THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

When YOU go to the polls next
Tuesday. vote the republican ticket.
We say this because we believe that
this is an important year for the party
and for politics at large. 1t is the
duty of republicans to stand by their
party this year, not simply because a
certain person happens TO be the party
nominee, but because there is much
at stake. The election this fall will
have much bearing upon the great ma
tional contest of 1908, and it is i'm
portant that the republican majorities
be kept as large as possible. 1t is a
matter of principle. If you believe
that republican principles, policies
and practices are the best for the pros
perity of the people and the preserva-
tion of a government by and for the
people, vote the republican ticket.
We refer to the county ticket as we'll.
The practice of scratching grad
ually undermines the party, as has
been the history in many counties OF
Iowa, and elsewhere. and while possi-
bly, voters may not be- able to agree
with the majority as to every name
upon the ticket, they should forget
their little differences for the good OF
the whole party. The republican
ticket this fall is composed of good
men, most of them have proven their
worth, and we hope to see the entire
ticket elected by large majorities.

"The Girl and the Bandit"

The opening scene of the opera,
which will be seen here Saturday
night is laid in an Italian city. A
romantic old palace faces cafe of
pronounced picturesqueness, and near
by is u canal on which the gondolSs
float. This gives an opportunity for "a
magnificent production, of which the
management is able to take advan-
tage. The palace is conducted as "a
seminary for young women, young
American women, who desire, mostly
on the persuasion of their parents, to
invest the family moneys in an Italian
nobleman.
The young ladies in attendance are
fair to look upon, but by far the
fairest is the granddaughter of the
owner of the palace, Violetta, who
shows the noble strain that seems to
be dormant in the soul of the old lady.
She is beautiful girl and loves her
poet, Angelic, with that enthusiasm
common to women of the Italian race.
The management of the Grand are
looking for big house, and suggest,
that the patrons will secure their
seats in which can be had at
Brunt q Parman's.

ELECTRIC LINE PROMOTER HERE.
Confers With Business Men Concerning Pro
posed Line. Which he Says Will
Surely be Constructed
Through This
City.

Mr.. W. P. Mason of Minneapolis,
promoter of the proposed electric line
from Minneapolis to Dubuque via
Rochester, Decorah and Elkader, was
in the city Thursday. on his way
over the route to confer with the
citizens concerning the proposed line.
He spent the day talking with the
business men, looking up statistics,
routes, etc. and arranging prelimin-
airy matters for the surveyors, whom
he says will reach Decorah about Sat
urday of this week.
Mr.. Mason seems TO be certain that
the road will be built He says that
all necessary arrangements have been
made for financing it, that several
preliminary surveys have been made,
and that the route will be exactly as
outlined in the drawing which ap-
peared in this paper two weeks ago.
with one or two minor changes. 1t
will be three-rail road, with over
head trolley lines through the towns,
and construction will commence in
the spring. starting both at Rochester
and Dubuque. He is asking no bonus
whatever of the towns or country peo-
pie, except the right of way, which
he desires to have donated in order to
have the people along the line favor
,,taracka1 int a1i 20
power stations will be built, one at
Rochester and the other at Decorah.
The road will be standard guage,
with the best possible grade, and mo-
dern in every respect.
A committee of gentlemen from
Frankville called on him while here,
to urge that the route pass through
that village, and impressed strongly
upon him the advantages to be OBJ
tanned by this route.
Mr.. Mason desired us TO state to
the public that already there are
grafters going over the territory
representing themselves to he connect
ed with his company, endeavoring to
secure contributions for their own
personal use. and that the company
has no representatives other than him
self and his engineers in the field,
that no cash is or will be asked for,
and to pay no attention to such re-
quests.
We sincerely hope that all that has
been outlined above will come true,
and that within a few years, at the
most, we will be riding on a fast
modern electric line TO Minneapolis.

REPUBLICAN RALLY.
in DEC ORAH SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
Addresses by Secretary Of the Treasury l..
N. Shaw, Congressman 6. N. Hau.
gen and Hon. S. A. Nelson.
A Great Meeting
Assured.

