REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN
PROGRESSING FINELY
Every Man Who Claims To Belong
To The Republican Party Should
Stand For Whole Ticket.

From now until election day republi-
can campaign guns will boom contin-
uously, it being the intention of those
who have the republican campaign
work in charge to raise the point of in
terest to such an extent that the climax
will be reached on the day of election.
1t has been the experience before, that
with long. drawnout speaking cam
paign the zenith is too often reached
before election with the result that at
that time interest is on the wane.
Last week at Marshalltown, Senator
Cummins addressed the largest political
meeting ever held there He urged
united support and argued that it is
better to elect any republican, regard
less of fractional beliefs, than the best
democrat. He pointed out that the diff
erence between republicans and demo
Gratis is one of principle, while that be-
tween republicans is one of detail.
Governor Carroll, who spent all of
last week along the southern border of
the state, is impressing his large au-
diences by common sense talks He is
talking business to them, and showing
them how state affairs have been adj
ministered in business like way. As
evidence of his strength, attention is
called to the reports which are coming
from Appanoose county to the effect
that he will carry the county, regardless
Of the fact that it is the home of his
democratic opponent, Clande r. Port
er. Four years ago Porter carried it by
1900.
The manner in which all speakers
irrespective of fractional beliefs, are urg
ing voters to vote the straight republi-
can ticket is having the desired effect of
smoothing out the rutfied feelings.
People are realizing that by electing
democrat because the republican nom
inee does not hold exactly the same
views as they do, they stand no chance
of gaining the desired points.
AS the campaign uears its close the
democrats are making frantic efforts to
attract some attention. The democrat
ic meetings have been lightly attended
and as the party's nominees have not
dared to talk on the declarations in it's
Iowa platform, there has been little
aside from national issues that could be
discussed.
There are many indications that the
chief hope of success which the demo-
Gratis have is based on the belief that
they can split the support of the repub-
lican party by nursing fractional differ
ences. Democratic speakers have been
careful not to broadly offend either fac
ton of the republican party, for that
would result in an open battle between
parties and would bring out the full re-
publican vote.
There is feeling of certainty that if
all republicans cast their ballots the old
time republican majority will be rolled
up, and as q result Iowa will send prac-
tically solid republican delegation to
Washington, will have republican
state legislature, and republicans in con-
troll of most of the county offices. -Des

JUST A WORD WITH
OUR PROGRESSIVE FRIENDS
Conc erning Their Opportunity To
Make Good In This County At
Election Next Tuesday.

Some time ago leading progressive
republican said to us that it would be
expected that all the standpatters would
support Carroll for governor and Smith
for congressman; but he was afraid some
OF the progreSsiveS would cut the ticket
ON these two candidates We are sure
he was correct in the first part of his
statement; but we hope he was not cor
rect in the second part. When Cleve-
land spoke in Audubon, hetried to place
himself on the same platform with the
progressives, claiming that he is a pro
gressive democrat and rs they are pro
gressive republicans he and they are
just alike; therefore they ought TO vote
for him for Congress. During the last
four years there was nothing that
would make progressive so hot rs to
have u standpatter tell him he was u
democrat or that he talked like one.
And to have Cleveland utter similar
statement made many of them hot under
inc COlldI WllliO OthSIS were nOrllIleu

Now Just word to the progressives;
Cleveland's claim is either true or it is
not true. We do not believe it is true.
But whether it is or not, his statement
puts you right up against the propo-
sition. The case will be submitted to
you on Tuesday November 8, when you
will determine the verdict. The way
to repudiate the claim by Cleveland
that you are just like him is to vote for

When Howard Il. Kittell announced
himself as a candidate for the office of
County Treasures, the Audubon County
journal gave him the following editorial
notice.
I'VE have known Howard from in
fancy and can say for him that his life
has been pure, clean and clear from the
immoral influences of youth His great
care has been 10 comfort a widowed

office TO the School Room, and from the
Bank Clerk to the Deputyship in the
Treasurer's Office His inclination and
ambition leads him on to greater respon-
sibility, for which his youthful years so
ably trained him."
Howard is recognized as one of our best
young men, capable, honest, and accom-
odating; and with q record of four years
faithful service in the office to which he
aspires, he would have the advantage
of a thorough knowledge of the work in
all its details Mr.. Kittell enters the
race with a large acquaintance, and
many friends to assist him in his am
bition to secure the election" And we
add to the above that no more honest,
competent and accommodating man
than Howard Il. Kittell has ever been

During the last month Mr.. Jacobsen
has been making an active canvas of
the county, extending his acquaintance
and making friends. Mr. Jacobsen is a
capable and genial gentleman, and as
representative will do honor to the
county. He will vote for republican
senator too. AS we are sending out
some extra papers this week, we pub
lish the following sketch of his life.
Mr.. Jacobsen was born in Denmark
but was brought to this country by his
parents when but two years of age. OF
the forty Lone years he has been here,
he has been for thirty-fve continuous
resident of Sharon township He has
always been farmer and now lives on
his farm mile south of Kimballton, but
is engaged in the manufacture of brick
and tile. Mr.. Jacobsen received a good
education in the common schools of Shar
on, the high school of Atlantic, and Des
Moines College. He has served as a
trustee for several terms and has been
otherwise actively identified with the
interests of the community. He is a
gentleman of good ability, pleasing per
sonality and has maintained a high
standing for honesty and Integrity of
character among the people of his own
community.

cLEvELAND's CLAIMS TOO THIN.

When w. +. Cleveland spoke in Au-
dubon he tried to make Progressive
republicans believe that he and they
are Just alike. Now read what the
Nonpariel of Council Bluffs, strong
Progressive paper says about its being
too thin:
wv. f. Cleveland of Harlan, demo
cratic nominee for congress in the
Ninth district, is going up and down
the district saying that he is progress
sive democrat and that as such he be-
lieves in the same principles the pro-
gressive republicans do.
That's too thin, Mr.. Cleveland. It
fails to cover your nakedness. The
voters of the district are able to see
through your disguise and to behold
you for Just what you are, namely, a
democrat. And ON the most vital ques-
ton in the economic life of America
the tariff-all democrats are alike;
they are all hostile to protection. Not
so with progressive republicans Mr..
Cleveland knows it too. He seeks to
make capital out of play on words.
Mr.. Cleveland knows, or he may know,
by this if he has not heretofore known,
that progressive republicans are as
closely attached to protection as any
other kind of republicans, and they
have no more thought of looking to the
democratic party for remedy of evils
in the application of the principle of
protection than sensible man would
have OF having his head cut off as a
cure for the toothache.

attempt of his to steal fine raiment.
