The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-10-10

Ths Democratic losses of Inc county
are much distressed over the way in
which their ticket is being received bv
the democratic masses. Not a man on
the ticket is beiug received with any
thing like enthusiasm and the recent
actions OF one of the candidates has so
thoroughly disguised the campaign
managers that they have threatened to
ask him to withdraw from the ticket.
We greatly regret this latter circun-
stance as we would like to feel that
even should the democratic ticket win
the Offices would still be in fairly COM
petent hands. 1t is a serious handicap
to the remainder of the democratic
candidates and it is no wonder that
Chairman Carey looked blue or that he
blew the offending candidate ''sky
high"
The democrats are already repenting
their i'll advised Nominations. They
are regretting trat they did not place
single nomination in the north west
portion of the county, they are re-
GREETING that they were so arrogant to
the Vail representatives 1t was easy
enough at convention time to tell Vail
to go to thunder" but now that votes
are wanted, the old stick othe party
boys" song is being used and all sorts
OF promises are being made to whip the
anti-Holland people into line. II is a
good deal TO ask of Vail democrats hat
they swallow all the insults that have
been heaped upon them by the Bulletin
and by democratic conventions in the
last few years.
The Germans like the old ve.er N
Herman koenekamp much better than
they do Tom Ahart. Tom is a good
fellow but he is not ia touch with the
Germans and from all over the county
Mr. koanekamp is receiving assurances
of their support. He will receive more
than his party vote in Union township
and will run ahead in nearly every
township in the county
The case OF J m McKim is also worry
ing the bosses Many OF the demo-
Gratis announce boldly that they will
not vote for hi.a, and it is admitted by
all democrats that ne will ruu behind
in his own township. 1t is a fact that
not less than dozen prominent dele
gates to the convention which nomi-
mated McA!m are openly working with
all their might for Charlie Russell
If John Cook were to leave the coun-
ty for the next month he might stand
some show of election but his buzzing
about the county like adistracted bum
bic bee does him more harm than good.
John is gettinr but half hearted sup
port from the democratic leaders.
They acknowledge that he is weak
man and dep.ore the fact that no
| stronger man was in the field for the
nomination. On account Of his record
of bitter partisanship Mr. Cook will
get very few republican votes in any
| locality. Berry Coin on the other
hand will get large support fri NJ the
north western townships which it is
rightfully felt should be represented
on the board. Mr.. Cook is making the
plea that especially in the case of a
favorable vote on the court house pro
position Dcnison should nave man on
the board. Derison people however
doubt Mr.. Cooks business experience
and they also feel that the people of
the county will be better satisfied,
should they decide to build decent
court house, to have the construction
superintended by other than Denison
man, then if anything goes wrong, if
the building is unsatisfactory in any
way the odium cannot be attached to
Denison
So far John Klnker is having walk
away for County ATTORNEY Many Of
Mr.. O'Hare's friends have been forced
TO desert him through no fault of their
own. Mr.. Klinker is bright, sober
and industrious young attorney His
knowledge of German would be es
pecially valuable in this Office and at
this time and ir the light OF recent
events we predict that Mr. O'Hare will
be the worst surprised man on the
| democratic ticket Mr.. Kiinker is
making a good clean campaign and is
attracting new friends every day. If
elected he could be relied upon TO be
honest sober, Industrious ard pains.

Mr.. E. e. Clauson will receive a
tremendous vote where he is lest
known and viii make most creditable
run. He S bright, keen and enter
prising young man and represents an
element long unrepresented in county
1 affairs.
Indications now are that the demo-
Gratis will stake all upon {; sill hunt

out into the open. They will have