One of the greatest republican meet
ings of the present campaign is book
ed for Decorah next Saturday after
noon. After much correspondence,
the republican county central com.
mittee has finally succeeded in secur-
ing three fine speakers.
Secretary of the Treasury Leslie NJ.
Shaw, Iowa's distinguished member
of President Roosevelt's cabinet, and
his personal representative in this
campaign, is the acknowledged fore
most American campaign orator. He
has been in greater demand in this
campaign than any other speaker, and
has done splendid work for the party.
He is natural orator, logical rea-
soner. and famous story teller, who
never fails to please his audiences.
Certainly greater drawing card could
not have been secured for this meet
ing.
Congressman G.. N. Haugen of this
district is we'll known to our people.
He is recognized as one of the most
convincing peakers among the many
in the Iowa campaign, and has had
many calls to other states. He will
be heard with pleasure again by our
people, we are sure.
Hon. S. A. Nelson, county clerk
of Humboldt county, is one of the
most promising of Iowa's young or
ators. In the campaign two years
ago he made two speeches in this
county, and gave such excellent salts
faction that special effort was made
to get him this year. After two re-
fusals he finally consented to come to
Decorah next Saturday afternoon.
The meeting will begin promptly at
L 80 p. m. at the Grand opera house
and there will be music to entertain
the big audience between the address
ses. Do not fail to be present, and
bring your negihbors with yon.
Ladies invited as we'll as gentlemen.

ANGEL DEBORAH AT CARLISLE.
Granddaughter Of Famous Indian Chief for
Whom Decorah was Named
Teacher OF Art.

Decorah, Iowa, Oct. 26, 1906.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
While at Tower Hill last summer
met lady from st. Louis who
told me that the old Indian chief,
Decorah, has a granddaughter, Miss
Angel Decorah, who is an artist and
was educated in our eastern schools.
1 thought the fact would be of inter
est to the people of Winneshiek
County, and my ST. Louis friend
promised to send me more informa-
tion. She has just forwarded letter
from niece of her. in whose home
in Pennsylvania Miss DecOrah spent
several years. l quote from the
letter:
"She Angel Decorah) is descended
from some old Decorah chief. When
the Winnebagos were transported to
the western prairies they missed the
Wisconsin pine forests they had been
used to. very much. Angels grand
father, the chief, twice led them
hack, or attempted to; and finally he
died of broken heart. Angel is at
the Carlisle Indian school now, in
charge of the Art Department there.
Her idea is TO teach the Indians theiI
own art, how to use their own designs
and not to try to foist on them the
white mans ideas of art, which are
naturally quite outside the compre
hension. or rather the experience, OF
the Indians. She is quite successful
with her pupils: and the Commits
sioner is on her side. But she ha6
to encounter good deal of opposi'
tion from the teachers. "

The meanest, sneakiest trick i'll con-
nection with the whole voting ma
chine proposition is the attempt to
injure Auditor Linnevold by spread
ing the false statement that he has
the power to determine whether to
use voting machines or the Australian
ballot in this election. No man of
honor would start such story. He
has no more right to decide the matter
than the King OF England. He was
opposed to their purchase as a matter
of personal principle and opinion, but
his duty as an officer is plain. The
decision of the Supreme Court makes
it obligatory upon him to prepare the
voting machines for use, and he has
done his duty as any officer should

Other districts besides the Fourth
are recognizing Congressman Hau-
gems ability as a political speaker,
and are anxious to get dates for him.
Evidently the state committee thinks
the fourth district is all right. We
have had to give up dates made for
this county to let him go to Palo Alto
county, where he made one speech
and they demanded him for another.

We were opposed to the purchase
of voting machines for this county
before the contract for their purchase
was made, but we now believe that it
is our duty to vote with a machine
and TO urge every other voter to do
the same.

mand than Secretary Shaw, aud Con-

house ought TO be packed.

Getting back the
cold vigor.

The great trouble is that people in down
