Mr.. Thompson was born on the farm

accordingly sc years and four months
old at the time of his DEATH Mr..
ThOmpson's parents, Torkel S. and
Rugnel (Saareen) Thompson,

where Mr.. Thompson ST., started a
blacksmith shop on Washington
Prairie. Mr.. D. S. Thompson began

employ of Finn Bros. hardware dealers
in DEBORAH, Iowa, and remained there
for six years. He then removed to
Eldorado, Iowa. whittier his parents
had already gone and accepted a
clerical position with B. H. Ropes.
In 1876 he came to Ossian and in CO.
partnership with II. Paulson engaged
in the dry goods business. At the
end Of two years Mr.. Paulson sold his

coming Thompson & Olson. January

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

The Republican State convention
which meets at 10 80 this morning, in
the Auditorium at Des Moines, will
be notable gathering. No such inter-
est has been shown in a state conven-
tion of any party in Iowa, for many
years, if ever before Not even the
memorable campaign in which Buren,
r. Sherman and William Larrabee
were pitted against each other can
compare with the present conflict AT
no time since Iowa became a state
have the people been so shaken up
politically as they have been the
past six months. The unusual methods
which are said to have been employed
in some counties by the partisans of
the two leading candidates for COVER
nor, A. B. Cummins and George ID.
Perkins. have created distrust in
many minds which has led them to
seriously question the propriety of
nominating either of those gentlemen.
Charges and counter charges have
been made on both sides, which, if
true should defeat them both. This
writer is unable to believe that either
Mr. Cummins or Mr.. Perkins would
countenance fraud in the selection of
delegates, nevertheless, open charges
of gross frauds have been made and
scattered broadcast over the state, so
that they cannot be ignored. The
sanest and coolest have been carried off
their feet by the carnival of buster.
The moral influence of the campaign
has not been healthful, the state will
feel the effects of it for long time to
come. A reformation of methods
would be a winning slogan in futu e
campaigns. Let us hope that out of
all this turmoil, the convention may
find way to bring peace and harmonv
to the party and the state without the
sacrifice of principle or any violation
of rights. The delegates from Win
neshiek county left DEBORAH Monday
morning on the Q. NJ. & st. P. rail-
road. Below is the list.

Froshinn at ST. Paul.

The gates of the city of ST. Paul
were thrown open last Thursday to
the Northwestern Saengerbund. and
thousands of German singers from
various states and cities of the North
west cOngregated there to be heard in
one grand chorus, in st. Paul's new
auditorium. 1t was the greatest gath
ering of singers ever held in the
Northwest, 8, 900 trained voices sing
ing in concert. Froshinn. Decorah's
popular German Singing Society at
tended the Saengerfest, being members
of the N. W. Saengerbund, and they
report one of the grandest meetings in
the life of the society. To those who
had not the pleasure of hearing the
5000 German voices singing in
unionism, it is hard to desrcibe the
beauty and wonderful magnitude of
such chorus. Nothing like it was
ever heard before in the Northwest.
The Froshinn members from here
participating in the Sangerfest were

of the machine and no results appear
there.
The law requires that voter shall
remain in the booth but one minute,
a provision we presume was inserted
TO facilitate speed and render it more
nearly impossible for any unscrupulous
crook TO get in and work the machine,
but we do not apprehend this provision
OF the law will be insisted on to the
letter. On the other hand, we believe
the voter will be given practically
what time he wants to arrange his
ballot, aud it is our belief that he will
require far more time to do so than
under the present method and that it
will take far longer to get the votes
in than in the past, for everybody has
to use the one booth, whereas, here
tofore we used as many booths as
required and the rapidity of the
voting was merely matter If speed
in entering the names on the poll
books and these names will have to be
entered by the clerks if the machines
are used the same as before.
Computation discloses that in 1908
there will be As candidates to be
elected and 46 names to appear on the
official ballot. There are only 40
spaces for names of candidates ON this
machine, hence it will be manifestly
impossible to hold an election with
the machinewhere there are more can
didates to be chosen than the machine
can accommodate and the board will
either have to buy an additional ma
chine for each voting precinct (27 in
ALL or else provide for the election of
the six extra candidates by the ballot
method and use the machines for
the other 40, or else discard the ma
chimes and elect all the candidates by
the old Australian ballot system which
will accommodate as many as neces-
sary. This consideration alone should
cor denim the voting machine.
1t is hard to believe that the board
of supervisors are not thoroughly fami-
liar with public sentiment through
out the county by this time, and
even if they were not we understand
that steps are being taken to bring
evidences of such sentiment to their
body in an official manner when they
get together next Monday With
public sentiment, the sentimnt of
the people who pay the bills, so
strong as it is, it is difficult TO see
how the board can do otherwise than
rescind their former action in this
regard and countermand their order
Ii they do this, they will certainly
meet the wishes of the people if they
fail to act, the people will be COM
PEELED to take the matter into their
own hands.
