The old masterful type of the
Southern statesman passed away
with slavery. Whatever may be said
of that institution. it trained men for
leadership and government. The
constant presence of the bondman
wrought in the master love of free
dom and a sense of honor that will
never be surpassed. Wonderful men
those old Southerners We're; great in
counsel, great in battle. but greater
than all in the integrity which felt
dishonor like a wound. They would
have fallen upon the sordid plunder-
ers which in later times have infest-
ed public life like Elijah upon the
prophets of Baal. I cherish the hope
that our Southern blood will produce
the type again-that with renewed
prosperity we will again introduce
into public life a class of men able
and willing to devote themselves
with pure and unwavering fidelity to
the public service. and free from the
all-absorbing struggle for bread

the intense fractional lineup that has
taken place on the congressional nom
ination, Mr.. w. G. Kerr, of this city,
has decided that there is no room for
third candidate and he voluntarily
announced his withdrawal in the
Grundy Republican yesterday. 1t comes
as a surprise to many, but will be
accepted as an evidence of good judg-
ment for it is true that the two fac
tions within the party have been lined
up for the other two candidates owing
to the action of the Allison men meet
ing in Cedar Rapids and making Trew-
in their candidate on factional lines.
MIR. Kerr has realized this and with
draws without further effort to make
campaign.
His formal statement is as follows:
To the Republicans of the Fifth
District: When the congressional
campaign in the Fifth district opened
by the withdrawal of Congressman
Cousins, the indications We're that
there would be many candidates to
succeed him. and l became u candidate,
believing that the western end of the
district was entitled to consideration.
Since that time factional lines have
been closely drawn, and under the cir
cumstances my candidacy would be
heavily handicapped.
II therefore withdraw from the field
and permit the situation to develop
into contest for supremacy between
the two Linn county candidates, James
II. Trewin and James w. Good.
For the kindness and consideration
with which my candidacy has been re-
ceived | feel grateful and desire to
thank the many friends who have in
terested themselves in my behalf.

both of whom L have the highest re-
gard, desire to express my apprecia
ton for the courteous treatment that
/ have received at their hands.

Of the facts recently brought to my

the prejudice I had formed against
them when I first heard of Cooper s
new ideas and medicines.
Numbers Of my patients whom
have treated for chronic liver, kidney
and stomach troubles have met me and
stated that Cooper's medicine has ac-
complished wonderful results for
them. notice particularly in cases
of stomach trouble that the man has
relieved several cases that were of
years standing and proved very OBJ
stinate to treatment.
"I do not wish to stand in the way
of something that may be for the pub

deserving to some extent the popular

them in this city,"
