vociferous.
Representative A. jacobson of this
county then talked very entertaining.
ly for few moments, dwelling mostly
upon local issues, the Importance of
getting out the vote and supporting
the county ticket. His speech was in
termingled with bursts of wit which
kept the audience in happy state of
mind while he was speaking.
The announcement that Senator
Dolliver would again speak was re-
ceived with round of applause. The
Senator's evening address was confined
almost entirely to discussion of the
duties of American citizenship. and
was an eloquent appeal for a greater
interest in the affairs of the state and
nation, and closer study CT politics.
Like the afternoon address it was
masterly effort, being listened to with
close attention and great pleasure.
The meeting closed with the singing
of America, and the big audience dis
persed, feeling highly gratified for
the privilege of hearing the great
speakers and DISTINGUISHED citizens
who had addressed them.

AN ESTIMATE OF ROOSEVELT.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge in Nc
Clure's magazine for November gives
the public the following glimpse of
President Roosevelt as he sees him:
"No man has lived the life of his
time so amply as he (; no one has shown
humanity in SO many phases no one
has wider sympathies or SO many in
terests. It would be worse than idle
for anyone, no matter how intimate
his knowledge, to fancv that he could
depict q character so many sided, so
tried and tested in such multiform ex-
periences within the space allowed
me here. His daily life does not differ
in any respect from that of any other
very busy man of great energy, who
finds rest and relief, not only in active
out of door life, but in wide and
constant reading of books---a habit. by
the way, quite as characteristic as any
others, but of which the newspaper
critics and humorists tell us little.
Theodore Roosevelt apprehends
very quickly. When he has thought
subject. out thoroughly and knows
what he means to do. he acts prompt
ly. When. after full consideration, he
has made up his mind as to what is
right, he is unbending but no man
has been in the White House for many
years who is so ready to take advice.
who has made up his miro more slow.
ly. more deliberately. and after more
consultation than Theodore Roosevelt.
Every nation. or rather every his
toric race. has certain attributes in
addition to the great and more obvious
virtues which it believes to be pc
culiarly it's own, and in which it takes
an especial pride. We of the United
States like to think of the typical
American as a brave man and an
honest man, very human, with no
vain pretense to infallibility. We
would have him simple in his home
life, democratic in his ways, with the
highest education that the world can
give, kind to the weak, tender and
loyal and true, never quarrelsome.
hut never afraid to fight with a strong.
sane sense of humor. and with strain
of adventure in the blood which we
shall never cease to love until those
ancestors of ours who conquered
continent have drifted a good deal
further into the past than is the case
today. These are the qualities which
all men admire and respect. and whic ch
thus combined we like to think Pc
culiarly American. As l enumerate
them l describe Theodore Roosevelt. -
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1904-11-02

AS election day draws near IL be-
comes more certain that the Republi-
can party is going to be continued in
power by the expressed desire Of an
immense majority Of voters. The
people had made up their minds before
the shouting and the hurrahing of the
campaign began. Recently. nnder the
questions of canvassing committees
from both great national parties. they
have revealed their minds. Every Re-
publican will vote for Roosevelt. no
matter what local disturbances affect
his ticket. Many who were Democrats
before 1896 will vote for Roosevelt, al
though. naturally. they say little
about their intention, and very large
number of independents have openly
declared for him.
The fact il that the Democratic party
has shown inability to manage the
affairs Of the nation. Its weakness
was SO conspicuously displayed when
it was last IN power that hosts of men
became convinced that it no longer
represented any branch Or contingent
of the intelligent people of the United
States. The free silver craze Of 1896
and 1900 completed the wreck Of q
once idolized party fetch. Thousands
of old-tims Democrats, thousands OF
young men with Democratic affilia-
tions. deserted the ancient standard
and came into the life and viRor Of
Republicans. There they remain.
The election this year will show
that the men who Joined the party Of
honest money in 1896 and in 1900 have
resolved to support the party of honest
money, of national prosperity. OF
sound, virile activity, in the work OF
international improvements. Of dig
nified, strong foreign policy, of pro.
lection to American citizens at home
aud abroad of equal opportunities and
justice to all. without regard to race,
color or religion.
It will reveal the earnest devotion
of hundreds of thousands of first
voters to the principles Of Republi-
canism.
Inefficiency, uncertainty, division
in council, these do not command the
interest and good will of the Ameri-
can people. The little coterie under
the wing of David b. Hill in New
York is going to have great object
lesson in the near future.
The country is safe in the hands of
the Republican party. Roosevelt and
Fair banks are typical Republicans.
Their Endorsement. by an immense
majority. is almost certain.

There are only two methods:
First. By making a cross in the
circle opposite the party name at the
head of the ticket. Unless you wish
to vote for all the candidates on one
ticket, the circle should NOE be
marked.
Second. BY making q cross in the
square opposite tha name of each can
didate for whom you wish to vote.
The polls open at 500 a. m. and
close at Z 100 p. nj.

Biennial elections would really give

Biennial elections would really give
as no state elections at all, for the
elections would come either in presi-
dential or congressional years. and in
terest in national affairs would CON-
pletely overshadow state issues, aud
they would be elected or lost sight of
entirely. 1t would also impair the
efficiency of county administrations.
says the Boone Democrat. With q
dozen men running on the ticket IN
each county it would be far easier for
dishonest or incompetent men to steal
into office under the stress of party
enthusiasm, than is the case at pre-
sent. For these and many other reasons
that might be given. we believe it is
to the interest of the masses OF the
people Of Iowa to defeat the amend
ment, and we are confident that it
they will study the matter carefully
and thoroughly understand it they
will do so.

Democracys candidates, Judge
Parker has said that if he had the
power he would give independence TO
the Filipinos at tine earliest possible
moment whom they showed their abili-
ty to take care of themselves. The
Republicans are already educating
those people to that end, and anything
their opponents might do would only
be continuation of the sagacity and
labor of the Republicans. The Filipi-
no matter should not be question in

For as far back as we have had any
knowledge of politics in this county.
it has been the practice of the demo-
cratic party to center it's concentrated
opposition against some particular ono
of the republican candidates. This
year they seem to have selected our
candidate for county attorney, Mr.. w.
NJ. Strand. against whom the sole
effort of the county campaign. feeble
though it is. has been made. 1t is
scarcely necessary for rs to refer to the
matter. for a large majority OF the
people of the county know Mr.. Strand.
He was chosen from an abundance Of
candidates for the nomination BY the
votes of men representing every Sec
tion of the county, which ought 70 be
sufficient endorsement. Not single
word can be said against his character
or his standing in the community

perience, we heard the attorney with
whom he read law for over two years
say in public meeting the other
evening that, he was enc OF the most
| industrious students he had ever had
in his office. and that when he was ad-
mittod to practice he passed one OF the
best examinations in q large class OF
applicants. Since he was admitted to
the bar he has been steadily in prac-
tice, and has made good record,
winning various contested cases. one
