MR.. ]. z. WHELAN A CANDIDATE
The Following Article from the Red
Oak Express Announces His
Candidacy.

The Express is authorized to form.
ally announce the candidacy of J. E.
Whelan, of Montgomery county, foI
the republican nomination for clerk of
the supreme court. That he would
be a candidate for this office has been
no secret for several years, and he is
encouraged to believe that his candi-
dacy will be we'll received throughout
the state
Mr.. Whelan is pareculiarly we'll
fitted to fill the office he seeks, as the
following brief sketch indicates.
Leaving Monmouth college twenty
years ago he came to Red Oak. He
taught school and farmed and in 1886
he was elected to the office of clerk of
the courts, a position he held four
consecutive terms. In 1895, at the
close of his last term, he went to Des
Moines as deputy clerk of the SUI
preme court under the present clerk,
Mr.. Jones, a position he filled accept
ably for nearly four years. During
this time Mr.. Whelan S abilities were
recognized as being of a high order,
and strictly on his merits he was adj
vanced to the position of Deputy Audi
tor of State, perhaps the most import
ant as we'll as most difficult subordin-
ate positions in the state service, and

CONGRESSIONAL COMMENT.

In the spirit of absolute fairness to
one whom every honest voter in the
Fourth Congressional district comedies
to be man of more than moderate
ability, unswervingly true to his
party under all circumstances regard
less of consequences to self and bust
ness, man of great public spirited
ness and organizing capacity of
valuable service always to the party :
and one upon whom has been heaped
almost every form of false, disreput-
able abuse, we publish this week few
opinions from some of the strongest
papers of Iowa regarding the attempt
to crush the candidacy of Mr. Blythe
for congress in his home county We
quote mostly from papers outside the
district, to show that the opinions are
wholly unbiased and unprecedented
We do not wish to be UNDERSTOOD as
drawing the line personally between
Mr.. Haugen and Mr.. Blythe, or any
other candidate. Were the same abuse
thrust at Mr.. Haugen we would re-
sent it the same. Let this be a fair,
honest, campaign. Let the best man
win, whoever he is. The Fourth !
district wants representation in con-
gress" not a personal enmity scrap
between disguntled politicians.

it was while filling this position that
Auditor Merriam was taken sick in
California. Thus all of the re-
sponsiblities of the Office were thrown
upon Mr.. Whelan, and he proved
fully equal to the occasion, receiving
many compliments for, the admirable
manner in which he conducted this
important department of state. He is
at present holding the position of
state bank examiner. The state
officials generally consider him good
authority OH commercial law, and the
bankers commend his ability as an ex-
pert accountant.
Mr.. Whelan has been an active
worker in the republican party ever
since his boyhood. He is good or
ganizer, has a genial personality, is a
good MIXER and has wide ac-
quaintance throughout the state, which
facts, taken in connection with his
unquestioned fitness for the Office he
seeks, makes him strong candidate
with splendid chance of winning out.
While he has found it necessary to
reside at the capital for the last few
years, Mr.. Whelan retains his legal
residence at Red Oak, and he will
have the endorsement of the bar of
the ninth district-Red Oak Express.

ed, courageous, loyal leader who has
done as much work for the republican
party Us any man that could be named
in this district. Four years ago he
was defeated for congress by the mar
rowest of margins, after fight which
for intensity and malignity has rarely
been equaled in the annals of Iowa
politics. The Disappointment, instead
of souring him, seemed rather to in
duce him TO larger effort on behalf of
the party. He accepted the defeat
with an equanimity which challenged
the admiration and compelled the re-
spect of the bitterest of his opponents,
and at no time i'll his extended career
as a republican politician has he done
more energetic, faithful and unselfish
work for his party than during the

past four years. The result is that as
candidate now he has rallied about
him many who actively opposed him
when he was then candidate, and he
has retained the old friends who shar-
ed with him in the defeat of that
campaign But there remains those
whose animOsity toward him is so
great as that they would totally and
forever deny him the right of con-
sldering political honors for himself,
and these are now bending every
effort to encompass his defeat in the
approaching congressional convention
OF the Fourth district. The enemies
of Mr.. Blythe, finding it a hopeless
task to defeat him with the present
incumbent, Congressman Haugen
than whom there is no greater nonen-
tlty In congress save the Honorable
Lot Thomas, of the Eleventh district,
are now seeking to precipitate a home
hight upon him by dragging Duncan
Rule of Mason City into the congress
slonal contest, hoping that Mr.. Rule
may be able to prevent Mr.. Blythe
from securing the united support of
his home county. This is dirty
politics, but as Mr. Blythe has had
to meet it before, it is not likely that
it causes him great concern and
certainly arouses no establishment in
his mind. To an outsider, the unre-
lentless warfare waged upon j. E.
Blythe by a few politicians of the
Fourth district seems inexplicable
Affable, upright, a fluent and eloquent
speaker, a well-informed and careful
ly educated man, a republican whose
has been tested in the
fire and essays 100 per cent in loyalty,
it is passing strange that there should
be found those whose prejudices blind
them wholly to his ability and who
are willing, in order that he may be
defeated, that the district, one of the
most important in Iowa, should be
in congress by men of the |
most ordinary talent and of signal |
lack of influence in the state and
nation. The Fourth district will |
honor itself vastly more than it will |
honor Mr.. Blythe if it shall decide to |
give him a voice in the national con-
gress.

