Marshall County's Plurality For

ly One Other In State
MAY GIVE 1T THE BANNER
Based on Percentage of Vote to Popu-

Falling Off in Vote Reduces Number
Of Delegates in State and District
Conventions-Will Lose Six.

From present indications Marshall
county will be entitled to the banner
for polling larger vote for the re-
publican candidate for governor than
any other county in the state, based
on voting population.
The returns from the state at pres
emf indicate that but one other coun-
ty of Iowa rolled up bigger plurality
for Cummins than did Marshall That
county was Polk, which has a popu-
lation many times greater than that
or this county. Claim will be made to
the banner, and 1t Is probable this
county will secure it, as the award
IS made on the basis Of the percentage
OF the vote to the population
Because of the falling off in the vote

year, compared to the vote cast for
Roosevelt for president two years ago.
Marshall county will lose six delegates
In the republican state convention next
year. The county will be entitled to
sixteen delegates, while last year the
representation was Twenty-Five
The county will be in much better
position, however, than heretofore, for
the reason that most of the other
counties in this district and turnout

Linn, which has heretofore had forty
and more delegates in district and state
conventions, and Benton, both of which
are this year in the democratic column,
will not have the numbers or the in

A surfeit Of oratorx.

One of the mistaken theories Is that
public speaker" is necessary to the
success of any public affair This the
ory had it's rise at time when oratory
was a fad. Orators were cultivated,
and they were supposed to take hui
man passions in their hands and toy
with them. In this practical age pub
lie speakers are a bore, and nobody
cares anything about them. People
gather to be entertained and not lee
turetl. But, this theory having been
established that a public speaker" is
important to a picnic, an orator Is
hauled out and set loose on few old
gentlemen with canes and few moth
ers who must occupy the benches IN

Cruelty in Shipping Fowls.

dislike cruelty ii dumb animals to wit
ness the conditions existing at place
where fowls are sold in coops on COM
mission. Load after load of coops ar
arrive on the hottest days, with the
poor birds packed In them almost as
closely as sardines in a box. There
may be cup of water at some point in
the coop. but the majority of the birds
don't know OF its existence and could
MT reach it if they endeavored to do so
on account of the congested condition
of the coop. Not one in dozen coops
arriving in market indicates for the
shipper one spark of mercy or SYM
pathy for the birds. Many of them
will be dead on arrival, and what with
the excessive heat Of the atmosphere,
the animal heat OF their own bodies,
and the fatigue and fright attending
the journey, there is quite naturally a
loss of weight in those that are so for
tunate as to survive. These same
farmers hurl maledictions upon the
head of the commission merchant be-
cause he deducts for "shrinkage" IN
weight in his remittance. They APP
parently ignore the fact that they
alone are responsible for the deduc-
ton, because they have created, or at
the very least, have allowed to exist,
