Make up your mind to vote for Roy
Brown for county auditor and do your
share in rebuking the Leon ring and it's
despicable methods. Mr.. Brown is a
gentleman who is worthy of your sup
port, fully qualified for the Office, and if
elected will do his utmost to fill the
Office in a manner which will please the
general public, and he is man who
never does things half way. He is the
man for the Office and don't allow your
self to be misled into voting for another
candidate.

Knowing ones in the republican party
are conceding the election Of James
Cozad to the office of clerk of the courts
and when the votes arc cast it wifi be
found that he has big majority. He is
crippled to be sure, having lost his leg
from white swelling when he was boy
eight years old, but by his indomitable
energy and pluck has made his way in
the world, and at the same time was
making friends of all who became &C
quainted with him. He will make a
model clerk.

What about Sam Covington for men,
Der of the board of supervisors. 1t is
to the interest of every taxpayer in De-
catur county that good live business
man be a member of the board to look
after the finances Of the people. Sam
Covington has made a success of his
own business affairs and he would ex-
ercise the same careful business meth
DDS in administering the county s affairs.
Lay aside party prejudice and vote for
the man, and if you do this you will
surely cast your vote for Mr.. Covington
for member of the board.

The biennial election amendment is
brought to the front occasionally by
some one who seems to realize that an
election is soon to be held and that the
duty of the press is to inform the public
what the state issues are. Perhaps no
time in the history of Iowa has there
been such lethargy concerning impor-
tant questions. But few are interested
in the manner in which the campaigns
are carried on but all seem more or less
satisfied with the present system and
that when the votes are counted it will
be seen no change is wanted.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1904-10-20

81 sincerely hope that the biennial
election laws does not carry in Iowa
this fall said Jerry B. Sullivan the
other day. Elections are the greatest
educators the American people have
today. They keep them stirred up and
keep their attention on public policies,
enabling them to vote and act intelli-
gently when the time comes for their
expressions. Another thing against
biennial elections is the fact that there
will be no opportunity to confne cleo
tions to state issues. Issues of the
greatest Importance will be lost sight
of in the national campaigns. Annual
elections also prove safeguard against
Offices being polluted by 'grafters.' The
hum of a campaign causes a general in
vestigation and if anything is radically
wrong, the public is likely to find it
out"
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1904-10-20

There being some controversy in re-
gard to whether there was vacancy
on the board of supervisors to be filled
at the election this year, the matter has
been settled by the democratic and re
publican county committees agreeing
that neither of them would file a nomi-
nation for the vacancy, the Office being
conceded to Mr.. G. P. Arnold, the pres
ent very efficient member, and he will
be allowed to hold the office until the
first Of the year without opposition.

The Leon Journal which has reputa-
ton of making more false statements
than any paper in southern Iowa, last
week made the absurd statement that
all Of the candidates on the republican
county ticket were farmers except
Poush and Kelley. We have heard OF
A. S. Tharp, the republican candidate
for clerk, being accused of many things
but never before have we heard that he
was farmer, it remaining for the ever
truthful Journal to make this discovery
The facts are that only two Of the five
candidates on the republican ticket are
farmers, but that is about as near, cor.
rect as the Journal ever gets things.

A. G. Bunney, the democratic candi-
date for county recorder, is going to be
a winner. From all over the county
comes word that many of the best re
publicans will support him, knowing his
integrity and qualifications for the
Office, and at the same time desiring to
rebuke the little clique of Leon poll.
ticians who have controlled the nomin.
ations of the republican party in this
county and turned down many worthy
men. It's going to be hard year fol

Only two weeks from next Tuesday il
election.

There is no dissatisfaction with the
nominees Of the democratic county con-
yention among the democrats of the
county. They are all men who possess
ability and who have the integrity to
perform the duties to which they aspire
with accuracy and care. 1t has been
the common remark that the nominees
are especially well qualified and they
are all old party workers who have
shown by their past record that they
were deserving Of the support of their
party and they will certainly receive it.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1904-10-20

The candidates on the democra tic
county ticket are all men Of ability and
fully qualified to fill the Offices to which
they aspire. They were the choice of
nearly every delegate to the county
convention and were not selected by
little clique of Leon politicians months
before the convention was held, as was
the case with the republican candidates.

Paraphrase from shaw's speech:

The Leon ring is making a desperate
effort to whip into line the independent
liberal voters in the republican party Of
this county, but unless all signs fail
they are having a hard time of it. The
people are sick and tired Of the ring
and it's methods.

Meets.
SELECTING DATE FOR PRIMARY.
County Committee to Meet and Call
Primary for Senator, Legislators and
County Officers-Who viii BE En-.
titled to Vote Then.

The candidatal hosts IN Sumter
county will be informed today as to
the time of their victory or defeat; the
day upon which some will quaff of the
cup of happiness which success brings
them, while others, many others. will
hunt deep hole in the lowgrounds OF
sorrow.
For the county committee will meet
this morning and call the primary.
With the date of election thus set
tied the candidates can guage their
pace accordingly, though most of them
are already champing the bit in man
ner insuring real Dan Patch time.
The committeeman from the nine
districts of the county will assemble at
the office of Judge Pilsbury, There the
situation will be discussed and date
which, in their opinion, will best sub
serve all interests, selected for the pri-
mary in Sumter.
It has been suggested that April 10Th
might be the date selected.
This is the date of the state primary,
and the executive committee may deem
it best to have the county primary at the
same time, thus avoiding the necessity
for two elections this spring.
However, they are the ones to pass
upon this impor tant question.
The matter as to who will be entitled
to vote will also be considered by the
committee. OF course any voter not
yet registered, and who is legally quail
flied to do so, may yet register for this
primary.
Chairman Brown, of the state demo-
cratic executive committee, says the
rules of the committee are in accord
ance with law, and those registered in
1908 are entitled to vote in the state
primary this year,
Upon this line Chairman Brown is
also quoted as follows:
"Where any county holds it's primary
on the same day and in conjunction
with the state primary it must abb lie
by rules laid down by the state COM
mittee. IF it holds it's primary on any
other day, is can adopt sach rules as il
may deem proper"
Where any voter Is in doubt as to his
registration he had best call upon Tax
Collector I. B. Small, where the regis
tration books are on file.

The ladies who have used Newbro's
Herpicide speak of it in the highest
terms, for its quick effect in cleansing
the scalp Of dandruff and also for it's ex-
cellence as a general hair-dressing. 1t
makes the scalp feel fresh and it allays
that itching which dandruff will cause.
Newbros Herpicide effectively cures
dandruff, as it destroys the germ that
causes it. The same germ causes hair to
fall out, and later badness; in killing it,
Herpicide stops falling hair and prevents
badness. 1t is also an ideal hair dress
