Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-07-21
Topics of the Times.

Four newspaper men have prominent
places on the democratic national COM
mittee. Norman e. Mack, editor OF the
Buffalo Evening Times, Clark flJwe.i,
editor of the Atlanta Constitution;
Trey Woodson, proprietor of the Mess
enger, Owensboro, Ky, and Josephus
Daniels, editor of the Raleigh, N. C.,
News and Observer, make up the
quartet. OF course Bryan, as editor of
the Commoner, ought to be classed as
a sort of ex-officio member of the
Journalistic bunch.
What the hell do we care" was a
popular song at the Denver convention
and was also exploited by delegates to
q recent convention in MarshalltoWn.
Conventions should begin to put them
selves on record from now on as OPP
posed to rejoicing by such lays. They
are not very dignified nor manly, and
the sound of sane men going thru the
streets OF an orderly city singing such
sentiments gives us more the sugges-
ton of prize fight gathering than Of
a meeting of decent citizens. The fact
that Denver furnished this instance
does not argue that republicans are al
ways free from this guilt.
A couple more of desirable families
moved to Marshalltown last week. And
did you notice that Waterloo, when the
time waned for it to get that Y. NJ. c..
A. $4,000, sent here for John L.
Goodell to help it uot ?These facts DEM
onstrate that while everybody who can
comes to Marshalltown to live. those
who can not come to Marshalltown to
get help.
1t is said that putting political cam
didates' names on women's stockings
is becoming fad What has Jim"
Sherman TO say of this kind of "school-
craft?"
It looks as tho Gap" Arson had
struck out, financially. Considering the
money that Adrian, or Pop" as he is
Familiarity known, made in his time,
and his term as city clerk at Chicago.
it looks as tho he had never learned
the real value of a dollar.
We are informed that Mr. Hearst
has no use for the democratic party,
but it does not sound good. If they had
any advertising to place it would not

Folks who don't know Hon. Jim
Ham Lewis, whose pink whiskers made
Chicago famous, wonder how he stands
the seeming abuse that is heaped on
him because of the coral colored
Iambreuuins which shelter his visage
The fact is, Col Lewis is an ex-news-
paper man, and appreciates advertis-
ing He's glad to have the newspapers
make all the fun they like of his bunch
of barbigerous draperies, as it keeps
him before the public. No one treats
the reporters more courteously than he
and he is trying to land himself and
his zepher magnets in the Illinois gov
ernorship via the democratic route.
An exchange says that as soon as
Taft's acceptance speech is published
will come the realization that the. re-
publicans picked the right man. They
were pretty sure of that before they
made their choice.

Any limit placed on campaign con-
tributions will be easy enough to get
by. If the maximum is set at $1,000
and a man wants to give $4,000, he
can send it in piecemeal by proxy, and
the treasurers will not investigate.

After having thought over the matter
for couple of years or so. we are in
formed that William H. Taft is almost
ready to accept the nomination for the
presidency 1t is passing strange that
he did not make up his mind about the
matter before the Chicago convention
as it was generally known before that
event that his name would be voted
on.
