The reports from the Second district
indicate that the election Of William
Hoffman, the Republican nominee, can
be assured by hard work. Much de-
ponds on Muscatine aud Scott counties.
These counties must furnish the major
tiles and in the other counties the DEM
ocratic vote must be kept down to the
lowest possible point. The republican
leaders in Clinton are hopeful Of carry
ing that county by small majority.
Iowa will go republican by fair ma
iority. Hard work is necessary in all
of the counties. Mr.. Hoffman has his
campaign we'll under way, and is max
ing a good impression wherever he goes.
He is man who wears well and the
more the people see Of him the more
they are convinced of his ability and
efficiency. The people Of the district
are not inclined to return to democratic
representation in congress.

Republican Campaign Letter.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, October 18th.
One of the reasons for apathy this year
is that there is widespread feeling
that this is republican year and there
fore there is no danger. This is not
the case. While there is every reason
to believe that Iowa will elect eleven
republican congressman this fall, there
is no assurance that this will be the
case. Take the First district, for in
stance. In 1898 Thomas Hedge re-
ceived 1877 votes, carrying the dis
trict by plurality of 8, 249. Two years
later he carried the district by plur-
ality, but the democratic candidate re-
ceived 1901 votes. II all Of the dem
ocrats had voted at the preceding cleo
ton, Hedge would have been defeated.
In 1898 Joe Lane carried the Second
district by plurality of 1882, receiv-
ing 1890 votes. In 1900 Captain
RUMBLE carried the district by q slight
ly larger plurality, but his democratic
Henry Vollmar, received
21,737 votes. II all of the democrats
in the Second district had voted in 1898
Lane would have been defeated. This
is not true in all of the districts but it
is true that the full democratic vote
this year will mean large cutting
down of .msjorities unless the full re-
publican vote is polled. Take the
Sixth district. In 1898 Lacey received
1878 votes, carrying the district by
l All plurality. In 1900 he carried the
district by 3,144, but Steck, his demo-
cratic opponent, received 1882 votes,
or more than Lacey had two years be-
fore. The figures show that the only
safe thing for the republicans to do
this year is to vote, for while it is not
likely that the full democratic vote will
be polled, it is not safe to count on
this.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1902-10-16

The effect of the election this year
on the presidential election in 1904
must not be lost sight of. A demo-
cratic victory this year might mean a
democratic victory in 1904. Should
the democrats secure control of the
national house of Representatives as q
result Of the election this fall, they
would be able to block all the republi-
can plans for the next two years and
would make the last two years of Pres
ident Roosevelts administration fruit.
less as far as the enaction of any new
laws are concerned. Congress will be
republican il the republicans Of Iowa
and the other states of the union do
the ir duty. 1t is absolutely necessary
that the republicans be aroused from
their apathy in order to achieve such q
victory as should be achieved.

calculations go awry at times with the
best of them. Not long ago William
Fem, who knows the sport as well as

Suddenly req streak went by just a
few feet from where our William was
sitting and before he could get up and
get his firing iron the fox was out of
range. Fem says the prevailing
notion that foxes are able to smell an
enemy before they see him must be a
fallacy, else why should this fox have
run so nearly over him.
