THOMAS J. pENISTEN
Candidate for Coroner.

There are times when it is very
essential to She taxpayers that COM
petent and careful man fills the office of
county coroner. In case of a murder or
violent death it is the coroner's duty to
take charge of the body and hold an in
quest and investigate all the circum-
stances surrounding the death of the
person. Where murder has been COM
mitted, it is of vital Importance that
the evidence be secured and handled
properly by the coroner who thus be-
comes of great assistance in the prose-
cution Of criminals. True, the salary of
the office is only the fees and amounts
to but few dollars, but that is no rea-
son why good man should not be
elected to fill the Office. In case of the
death or removal from the county of
the sheriff the coroner becomes sheriff.
The democrats have nominated as their
candidate for coroner, Thomas ]. PEN
listen, of Leon, or as most people know
him, plain Tom Penisten. He has been
resident of Decatur county for many
years and is one of the leading citizens
of Leon, who enjoys the respect and
esteem of everyone. He is quiet and
unassuming, but never falters when
called upon to perform any duty, and if
elected coroner would discharge the
duties OF this responsible office in a
careful manner. He is entitled to the
support not only of every democrat
but of many republicans and he will
surely get a big vote. Don't forget Tom
when you are marking your ballot next
Tuesday
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-10-29

did he allow politics to interfere in any
manner with his official duty, for he
was the representative of all the par
ents in Decatur county, not simply
those of his political party. He has
had years of practical experience as a
teacher, both in graded city schools
and rural schools and personally knows
what is best for the schools of Decatur
county. There was great regret when
he was defeated two years ago and this
year many who did not vote for him two
years ago urged him to come out as a
candidate this year and pledged him
their support. We need such men as
Eli Hutchinson at the head Of our free
school system and the voters will make
great mistake if they do not elect him
as county superintendent this fall by
a big majority. Politics should not be
considered in school matters, but the
best man should be elected aud it is
conceded that Prof Hutchinson is the
right man for county superintendent
Don't forget him next Tuesday.

O. L. CRAIG
Candidate for County Surveyor

One of the important but minor
county Offices to be filed this year is
that of county surveyor, and in the per-
son of of O. L. Craig, the democratic
candidate for this office we have thor
oughly competent man for the office,
and one who can be depended upon
when it comes to locating boundary
lines and corners, and that is about the
only work of the county surveyor now.
Mr.. Craig is a son of the late Uncle
Bill Craig who was county surveyor of
Decatur county for eight years, and he
was one of the best surveyors in the
country, and for many years he assisted
his father with his field work, so that he
is not inexperienced in this line of
work. He is just plain, unpretentious
farmer, who has never sought political
office, but he is deserving of election at
the hands of the voters of Decatur
county. Don't forget to place cross
in the square in front of his name when
you are ,arking your ballot next Tues
day.

DO THE PEOPLE RULER
All the Recent Publications Convince
the Voters that Trusts Control
Legislation.

After all the excitement over The
publication of the Standard Oil letters
showing that trusts control IesisIa
tien, has reached the stage where the
voters sift the wheat from the chaff oil
sensational publications, what will be
the logical conclusion in the minds
of the voters? 1t will be:
THAT the people do not rule be.
cause the national lawmakers Iegis
late to suit the trusts. More trusts
exist today than ever, the people suf.
fer more from them, and they prac.
tiee more extortion.
2.-That the party In power is the
party through which the trusts rule.
The Republican party is now in power
It writes all the national laws. In a
speech In the last Congress, MIR. sher.
man candidate for Vce-President)
declared that the Republican party
assumed all responsibility for every.
thing that has been done and for what
has not been done. That is riqht.
The trusts write the tariff laws passed
by Republican votes. If the magnates
are not punished criminally, it is be.
cause Republican officials fail In their
duties. For eleven years the Demo.
Gratis have had no power to frame
Federal laws or to execute a Federal
statute. If everything in America is all
right as to Federal laws for eleven
years, the Republican party deserves
the credit. If "evils have crept i'm
the Republicans are responsible. The
only hope for change lies In the eIec-
zion of Bryan.
Suppose some individual Democrat
has been employed by trust. He
could not get law passed, he could
not get IAN immunity BATH" he could
do nothing effectively for the trusts
unless majority of the Republican
Congressman favored the trust meas.
ures. The Republican orators can no.
escape responsibility by trying to pick
out some Democrat who has been EN-.
ployed by a trust. Recent disclosures
prove that the people do not rule, but
that the trusts owe their existence ana
fairness to Republican laws and Repub-
lican officials.

