ing a still hunt. They will have com.
paratively few speeches as thew are
afraid to argue the questions in the
open. They urge democrats to remain
away from republican meetingsfor thew
know the republicans have all the
argument on their side and they fear
That their voters may be lead to the
truth They rely solely upon their organ.
%lzatlon AID an appeal to the preiudices
Vi Che voters to beat republicans"
IL must De conceded by every voter
that the republican county ticket as a
whole is superior to the Democratic
tlcKet, Every mar was selected with
regard to his especial fitness for the
place and the voters if they will take
the trouble to make the comparison for
themselves Will find that the county
will be greatly benefited by the election
OF tine republican nominees. AS SAMPLE
OF the dirty politics which the Bulletin
is using we would call attention to it's
statement that Prof. G. W Won Coelln
had been OF of educational work for a
long tine. In fact it is but four wears
since Prof. Won Coelln was the Presi.
dent of a college and he has been inter.
ested and at work along educational
lines eve since.
is but a sample. Democrats
are forced to admit that their ticket is
the weaker but they urge every demo-
crat to vote her straight" not because
the ticket is a good one, not because
the republicans if elected would not
make the better officials. but in order to
''beat the republicans" 1t is a mighty
poor argument at best. The people of
the county are interested in the cleo
tion of the best and most competent
men possible. They know that Prof,
Won Coelln with his splendid english
and german education and his wide ex-
perlence would make the best possible
county superintendent, they know
that 1t is common sense to elect a com
petent surveyor, they know that it is
common sense to elect a physician as
coroner. they know that Hugh Langan
would make a model member of the
house OF representatives and that Dayie
has beer weighed in the balance and
found wanting, that j. G. Smith is a
splendid, we'll informed business man.
that he would make a strong member
OF the board of supervisors and that
the northeastern part of the county

sented on the board, they know that
Henry Schmidt is one of the most
honest and competent men in the
county for treasurer, all these things
the voters know and we believe there
are enough republicans and indepen.
dent democrats in the county to elect
them all.
Bryan has entered into the Iowa
campaign. If there was ANYTHING
needed to add to the republican ma
Jorlty it was Bryan. Why the demo
Gratis resurrected him is beyond TELLING.
