ILLEGAL ELECTION TREATING.
ITama News.1
John +. Lundt Tama county's repre-
sentative in the state legislature, has
introduced one of the most important
bills at this session of the Legislature
His bill If it became a law would pro-
hibit the use of cigars, beer, Whisky
money, etc, in connection with our
elections This would greatly reduce
the election expenses of candidates for
office. But the bill will not become
law, because, If for no other reason, II
was introduced by a democrat. There
is need of such a law. lit seems to US
that there ds more cheap whisky. CD
CARS and beer used to influence voters
in Iowa than in any other state in
which we have lived. AS the elections
are run in Iowa a poor man cannot
afford TO run for office. Office has
ruined. financially more men in Tama
county than it ever made rich Every
one knows this to be true.

The true reformers are just tcomiug
to-" Listen to this from the Lawrence
Gazette: SIT is reported that as soon
as the rumor came out that Governor
Bailey was going to run for the legis-
lature, Stubbs hiked up and had a
conference with him. A great team
Bailey and Stnbbs would make in the
lower house. Which reminds US that
few days ago in talking with a man
who is as we'll posted in Kansas poll
tics as any man in the state, he re-
marked that if Stubbs had any ambi-
ton to GO to the United States senate
he would have to rely upon machine
votes to send him there and that it
was probable in close fight Cy Le-
land would throw his strength to
Stubbs unless Governor Bailey was a
candidate. What does all this kind
of talk mean? Have we all been
worked for suckers on the great re
form movement ?''

Those pestilent fellows known as
"anti-imperialists" predicted two or
three years ago that our national inn
morality in plundering the Filipinos
and cheating the Porto Ricans would
react at home upon ourselves. Did
the reader of this paragraph ever
know a time when there was so much
embezzlement, highway robbery, and
motley violation of the rights of
others? Perhaps this is the purity of
our administration abroad reflected
upon the people at home, as Senator
Beveridge predicted.

The state house officials in Topeka
are facing another scandal that would
cause them to lay awake nights we're
it not for the fact that they are get
ting used to this sort of thing. The
records of the state mines at Lansing
show that 329 tons of coal have been
shipped 10 the state institutions and
lost in transit, at least there is no
record OF where this immense amount
Of fuel has gone to. An investigation
has been started and all of the officers
are standing around with their poe
kets turned inside out to show that
they have not secreted it about their
persons. This is rather a curious sit
uation,-a whole train load of coal
gone and no one knows where. You
can take your choice of the horns of
the dilemma, gentlemen, Ait is either
rascality or stupidity. Either should
cause you to be repudiated at the
polls.

One curious feature of the Colorado
situation was the recent closing of the
Partland mine by the military. 1t is
stated that this was done because this
mine was operated by union men, they
are driven out and the mine can only
be re-opened when the men employed
can show>non-unio cards. What is
Il uOn-union card and who is to issue
it? The Colorado military authori-
ties have adopted new method of
getting rid of their troublesome miners

load Last week special train was
started for Kansas with the intention
of dumping the men this side of the
state line. The sheriff of Hamilton
county saw danger to his county in
the move so be met the train at the
state line and refused to allow the
men to be brought into Kansas. They
were unloaded onNthe prairie and or
dered by the military to walk east.
The sheriff of Hamilton county order
ed them to walk west, and there you
are, they probably went straight up.
Most of these men are willing to work
and if Colorado will send few car
loads down this way in Il couple of
weeks they can find all the employ
ment they want in the Kansas wheat
