made the subject of official investiga-
tion by the department of commerce
and labor, according 10 a resolution CT
dered reported fayOrably to the house
by the committee on interstate and
foreign commerce. Should the house

man Hepburn, it will constitute the

Martin Makes the Charge.
The resolution was introduced in the
house Feb. 4 by Representative Mar
tin, of South Dakota. Martin was
given an extended hearing by the COM
mittCe, in which he made the assertion
that 1.-The beef trust" was violating the
spirit of the Injunction, if not it's let
ter. Should the investigation show viO-
latiOns of the injunction the matter
undoubtedly will be referred by the
president to the department of justice

l.. A. BROWN.

the candidate for county auditor, was
born at Moscow, Iowa, Feb. s, 1854, re-
moving when he was three years of age
with his parents to farm near Akron,
Mo-, where he resided until 1880, when
went to California and after remaining
there for five years returned to Akron,
where he was married and engaged in
farming until 1889 when he moved
to Davis City, Iowa, and engaged in
the general mercantile business in part
nership with l. N. jeffrey, which part
nership confined until 1898, when Mr..
Brown retired and engaged in business
for himself. For several years he bought
stock all over the southern part of this
county, and establishing reputation
for fair dealing with all with whom he
had business transactions. He has
twice been elected mayor of Davis City
the last time this spring when he was
elected by practical unanimous vote,
receiving 0S votes out of total of 100
cast at the election, which is evidence
of the high esteem in which he is held
by the citizens of his home town. He
has also served acceptably as justice
of the peace, being twice elected to this
position. He is a thorough business
man, in every way qualified to discharge
the duties Of the auditors office in a
business like manner, and if elected
which he certainly will be, will endeav-
or to fill the office to the satisfaction OF
the taxpayers, realizing at all times
that he is simply their servant, selected
to do their business for them.

much of an introduction. Mr.. Baker
was born and raised right here at Leon
where all of his life has been spent, and
has twice before been elected to the
Office for which he has now been nomi-
mated. Mr.. Baker was born at Leon on
Jan. 8, 1865, and after attending the
Leon Public Schools until he graduated
entered the State University at Iowa
City, where he took the law course and
was admitted to the bar in 1891, since
which time with the exception of one
year spent in Des Moines, he has been
engaged in active practice in the courts
of this county, and has built up repu-
tation as one of the ablest lawyers of
southern Iowa. He was elected to the
Office of county attorney in 1896 by a
majority of 164, and so we'll pleased were
the people of the county, that they re-
elected him again two years later, de.
feating Judge R. L. Parrish by the hand.

did not subject the taxpayers to any
needless expense, establishing a record
of conducting the Office with the least
expense of any county attorney since
the office was established. The people
all over the county are demanding thai
this office should be filled by lawyer O
experience and not use the Office tt
educate young lawyers at the expense
of the taxpayers, and in obedience tt
this demand the delegates by almos,
unanimous vote forced the nomination
on Mr.. Baker as he was not asking fol
the office. He can we'll afford to stant
on the excellent record which he made
wher holding the Office before, and un
less all signs fail, he will be elected
again by big majority.

JAMES c. cozAp.

candidate for clerk of the courts, is a
Decatur county product, having been
born in Morgan township, where all of
his life has been spent except when he
was away attending school, and engag-
ed in teaching. He comes from the we'll
known Cozad family, those sturdy
pioneers of the southeast part of this
county, his father being Jacob Cozad,
deceased, one of the leading farmers of
Morgan township. Since the death of
his father "Jim' has been the mainstay
and support of his widowed mother
and younger children, and although los
ing one of his legs when only nine
years of age, caused by white swelling,
he attended the local schools and when
he became older was student in the
Leon High school, going later to High
land Park College Des Moines, where he
completed his education, the money for
which he earned by teaching school in
which profession he has been very sue
scessful being at the present time prin-
cipal of the Pleasanton schools. There
is no better young man, or one who
commands higher respect from all who
know him in all Decatur county than
Jim" Cozad. He is a fine penman, well
educated, and quick to acquire new
duties, and he would make an ideal
clerk. Not single word can be said
against him, but all unite in uttering
words of praise for the manner in which
he has won his way in the world in
spite Of his physical disability. He was
nominated by practically the entire
vote of the delegates, receiving 1S1
votes out of total of 1913 on the first
formal ballot. The democratic party
made no mistake in nominating Mr.
Cozad for clerk, and he will be elected

