While Watching the ball game Sunday
afternoon, Fred Sutherlin failed to keep
an eye on the ball and it struck him on
the head, cutting a severe cash in his
forehead. Several stitches were requir-
ed to stop the flow of blood. This ought
to be a lesson to some of the younger
boys to keep behind the backstop when
the ball is in motion. Davis City Lariat

The democrats of Decatur county
have placed in nomination a ticket COM
posed of splendid candidates, deserving
of the support Of the voters, and one
that should be elected from top to bot
tom. SO far they have done well, but
there is much more to do, The party has
performed it's first duty, and now it re-
mains for them to finish good job. The
candidates cannot do all the campaign
work that is necessary, and they must
have the support of the party at large
if they are to be elected. The princi-
pal thing to be looked after is to see
that every democrat in the county goes
to the polls this year. Two years ago
if one more democrat in each town
ship had gone to the polls Tom Wallace
would have been elected sheriff. This
must not occur again this year. There
should be no stay at home democrats.

The Burlington Gazette says Jerry
Sulliyans speech ''has the true ring of
democracy, and he goes at it with a
mind we'll stored with facts in regard to
the taxation question. He realizes that
it is one of the fundamental principles
lying at the foundation OF free govern
ment. The taxation question was what
brought about the revolution and our
independence. He is for strictly
revenue tariff.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1903-10-01

With the approach of election there
comes an increase in the interest taken
in local politics this year. Reports
from all sections Of the county are to
the effect that democrats are united on
the county ticket and the best of feel
ing prevails for every candidate. This
is indeed gratifying and unless all
signs fail the democrats will have
reason to rejoice when the returns
come in.

The Leader notes with much pleasure
that it's good friend E. J. Sankey of
Leon, has been nominated by the demo-
Gratis of Decatur county for the office Of
representative. No better man than
E. ]. Sankey ever lived. An old soldier
who lost limb in the war Of the rebel
lion, an Industrious, loyal, patriotic
citizen and democrat among demo-
Gratis, his election ought to be made
practically unanimous. With such men
as E. j. Sankey of Leon in the legisla-
ture, trickery and political chicanery
would soon become thing of the past,
while the vocation of the lobbyist would
become a hazardous and poorly paying
position. We have sufficient confidence
in the intelligence and patriotism Of
the voters of Decatur county to warrant
us in the prediction that they will make
Mr.. Sankey's election certain. Seymour
Leader.

passumpsic Congregational Club.

The May meeting of this organization
was held with the church at Wells River
on Thursday. The principal feature OF
the morning session was an address by
Rev. DR.. D. N. Beach upon "Tramping
in the Scottish Border" DR.. Beach had
a most appreciative audience and they
were charmed with his description OF the
lake country, the homes OF Burns, Scott
and Carlyle and the interesting modern
and ancient history that was made along
the Scottish border. At O'Clock Land
lord Hale served one of his famous din
ners at Hale's Tavern and 65 guests
were present to enjoy it. The postpran-
dial exercises contested of the greeting by
the pastor of the Wells River church,
Rev. J. A. Belanger; response by the
president, Rev. A. F. MacGregor of New
port, and two short addresses. Rev.
Henry ]. Kilbourne spoke eloquently OF
THE New Congregationalism," citing
Robert E. Lewis of Shanghai, so well
remembered in St. Johnsbury, as one OF
the examples of those who are making
religious history. "What Happened
when Crossed the Flat" was the sub
ject OF Richard B. Easlman's address. II
was vivid and inspiring talk, accom-
panied bv copious extracts from Carlyle
Walt Whitman and Matthew Arnold
There was a good attendance from New
port to Bradford, and all voted it one

ings the club has ever held.
