THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN

AT last, after many false starts, the
democrats have succeeded in nominal
Ing man to make the race for con-
gress IN the sixth Iowa district against
Major John F. Lacey. S. A. Brewster
of Ottumwa was chosen by the conven-
ton which met in Oskaloosa yesterday,
after T. D. Foster, General James B.
Weaver and George F. Rinehart had
positively refused to make the race.
Mr. Brewster in his speech to the
convention after the nomination had
been thrust upon him, stated that he
may withdraw and 1t was on his own
motion that the congressional commit
tee was given power to name candi-
date to fill the vacancy if one should
occur.
This gives the democratic party in
the sixth district blue outlook in
deed. Major Lacey, tried and true,
known all over the district for man
of worth and in congress as one of the
ablest members of that body, has rep
resented this district for many years,
and has never failed to grasp every op-
portunity to act in way that would
be for the benefit of his constituents.
His record is one of which any public
servant might be proud and one which
is equalled by few and excelled by
none in congress. Nominated against
him is man who admitted when
chosen that he may withdraw before
election, man who is at outs POLITICAL
ly with a large number of the men
whose support he must ask If he is to
secure the entire vote of the democrat
ic party in the district. He represents
party which is divided over several
questions. a party whose leading NOM
inee does not even know his own
mind, party Of individuals, of varied
likes and dislikes, widely differing
opinions conglomerate organization
comprising many men of many minds.
On the other hand the outlook from
republican standpoint was, never
brighter. The party comes before the
i people of the nation and of the district
with record of clear cut honesty and
unrivaled success, with leader whose
work has been uniformly just, wise and
with an eye always watchful for the
best interests of the country. Theodore

years ago to become nurse, leaving
behind her in happy home in little
Illinois town a trusting mother and
father, bowed with age, but proud of
their child. She fell into the grasp of
Carson and her father, who knows no
better than any other person, declares
that she has been hypnotized. When
Carson was arrested she refused to
leave him. She went to jail and
spurned all efforts to wean her from
her mad determination to remain with
him even if he were sentenced to the
gallows. Her aged father pleaded
with her, on his knees, to give up the
man who had brought disgrace upon
her but she did not heed him. Law
yers argued, police matrons tried to
persuade her, but she remained firm.
Her insane infatuation was so patent
to the jurors and even to the prosecut-
ing attorneys in the case that they
agreed to sentence of one year for
her although she was found guilty Of
the same crime for which her husband
was sentenced to the penitentiary for
the remainder of his natural life.
There are times when the public
stands aghast at the very limit to
which criminals will 60 1t is hard
for the average man to conceive of a
state of mind that will bring human
being to commit such offenses against
humanity. The Carson case is one of
these. Neither the ignorance, the
question of race nor any of the several
sometimes extenuating circumstances
enter into the affair He was educat-
ed had every advantage, was able to
make an honest living and to enjoy
life, but he took to crime. His pun
ishment is severe but not too severe
if he is guilty..
