To the Democracy of the State of iowa.

The democrats of Iowa enter this
campaign united and with the firm
belief that it viii elect the entire
state ticket. Never in the history of
Iowa have the democrats had a more
acceptable ticket and platform than
the one nominated at Waterloo.
We have no corporations or moneyd
interests to draw on for campaign
expenses. This is fight of the
common people and to such we must
look for our campaign funds.
Therefore, we appeal to every
democrat in the state to donate one
dollar each to aid in carrying on a
campaign in the interest of the
people Of Iowa. II every man who
believes the democratic ticket ought
to be elected will do this, we will
have sufficient funds to successfully
conduct the campaign.

There is a JOY for those who weep,
A rest for weary pilgrims found,
For those who lie, and sweetly sleep,
Low in the ground"
Mr.. Moritz Mayer was born at
Schifferstadt, Biren, Germany, April
%, 1886 and departed this life Aug.

Mrs. Sophia Hammel Mayer was
born at Kunselsau, Wirtemberg,
Germany, August 81, lS4l and de-
parted this life August l6, 1906 at
half past two o'clock.
The story of the lives of these two
people is written in the record not
effaced by hands. written in the life
If the community and of Delaware
county which they have helped to
mold and shape, written in til.
hearts of their children and grand
children as we'll as those of thei,
neighbors and their friends,
Mr.. Mayer was a man of ex
ceptional integrity Of character, his
word being as good as bond and
he lived quiet and industrious life.
Mrs. Mayer by her kindly ways
held the esteem of each and every
neighbor and she was devoted
mother and u true friend.
Her parents died when she wa.
but young child, she then making
her home with an aunt until when
1t the age Of sixteen she came t..
America. She came alone locating
1t Cleveland, Ohio.
Mr. Mayer journeyed across the
sea from the fatherland when seven
teen years of age and as if fate
would have it SO, he too located al
Cleveland and there they met and
we're married December 81, 1860.
They came in April 1867 to Dubu-
que, Iowa, where they lived one
year after which they came to Della
ware county settling on a farm neal,
Manchester where they resided TO,
twenty-four years, at the end Of
which time they removed to Oneida

The governor has a harder cam
paign before him than any other re-
publican candidate ever had who
won except Governor Jackson. With
out the support Of the men who were
opposed to the governors nominal
ton this year he will be overwhelm-
ingly defeated. Governor Larrabee
knows this. The Freeman knows it,
so does the governor. Everybody
knows it. Ring off the demand that
any iowa republican should get out
of politics" The stalwart republic
cans OF Iowa are not fools. They
know what is the purpose of the So
called progressives. Phey know the
plan is to ostraciza and retire every
man of the old guard. They even
read the riot act to Congressman
Hubbard of the Sioux City district
who had the independence and tie
"audacity" requisite to support OF
a Sioux City man for governor as
against a man from Des Moines
They compelled him say that if nom
mated he would accept the nomin-
alton, not from the republicans of
the district, but from the Cummins
men," and that he regarded the
Cummins faction as the republican
party of Iowa. The whip has been
applied often and hard enough.
There are not enough "progressives, !"
so-called in Iowa to make a good
third in campaign or at the polls.
Primaries may be carried a la Dick
inson county and East Waterloo,
but as Garfield said, great contests
are settled around the firesides OF
the people. Our dictatorial friends
should remember vox populi.-Ma.
