CONNER FOR CONGRESS.

Carroll Herald-That Judge Conner
of Denison will be re-nominated as
congressman from the tenth district to
succeed himself by a very large ma
jority now seems certain. His rec
ord as a worker for the interests of
his district is conceded to be unsur-
fpassed by any congressman holding
seat in Washington. It is we'll
tknown fact that his whole attention
is given to looking after the affairs of
his constituents, not only those with
large interests. but those with small
AS we'll. The humblest citizen of the
district can write Congressman Con-
ner. and he will not only receive a
courteous reply. but he will soon find
that the congressman has been doing
all in his power to further his case.

TOO MUCH ZEAL

An over Jealous friend Of Judge
Corners is quoted in the Register
and Leader concerning Judge Conner
and the public buildings appropria-
tions. 1t is true that as member
of the committee the burden of the
work along these lines has fallen on
Judge Conner, still we do not believe
he could wish to take all the credit.
The entire delegation was undoubted-
ly helped both in the Senate and in
the House. Neither do we think
Judge Conner would care to stand
sponsor for any criticism of the con-
gressional career of his predecessor.
The policy of building public build
ings has been greatly extended in
later years and the Judges commit
teeship have given him a great lever
age.
Suffice it. that Judge Conner has
done splendidly. not only by the 10th
District but by all Iowa. Judge Con-
ner would get every vote in Ottumwa
if voters there could vote in a tenth
district primary.

WILL HAVE TO Be SHOWN.

Lehigh Argus The congressional
record Of Hon. j. P. Conner, meas
ures up favorably with that of the other
members of the house of representa-
tives. and for this reason we can see,
no reasonable excuse for desiring q
change in the tenth district. In
Webster county there is little or no
opposition to his denomination and
election. but our friends to the east
over in Hamilton county have made
a mountain out of a mole hill and are
trying to stir up strife galore. The
principal cause for this apathy seems
to be because of some minor appoint
ment which has stirred the ire of
some of the good brethren of the
press over there who take particular
delight in saying all the mean things
they can find words to express. Show
US man who has made a better
congressional record and we will
listen to you.

CONGRESSMAN CONNER.

Manson Journal-In the fight that
is being made on Congressman Conner
this year. there is being nothing put
forward to show that he has failed in
his duty to his constituents. No man
in congress can show Better record
for consistency than he. Every
measure for curbin9 corporations and
for the lettering of the people as a
whole. has had his hearty support.
Some have thought that he was not
liberal enough on the tariff question,
but if they will call to mind the fact
that even President Roosevelt was
forced to give up his fight on the
tariff. they will realize that it was
useless for man in Congressman
Corners position to waste time try
ing to upset the program laid out by
the leaders. The combination was too
strong for any but the combined peo-
pie to attack and this they have at
last been aroused to do.

A POOR ADVERTISEMENT.

Britt Tribune-Frank Woods the
Estherville man who is an aspirant
for Judge Corners place in congress
is. according to the Algona U. d. M.
R. made defendent in a suit for
$4,000 alleged damages by E. H.
White an Emmett county stockman.
The suit is based on alleged fraud in
selling the plaintiff stock in the
Wisconsin lumber and cattle COM
pany at price largely in excess Of
the value OF same by reason of false
and fraudulent representations, made
by Woods who is said to be the treas
urer and promoter of the company.
The U. d. M. R. says 1--WE know
nothing of the case but it is certainly
a poor advertisement for a candidate
for congress to have out against
him.

GARsT FOR CONNER

Senator Garst. candidate for Cover
nor is our neighbor. Not only in
Congressional affairs but in the judi
cial district we are closely allied to
Carroll county. We have much more
in common with Garst than " it'll the
other candidates for Governor. Six
months ago Senator Garst openly and
publicly declared himself for Conner
for Congress and he has "played
square" ever since. Carroll county
will give Conner thousand majority.
Progressives and standpatters alike
are for the Crawford county man.
Crawford county ought to reciprocate
and give Warren Garst as big ma
jority as Carroll gives for Conner.

R00sEvELT's SUPPORTER

1t is always a good plan to look up
a mans record when he seeks the
suffrage of the people and this is the
very thing that Congressman j.. P.
Conner and his friends desire at this
time. During the time that he has
been in Congress Judge Conner has
been among the staunch supporters
Of the policies advocated by the Pres
ident and has been an active force
for the betterment of the condition of
his constituents. Space would not
permit US to 90 into detail with re-
CARDS all the good work that has
been accomplished by Judge Conner.
but the records will show that he has
done his duty.-Gowrie News.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1908-05-27
A SURE WINNER

Congressman Conner is certain of
denomination for congress. He has
made an excellent record; he has been
one of the most consistent and ar
dent supporters of the president and
while progressive in the sense of adj
vocating certain principles and meas
ures that the growth and the pro-
gress of the nation demands to keep
it in the forefront of advancement
along all lines. he has been con-
sentative in the sense of being level
headed. Judge Conner always had
good poise. He is never carried
away with excitement nor fluffy the
cries, nor questionable isms. He
makes sure of the reasonableness and
righteousness of his positions on pub
lie questions before taking them. If
progressive he is of the safe and
sane kind; not factionist but a re-
publican that has always stayed close
to the party, advocating and defend
ing its interests and principles. He
possesses a judicial and judicious
mind. with ample backbone to stand
flatfooted by his convictions. He has
never played hide and seek to get
Office, but has always gone before the
people on his merits and has been
elected on his merits. It pays to
keep this manner of man in con-
gress. When an able and conscien-
tious servant is found, he should be 80
appreciated as to be awarded for his
fidelity and continued in office for his
ability and dependableness. When
you enter the primary booth. remem-
Der that Congressman Conner, with
the bare exception of Senator Dolli-
yer, has been the most distinguished
congressman the Tenth district has
ever had. and is in every way worthy
of your vote.-Coon Rapids Enter
prise.

