IT WAS A FALSE ASSERTION.

Efforts having been made to make
it appear that Governor Sanders had
antagonized his return to the Ma
tional Congress from this District,
Hon. Joseph E. Ransdell, who was
% signally successful in his late race
over both his competitors, has issued
. card denying the charge quite en-
phatically, it being evident from
Mr.. Ransdell's utterances that whilst
the Governor did actually keep
hands off," his sympathies were
with him in the brave and gallant
fight that was made against the lat
ter's two opponents.
Since his reelection Mr.. Ransdell
has been confined to his room by
an attack of illness, but this did
not prevent him from embracing in
the card above referred to his sim
cere thanks to all who voted for and
worked for his denomination and
election.

MAS THE PRESS LOST ITS pOWER7

The voters of the Fifth District
have again returned Hon. Jos. f
Ransdell to his seat in Congress
The press, with possibly two OF
three exceptions, has given hearty
and loyal support to Mr.. Ransdell
since the opening of the campaign
and this support had much to do
with the handsome majority re-
turned in his favor. Owing to his
\ personal magnetism and individual
acquaintance throughout the various
parishes, his election might have
been attained, but We doubt it. At
any rate his majority would have
been greatly decreased, and possibly
a second primary would have been
necessary to decide the matter. How
ever, with an almost unanimous
press to back him up, the result was
a foregone conclusion from the start
1t has been contended by some
that the power of the press has
waned. and is no longer considered
as the moulder of public opinion,
but recent events have proven the
fallacy of this claim.
Aside from all arguments as to
the pro and con of the question, We
desire to congratulate those of our
fellow journalists, who saw fit to aid
Mr. Ransdell, for the able and in |
tclligent manner in which that SUD-
port was presented to the reading
public, and the sincere wish of the
Times is, that they may live long
Ind their power never grow less.

The work Is being done among all

900 persons addressed by DIR. Kepford
were 502 club women, $3.50 college stu
dents. $3.50 high school students. 1881
teachers. 1861 grade pupils. and 1880
farmers at county Institutes. There is
much effort to enlarge the work among

Iowa was one of the very first states
to take up this work and make an ap-
preparation for carrying it on. The
state was fortunate in having 1t placed
in charge of the board OF control. and
in the four years that board has ad-
hered closely to the policy which was
outlined at the start of making 1t q
purely educational work among the
people. DR. Kepford has proved an eff
fective speaker and popular lecturei
and he has calls for all the work which
he can do.
The work is entirely separate from
the maintenance of the state sanator-
ium at Oakdale, which can. at best
care for but limited number Of pa
