Name Will Go On Iowa
State Ballot.
JOSH PROVES TO BE FACT
Work of Few Hundred ThouqhtIess
People; The Unique Platform Of
the Eccentric Individual.

Webster City, Iowa, Oct. 25.--The fact
that the name of Andrew Townsend
Hisey, the secular government candidate
for governor of Iowa, will really appear
upon the official ballot of this great state
In the lection next month is causing
much comment Hisey's candidacy was
considered huge joke and remained as
such until it was really learned that his
name is to appear upon the ticket The
lama News, printed in Hisey's home
town, says:
"And thus is perpetrated upon the
great state of Iowa the most colossal
practical joke ever played upon COM
monwealth. 1t is a shame and disgrace
to the intelligence of Iowa that through
the thoughtless petition of few hum
dred careless voters the state should
give its official recognition to the cam
didacy of an irresponsible and men
tally unbalanced crank 1t is an ex-
pensive joke. An extra column must be
provided on all specimen ballots used in
the state. Also an extra column on all
regular ballots. An extra column had
to be printed in the official publication
of the ballots in at least two papers
in every county in the state. The en-
tire added expense on account of Hisey's
candidacy will probably be not less than
S., ZOO.
''The men who encouraged his candi-
dacy by signing his petition must in
deed feel proud of their work in get
ting this harmless, crazy fellow on the
official ballot as a candidate for the
highest office to be given at the hands
of the people of Iowa. 1t is positively
ridiculous. 1t is worse than that; it is
an outrage on civic decency."
Hisey's state of mind may be best
Judged from the platform which he pro-
mulgated. Briefly, it is as follows:
First To rediscover the arts which
are lost and reveal those which are
hidden.
Second. To complete the unfinished
work of ages, and right the wrongs of
generations.
Third. To secure individual owner
ship and preserve competition in labor.
Fourth. To surmount deplorable ten
denotes, lift up the fallen, strengthen
the weak, connect the broken family
chain, double the pleasures, deepen,
widen and lengthen the lives of the peo-
Pile 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 vices, from negative
vices to negative virtues, from negative
virtues to positive virtues, from posi-
tive virtues to great good, great care
and great hope, so ones words, works,
thoughts and actions may 60 out INTO
the world to do good and always be IN
the world.
Fifth. Bring to each person IN the
generation each day of lives the little
heritage which has been directed by
thoughtful persons for ages, and make
each person live on the interest of
money 6,

La Plata Not Discouraged.

DR.. G. D. Smith was over from
La Plata last week. He had just re-
turned from a trip to Pine river to in
spect the schools, and reports condi-
tions good in that locality. AS re-
CARDS the report of the government
engineers on the La PLATA irrigation
project being not feasibT$ and pro-
hibitive in price, DR.. Smithsaid:
The government scneme oii-WhiCh-
the $50 an acre is based, includes u
reservoir above Durango on the Ami
mas and long canal across the hills
to La Plata. This is certainly eXpen~
sive, but another idea seems to have
been missed, and that is to put in a
dam about four miles above La Plata
postoffice and catch the spring food
waters for use later in the season.
Old-timers say that there is not one
year in ten or twenty that sufficient
food waters do not go to waste that
if stored would irrigate all the land in
the valley. The people of La Plata
valley would sign contracts up to $40
an acre for such u reservoir and no
canals would need to be constructed
by the government. The cost OF such
a system would not be prohibitive and
the land owners of La Plata stand
ready to do their share, beside the
revenue the government would re-
ceive from .hc land reclaimed"
