The Journal last week devoted con-
siderable space in urging every republic
can to vote the straight republican
ticket. The voters of the county should
remember that the utterances of the
Journal are simply the utterances of it's
owners, Marion f. Stookey and j. d.
Brown Do not forget that Marion r.
Stookey is candidate for senator and j. ID.
Brown is the candidate for representa-
tive from this county. How do men
who advocate such voting on the part
OF the republicans this year expect any
democrat to scratch his tickets and vote
for either one of them. Let every
voter do his duty this year and vote in
| the interest Of the farmer and labore1
and against the candidates who ride on
railroad passes, and elect them to stay
| at home.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1903-10-22

The campaign is passing along very
quietly here in Decatur county. The
voters are familiar with about every
candidate, know their strength and
weakness, their reputation for honesty,
truth and veracity and their ability to
fill the office for which they are candi-
dates. IL is recognized fact that the
democratic ticket is very strong, com
posed of some of the very best men of
the county, men who il elected to the
office will fill the positions well and
faithfully. There are no grafters on
the democratic ticket, no man given to
Doodle nor in the clutches of the bood-
lers. The voters of the county without
regard to party, acknowledge these
facts and are acquainted with the men
on our ticket.

''There is no doubt that the liquor
element of the state is supporting
Cummins in the gubernatorial contest.
They wish to reward him for the help
they received ten or twelvel years ago
in breaking down prohibition. They
also expect further assistance from him
in the same direction, if he should be
nominated and elected. Hence, that
class is giving him their support. Tenn
perance people should remember this
and cast their influence in favor OF a
candidate who does not favor saloons
and has never been untrue to the party.

respect journal, May 23d, 1901, Page

Two terms i. long enough for any

Two terms is long enough for any
man to occupy county Office, and there
is no valid reason why the voters should
give any man a life time lease on a
county office. There are too few Offices
and too many good men. Divide these
things around and it will suit every
body better. The republican candidate
for county superintendent is asking for
third term this year, and on this
ground he should be defeated. Vote
for Eli Hutchinson, the democrat candi-
date, and stamp the third term business
with your disapproval.

''Men sell themselves, their souls and
their honor for money" moralizes the
Dubuque Telegraph. "Yet when the
race of life is run they are sorry for
having done so. We are here only for
little while and it should be our aim
rather to do that which we conceive to
be right, to lend our shoulders to the
wheel that marks the betterment of the
world than line our pockets with geld
that we cannot take with US, and that,
without conscience ease is powerlsss to
bring happiness"

There never was a better or more pop

There never was better or more pop
ular man asking for the support of the
voters of Decatur county than Tom
Wallace, the democratic candidate
for sheriff. Not single word can
be said about him and he would
make model officer. Two years ago he
came within fifteen votes of being
elected, and his defeat was caused that
year by democrats staying away from
the polls. See that every democratic
voter in your township goes to the polls
this year if you have to take your own
team and go after few.

The New York Press, a rock-rooted

The New York Press, a rock-rooted
republican organ, gives prominence to a
rumor that Secretary Shaw has designs
on the presidential nomination next
year in case the tantagonism to Mr..
Roosevelt should assume sufficient pro-
portions in the meantime. The Press
says: at is limited in Washington that
as Benjamin Harrison had his Blaine to
quit his cabinet and combat him in the
national convention. SO Roosevelt may
have his Shaw. While there have been
no open rupture in the relations
between the president and his secretary
thus far. certain good friends Of the
president have not looked with favor or
Secretary Shaw for several months"

Fourteen years ago Capt. j. D. Brown
was the republican candidate for repre-
sentative, but the voters of Decatur
county by good majority said they did
not want him to represent them in the
Legislature, and since that time he has
always acted for the railroad company.
The voters of Decatur county will again
emphasize the fact that no railroad
lobbyist need expect to represent this
county when they go to vote this fall.

1--WE are inclined to the opinion that an intelligent
investigation of the question of railroad taxation,
which takes into consideration all the circumstances
of the cost earnings and other condition of the roads
upon which decision should be based will show that
the railway corporations taxed nearyf not quite
as high owners of other property. Journal Aug
22d, 1901, Page 2, column 3.
The above articles in the Journal
were actuated by it's desire to aid the
railroad company in securing a nominal
assessment on it's property, and made in
the face of the fact that as shown by
the statement of the railroad officials
as complied by authority of State, the
G. B. s. Q. r. r. from Charlton to Mt.
Ayr, earned S94S.00 per mile for the
year 1901. In proof of this fact see
abstract of Reports of Railroad compan-
les for the year ending December 81,
1901, at this Office or at the county
auditors Office.

The advice of Bishop Fowler to young
ministers is to marry women with
plenty of common sense, rather than a
superiluity of picty. This advice he
gave in an address at conference at
Sioux City. He said if a woman had
common sense and no religion she could
get the latter after marriage. But if
she has picty and no common sense, she
is liable to backslide after marriage.
