HAS RYCROFT
A DOUBLE2
MAN COMES OUT FOR GOVERNOR
d SHIP OF IOWA WHO RESEMBLES
RYCROFT THE REUBEN.

Has Rycroft, the Reuben" double?
1t would seem so for the ST. Paul Dis
patch recently published a photograph
of Andrew Townsend Hisey of Tama,
Iowa, who aspires to become governor
of Iowa, which is very similar to the
likeness of young Rycroft, the man who
first appeared in Honolulu on me
streets as Reuben" advertising the
Zoo and who delighted the townspeople
by leading the Hawaiian band on May
II, the day that the baseball season
was opened. The resemblance of
Rycroft, the Reuben, and Hisen the
aspirant for gubernatorial honors, is
very striking The Dispatch has the
following to say of Hisen which makes
the resemblance the more stronger.
ELDORA, iowa, July IO.-Andrew
Townsend Hisey a unique character of
Tama, Iowa, who recently announced
his candidacy for the Office of COVER
nor of Iowa, and who has secured the
requisite 1000 signatures to the petition
to secure his name being placed upon
the official ballot, has commenced his
campaign and left Tama Saturday,
with his wheelbarrow silk hat and load
of literature, and very soon the street
corners of many an Iowa city and town
will be crowded daily with men listen
ing to the tale of woe which this man
Hisey will pour out to them in arguing
why he should be called to fill the Office
of chief executive of the Hawkeye
state.
Secular government is Mr. Hisey's
hobby, and he was born in Brownville,
Pa, over fifty years ago He came
with his arents to Iowa way back in
1855, and has lived at Tama most of
the time since. He spends much time
in study and in the reading and writ
ing of books on how to run the govern
ment
The platform which Mr. Hisey bases
his candidacy upon is at follows;
Secular government stands for good
government; liberal scientific govern
ment, individual national, internal
tional administration and distribution
of justice
First-To rediscover the arts which
are lost, and. reveal those which are
hidden.
/ Second-To complete the unfinished
/ work of ages, right the wrongs of gem
/ erations past, correct the mistakes re-
trace the errors, and see to it with great
care that the ills which effect the race
the foul works and foul play do not
occur.
Third-To secure individual owner
ship, preserve competition in labor,
complete the wage earning system, give
to labor it's full share of prosperity,
bring to trusts, combinations and
gigantic concerns, the confidence of an
Industrious people, and intense patrio-
tism to the government.
Fourth-To surmount deplorable ten
denotes, life up the fallen, strengthen
the weak, connect the broken family
chain, double the pleasures, tighten the
( sorrows, lengthen the lives of the peo-
pie and elevate all on the high table
land of political science, above poverty
crime, ignorance and superstition
Change the environments from positive
vices to negative virtues, from mega
tive virtues to positive virtues, from
positive virtues to great good great
care and great hope, so ones words
works, thoughts and actions may GO
out into the world to do good and al
ways be in the world.
F'ifth-Bring to each person in the
generation each day of their lives the
little heritage which has been directed
by thoughtful persons for ages and
make each person live on the interest
of money.
