KENDALL FOR CONGRESS-.
lAlhia Ininul

The Union announces today the for
NAL candidacy of Hon. n. r.. Kendall
for the office of representative of con
gress from the sixth district, and In
$50 doing we recognize that the field has
other material hut no one SO univcr-
sally known and so popular with the
people as our own Monroe county cam
I djdate. q
The Union fees safe in commencing
MIR. Kendall to the voters OF the reli-
able old Sixth, and urges organization
in his favor now while the merits of
each candidate can be discussed with
out the heat of n campaign war and
all measured for what they have one
for the party in the past and what
their possibilities are for the future.
An unprejudiced, calm inspection Of
the situation is now on.
Mr.. Kendall has lived in Abba since
early manhood and his rise in the pro-
fession of the law is due to his dill
nce,perseyerance, his capable mind
and his close application to his clients
interests and honesty in his dealings
with his ~felloWm.n. He has had a pur-
pose In life and has allowed no petty
affairs to swerve him from it till he is
now a recognized leader in Iowa poll
ties. In his local community whatever
has benefited the people he advocated
and worked for. He is president of the
city library boarGt of trustees and was
largely instrumental In giving to AL
bia the handsome Carnegie building
now being completed. All municipal
improvements appeal to him and meet
with his hearty support. But he be-
longs not only to Abba but to Monroe
county and as yonr candidate for con-
gross stand by him n wiz out.
IOWA'S ANNUAL FREE FOR ALL.

Willy Old Jack Frost has given the
peoples favorite, King Corn, some
close calls In the past years, but the
present race for ~cioseness and hair
breadth escapes seems now to eclipse
all former ones. From that day last
August when the torrent ceased in
Iowa Inc old Sol dared show his coun-
tenance, it has been a wild probability
that King Corn might catch his stride
again and be in On the finish, No
man was so insane as to dare venture

ahead of Jack Frost. 1t was almost
certain that the corn of Iowa was left
In its midseason form. The past forty
days have made the whole race look
different. Today with Iowa's crippled
corn fields a full three weeks of
season, 1t looks TO the hopeful ones
as tho we had a chance to win. How
ever optimistic he be, the 1owan who
dares think success is ours, he must
shudder a trife when he feels the cool
air of the early September evening
driving the mercury slowly down the
tube, where it hovers around the 40
mark until the warm sun of the fol- |
day sends it dancing up to IS
and with it the hopes and desires of
two millions. Twenty days is
the very shortest time, twenty-five
would be better, and thirty days of
sunshine and dry atmosphere right
would give Iowa what few have
expected this fall--a fairly good crop
of good corn. The usual interest in
the outcome of Ioyva's free-for-all be-
tween King Corn and Jack Frost has
given way to an intense and excited.

hope that our jolly old yellow
fellow carl win. We never
needed the purse money so badly as

along with a poor crop as just now, as
every one wants a part of it. SO here
