.IETtALL PULL TOGETHER.

New Sharon Star: 1t ought to be
a matter or pride with every republi-
can in Mahaska county that they have
a ticket constituted entirely of men
worthy of solid support. There is
not man On the ticket that is less
than able, clean, competent and wor'
thy of the position for which he has
been nominated. 1t is a splendid
time in which every republican can
vie with his political associates in an
effort to make his township vote as
large as possible. While this is true
of every precinct, it is especially de-
sirable in Prairie, where an especial
effort should be made to secure as
large a majority as possible for every
candidate. 1t is up to Prairie now to
make an especial effort to return one
of her old-time republican majorities,
not for one, not for all but one, but
for every republican candidate. No
democrat has any claim on any re-
publican vote.

WHITE AND THE .ARMERs.

"a Fred White, democratic candidate
for governor, devoted portion of his
speeches in Dubuque Tuesday night to
fearful sympathy for the Iowa farmer
robbed by the protective tariff enacted
by a republican congress. The Times
Journal of that city takes notice of his
lachrymose utterances to say:
THE farmers are no. complaining.
They have no reason to do so when
present prices of farm products are
compared with those which prevailed
back in 1894. when the Wilson law
was enacted, or in 1893 or 1896, the
years when the country was prostrat'
eddy the democratic threat of repu,
dfation. The years following the re,
turn of the republican party to power
in the nation have been the most pros.
porous in the history OF Iowa. This
is fact which no farmer in Iowa
democrat or republican, will deny. and
facts are stubborn things against
which such theorists as Mr.. White
plead in. vain" ..,

ONE GUESS ON LACEY.

Centerville Iowegian: In the June
primary Allison received approximate
ly 100000, Cummins $4,000" OF these
same voters Lacey will receive a
large per cent of the Allison strength.
He will lose some that had been Cum
Minis supporters, but voted for Allison
Through personal friendship and be-
cause of his long and honorable rec-
ord Cummins will lose perhaps an
equal number who voted for him sim
ply because of the old age issue, that
being the strongly featured point OF
the opposition to Allison. In add
ton, Cummins win lose large num-
Der of votes of those who in June
thought they had some republicanism
in them, at least enough to be friendly
to the governors cause, but now they
are for Bryan when the campaign is
sues have really caused them to size
up their political preferments. 1t has
been estimated that as many as 200
to the county voted for Cummins who
have now discovered that they were
not really republicans. This would
reduce the Cummins vote 10000 in
this state. But, suppose this only re-
duces il 10000. So we arrive at the
conclusion that the same voters would
now give Cummins $4,000, Lacey 1885,
900. But there were 100000 who did
not vote. Personal observers in this
and other counties say it. was, the
farmer vote. that stayed at home, 1O0,-
900 of tpem,. and that fully rs per
cent of this vote is strongly protection
and opposed Cuhmins' Canadian rec
iprocity position. To be conserva-
tive, say the Lacey vote of this class
win be only 60 per cent. This gives
him 10000, Cummins 10000 of the
stay at homes. The total for Lacey
would then be 166, 900, Cummins 1885,
600, a majority of 10000 for Lacey.
These figures have been arrived at
through course Of reasoning that
seems so conservative as to make La,
cey's success assured.

called to the sign of Jas. G. Patter

better looking and busy with his sue

have always found him truthful and
with honest convictions and not
afraid to assert them when the occa

reason why he would not make a fine
county attorney, for he has no axes tc

any wounded feelings TO soothe. HAY

MR., HAMILTON. TACTICS.

After declining to accept Mr.. Ken
dalrs. challenge for a Joint discussion
Mr.. Hamilton, the democratic candi-
date for congress, is following Ken
dali around over the district holding
meetings on the day following the
republican meetings. He discovered
when Kendall was to speak in Davis
Jasper, Poweshiek and Monroe coun-
ties, and then billed himself for the
same places Kendall spoke, only a
day or two after Kendall had gone,
This sort of tactics is entirely in keep
ing with the methods adopted by the
democratic management in the cam
paign, but it is thought that Mr.. Ham
ilton had too much decency to en-
gage in it, Why did he not accept
the challenge for joint debate? Why
skulk in the rear of Kendall instead
of meeting him face to foce on the
platform?

prosects of financing the project of a