A NORTH DISTRICT VIEW

The republicans of the Tenth Con-
gressional district will be called on
End day of June to select man to
represent them for the next two
years in Congress. The present lncum-
bent Mr.. Conner. is candidate for
reelection. That he will be nomi-
mated by large majority is not ques-
toned. His record as a worker for
the interests of the district is conced-
ed to be unsurpassed by any repre-
sentative holding seat at Washing
ton. But few congressman have as
fine record as Mr.. Conner in looking
after the details of his office. Any
citizen may write him and receive a
reply in few days. He looks after
the interests of the poor as we'll as
the rich and all meritorious subjects
are given thorough and careful consid-
GRAFTON. 1t is certainly gratifying to
every voter to know that we have a
represent alive in congress who will
Immediately look after your wants
with as much earnestness as if you
were millionaire and that any claim
or consideration you ask will not be
pigeon holed but will be given due
and deliberate consideration. This
Is the kind of a representative we
have in Judge Conner. not too good
to spend his time and energy for his
constituency. whoever they may be.
1t is his strict attention to the bust
ness of his constituents that has
brought him the support Of the people
of the district and he has large
following in every county. What
the people want is business admins
tration of the affairs of a representa-
tive and no man in this district will
fill the place better than Judge Con-
ner. His record in getting more pub
lie buildings for his district than all
of the other congressman combined
prior to his first election is evidence
that the Judge generally gets just
what he goes after. 1t is the man

TOO MUCH TO LOSE

Fort Dodge Messenger-The sup
porters of Judge Conner are against
the effort to displace him with new
man because they consider the move.
ment is due to combination of per-
sonal ambition on Mr.. Woods part and
unwarranted illfeeling on the part Of
q crowd who want to down Conner be-
cause he has not been suppliant to
their wishes. 1t is worth too much
to the Tenth district to have a repre-
sentative at Washington of Conner's
integrity and strength TO allow disin-
terested republicans to join in SO ill
advised hue and cry.

A CLEAN RECORD.

Very few congressman have a bet
ter record in congress than Hon. j.
P. Conner of this district, who is a
candidate to succeed himself at the
coming primary. Judge Conner is a
close student of all public questtoion
and devotes his time earnestly to the
work of congress. He always votes
his best judgment, and he always
votes. 1t is not difficult to learn
where he stands on all public ques-
tions. On the important legislation
enacted by congress his record is an
open book. Judge Conner Boone
News Republican.

THEIR CLAIMS PuNCTuRED

Carroll Herald-Some Of the Demo
cratic papers recently made the claim
that Congressman Conner would not
be able to carry his home town. but
the friends of the Congressman take
little stock in such reports. Incl
dentally. we might say that one day
last week a Conner club was organ
lied at Denison and over 300 sigma
lures were secured within a few
hours. Ninety-nine per cent of the
republicans of Denison. says the Re-
view, will join the Conner club.
This is handsome endorsement and
a deserved recognition in Conner e
home town.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1908-05-27

the present incumbent to look after
these little matters, and this strict
attention to the needs and desires of
his people has endeared him to such
an extent that he will have the united
support of varied following in each
and every county in the district. 1t
is gratifying. indeed, to have repre-
sentative at Washington who is will
ing at all times to look after the
claims Of his constituents. no matter
how small.
Judge Conner has met the highest
expectations Of his constituency, and
every county in the district is satisfied
with his services. Although there is
candidate in opposition. no word
of fault or criticism of his work in
congress has been made. So eminent
ly satisfactory has been his services
that none of the larger counties of the
district has presented a candidate. all
though the tenth is full of able men
with congressional ambitions. There
is no call for a change at this time
and the Herald's prediction is that
Judge Conner will have his usual
large maioriy in the "Big Tenth. :"
at the June primaries. In summing
up the situation. we can find no more
suitable words than the following
from the Gowrie News:
"Judge j. P. Conner of Denison
has attained station of power in
the lower house of congress and seeks
a denomination. 1t is we'll known
and established fact that it takes a
long time for man to rise to point
of large service in either branch of
congress. and therefore the man who
has gone through the getting ready
process is in much better shape to dc
good effective work than the beginner.
In this respect Mr. Conner is the much
stronger man than his opponent anc
is in position to accomplish more for
the people of the tenth district the
next years to come than any new mar
could possibly do. Judge Conner ha:
been in close touch with President
Roosevelt on all the leading question!
that have been before the people ant
has always done what he could for tn,
best interests of his constituents as /;
whole.

primaries. If for no other reason or

show no more energy in doing all
possible to help US; but that is not
all Judge Conner has made the best
kind of record in congress-. He is
appreciated in Washington and his in

vote for change of representative
for the Tenth district after considera-

to be done by majority of the dis

advantage of Conner's enforced alb

anything about it at all is aware that
Woods. if elected, could not form an

than three terms that would permit
him to be of service to his district
