We have heard some pretty big fish
stories in our day, but the turtle story
told us last Saturday by o. w. Hook
ett of Illinois, who came here some
weeks ago to visit his brother, A. j.
Hockett, and incidentally to reap
turtle harvest beats any fish story we
have ever heard. Mr.. Hockett is a
professional turtle hunter having been
In the business off and on for seven
years, during which time he has hunt
ed turtles In Iowa and Illinois. Snap
ping turtles are the variety sought,
and are used by the eastern hotels and
restaurants for soups, fries, etc. The
season for turtles opens as soon as the
frosts come which drive the turtles
into the mud where they lie for the
winter, and where they are located by
the hunter by the aid of sharp iron
rod, which he punched into the mud

the PARTY MANAGERS TROUBLES.

Party managers are worried just now
over the size of the corn crop for fear
that 1t will cause too large 9. stay-at-
home vote. In few counties where
fights for local offices have grown
fierce or in the several counties where
factionalism is running riot. neither
the corn crop, pestlence nor total
eclipse could keep the voters away
from the polls, but from the stand
point OF the party managers who seek
for support of the whole ticket, these
conditions are not particularly desir-
able.
In Jasper county, for instance. under
present conditions IL every man.
woman and child should vote, the re-
suit on governor, lieutenant governor,
congressman and legislative nominees
would be about an even thing, grant
ing that the factions are as evenly d.
vided as they were in the republican
county convention
In Floyd, where the republicans are
split with a regular and Independent
candidate for the legislature, the more
stay home votes the better, for IT
we are to have domestic disturbances
within the party, the smaller they are
the better the effect on the general re-
suit
But in Marshall county and many
others where neither local contests nor
factional strife will draw MEN out to
vote, the party managers are in dis
tress 1t is in counties Of this Kind
that the state and district results are
going to be determined, fer out OF
every 100 voters who 60 to the polls
nearly seventy-five Of them will cast
republican ballots. II 1000 or 1000
stay at home fighting the corn crop,
750 to 1900 republican votes will be
lost to the general result.
There never was a year in which
it was of greater Importance for the
strong republican counties to get out
their vote. Cutting and scratching is
going on in other counties which must
be overcome. There is reward in store
for party loyalty at this time, too. The
number Of delegates assigned to each
county in future nominating conven-
lions will be apportioned according to
the vote cast this year for governor.
If the loyal counties roll up q large
vote they, will gain delegates in these
future conventions, while the factfonal
counties will lose. and it may come to
pass that the control Of nominations
in district or state conventions will
pass into the hands of said loyal
counties. There is future in politics.
Men in Marshall and Hardin and Tama
and Grundy and Franklin and Butler
