On Monday of this week Dr. Show
alter filed his objections to the certiii-
cate Of Col. Huff as the Republican

was made at a conference at which
Butler county was not represented.
The conference of Senators Hanna.
Allison, Aldrich, Spooner and Platt of
Connecticut, with President Roosevelt
at OYSTER Bay, Tuesday, was the cause
of much speculation in official circles.
The political sensation of the week is
the refusal of Speaker Henderson to ac-
-cept the. unanimous denomination for
Congress rendered him by the Republi-
cans of the Third district Of Iowa. Mr..
Henderson objects to plank in the
Republican State platform of Iowa and
he opposed President Roosevelt's policy
for reciprocity with Cuba. His decll-
nation is supposed TO mean organized
opposition to Roosevelt's denomination
for President. Among those spoken OF

Citizens OF Butler, old and new, in
casting their vote on November Attn,
next, should remember the fact, brought
to notice at one of the late political
meetings by Hon. j. ID. McJunkin, that
Butler owes the boom which is today
enriching her citizens to the Republican
party's principle OF protection. our
principal interests now are industrial,
and the Republican party always was
and always will be the best. one for the
laboring man. Some men will sell their
votes for few dollars gain in hand,
but he gets most for his vote who casts
it for party and policy which insures
protection, and sound legislation for
the industrial interests which are 20
wonderfully developing and which give
him his daily wages.
The scheme to divide three of the
Wards of Butler and Butler township
into election districts was presented to,
Ccurt-Judge Miller, presiding, Tuesday
afternoon, and had it not been emphat-
ically denounced by almost all the Re
publican members Of the Bar present,
would probably have been approved.
AS it is it was postponed until Monday,
Goth. 1t has yet to be shown
by congestion at ar election that such
division is necessary; and this attempt
at this time savors Of political trickery.
