Have the Cummins republicans of De-
catur county forgotten how the stand
patters sold them out two years ago,
when after agreeing that if the Cum
Minis republicans would vote the
straight republican ticket that the
standpatters would support Cummins
for governor, and when the votes were
counted on election day it was found
that while the republicans had a
majority in Decatur Icounty sof some
thing near 900, Porter, the democratic
candidate for governor, carried the
county by majority of 452 votes.
Where did the votes he received come
from? From the standpat gang who
were laughing at how they had hood
winked the Cummins faction into sup.
porting the county ticket and then they
had mercilessly slaughtered Cummins
They are trying to work the same old
gag this year, but the Cummins men are
not going to be burned twice by the
same fire.

GET OUT THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE

1t is very essential that every demo-
cratic voter goes to the polls and casts
his vote next Tuesday. The county
ticket is deserving of support and
there should be no stay at homes this
year. Two years ago an average of two
more democratic votes in each precinct
would have elected three county officers
on the democratic ticket, representa-
tive, clerk and county superintendent,
and in almost every precinct there
were dozen or more democrats who
did not 60 to the polls. Every man
who has the success Of the democratic
party at heart should make it his duty
to see that not a democrat in his pre-
cinct fails to go to the polls. "a If this is
done the chances for democratic sue
cess are most flattering. Democrats do
your duty, and do it we'll.

Last week the two cent rate which
has been in effect fora year in Arkan-
sas, was replaced by the old three cent
rate. In Iowa the railroads are clamor-
ing that they are losing money under
the two cent fare law. If the imatter
comes up before the next legislature Of
repeating the two cent fare law, how
will Capt. J. D. Brown vote: You should
remember that when the first movement
was made in this state to reduce the
rate that Capt. Brown signed and circu-
lated a remonstrance in Decatur county,
against the proposed reduction to two
and half cents mile. Would it not
be safer to elect DR.. B. A. Bowman as
your representative in the state senate
man who has never been favored by
the railroads or worked in their inter
est on any and every occasion.

Senator Bleakley, the republican can
didate for state auditor, was member
Der Of the special session OF the legisla-
ture and was one of the republicans
who bolted the caucus and refused to
vote for Governor Cummins for United
States Senator. Where he is we'll
known many supporters of Governor
Cummins have announced that they will
not vote for him, but will vote for G. e.
hunroe, the democratic candidate for
state auditor.

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

From Williams Jennings Bryan who
heads the democratic ticket down to
FL. t. Rauch, the last man on the demo-
cratic county ticket, every man on the
ticket is worthy of the active and sim
cere support of every voter in Decatur
county. The democratic ticket is one
which stands for good government.
Every candidate on the. ticket is man
Of standing, of capability, of honor, of
business integrity and of prudence,
therefore no mistake can be made when
the voter goes into the election booth
and makes cross in front of each can
didate on the democratic ticket, hands
the ballot to the receiving Judge and
goes about his business confident that
he has done his duty to his nation, his
state and his county.
The democratic party stands for the
best that there is in government and
for the greatest good to the greatest
number. The national, state and county
tickets are all actual demonstrations of
the interest the democratic party
feels in the matter of good government
and the voter who votes the demo-
cratic ticket can do so with the full con-
seriousness that he has made no mistake
and performed righteous act.
The county ticket in which local in
terest is now intense is one of the best
placed before the voters for years past,
and no man who has the best interests
Of Decatur county at heart should fail
to see that on election day the names of
all the democratic candidates have a
cross in the square in front OF their
name.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-10-29

A few stay at home democrats next
Tuesday may again defeat several Of
the worthy candidates on the demo-
cratic county ticket just as it did two
years ago. Don't let a single democrat
fail to vote in your township, even if
you have to hitch up your own team
and drive few miles after voter.
Election day comes but once in two
years and every good democrat should
be willing to make a special effort for
his party on that day.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-10-29

Colonel Hepburn is again parading be-
fore the voters Of the Eighth district
certificate of character from President
Roosevelt. Has it come to such a pass
that congressman must provide him
self with a certificate Of character be-
fore he dares ask the people Of his dis
trict to return him to congressr And
every intelligent voter knows that such
a certificate is simply shrewd politi-
cal scheme. The people Of the Eighth
district know Col. Hepburn better than
President Roosevelt, and they know
that for years he has misrepresented
them. Vote for W. D. Jameson and let
the people of the Eighth district have a
real representative.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-10-29

