.01TUMWA MADE
. A GOOD c ain
IN Ten YEARS.
DAVENPORT WAS ONLY CITY IN
SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEAST.
ERN IOWA WHICH MADE BIG.
GER PER cENT<lNcREAsE.

Ottumwa made a greater gain IN
population in the last ten years than
any city in southern and southeastern
Iowa with the exception of Davenport.
This Is an excellent showing for the
southeastern metropolis and to make
this good gain. Ottumwa did not ex-
tend her city limits taking in the 1000
or 5000 people living within several
blocks Of the present corporate line.
The population OF Ottumwa in 1900 was
1897 and 220l2 in 1910, a gain OF
3.815 or 81 per cent. Davenport made
gain Of 1859 in ten years or 20 per
cent
The population of Ottunwa today is
over the $4,000 mark. Since the TAX
ing of the last census. many families
have moved to the city. the Moline
Pump factory bringing q large num-
Der of people from Moline. Outside the
city limits on all sides are numerous
families who really reside in the city.
They trade here. they have employ
ment> in the factories of Ottumwa and
should be counted in the population.
In the east end there is Riverview adj
dition which Is the home of many
families although it is outside the city
limits. Bordering South Ottumwa is
Schickville a thriving little community
|of thirty homes which should be
counted in the city's population There
are number of new families near the
pump company plant. and at the end
of Chester avenue can be found several
large families who are just outside
the corporate limits. On the north
there IS q large colony outside the
limits on Court street which should. be
counted.
While Waterloo showed a great gain
in population, that city extended its
corporate limits ell around. Although
the population of Waterloo is less than
1000 over Ottumwa that city covers
twice the area Of Ottumwa.
Ottumwa would easily have over
$4,000 people If 1t had extended its city
limits like Waterloo and other Iowa
cities which showed big gains.
This Is not e mere generalization.
1t is a concrete fact. In the eight and
ninth voting precincts of Ottumwa,
the voters Of which work in Ottumwa
and vote in Ottumwa. although living
In suburbs not as yet taken into the
city limits. the census returns show
population of 1909. which, added to
Ottumwa's count Of 22,012, gives the
city population of 24,921. The peo-
pie brought to Ottumwa by the new
pump factory will bring the total safely
over $4,000.
A table showing the comparison Of
the population of southern and south
eastern Iowa, cities Is given below to
show the big gain made by Davenport

while two of his standpat colleagues
in Republican districts, went down.
If insurgent Republicans in Kansas,
Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin win,
and the standpat element OF Ohio are
defeated in November, regardless OF
whittier the next house is Democratic
or Republican, il will be a sure indi-
cation that the Republican voters
have irrevocably committed their
party to progressive policies. and the
elimination of the old regime will
have been completed. An of year
is a good time in which to settle
these internal party disturbances.
The Democrats in Tennessee are do
ing the same thing. and both parties
have the opportunity in Illinois to-
day 1t would be suicidal for any
party to attempt 1t during national

tanning a dignified aloofness from
the contests though he undoubtedly
is watching and endeavoring to in