prudence in the selection Of the mem
bers Of the board of supervisors, for
the board is the business agent of every
tax payer in the county. They have
charge of the disbursing of the taxes
which are collected by the county
treasurer and must approve all bills
presented against the county before
they are paid. The board of supervis-
ors can sqnander many thousand dol
lars OF the taxpayers money and they
are accountable to no one for their
actions. For this reason it is essential
that the very best men be elected to
serve on the board, and the democratic
party is proud of it's candidate, Mr..
Dennis Daughton, for the three year
term which commences January 1st,
, l9O9. Mr.. Daughton is one of the best
known farmers in Decatur county, hav-
ing resided for many years in Woodland
township, and now owns fine farm just
east Of Leon. He has made a succc SIS of
farming and stock raising, and is con-
sldered one of the best men of the
county. Ii elected as member Of the
board he would devote his untiring
energy to looking after tho arduous
duties which a member Of the board is
called upon to perform, and there would
be no squandering Of the county's
money so long rs he was on the board,
for he is safe and conservative in all
his business dealings. Personally he is
jovial good fellow who has friends all
over the county. His opponent is MIR.
McClaran and voters should be careful
how they mark their ballot as a voter
cannot vote for Daughton and Nc
Claran, but must make his choice be-
tween the two, and we believe that
majority of the voters will decide in
favor of Dennis Daughton. There has
been some criticism in years past in re-
gard to county bridge and road work in
this county, and none but the very best
men should be elected to the RESPONSE
BILE position Of member Of the board.
Look at the matter in a matter of fact
business light, and vote for the man
who you think will best look after your
interests, for that is just what the men,
bers of the board have to do, look after
the interest of the taxpayers.

Senator Jameson makes but one
pledge in order to get your vote. But
It is sufficient. He pledges his votes
for the people against the interests.
And as a reason for his redeemina his
pledge he gives you his record as a

ures to make it less possible for the
railroads to dominate politics, such as
the primary bill the anti-pass bill, the
joint freight rate bill, which, by the
way, saves every shipper in Iowa at
least 20 per cent on every item of
joint intra-state freight that he pays.
and saves money to the merchants and
business men of the state on the mat
tiers that they get stuck for freight on.

at that time that Governor B. B. Odell
fought against his name being placed
Oh the ticket. Odell even went SO
far as to wire Timothy Woodruff that
he would not run on the same state
ticket with Sheldon. United States
Senator Thomas c. Plat was deter
mined to have Sheldon on the ticket
and informed the Republican leaders
at the state convention at Saratoga
that Sheldon's name would remain on
the slate. The wires between the con-
vention city and Albany were kept
hot and, finally, Governor Odell was
compelled to take a train for Saratoga
in order to prevent Sheldon's name
from appearing on the ticket. Cover
nor Odell went direct to Senator
Platt's home in Saratoga and, after
conference which lasted until 2
o'clock in the morning, Plat yielded
and Sheldon's name was withdrawn
and F. w. Higgins was nominated for
the office sought by George R. Shell.

Candidate for Member of the Board
of Supervisors.


The location Of the members OF the
board of supervisors should receive
some consideration, and the great south

ship, which is one Of the big tax paying
townships of the county. He is far
mer. and good one, and life long
resident Of Decatur county. He has
been eminently successful in con-
Quoting of his business affairs and is
looked upon as shrewd, conservative
and upright business man. Mr.. Rauch
has no axes to grind, and did not seek
this nomination, consenting to accept a
nomination only after repeated urging
on the part of his friends, but SO long
as he has allowed his name to be used,
he wants to be elected and is asking
that his friends in all parts Of the
county, regardless of politics, give him
a lift, and in return he pledges himself,
if elected, to do all in his power to adj
minister the affairs of the county in a
careful and economical manner, SO as to
save the taxpayers money wherever it
is possible. while at the same time he
would not be niggardly in the expendi-
ture Of their money where it was need
ed and was not frittered away. Mr.
Rauch has reputation without spot
on it.. He does not know what failure
is, for he has worked all his life on a
farm and knows what farmer has to
contend with. He would take this same
energy which he has used SO success
fully on his farm into the Office to which
he aspires, and would carefully watch
after all business which member of
the board of supervisors is called upon
to look after. Decatur county needs
such men as Fl. T. Rauch to look after
her financial interests, and no voter
will make mistake by placing cross
in the square in front Of his name. Ills
opponent is S. P. Wiley, of the east side
