The Dubuque Times, in commenting
upon Marshalltown politics, says: An

tionists has been consistently declined
by the socialists of Marshalitown.

that rum is the parent of want

made from the pulpit and soothing at
the idea of debate. Rev. Hull replied
to this with doctrinal discussion and
some sarcasm as to Methodism. Rev.
Pye then reconsidered. thinking that
since the Spirtualists had proposed a

a professional on Spiritualism to argue
his side of the case. which he did in
the selection of Rev. Clark Braden. of
McConnelsville. Ohio.
Whether Rev. Pye knew it or not.
there seems to have been no little Ill
feeling extant between the two cham
pions named. Bad blood aroused in
frequent former debates of this kind

one another. Rev. Hull objected to

publican voters who wish to participate
in the primary election on March be-
gan at l2 o'clock The registry boards
will be open until this evening. and
unless you registered this afternoon at
tention to the matter should be given

err registration will make no difference,
as this is a special registration for pri-
mary election only. No one can register
on primary day. and no one can swear
in his vote. 1t rests with the voter
alone; If he would vote he must reg
lister.
Early registration was very satisfac-
tory, and at 2 O'clock. just two hours
after the boards Went into session, a
total of 25S votes had been registered.

lows:

The registration in the Second and
Third, 1t will be seen, is as large as
could be expected in so short time az
ter the books were open. The lighter
registration in the other wards is ac-
counted for by the fact that large labor
votes are polled In those precincts, and
the voters have not had time to attend

The registration boards will be In
session again on Monday. beginning at
