OUR COUNTY TICKET.

New Sharon Star: The republicans
of Mahaska are especially fortunate
this year in that they have a ticket
constituted of thoroughly competent,
clean, deserving men. Every one of
them was the deliberate, easy choice
of the convention that nominated
them. There was no wrangling pre-.
vious to the convention, during it's
labors or since its close, for the SIM
pie reason that there was never any
cause for contention. Other good
men were candidates, men that would
have constituted good ticket, but
not all could be chosen, and the ticket
was named in the utmost harmony.
OF course no man could be nominated
at any time for any Office that would
prove the first choice of every voter,
but we submit that the men thus de-
liberately and honestly chosen are
justly entitled to every republican
vote. We feel that we are thorough
ly justified in insisting that they be
thus supported-by the full vote of
their party associates. Hon. w. G..
Jones, who has proven his efficiency
in the lower house of the legislature,
is the nominee for senator. AS a
good man and citizen no man says
aught against him.
Hon. A. F. N. Hambleton, for sever
al years an able and conscientious
member of the board Of supervisors,
is the nominee for the house. He has
carefully watched the interests Of the
people and is worthy the pl emotion
now offered.
w. w. Eby, tried, faithful and ef1-
cient in the treasurer's Office, was
wisely chosen,and without opposition,
to succeed himself.
E: l.. Valentine, the candidate for
sheriff, is splendidly equipped for that
important Office. In the full vigor of
mental and physical manhood he will
fully justify the expectations of his
most ardent friends, is capable of
making as good an official as ever oc.
cupied that office in Mahaska county.
James p. Dodds has thoroughly
proven his efficiency as superintend-
ent of instruction, is broad-minded
educator, conversant with the labors
of the office, is in touch with the ne

about 100000 There is no means Of
knowing just how these were divided
between the two parties, but 1t is
probable that over one-half Of them
were republicans.
The danger of the Iowa republicans
taking the view of the situation can
not be over-estimated. Republicans
in other states are watching Iowa this
fall, Tor it is one of the few states
holding elections. Iowa has always
been a banner republican state and
there is every reason why the major
ity should be kept UP to the mark or
two years ago, and increased il posi-
BILE. The outcome of the election this
fall, as has often been stated, will
have very decided effect upon the
national campaign next year. If the
majority in Iowa is materially re-
duced, the democrats will claim they
have won a victory and will have re-
newed energy for the fight next year.
The republican party will not be re-
duced if Iowa republicans do their
in Iowa now as there ever were. Per-
haps there are more, for the people of
the state have been greatly pleased
at the conduct of the party during the
past few years, both in state and ma
tiona1 affairs. If all Of these repub-
leans vote, the majority will be great
er than it was two years ago, when a
great many did not vote. Every re-
publican should vote this fall and set
the mark of his approval upon what
has been done by the party.
1t must not be said that nothing
depends upon the outcome of the
election. A great many things de-
pend upon it and these should not be
overlooked. AS has already been
stated, the work of the campaign
next year will be greatly Influenced
by the outcome on Nov. 3. President
Roosevelt's hands will be strength
ened by big majority in Iowa. Gov
ernor Cummins and all the nominees
on the state ticket are well worthy of
the support of every republican. All
of the candidates save one have been
in Office and the people of the state
have had an opportunity to observe
their actions. They have been practi-
cally free from criticism, and it is
due to the republican nominees that
a full vote be polled this fall. Again
the fact must not be lost sight of that
every county which shows a reduction
in it's republican vote, will have it's
delegation to the next republican
state convention correspondingly re-
duced. The election of 100 represent
atives and nearly 80 senators depends
upon the action of the republican vot-
ers, and if they do their duty, the
democrats will make no gains in the
legislature.

WHITE MAN AND RED MAN.

Norfolk News: II the government
would only give some Of the poor
white trash" or encroaching pale
faces" the same espionage or chaper-
onage that is given the noble red man
there would soon be a notable eleva-
ton of their condition, prospects ana
finances. When a noble red boy wants
to sell his property he must have the
consent and approval of the proper
officials at Washington; the govern
ment having provided him with a
farm and home, and food and cloth
ing, and education, it is not proposed
that he shall squander his property
for song or something less, there
fore he is closely guarded in his bust
ness transactions. And when he
would blow his substance for booze
and go home and beat his wife and
children, or remove the hair from his
neighbours head or do some other hor-
rible thing that is the exclusive priv
ilege Of his civilized white brother,
the government again steps in and
says NO" emphatically. About one
out Of ten of the free born American
citizens need just such restrictions,