1t is not the number Of cases tried
that shows the good service of the
county attorney. If state case is we'll
prepared and the county attorney has
the evidence we'll in hand and sufficient
to secure conviction the attorneys for
the defendant will very often enter a
plea Of guilty especially if they know
the county attorney is able to prosecute
vigorously when he does prosecute and
that conviction will be secured. When
a plea Of guilty is entered the county is
saved the costs of trial. Take G. W..
Bakers last term covering the years
1907 and 1908 as an illustration. There
has been several convictions in the dis
trict court, five men sent to the peniten-
tiary, and fines collected or secured to
the amount of $1116. All of this was
accomplished on total expense in the
district court for criminal prosecutions
Of $175.05. There is but one more torn
of court to be held this year and at this
term there will be no criminal cases
tried TO jury as arrangements will be
made for plea of guilty in the only
case OF any Importance. This is re-
markably good showing in view of the
fact that the expense in the district
court for the criminal prosecutions of
the other county attorneys for the last
fifteen years has been from $4,000 to
$4,000 per term and counting the salary
paid county attorneys, there has been
expended in the expense OF criminal
| prosecutions in the district court over
and above the fines collected from $4,000
to $15, 5000 rer term. The fact that Mr..
Baker has been able to make the Office
practically self-supporting, that is to
make the fines equal to the costs of the
criminal prosecutions in the district
court including his salary up to date
shows great reduction in the expense
Of the office. A showing like this Ger
tainIy deserves another term for Mr.
j Baker.

Had Colonel Hepburn been either
friend of cummins, or friend of the
progressive ideas, he would have elect
ed Governor cummins to the United
States senate in the special session Of
the legislature this fall. Ten of the
caucus boilers came from the Eighth
district, and he could have, without
question, swung them into line for
Governor cummins. Evidently he
holds to his former declaration that
he would rather lose his office than
TO have cummins elected United
States senator.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-10-29

c. G. Dye was one Of the boilers from
the republican caucus called TO nomi-
nate United States Senator for the
short term. He now says he will vote
for whoever receives the republican
nomination at the primary held on cleo
tion day. Will he stand by this agree
ment or will he again bolt as he did
from the republican caucus at Des
Moines. The safest thing to do is to
elect Il. J. Sankey as representative, for
everybody knows where he stands.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-10-29

Mr.. Voter, when you go to mark your
ballot in the election booth next Tues
day, just pause when you come TO vote
for representative and ask yourself
which one will best represent you, G. G.
Dye, the man who bolted his party eau
Gus or &. ]. Sankey. and you cannot fail
to admit that Sankey is the man who
should be elected as the representative
Of the people Of Decatur county in the
next legislature.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-10-29

G. G. Dye, the republican candidate
for representati We from Decatur county
was one of the boilers who refused to
abide by the republican caucus and
support Governor Cummins for United
States Senator. Do the friends Of Gov
ernor Cummins in this county want him
returned to misrepresent them in the
legislature.

DR.. Fred A. Bowman, the democratic
candidate for state senator has been
making vigorous campaign against his
opponent. Capt. J. D. Brown, but he has
not been guilty Of personal abuse. He
has attacked Capt. Browns political
record, but when man goes into poll
tics that is expected. II mans pub
lie record will not bear inspection he
should not be elected to public office.

Democrats of Decatur county should
not wait until the last minute next
Tuesday to go the polls. Get your vote
In early and then spend little time

same thing.

The contributions for the democratic
campaign fund are now being published
and any one can tell where the money
is coming from. This is not the case
with the republicans who dare not
print the names OF their contributors.

The democratic county ticket this
year is sure winner providing there
are no stay at home democrats. If the
full democratic vote Of Decatur county
goes to the polls every man on the
democratic county ticket will be elect
ed.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-10-29

There should be no stay at home
democrats in Decatur county this year.
Democratic prospects for success are
very bright and few stay at home
votes may defeat some of the candidates
just as it did two years ago, when three
democratic candidates were defeated
by less than fifty votes. e. j. Sankey
only lacked thirteen votes of being
elected.

away from the polls in your township

DR.. Fred A. Bowman should receive
