Concerning Ills Candidacy For
Office OF Attorney General.

FROM SHENANDOAH SENTINEI.-PoST
IL our " Progressive Friends will not
think 1t encroaching upon their political
perquisites ! would like to say q word
i'll behalf of George Cosson for Attorney
General of Iowa, He is Progressive
of the most Standpat variety for the
enforcement of the laws of the state.
the author Of several laws passed by the
last legislature. He is to Attorney
! General Byers what Elisha was to Elijah
of old, and the mantle of Byers is to fall
on Cosson, | do not think his nominal
ton will have any bearing ON the situa
| tionin Washington but do think every
good citizen Of Iowa ought To support
him because of the good work he is
doing for morality and clean citizenship
IN this state, Every saloon keeper i'm
the state IL working 60 defeat Cosson
and that is one very good reason why ]
ann for him
FROM THE CARROLL HERALD
The people of this county take pecu-
liar pride in George Cosson He spent
his boyhood days IN Manning, brave
manly fellow who WAS supporting his
mother and little children when he was
but little more than a child himself Ii
Is remembered how he attended school
in Manning every day and that he walked
threee miles every night TO Aspinwall
whore he had a iobas night operator for
the Milwaukee, and walked back home
in the morning, He made this terrific
task possible by arranging continuance
so he could nap ON n hard wooden table
and be reused when u call came over
wire. This strenuosity in doing right
IA Imam la. Ia "a, Of IA -
has ever been man of deep purpose
conviction and attainment BY his own
efforts he has a law practice of the first
rank and for several years has been spec.
ial counsel in all important matters
pending in the office of the Attorney
General, The state cannot afford to the
general ability, legal training and the
honesty of George w. Cosson or To over
look the fact that the state has trained
him ut its own expense 10 be success
ful Attorney General
FROM COUNCIL BLuFPS NoNpAREIL.
The law -defying element of Iowa,
already groggy from blows administered
To il by Attorney General Byers, is due
for another shock ut the primaries on
June Seven. The nominee of Republi-
can party for Attorney General, ~
developed on that occasion, will he State
Senator George Cosson, of Audubon
county. II anything Of the primary can
be foretold in advance IL Is this.
Cosson and law enforcement are syno-
nymous terms in this campaign. With
Cosson I'm the Attorney Generals Office
there will be no slackcnng Of the pace
set by Byers in matter of law enforce
ment, Cosson Is author of the Cosson
laws. These statutes are the backbone
OF the reform movement in Iowa. They
are what we have needed all along to
put an end to Wholesale defiance Of law
in certain communities Of the state par
ticularly in larger cities. IL was these
laws that made 1t possible for Byers to
do what Inc has done. II seems pecui-
arly fitting that the author of these salu-
tary measures should be put in posi-
ton 10 continue the excellent work Of
giving them vital force in operation.
