HUN. V. H. MCC1NN1o
Democratic Candidate for Judge of the District Court
The voters of Decatur county, irrespective of par
ty, should give Hon. V. r. McGinnis hattering vote
at the polls next Tuesday. Mr.. McGinnis has been
resident of Decatur county for nearly quarter of
century. He is of the most brilliant attorneys in
the whole state of Iowa. man whose legal opinions
always sought and who has been eminently
cessfu in the legal practice It has always been the
theory Of many voters that the judiciary should be
absolutely divorced from politics, and four years ago
with this idea, the democratic party in this district
made no nominations against Judge Towner and
Judge Evans. This feeling should be reciprocated,
ssand ofered to elect an able
man as Judge it should be done. There never was
more loyal citizen of Decatur county than Mr.. Nc
Gnnis, who has given time for the benefit
Of the public, often at sacrifice Of his personal in
terests There two judges to be elected this year,
and there are four candidates. Voters should
member that they vote for any two judges they
want to- regardless Of whether they appear opposite
each other not On the official ballot the of
Mr.. McGinnis and Judge Evans appear opposite each
other but if the voter desires he vote for both
Judge Evans and Mr.. McGinnis, by crossing the
squares in front of both of their All the voter
has-to do is to avoid making in than two
of the squares for judges. Every voter in Decatur
county who thinks that Mr. McGinns would make a
good Judge Of the district court should see that he
casts his vote for him as one of the two Judges to be
elected.

that city for twenty-eight years
or more went into one of the
stores on Seventh street and told
them what she thought of the city
going wet (the men in the store
being in favor of the wets). She
said she had been a washerwoman
in Rockford for twenty eight
years, had earned the living for
her family over the washtub with
the hardest kind of labor until the

The phenomenon of tanning is

Fans, when spoken of in rela-

concerned with the fortunes of
the team. This does not include
the management nor the active
participants. 1t regards only the
onlokers and we'll wishers whose
interest is igratuitous. 1t is these
who feel the greatest joy imagin-
able at winning, or become sullen,
melancholy and unhappy when
their champions nine succumb to
the ordeal.
The fans, or "bugs" as they
are called, will fill the seating
capacity brimful and clap their
hands joyfully. when anything
happens to merit appreciation.
They also render such aid as lies
in their power. At a critical mo-
ment when the twirler discovers
himself tugging at the anchor
rope, they conjure him to settle
down and stay awhile. When one
of their men glides forward to
abstract base, scarce a whisper
falls. If he is detected and ap-
