OFFICIAL PAPER OF AUDUBON COUNTY
AND OF THE TOWN OF AUDUBON.
COSSON FOR SENATOR

In another column in this issue may
be found the announcement of George
Cosson as a candidate for the Office of
State Senator, subject to the decision
Of the Republican voters in this dis
trict, composed OF the counties of
Audubon, Dallas and Guthrie, at the
Primary election June ,, 1908.
Mr.. Cosson is well known in this
county and district where he has been
q resident for about ten years. Prior
to that time he had lived in Manning
and other points as telegraph opera
tor. At Dawson he was operator and
agent for two years. He took his law
course at the Valparaiso, Indiana,
Normal College and the State Univer-
sity of Iowa from which he graduated
in June, 1898. In the same year he
came to Audubon and commenced the
practice of law In the fall of 1904 he
was elected County Attorney in which
Office he served for two years with
great efficiency, demonstrating that he
had the courage of his convictions and
the ability to perform his duties in a
vigorous and conscientious manner
without reference to the effect it might
have upon his political success. La
June Of last year he was invited to
accept a position as an assistant in
the Office of Hon. III. w. Byers, Attor-
ney General of the State, down at Des
Moines, where he has been living and
working since that time. Mr.. Cosson
is recognized here at home as an able
lawyer, man of integrity and an up
right citizen. He is good campaigner
and will make an aggressive contest for
the nomination. He asks us to state
that if he is nominated and elected he
will carry out the wish of the voters
concerning United States Senator as
expressed at the primaries in June. 1t
has been conceded by the other coun-
ties that Audubon is entitled to the
Senator for the next term. If Mr..
Cosson shall be chosen he will be a
credit to the county and the district.
We are pleased to present his name to
the voters of the district as worthy of
their confidence and support.

DUTY AND POWER OF DELEGATES

At the primary election in June no
candidate will be nominated unless he
has received the highest number and
not less than 30 per cent of the votes
cast for the candidate for the Office he
is seeking. And in case no nomina-
ton is made it will be the duty of the
delegates to the County convention to
nominate. Will it be necessary for
the delegates to nominate one of the
men who failed as candidate before
the primary? Attorney General Byers
says it is not, holding that the coun-
ty convention is an independent body
and that the delegates to that conven-
ton will not be restricted to candi-
dates before the primary, but will be
free to vote for anyone they choose.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION

The first statewide primary election
for the nomination of candidates for
Office will be held in Iowa on Tuesday
June 2, 1908. In nearly all respects
it will be conducted just the same as
the general election in November.
The ballots will be furnished by the
county Auditor. Instead of having
one large ballot containing all the
Party tickets, there will be four
serarate tickets, Republican Demo-
cratic, Prohibition and Socialist.
The ballots will be of the same size
about fourteen by twenty-five inches
and printed on the same kind of
paper
When q voter passes the guard-rail
he must indicate to the Judges the
party ticket he desires to vote, and by
such act he declares himself to be a
member of that party and will be so
enrolled by the clerks of the election.
The polls in this county will be open
from one to eight o'clock in the after
noon. Candidates will be nominated
for all state, district, county and
township offices except for Judges. In
each precinct, member of the County
Central Committee, and delegates to
the county convention must be elected.
The county convention will be held on
Saturday June 20, for the purpose OF
selecting delegates to the state, con-
gressional, judicial and senatorial
conventions, to choose a member of
each district committee, and to nomi-
nate candidate for any Office for
which no nomination has been made
at the primary election. To become a
candidate for state or district Office
it is necessary to file nomination pa
pers with the secretary Of state not
less than forty days before the pri-
mary. To become a candidate for a
county Office such papers much be
filed with the county Auditor not less
than thirty days before the primary.
IL ucCOuuc d CduuludIt lOT IL IOWuSDlp
Office it is not necessary to file nomi-
nation papers, but the candidate must
file an affidavit with the county Audi
tor thirty days before declaring that
he is a candidate for the Office he is
seeking. So If you want to run for a
state or district Office file your papers
on or before the twentieth of April; il
you want county Office file them on
or before the first of May; if you want

amounts expended in securing a nomi-

Every body who wants to run for
Office should get busy pretty soon.

new MOVEMENT
IN AGRICULTURE
The Importance Of a Radical
Departure in Existing
Methods.

The meeting of citizens called
for November IA. 1908, to assem-
BILE in Winfield, is not only of
great significance, but of the
greatest interest to the business
men of this town, as also of para
mount Importance to the farmers
of all sections of Winn parish.
To the business men, because it
will bring them in closer touch
with the agricultural classes of
this section and afford them bet
ter facilities for handling many
of the prime necessities of life.
Il will eventually result in the
establishment of a canning fac
tory, and make q ready home
market for home products.
To the farmers, because it will
direct their efforts in new chan
nels of agriculture which will
rebound to their profit and the
disposal of the results of their
labor at q convenient market.
Such a movement is well calcul-
ated to interest ali classes of citi-
zens, as it will increase the chan
nels of trade and open up new
industries that will rebound to the
welfare of business pursuits and
encouragement of farm labor
along new lines of cultivation.
No improvement in the condi-
tiOns of life can be secured save
by the concerted efforts of parties
In interest, anu this movement is
fraught with bright possibilities
in the near future that will estab-
lish new industry in this grow
ing town, as well as encourage the
tiIlers of the soil in new lines OF
agriculture.
The Sentinel urges upon all
classes of citizens to make this
gathering a success, not only in
point of numbers, but in activity
and enthusiasm that will ensure
its favorable consideration and its
establishment on a practical work.

AN ENDORSEMENT
OF GOOD ROADS
An Example that Should Win
the Most Hearty Encouf-
agement.

The following letter, which The
Sentinel is more than pleased to
publish, indicates that the ques-
tion of the improvement of the
public highways is beginning to
attract the serious attention OF
those who are deeply interested
in this vitality important subject
of better highways in Winn
Parish. It is hoped that it will
be actively sgitated, and The
Sentinel will gladly publish tho
views of public-spirited citizens
on this highly important subject:
Georgetown, La, Nov. 1, 1908.
Editor Southern Sentinel:
/ am pleased to notice that IN
almost every issue of your paper,
you have something to say about
good roads. / trust that you,
together with the other journals
of the parish, will not cease the
agitation of tins matter of so
much importance to the residents
of Winn, until it is brought tn
the active notice of the police
Jury in January, 1909. That they
will be forced to take up this
question and adopt some plan by
which we can have q better
system of woodworking. and thus
secure more permanent highways.
For such q change | have
always strenuously scontended
since 1 have been a member of
the police jury, Of which you are
we'll aware. But it seems as If
my influence Gf I ever had any,)
had been expended without re-
suits. However, / have become
thoroughly convinced that unless
others fall in line, no results can
be accomplished. But this press.
| ing public need must be solved
sooner or later, and the press i
the powerful factor through
which to start the ball rolling il

Syrup.

An abundant supply of pure
syrup is coming into market from
the small farmers of Winn parish.
1t is delicious and free from adul-
teration. The manufacture of
this syrup is becoming an impor-
tant industry among the hill
farmers and they find ready sale
for the product. One merchant
here has sold 1000 gallon cans and
ordered 1000 more for utilization.

is not doing him any injustice 70
say, that if he shall continue with
the church for many years longer

more completely enshrined in the

preciated and loved.
The Winfield church is to be
congratulated ON having pastor
