The Hon. J. p. Cooley, who
was renominated by the demo-
cratic county convention for the
important Office of state senator,
was elected TO this Office by a
neat majority in 1902. Mr..
Cooley received the full demo-
cratic, supplemented by a large
republican vote. While il is
claimed that the republican voters
who gave their support TO Mr..
Cooley because they were disgust
ed with ring tactics, and eagerly
sought opportunity to repudiate
the disgraceful methods that
characterized the entire proceed
ing of the memorable Bon Homme
county republican convention in
1902, il is universally admitted
that Mr.. Cooley was pre-eminent-
ly the peoples candidate. Pos
sessed of every qualification,
thoroughly honest, keen witted
and intelligent, his character
above reproach, partizauship was
forgotten, party lines abolished,
and with full confidence the peo-
pie rallied to his support.
Have the honest, conscientious
voters of Bon Homme county any
cause whatever to repudiate their
action of two years ago? Did any
senator ever elected by our coun-
~ ever succeed in doing more for
his constituency? Was not his
every act as a member of the state
senate honorable, conservative
and for the best interests of the
citizen and tax payer? In short,
is not every man in Bon Homme
county who voted for James p.
Cooley fully satisfied with and
proud of his record as a senator?
To senator Cooley the Springfield
state normal school, the city of
Springfield and every friend of
education, is indebted for the
passage of the appropriation bill
of S24, 600. 90 for the building and
100000 for the furnishing and
maintaining of the Springfield
normal school dormitory.
Space forbids giving the details
of the passage of this bill, but a
careful reading of the senate and
house proceedings can not fail
to impress anyone that il was
passed after meeting and sur
mounting every obstacle, delay
and difficulty that could be strewn
in its path. Nc partizan republic
can senator could have forced the
passage of this bill. Senator
Cooley and his colleague legisla-
tors Koenig and Berndt had not
only to pacify the strongest kind
of opposition from the republic
can side of the house and senate,
but to wheel into line every demo-
cratic vote. Led by Mr.. Cooley,
who had never faltered for one
moment, who had Systematically
and with that rare tact and poll
teal accumen, possessed only by
a born leader, out-fought the OPP
position with the result that the
dormitory has been completed.
Look at this splendid granite
structure and ask yourself this
question: How can / conscien-
tiously diSavow my act of two
years ago, or vote for any other
man than James p. Cooley for
state ~SenatorS

The democrats at their county
convention at Tyndall last Satur-

ment on the south half of the
county in the nomination of Mr..

in business in Springfield for over
ten years and is numbered among
the most successful young bust

been the central committeeman

No official in Bon Homme
county has become more widely
ard favorably known within the
last two years than Auditor Jim
Kreycik. His conduct as an
officer has been clean, open and
above board. As a man he is
ranked among the most popular,
liberal and public spirited in the
cbanty. Mr.. Kreycik has the
fsteulty of making a friend of
cry man with whom he has
sociations either in a business

ongh he were a millionaire.
He was re-nominated at the late

the ifnpossibility of ousting him
from the position he has so
creditably held.

The Scotland Citizen-R Republic
can has the following TO say of
the democratic county convention
held in Tyndall last Saturday:
SIT is a good representative ticket
and will probably receive about
the normal vote of the party
which is about 200 votes short Of
enough TO elect" As to the
result of the probable vote we
differ from the above. The demo
cratic convention gave Scotland
three popular candidates: Robt.
Gund, candidate for sheriff;
Frank each, clerk of courts and
DIR. Hanlin, coroner. These cam
didateS, well known residents of

Cessful. He came to the senate with
the kind of practical knowledge which
schOOled him to care and usefulness as
a legislator. He steadily grew in the
esteem and confidence of both sides of
the senate and when his party OBJ
tanned the majority he was entrusted
with the responsible duty of chairman

Pretty Close Figuring for the Repub-

The arithmetic men of the republi-

states are naturally democratic.

Mr.. Roosevelt has made enemies in
Indiana. but there Is little of that de-

The Issue of Extravaganza.

New York World: In that classical
platform upon which Samuel J. Tilden
was elected president of the United
States in 1876 it was said:
Reform is necessary in the scale of
public expense-federal, state and
municipal.
Since the price the people have paid
to their taxgatherers is more than
thrice the sum of the national debt
and more tina ntwice that sum is for
the federal government alone we de
mand a rigorous frugality in every de
partment and from every officer of the
government.
In the platform upon which the peo-
pie are now asked to elect Judge Par
ker it is said:
Large reductions can easily be made
in the annual expenditures of the
government without impairing the
efficiency of any branch of the public
service and we shall insist upon the
strictest economy and frugality with
vigorous and efficient civil. military
and naval administration, as d right
Of the people too clear TO be denied or
withheld.
The democratic demand for economy
met with approval in 1876. How does
the situation against which the Par
ker platform protests now compare
with the one against which the Tilden
platform protested then?
In 1876 the total ordinary eXpendi-
lures of the government, aside from
interest on the public debt. were $l5S,-
216,526 in greenbacks. In 1903 the cor
responding expenditures were SAT-
$40, G22 in gold. This does not include
in either case the postal expenditures
paid from postal revenues.
In 1876. under Grant, the war de
partment, including river and harbor
work, called for $3S,070.SS9. In 1903.
under Roosevelt, it demanded Sis
GI9.52O.
In 1876, with all the Robson loot
ings, the navy cost $1S,9G3,310. In
1903 it cost $S2.61S.0 34, and for the
present fiscal year the naval apprOpri-
alton has mounted to $9S,005. 1904.
In 1876, eleven years after the civil
war. we were paying $2S,257.39G for
pensions. In 1908, with half the num-
Der of veterans living, the pension roll
was costing us $13S. 425.64G-almost as
much as the entire annual cost of run
ming the government under the eX-
Uravagant second administration of
Grant And now that President ROOse-
welt has enacted a service pension law
by executive decree the expense under
chat head will be still higher.
We are paying more for the navy
alone this year than we were paying
for army. navy and pensions combined
when Tilden declared that reform was
necessary to check the ruinOus eXtrav-
aSance of the government.
We are paying three times as much
for the army and three times as much
for the navy as we were paying as re-
Gently as the year before the Spanish
war. and we complained that the Nc
kinney administration was eXtrava-
giant then.
If Tilden could find in the little leak
ages of 1876 material for the over
throw of the party backed by the pOpu-
larity of the hero of AppomattOX. what
what could he do with the colossal
waste of today against party depend
ant upon the popularity of the hero of
San Juan hill? Ii is not often that any
man is confronted by an opportunity
so glittering as that now within the
easy reach of Judge Parker.

Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending June 20, 1904.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The average temperature of the past
week was slightly below normal, but
the weather conditions were favorable
for field work and general improve
ment of all crops. The six working
days of the week were mostly fair, dry
and warm, and the scattered showers
on the Is and 10 were timely and bene-
fetal to all growing crops. In por-
tons of the central and north central
districts there was considerable excess
on rainfall on the 10Th, but generally
the amount has been below normal.
All reports show excellent progress
in cultivation of the corn crop, and
the fields are now well cleaned, the
plants have a healthy color, and the
stand is nearly up to the average OF
former years. The larger part of the
crop has been cultivated twice, and a
portion is receiving its third blowing.
Though late and somewhat below nor,
NAL height, the general condition OF
the crop is promising.
Early seeded oats and barley are
heading. The meadows show vari,
able stand and condition, and the hay
crop will be lighter than in the last
two seasons, but the quality IS likely
to be better. The potato crop has
made fine progress and promises a
heavy yield. All crops are doing
notably we'll.