nate him.
]. M. Stephenson was chosen to
succeed himself as a member of the
board of supervisors, and for the
reason that his services have proven
eminently satisfactory to the people.
Faithful and competent, it was fitting
that there was no one opposed to his
denomination.
Charles F. Foehlinger was re-nomi-
mated without opposition for coroner,
a fact that proved the people we're
satisfied with his public services and
wanted no change.
Prof. Owens, the nominee for sur
veyor, is bright, clean, vigorous
young man who was appointed by the
board of supervisors to fill vacancy.
So well has he filed the bill that there
was no opposition to his nomination
I Such is the republican ticket. 1t is
admittedly strong, clean, and being
such, it is entitled to the support OF
every republican voter in the county
in which event all will be elected and
by good majorities. The convention
did its duty in nominating these men
and now it is the duty of every repub
lican to ratify their action.

THREE DIVISIONS.
Central M. e. Church Ladies' All
Society Prepare For Work.

Rev J. w. Somerville has organized
the Ladies Aid Society of the Meth
odist church into three divisions that
the work may be cared for more in
detail than it ever has been before
The first division with Mrs. ]. w
SomervilIe as chairman, has been or
ganized and is composed of more than
thirty ladies of Fourth ward. The
second division has also been organ
lied and contains about as many
members of the ladies of First, Fifth
and Second wards, with Mrs. Marian
Cheney as chairman. The third II
vision, with Mrs. G. B. Stull as chair
man, met yesterday afternoon at the
M. E. church for organization. 1t will

divisions and is composed of thu
ladies of Third ward.
On next Tuesday afternoon the sec
ond division will meet with Mrs. Dr.
Clark. Wednesday afternoon the
first division will meet with Mrs. J.
w. Somerville, and the third divis:or

THE ONE GREAT DANGER.

The only danger which threatens
the republican majority in Iowa this
fall is over-confdence among the vot-
ers. 1t is a common expression to
hear a republican voter say that the
majority will be big enough any way
and there is no particular use of his
making any special effort to get to
the polls on election day. 1t was
this state of affairs which resulted in
only a light vote being polled last
year and two years ago. About 1885,
900 voters stayed away from the polls
in Iowa last year, and the year before

The New Sharon Star makes a
good suggestion, and one that is not
without merit 1t says that demo
Gratis have been forever urging repub-
licans to give at least one OF their
candidates a complimentary vote, and
have often succeeded mighty well in
securing them. In fact republican
votes elected Cricket in the first place
six years ago, and it is also a notori-
Gus fact that republican votes have
kept him in Office ever since. Instead
of asking republicans to longer sup
port Cricket, to elect him for the
fourth time, they should vote for Val
entine. They have had the benefit
of republican votes until they ought
to be ashamed to expect repetition
of the little game that has been play,
ed through several terms to our ex'
elusive loss and their sole gain. The
Star has hundreds of democratic read
ers and we think that all Of them
will in their hearts conclude that our
claim is just, but what will they dc
at the polls? That's the question.

NEEDS MORE HOUSES
TO CARE FOR PEOPLE
Building Inspector ElIerbe Says
Cottages Are in Greatest
Demand.

With the opening of the new Great
Northern shops, which is scheduled for
the latter part of October, 5000 people
will be added to the population of the
Eighth ward, and there is not vacant
house to accommodate them.
Il trove over a large portion of the
Eighth ward the other day said City
Building Inspector Ellerbe yesterday
afternoon, and L did not see a vacant
house. People of whom l inquired
said there was not a house for rent in
the ward. Applications for houses,
they told me, were numerous and many
renters We're taking advantage of the
demand by subletting rooms"
How st. Paul is going to care for
the people, Mr. Ellerbe says, is a seri-
Gus problem, for of over 700 residences
erected this year. outside of several
apartment houses, only about so of
the number have been built for rental
purposes. The others were constructed
for immediate occupancy by the own
ers.
What is needed in st. Paul is cot
tages," said Mr.. Ellerbe. "They are the
most in demand, but as a result of past
bad speculation ST. Paul has just the
reverse-big barn-like frame buildings
that are an expense to the average
man of moderate circumstances. L
know of one man in St. Anthony Park
who has seventy small frame resi-
dences of the kind that are now in de-
mand, and he informs me that for the
past eight years he has not missed a
months rent from any of them. And
they bring him a good price, too"
Mr.. Ellerbe says that the men with
money cannot be blamed for their
present inactivity in respect to resi-
dence building, as they have been Sc
verely bitten in the past. If the de-
mand continues, however. he expects
to see over 1000 new small houses
added next year to st. Paurs large list
of buildings.
Building associations also, he thinks,
will begin soon to help out the strin-
gency as this is fruitful time for
them and they will soon take advan-
| tage of it.
