THE MACHINE.
Bronson

In circular letter issued Aug.
9th by the newly converted"
republican league E. A. Wearne is
contemptuously referred to as the
chairman of the republican machine.
Now fayorite argument advanced
10y the Levoy republicans is "the
machine" It's iniquities are dwelt
upon, it's corruptness is told and
retold with gusto; voters are
informed that their political liber-
ties are controlled, dominated,
abridged by the terrible machine;
that men and measures are dis
posed of at the command OF the
machine; that the wishes OF the
people are disregarded and the will
of the machine substituted; that no
man can become candidate with
out the permission of the machine;
that punishments and rewards are
dealt out by the machine; and a lot
more such tommy rot. What is not
told is that it is the purpose of the
Levoy jenkins bunch to replace this
machine by another, no member of
which will want office, county
deposits or special privileges-in
short syndicate, but nevertheless
machine. 1t must be admitted that
organization is necessary whether in
church, society, lodge or political
party. This being the case, it is up
to the voters of Day county to
determine in whose hands the des-
TIMES of the great republican party
may be most safely entrusted
whether in the hands of the newly
converted" republicans of the Levoy
Jenkins Frank Anderson stamp or
in the hands of those who have
stuck faithfully to the republican
colors for these many years. In the
hands of those who have suddenly
discovered that they are republi-
cans and that the republican policy
which has brought prosperity and
contentment to the country is all

republican league out OF their share
of the depositsf Certainly not, and
no sensible person would 80 accuse
them. The utter absurdity of the
Worlds statement is shown in the
closing sentence, "the income from
that source(the hundred Of thousands)
is greater than the cost of all the
county offices put together" The
World recently figured Incorrectly,
however) that the cost of mainten-
ance of seven branches of the county
government cost over $4,000.
Take the remaining eight branches,
with attending expenses, and it
would on the basis of ethe Worlds
figures cost at least $4,000 or a
total of say $4,000. Take an
interest rate of 4 per cent and it
would require one million dollars to
return such an amount. Or say
that the county offices cost but $780,
600, then it would require deposits
of $750,000, at per cent Do you
not see the absurdity of the article?
Some time ago the World in spirit
of braggadocio stated that no one
allied with their cause would be so
foolish as to make charges which
they could not prove. Now Mr..
Bronson here is an opportunity for
you to make good. Produce the
names of the banks who have on
deposit hundreds of thousands of
dollars" of state and county funds.
When this is done, tell your readers
Just how this immense sum reaches
the machine. Who are the bankers
who turn it over and who are the
benefciaries For the benefit Of

county funds on deposit in the IA

"The league charges that humid
reds of thousands of dollars of state
and county funds have been placed
in the keeping of the Day county
machine for its private use without
interest and that the income from
that source is greater than the cost
of all the county offices put
together Webster World.
This charge is practically re-iter-
ated in circular letter sent out
over the signatures of George G.
Dunton and z. B. Jenkins. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars!
Count 'em. 1t serves to sh ow to
what desperate straits the insur-
gents are driven for argument when
they scatter broadcast over this
county, such barefaced falsehoods
as the above, and it speaks but little
for their political acumen when they
ask people to believe such stuff. In
every district, there is commits
sioner who can be asked as to the
truth of such assertions. In every
town there are bankers who can, if
they will, testify to the falsity of
this statement. The county treas
urer's books are open to inspection
of the public so far as the deposits
of county funds are concerned. 1t
is the duty of any citizen who is
inclined to believe such statements
to inform himself as to the true
state of affairs. The World editor
when he wrote this article, and when
he wrote the letter referred to,surely
must have known it was false. 1t
may be that Dunton, viewing with
jealous distorted vision the con-
stantly growing deposits of his COM
petitors, jumps to the conclusion
that it is due to deposits OF state
money and impressed the editor
with his views. This is charitable
view of the matter. In the first
place, there is not single dollar OF
state money deposited in any bank
in Day county. The average Of
county funds deposited by the county
treasurer runs in the neighborhood
of $4,000, and this is divided
between IA banks, IL in Day county,
two in Marshall county. The politi
cal beliefs of the owners of these
banks cuts no figure in this distri
bution-Egge and Ddnton receive
their share as does the others. The
amount on deposit varies with the
time of year, as for instance, when
the taxes are being paid in the fall
the deposits are much higher than
in the summer months. All deposits
are subject to call. A bank may
have on deposit one day $4,000
and the next day it may have but
$1,000. Even if there were "hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars" on
deposit in Day county, how in the
name of goodness does the machine
receive any benefit Do these
bankers 60 down in their pockets
and contribute month by month to
the members of this machine9 Do

We have read the World with a
good deal of interest the past few
weeks. We have been somewhat
surprised at the accusations made
against the machine. Talk about
the methods used. There has never
been any methods SO strong as those
employed by T. E. Egge, a member
of the Levcy- Dunton Jenkins repub-
lican league. Last spring prior to
the election he called Gustav Sun
dahl into the back room of the bank
and told him who were the candi-
dates in the First ward and how he
desired him to vote. On election
day the cashier of the bank, 7. E.
Egge, got his clerk into the buggy
and took him Gustav Sundahl) up
to the power house 1.-THE voting pre-
cinct of the First ward) and went
before the judges Of election where
they secured two ballots-the regu.
lar republican ticket and the boxer
republican ticket-he handed the
boxer ticket to Mr.. Sundahl and
told him shat is the ballot for you
to VOTE" But he reckoned without
his host. Gust Sundahl was man.
He was not clay in the hands of a
banker filed with petty jealousies
and spite to mould as he (the
banker) would. Sundahl decided to
vote as his conscience dictated and
accepted no dictation from any one
and so therefore resigned his posi-
ton and was out of a job. Egge
did not desire man working for
him whom he could not use AS he
saw fit and therefore did not insist
on Mr.. Sundahl remaining. But
this was only one of Egge's stunts.
When c. E. Blegen came in from
Lynn township as a delegate on
May %, the cashier Of the Security
Bank of Webster, one of the mem.
bers of the Levoy- Dunton j Jenkins
republican league, that organization
of fair minded republicans who
believe in fairness, the rights OF the
poor man, who are sorry for the
oppressed, who hate corporation
rule, who damn the money power
who are fighting against corrup
practices in politics, who desire te