Des Moines Capital, LATE Young
editor. The Hon. James f. Blythe, of
Mason City, who as chairman of the
republican central committee led the
republican party back to victory after
the election of Gov. Boies, is can
didate for congress in the Fourth dis
trict, and the meanest sort of fight
is being made against him. Blythe is
a great leader of men and is deserving
of better treatment than is being ac-
corded him. The browning act of
meamess consists of bringing out a
candidate against him in his own
county. The democratic newspapers
of Iowa may not appreciate James f.
Blythe, but certainly the republican
papers ought to refuse to join i'll any
abuse of him.

New Hampton Courier, r. H. Fair
burn editor lis it an adroit move on
the part of few political enemies of
Blythe to help carry some of the
other counties in the district for
Haugen by making something of a
show at home against Blythe? 1t is
useless gentlemen, the fight is to a
finish between Haugen and Blythe
and the people will not brook any
interference simply to wreck vengence
ON a political foe and defeat the
wishes of the majority by coulpro-
mise such as we had four years ago.

Washington, d. G. dispatch Iowa
congressman have been given the gen
eral impression that Congressman Hau-
gen is neither displeased nor startled
with the candidacy of Duncan Rule,
whose candidacy has surprised all 9TH
ers in the Fourth district, and Mr. Hau-
gen speaks of Mr.. Rule in very high
terms, and says that Rule is "his
friend. " Whether this means more
than two words simply is a matter of
conjecture. The impression grows
apace, however, that Mr. Rules cand-
idacy was foreknown to Mr.. Haugen,
and meets with his warm approba-
ton, because it might seem to strength
EN- Haugen's chances for renomina-
ton, as it is we'll known that Rule
has no aggressive following in the
district.

While Mr.. Blythe was away from
home last week working for the best
interests of Mason City to secure help
from the government for the Military
college and donation from Mr.. Car
negie for city library building, in
both of which he was successful, his
enemies at home did all they could
to kill him politically by bringing
out Rule for congress.

Adds $4,000 to $4,000 Already Given
fer DUBUQUE Library.

Ht aSAAaS .bN wy
Dubuque. Jan. 3.-The board of direc-
tors of the Carnegie-Stout Free Public
Library Association held a meeting
Tuesday evening at which time Jacob
Rich, president of the board, gave q de-
tailed account of the work thus far done.
Mr.. Rich has kept a sharp watch OF
all that has taken place, and showed
the board whot progress had been made,
the amount expended and other inter-
esting data with reference to the work.
After listening to the report, the board
formally inc unanimously approved Of
what had been done.
At this meeting Mr.. Rich also an
rounced that Mr.. Carnegie had decided
to increase his gift to Dubuque $40. 900.
which makes $50. 900 altogether from the
great benefactor. This extra $40, 900 will
be greatly appreciated by the board as
the expenses Of furnishing up the new
building will cost considerably more
than at first anticipated. The board also
elected Judge Lehman vice president at
this meeting. to fill the vacancy caused
by the death Of George b. Burch.
It is now thought that IL nothing hap
rens to the work. the new library build
ing can be finished up and made ready
for occupancy by the first of mex June.
II this can be done it will be making
good time, as there is still a great deal
to do. It is the intention of the board
to finish UP the whole structure at once
and leave no part of 1t undone.

Clinton. Jan. 3.-The particulars Of an
exciting personal encounter which took
place in a hotel of this city on New
Year,e morning have just leaked out.
The principals in the affair were j. l..
Jordan, a travelling nan of Chicago, and
+. L. White, a st. Louis knight of the
grip, and Mrs. White. Jordan and Mrs.
White arrived at the hotel early Tues
day evening and registered as Mr.. and
Mrs. J. l.. Jordan. Later In the evening
White arrived, altho it is thought he had
no knowledge of the fact that his wife
was In the hotel with Jordan. He saw
them al the breakfast table. but kept
his presence unknown from his wife and
Jordan. He saw the chief OF police and
told the officer of his trouble. saying he
wanted Jordan arrested. The chief said
he would not arrest Jordan without ar
resting Mrs. White. This did not suit
white, who returned to the hotel, went
to the parlor, where he found Jordan
and his wife. White made a vicious as
nault upon Jordan and when he had sat
tsfed his wounded feelings q doctor was
summoned and spent an hour In dress
ing Jordan's wounded body.
White stated that his wife was a good
woman. but was under the influence of
Jordan, who, he said, is a hypnotist. and
could not resist the man. They took the
train In the forenoon, presumably for
Chicago. Jordan left the city In the
afternoon, altho under different circum-
stances he would have remained in bed
for q week. Both are well-known trav-
cling men turnout this section.

half to his wife. His former wife was
burned to death a year g as the result
of a gasoline stove explosion.
Senator Romans. tho a political oppo-

were engaged In making sidewalk inn
provements at the church six years ago
Shaw conflded his ambition to become
