W. A. Derby, Candidate for

Never knew man of the name

the way through was the way w. A..
Derby, Republican candidate for con-
stable, asserted his politics last even
ing, Derby comes of line OF Repub-
llicans that have been intimately as
ISOLATED with Wapello county since
tl840. The grandfather of the candi-
date, Charles w. Derby was one of
the first settlers in Wapello county,
moving here more than 65 years ago,
and Nelson Derby. the father, was
tborn and raised in the same vicinity.
He at present operates his farm in
adams township.
| Mr.. Derby was born in Monroe coun-
ty, forty years ago. When four years
of age he came to Wapello county with
his parents and has resided here prac-
ltically all the time since. The candi-
date comes for constable comes from

FROM MT. PLEASANT.

Armed with credentials from the
honorable mayor and chief OF po-
lice of Ottumwa recommending them
to the charitably inclined of the city,
Rev. Seemoon Anton and Deacon Nlcolo
Seemoon. HE'D them toward the setting
sun on their mission of begging for
an eastern religious concern. These
men while in the city piled their voca-
ton but it is thought with little sue
cess and were rudely disturbed by
the appearance of press dlspatch
from Mt. Pleasant saying they were
off color and phony. They present
ed what appeared to be proper Gre
dentials to the mayor and chief OF
police and were accorded the right to
solicit in the city. Upon the news
from Mt. Pleasant, however, their
mission received a rude shock and OPP
erations were brought to a sudden
terminus.
The sister city said they were
phony as their pictures appeared in
police paper and the descriptions
otherwise tailed with them. Height
beard, color, and nationality all went
to make a bad case against them m
their aims gathering in the city OF
Henry county. Leaving there 1t is
supposed that Ottumwa was their next
stop and here they claimed they rep
resented an orphans home and the
Christian church in Eastern Chaldea
In leaving the city the younger man
of the two approached Officer Charles
Prevulsky at the station and asked
him what big town would the train
take them to. When told that Omaha
was the first big city, he asked If the
train stopped at Abba, and being told
it did, they boarded the train and
went westward. They told the Officer
they came from Turkey but were
Egyptians by nativity.

Combs, who was the only man ever
legally hanged in the county. Candi-
date Derby was member of the Sons

Mt. Derby is an active and enthus-
iastic union man. He is prominent
member of the Street Railway EN-
ployes union, and Is secretary of the
local. There never has been an cleo
ton since Mr.. Derby was of age in
which he did not put bis shoulder TO
the political wheel and push with a
vim. Always active at the polls, tire
less in his efforts, and strict ad-
herent to the Republican party and
policies, Mr.. Derby is q strong favor
lite with all unionists in the city and
should have the support of all Re.
publicans. His long association with

up the American market, the Ameri-
can industry and the American home.
Bryan stands for just the opposite
policy of government. He has always
been on the negative side. He stands
for tariff for revenue only That
policy has always put the workingman
out of job and closed the American
institutions. In the very nature If
things 1t cannot do otherwise. His pol
icy would not cheaper anything but
American labor. 1t has always done
1t. 1t always will. He is opposed to
everything that is and seems to be In
favor Of anything that is not. He is
opposed to the tariff, the Philippines,
the president, Cuba, the Panama canal,
the kind Of money we have, corpora
tions, till this year, the national bank
ing system, etc, etc. Opposition and
destruction of hong market and
home industries.
The young man who follows such a
leader, is certainly making mistake
1t is not natural for youth to be on
the side of the leader who is always
opposing, scolding and finding fault.

excitement is being created in Jeffer-

campaign. The Republicans are getting
fair crowds at county meetings every
night this week and have advertised a
love feast for next Monday evening, in
which number of local speakers will

no motions toward meetings. A rough
estimate of Taft's plurality in the
county places it between 500 and 500
with Carroll running not far behind
Lacey is expected to carry the county
bv small margin, although it Is ex-
tremely difficult to judge concerning
the senatorial situation. Kennedy will
have plurality of two or three hum
bred over Tracy, the Democratic can
didate for congressman.
