That we are in favor of a con-
gresham from this district who be-
lieves in Iowa ideas rather than
| Pennsylvania ideas,-one who be-
lieves that American producers and
consumers are more entitled to COM
petition than the monopolies and
trusts are to protection.
1--WE believe labor unions organized
for the betterment OF the condition of
wage earners, acting within the linn
it's of law and not subversive of pub
lie order, are not only lawful but COM
mendable and should be met, recog-
niZed and dealt with accordingly.
That we present to the voters of
| Mahaska county the candidates this
| day selected, upon their merits as
citizens and their various offices for
which they are named, and upon this
basis ask for their support prospect
