In the nominations Of the above
candidates for congress in Iowa, the
primaries Tuesday developed many
interesting contests and the results
furnished many interesting surprises
notable among them the victory of
Woods over Conner in the Tenth dist
riot.
Late Tuesday night Conner men con-
lOCuIly CldluSu SOlllloi Wouio
win easily, but yesterday morning the
Woods claims Of majority in nearly
every county began to be verified.
The movement towards Woods in
the Tenth seems to have been an
avalanche and his majority is esti-
mated to be somewhere near 1000 at
least.
Good seems to be the winner in the
Fifth district though his majority is
uncertain. His nomination was con-
ceded by Trewin men late Tuesday
night when it became apparent that
he had swept Linn county against Ire
win.
In the Eighth district, Hepburn had
an easy victory, although Smith won
his own county and gave Hepburn a
run in one or two others.
Among the democrats interest cen
tered in Walsh's victory over Dear
mand in the Second and Jamieson's
victory over McGinnis in the Eighth

sweet music On the graphophone and
piano. A picnic and straw ride had
been planned for the little lassies,

additional charm to the beauty of
the scene. Thus ended another Of

like this.

CANDIDATES HEARD BY MANY.
Judge Prince Concludes Speaking
with Admirable Talk on Education.

Last Monday evening the candi-
dates for Solicitor addressed the peo-
pie Of the county at the Court House.
Each Of the four candidates for this
Office was in good trim and their re-
marks were clear and to the point.
M. G. Long was the first speaker, fol-
lowed by j. j. McSwain, A. Fl. Dag
nall and Proctor A. Bonham.
Hon. J. E. Boggs. candidate for
Congress, followed the candidates for
Solicitor, being given close attention
while he spoke briefly on timely sub
jects. Judge George e. Prince fol-
lowed Mr. Boggs, giving some excel
lent thoughts and good advice on
the subject Of common school educa-
ton.
Below we give a full synopsis Of
the remarks made by
Hon. j. J. McSwain.
Fellow Citizens: When you employ
a lawyer. you wish not only an hon.
est, but capable and expe.
rienced man. The office OF solicitor
can be held only by lawyer. and it
would seem that the better the law
yer the better the office would be
filed. During my experience, I have
tried between 500 and 600 cases, and
the records will show with what de-
gree OF success. | believe that every
man owes a duty to his country, and
while the salary Of the office may not
be as much as a man can make in
private practice, yet it is sufficient
to enable a man to live.

Office with clear cut and we'll under.

should be conducted. | am no gum

OF every man to whom | might talk.

put down in print my position upon
some Of the most important and Sc.
rious questions which confront a So.

believe that the husbands and faith.
ers of this circuit realize that the
sanctity OF their homes and the safe
ty Of their children are at stake when
the issue OF the due observance and
enforcement Of the law is made.
We have been too reckless of
human life and of human blood.
