Col. A. L. sorter for Congress

Col. a. L. Sorter tor Congress.
"Will we support Col. A. L. Sorter
for congress-" is a question that
seems to puzzle several of the voters
of this township, as for a number OF
weeks past we have been asked to take
a stand in the affair. We have hesita-
ted to delve into politics this fall as
we truly believe the entire field to be
covered by the craft-such publica-
tions as the Times-Hefald and Phono-
graph-in way.
We will support Col. A. L. Sorter
for congress for several reasons; the
principal one, he is advocating our be-
lief politically in every respect. Col.
A. L. sosteg is our ideal Of the young
American. He has earned his worthy
title by his labor and merit, aising
from the ranks of the common class OF
true Americans. He has demonstra-
ted what the young man of this age
can do by merit.
| The Colonel is native of this state
and at the age Of Is he begun life for
himself. He entered the service of a
storeKeeper at Iowa City and for sew
eral years he did faithful labor for his
employer and his spare moments were
devoted to his BOOKS. At the first adj
miniStration of Cleveland, he was ten
dered the position as deputy postmas-
ter, but rather than see an old and
deserving soldier lose the position
which was his support, the Colonel le
fused the offer. He afterwards Ell.
tered the servi :cs of the railway pos
tai department and in a very compar-
atively short time he stood at the top,
always correct in all his work and
whea he left the service later, he en-
joyed the honor Of being the most
efficient and correct clerk out of Chi
cage. The Colonel served in the Span
isn-American war with the rank of
Captain.
His work after the war speaks vol
umes for itself. The question of Sc
curing for Mason City an educational
institution like the Memorial univer-
sity, of national repqte, was prob
lem which could be solved only by the
few, and Col. A. L. Sorter rose to the
occasion, and secured for the town,
county and state. q grand educational
factor which stands and will stand
lasting monument to his energy and
faithfulness to his fellowmap.
His life is one for the development
of that which ts grand, noble and
pure. His thoughts, words and ACTIONS
are for the betterment of all classes
and his true democratic style has won
the respect and admiration of all who
know and meet him, while his love
for his country, his flag and the vet
Grams are making for him each day
more votes than all the newspapers in
the district. We will support Col. A.
L. Sorter, and why not?-Dougherty

Roosevelt, the Trusts and the
Tariff.

President ROOSEVELT has been prompt
to meet the situation created mainly
through the withdrawal of Speaker
Henderson from the congressional con-
test. He has in his Cincinnati speech
addressed himself to the pecific guess
tion of the relation of the tariff and
the trusts raised by the speaker and
assumes practically the identical posi-:
tion which Col. Henderson assumed.
He is Drawer man than Henderson,
and his party responsibilities are
greater. He meets the situation, while
Henderson runs away from it,
1t is an adage among lawyers that
the court is presumed to know some
law. It might safely be accepted by
politicians as truism, that the people
know something about the merits Of
the question which are under public
discussion. President Roosevelt evil
IDENTIFY does not proceed on this theory,
as his academic contribution on the
trusts and their relation to govern
meEt and commerce clearly indicates.
To reach clear understanding Of his
position from his Cincinnati speech
it is necessary, in order to avoid con-
fusion, to eliminate most that he says.
Leaving out the long succession Of
commonplace to which he treated his
audience, the president may be said
to have avoided the subject of the ex.
listing tariff, save in its restricted re-
lationship toward the trusts. In its
lationship toward the trusts he would
leave it undisturbed. The reasoning
by which he reaches this conclusion,
however, commits him hopelessly to
the proposition that any interference
Tor any purpose with the existing tariff
would operate to unsettle, SO far, the
business of the country, and to destroy
the small producers, while aiming an
ineffective blow at those trusts which
are able to maintain substantial
monopoly in the trade they pursue.
Going step beyond this, he commits
himself to the proposition that the
relative fewneSs of the trusts which
are receiving government bounty in
the shape of high prohibitige tariff,
levied on possible foreign competitors.
would render any reduction of the
Tariff on truStproduced commodities
of no avail whatever as a remedy
against industrial monopolies.
1t is by this line of progression that
the president reaches his chief con-
tention, that mainly, IL not entirely,
through constitutional amendment,
can the country look forward to relief
against the dangers of the trust sys-
tenn.
The issue could not be palmer. Were
there any doubt as to the position of
the president as the representative of
his party and administration, this
Cincinnati speech puts an end to 1T.
The Republican party stands in this
campaigning apologist and defender of
the trusts, and the direct champions
of the existing tariff. Those republi-
cans Of the Northwestern states who
have been looking forward to some
presidential declaration which would
enable them to defend their purity on
the assumption that it proposed the
extension of the principle of reciproc-
ity in trade with other nations, or
that it would range itself against the
trusts and with the masses, will read
