CONNER FOR CONGRESS.
A North Iowa Paper Talks on Con-
gressionaI Situation.

Britt Tribune-The primary ballot
will have the names of j. P. Conner
and of Frank P. Woods for the office
OF congressman from the 10th District
of Iowa. Mr.. Conner is the present
incumbent. and Mr.. Woods is a young
man from Estherville who wants the
Office. Judge Conner has served for
several years to the satisfaction of
the republican party of Iowa. as far
as we have ever heard. and stand
high in the councils of the nation. He
asks for denomination. and has the
backing of the district in every part
of it, with the sole exception of, q
very few disappointed aspirants for
P. o. honors, and these are 80 few
that they can almost be counted on
the fingers.
Mr.. Conner is not yet at the zenith
of his fame as legislator. the same
attention will be given the business
Of Iowa in the future as in the past
and he is equipped for the duties as
they come as we'll and perhaps better
than any other man IN congress today.
A man in perfect health, and of
quick perceptive faculties. he keeps
abreast of the times. and is always in
accord with the party in the national
capital. He has been one of the
greatest helpers to the president in
all the wise and judicious legislation
of recent years and holds the respect
and confidence of the president of his
official family. Those who have had
occasion to need the services of con-
gresham at Washington have always
found him to be ready ard willing
to aid them in any laudable UNDER
taking. and business of that character
is never allowed to lag along from
month to month with nothing doing"
that is entrusted to hun. At home
he has the undivided endorsement of
the entire body of voters. of the re-
publican party with a good big
democratic list of admirers who stand
by him. Crawford county is a unit
for Conner always. There is but
little chance for any one to get
enough votes against him in the re-
publicans ranks of the 10th district
to keep themselves out of the scatter
ing column and such should be the
case. He is good man for the posi-
tion and good officer after being
elected to it. What is the matte,
with Conner? He is all right and
always has been.

Williams Iowa Wasp Word comes
from Webster City that some of the
politicians at the county seat are op-
posed to Judge Conner because thew
cannot dictate appointments controlled
by the Judge; but it is believed the
majority of the republicans at the
county seat are for reelection of the
congressman. He certainly did the
town good turn in getting an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for a public
building which is now in course of
construction. OF course if Judge
Conner were AN unfit man he should
not be supported for reelection. But
those who know him best vouch for
his high character. He is clean
christian gentleman of exalted ideas
and pure life. He is not given to
some of the lax ways that mark off,
cial life in Washington. His habits
are proper. his associations good. and
aside from being Industrious and cap
able representative he is an example
of American citizenship worthy of
emulation.

THE PORK BARREL.

The larger cosmopolitan dailies
have been having good deal to say
this week about the ''pork barrel. -
This is the refined and delicate man
ner in which the great dailies refer to
the appropriations for Public Build
ings in those years when their partic-
ular cities are not included in the
bill. The attempt is to belittle the
efforts of the congressman who assist
in securing portion Of these APP
preparations for their own state and
district.
Upon his entrance into Congress
Judge Conner made q most favorable
impression upon the leaders of the
House and he was given a place on
the important Public Buildings Com
mittee. He stuck by this committee
although later offered place on the
Judiciary. until now he has become
one of the best informed and most in
fuential members. It ia very largely
through his efforts that Iowa has
splendid Federal buildings in so many
of its thriving cities. In his own
district Fort Dodge. Webster City,
Boone. Estherville and Denison will
have enduring monum ents to his
energy and influence, long after the
work of some congressman is gladly
forgotten. Marshalltown. Iowa City,
Iowa Falls, Mason City, Ottumwa. a
score of cities not forgetting Des
Moines. have reason to be glad that
j. P. Conner was IN Congress to urge
their claims. But from the talk Of
some of these great papers you would
think that Judge Conner had been
caught stealing from the public treas
ury. The fact is that long after
Judge Conner shall have ended his
congressional career succeeding
congresses will continue to appro-
pirate millions of dollars each year fol
the erection of public buildings. The
people of the Tenth District may de-
eide that Judge Conner should not re.
turn to Congress. we do not think
they will, but they might. In such
case the appropriations would 90 on
