A. Q. Bunny, the democratic candidate
Tor county recorder is making splendid
Roadway with his canvas. He has re-
tired from the business position which
ne held at Garden Grove and will de-
vote all of his time until the polls close
In making an active canvas for the
Office. He does not hesitate to say he
wants the Office, and we believe the
voters of the county will agree with
him and see that he receives majority
OF the votes cast. There is no man in
the whole county who is more deserv-
ing or better qualified to serve as the
servant of the people than Mr.. Bunny,
and if elected he would not forget that
he was elected to the office to serve the
people. Not single word can be said
against Mr.. Bunny as citizen or bust
ness man. He writes splendid bust
ness hand, just what is needed in the
recorders office, and if elected he would
serve the people in an acceptable man
ner. Vote for Mr.. Bunny and reward a
good man.

If Geo. W. Baker is elected county
attorney, the taxpayers of Decatur
county will know that it will result in
a great saving in the criminal court
costs which they have to pay. Mr..
Baker served as county attorney from
1897 to 1901, and during the time he
held the Office the criminal court ex-
penses were held down to the lowest
possible figure, and he conducted the
office with the least expense that any
county attorney has ever done, while at
the same time he prosecuted the yio-
laters of law most vigorously. He will
not be an unknown quantity in the
Office, nor will he have to be educated
in the practice of law at the expense Of
the taxpayers. He has been thorough
ly tried and is competent to fill the
office to the satisfaction of the tax
payers.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1904-10-06

The editor of the Leon Journal seems
to have mania for accusing the demo-
cratic county candidates of having
made assignments. He recently retract-
ed the statement that Mr.. Bunney, can
didate for recorder had made an assign
ment, and it is now up to him to retract
the statement that L. A. Brown, candi-
date for auditor had made two assign
ments, which everyone in the vicinity
of Davis City where Mr.. Brown has re-
sided for many years knows to be false,
and the Journal editor could very easily
have found out whether his statement
was true before he published the
slanderous article. L. A. Brown is re-
garded as man of honor by all with
whom he has ever had any dealings in a
business way, and the attempt of the
Journal to besmirch him, will fall flat.
In this connection it might be well to
add that the record Of every candidate
on the democratic county ticket is a
clean one. They are all men of we'll
known integrity, and it will take some
thing more than the mouthings of the
editor of the ring organ to convince
the voters of Decatur county that they
are not the best men named for the
! various Offices.

Col. Pete hasn't saw fit as yet to
answer the open letter addressed to
him by Henry Wallace, the talented
editor of Wallace's Farmer, although
such good republican papers as the
Marshalltown Times-Republican and
others have come out in editorials de-
handing that Hepburn should answer
But the Willy Peter knows when he is
up against it, and it's dollars to dough
nuts that he will not open his mouth,
but will rely on the big republican ma
jority in this district to land him in con-
gress again, here he will continue to
serve the interests of the railroads and
meat trust, and forget all about the
farmers and stockmen in his own dis.
trict.

In his canvas for the Office of county
auditor, Mr.. L. A. Brown, the demo-
cratic candidate is meeting with en-
couraging success. Roy Brown is a
man of sterling worth and integrity,
entirely competent to fill the office of
auditor. He has had business dealings
with the people all over this county for
many years and has always been found
true blue, and no man can be found who
can say a word against him. Many
leading republicans in the vicinity of
his home have come out openly and
announced that they will support him
for the office and there is no reason why
any democrat in the county should vote
against him. He is a hustlerl andi is
making votes every day, and the
changes are most fattering for his cleo
ton.

1t looks as if "Jim' Cozad, the one
legged candidate on the democratic
ticket for clerk of the courts was going
to run like scared wolf. Mr.. Cozad
comes from one of the best families in
the county, is young man who has
made his way in the world under most
adverse circumstances, and if he has an
enemy in the county we have not heard
of him. Down in the southeast part of
the county where he was born and
raised they say he will come pretty
near getting the unanimous vote of the
citizens of that part of the county, who
are bent on seeing him installed as
clerk. He is good penman, thorough
ly versed in business methods and
would make an ideal county officer,
courteous and obliging to the people
who have business at the clerks office.
Don't forget "Jim" when you are maxi
ing up your mind who you will vote for
this fall.

There is some question as to whether
there will be vacancy for the Office of
member of the board of supervisors,
many well posted men claiming that
there will be no vacancy and that Mr..
G.P Arnold, who is now serving as
member of the board, having been APP
pointed to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Ted Morris will hold
the Office until the first meeting of the
board in January, and it seems to be the
wish of the people that he should fill
the Office until that time. Mr.. Arnold
has made a splendid record on the
board, and in case it is necessary to
elect member to fill the six weeks
term from election until the first of the
year, he should receive the vote of
every taxpayer in the comfy.

Sam Covington, the democratic candi-
date for member of the board of super
visors is receiving Hattering assurances
of support from the farmers and bust
ness men all over the county. They
know that he is careful and conserva-
tive business man, and that is the kind
of man the taxpayers want to repre-
sent them on the county board. If the
taxpayers will consult their business
interests they will make up their mind
to vote for Mr.. Covington. They need
him on the board and he should be
elected by a large majority.

During holy or passion week--the last
week previous to Easter Sunday--the
American passion play Is performed In
two or three different localities In
northern New Mexico. Years ago the
drama was acted in thrice as many To-
calitles In Colorado, Texas and New
Mexico, but the influence OF the Roman
Catholic church and the Protestant
missionaries has been brought to bear
against the passion play TO such a de-
gree that in these days the scenes in
the travail Of Jesus Christ are enacted
only In localities distant from the beat
en- paths Of travellers, and remote from
civilization and the eyes Of priest or
missionary. The actors are half-Span-
ish descendants Of the ancient A2tecs,
the remnants Of the people whom Cor
onado and his troops came TO conquer
IN 1910. Their sturdy red skinned an
cestors learned from the Jesuits the
lessons of Christianity, and animated