for member of the board of supervisors
was born in Marion county, Iowa, June
10, 1854, and came the same year with
his parents to this county, settling on
farm just south of Decatur City where
he engaged in farming until 1886, when
he engaged in the mercantile business
at Decatur City, where he remained six
years, then went to Grand River to en-
gage in the same business, being emf
nently successful and is considered one
of the soundest and best business men
in southern Iowa. He has always been
a democrat and has ever taken an ac-
tive interest in county affairs. He did
not ask for the nomination, but his
friends pushed him for the place on ac-
count of the general belief that that
part Of the county was entitled to a
representative on the county board, and
the further fact that he would be safe
man to entrust with the business affairs
of the county. Personally Mr.. Covington
is one of the most popular men in the
county, his years of active business life
having given him large acquaintance
all over the west side of the county.
The board of supervisors is really the
most important office in the gift of the
people, for they represent in a direct
manner the business interests and vel
fara IF tho toypouoro of Tho oo,,+,, A.
member of the board Mr.. Covington
would look after the business of the tax
payers in the same careful manner that

assured that if elected he will not dis.

6. p. ARNOLD.
appoint you

the candidate for member of the board
for the vacancy or short term from
November to January, is now filling the
Office, having been appointed last De-
cember to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Ted Morris. During
the time he has served on the board Mr..
Arnold had demonstrated that he was
just the kind of a man for this position,
which came to him without seeking, and
the convention nominated him for the
balance of the vacancy by reclamation.
Mr.. Arnold is no stranger to the people
of this county, having served them as
representative in the legislature in an
acceptable manner. He is one of the
leading citizens and taxpayers of the
north side of the county, owning a large
farm adjoining the town of Garden
Grove, and has always taken an active
interest in public affairs. He is entitled
to serve out the balance of Mr.. Morris
term, and the chances are that the
voters will say that they want him to
remain in the Office the balance of this
year. Had it not been for the fact that
one candidate had already been selected
from Garden Grove township, it is more
than likely that Mr.. Arnold would have
been renominated for the full term, but
the rule has been in democratic conven-
tions not to nominate more than one
candidate from any one township, and
the nomination Of Mr.. Bunney for re-
corder forced them to select another
candidate for the full term. Guy Arnold
is splendid citizen in every respect
and has scores of friends all over Deca-
tur county who are pleased to vote for
him for any office within the gift of the
people.

ARTHUR c. BUNNEY

candidate for county recorder, was born
in Madison county, Ind, June II, 1852.
His parents moved to McLain county,
Ill, in 1854, and from there to Floyd
county, Iowa, in 1859, then to Harrison
county, Mo-, in 1871, where he attained
his majority and engaged in teaching
during the winter and farming in the
summer, having taught in Iowa, Miss
ouri, Illinois and Nevada. He was mar
ried to Miss Sarah A. Seymour, Of
Akron, Mo-, in 1878, and has five inter
esting children, the three oldest boys
being engaged in farming at Alberta,
Canada, and the younger son and daugh-
ter being at home. Mr.. Bunney resided
the greater part of the time from 1871
to 1895 near Akron, Mo-, Davis City, La
moni and Leon, and since 1895 at Garden
Grove, where he was engaged in the
hardware and implement business, be-
ing at the present time the manager of
Bowsher & Biddison's store at Garden
Grove. He is member of the Masonic,
Odd Fellow and K. of P. lodges. Mr..
Bunney is man Of unquestioned char
acter, strictly temperate and does not
use tobacco in any form. He has voted
the democratic ticket for almost twenty
years, ami has always been staunch
supporter of his party. Personally he
is one of the most popular men in the
county, and during the many years he
has been engaged in business has estab-
ilished reputation as being the soul OF
honor in all transactions. He was never
before candidate for any Office. AS to
his qualifications for the Office to which
he has been nominated, we can say
there is no man in the county who is
better fitted to perform the duties OF
the Office. He would, make careful
and accommodating county official, and
we believe the people will see that he is
elected.
