didate for congress in this district, was
in Denison on Friday last calling on
republican voters. He met quite num-
Der of business men and made ia,
vorable impression. He does not hest
tate to declare where he stands on all
public questions. He is not in any
sense a timeserver. He is a staunch re-
publican of tn Mckinley Roosevelt
Taft type and says if he succeeds in
going to congress he will regard 1t his
duty to act with the republican party,

We urge upon the voters of the coun-
ty the Importance Of going out to vote
at the primary on next Tuesday. The
primary will prove a farce If the voters
do not avail themselves Of it. We es-
pecially urge upon the republicans to
take enough time to go out to vote.
There are important rasons why
Crawford county should cast a full
vote on Tuesday next. Crawford has a
candidate for state senator to be
voted upon, besides number of candi-
dates on the county ticket. The ques-
ton Of whether the administration of
President Taft and the record Of the
republican party shall be endorsed is
also involved. There are abundant rea-
sons why every republican In the coun-
ty should go to the polls and vote, and
we urge the Importance Of doing SO. /

THE PRIMARY.

In this our last issue before the pEj-
mary election, we have a few words
to say along the line of the voters
duty. In the first place, the primary
takes the place of the old time caucus.
1t is q family affair for both parties
and no HONEST man will attempt to
participate in the primary Of party
to which he does not actually and at
heart belong.
Any other course is dishonorable.
For q republican to vote in demo-
cratic primary, or vice versa, is to act
4 q lie for which there can be no ade-
Quate excuse.
AS tie vast majority Of men are hon
est and well intentioned, it is safe to
i presume that each party will be al
lowed to settle its disputes and diff
ferences without outside interference.
1t must be confessed that recent
4 events have given hope and courage to
democracy. The discrediting of the
protective theory by a number of its
former advocates and the partially
successful efforts of the insurgents to
! block the republican program have
given color to democratic dreams Of
victory.
The democrats have three candidates
for governor, full state ticket, and,
of course, complete county ticket
I in democratic Crawford. The only real
Z contests are between Collins and
\ Champion for the authorship and be-
+ tween Terry and McKim for recorder
We do not think the candidacy of Nc
Laren for clerk is being taken very
seriously, although in saying this we
may be doing that gentleman an in
Justice. Certainly Crawford county de-
mocracy has long since paid any debt
" may ever have owed to Frank Faul.
It Is our judgment that all the old
officers will be renominated. Their
hold is so strong that nothing short of
\ 9 democratic revolution can GUST
them.
AS the majority party of the state
the great problem of the primary is
for the decision of the republican
voters.
First, and most important shall
Iowa stand by republicanisn, the re-
publican administration and the tried
and proven republican policies, or
shall 1t follow the heres;es Of Cum

The question is beyond personali-

thoroughly understand that they are
voting for the complete and immedi-
ate overthrow Of their party. not in

is q graduate Of the State University
of Iowa In both the academical and

alton in the law department in 1894,
he has been an active practitioner Of

County Attorney of Webster county
with credit to himself and those who
brought about his election.
He resigned the Office of County At

American war and enlisted to fight the
battles of his country.
His qualifications are equal to those
|of any other candidates.
He Is the only candidate for this po-

he should not receive generous sup

very evident that the old gentleman is

win votes for Carroll's opponent, but

No Final Message Was Left

Boston.-Mrs. Mary Baker Glover
Eddy, discoverer and founder of the
Christian Science, is dead An
nouncement of the passing of the ven.
cradle leader, which occurred late Sat
urday night at her home at Chestnut
Hill, was made at the morning service
of the Mother church IN this city Sun
day.
Natural causes" explained the
death, according to Dr. George L.
West, a district medical examiner
who was summoned a few hours after
Mrs. Eddy passed away. Later Dr.
West added that the more immediate
cause probably was pneumonia.
The news of Mrs. Eddy's death was
made known simultaneously by Judge
Clifford P. Smith, first reader of the
Mother church, at the close OF the
morning service, and by Alfred Farlow
Of the Christian Science publication
committee, in statement to the press.
"She had been indisposed for about
nine days" said Mr.. Farlow's state
ment, but had been up and dressed,
and as late as Thursday transacted
some business with one of the officials
of the church. She took her daily aft.
ernoon drive until two days before
death. Saturday night she fell quietly
asleep and those around her could at
first hardly realize that she had gone.
Her thought was clear until the last,
and she left no final messages.
mo physician was in attendance.
but she had the assistance of students
who comprised her household.
Mrs. Eddy was SO years old. She
was married three times, but divorce
severed one of these unions.
A fall on the ice, from which she
said she recovered in one day, led to
her PRONUNCIATION of Christian Science.
At this period she had become con
siderably impressed by the teachings
of DR.. Quinby, a mesmerist, although
she afterward denounced them. BY
degrees Christian Science grew until
it spread over the civilized globe.
Mrs. Eddy will probably be buried
at Tilton, N. H. Her son, George w
Glover, is expected to start fight for
her estate, although it is reported he
compromised former litigation by &C
cepting trust fund of s250.000. Her
adopted son, DR.. E. ]. Foster Eddy, is
not expected to make any legal claim
for her millions.
Former Senator Chandler, Mrs
Eddy'S counsel estimates her fortune
at 100000, and says he believes il
was all bequeathed to Christian
Science.
