FIT TO REPRESENT DISTRICT
Reasons Why Voters Of the Fourth
Iowa District Should Send .. ..
Murphy to conoress-Man
Of Fine Character and
Splendid Ability.

A partial compilation has been
made of references by Republican
newspapers over the district to the
candidacy of Hon. D. D. Murphy for
congress. Everywhere Mr.. Murphy
has appeared his presence has been
the occasion for friendly comment
The press of the district, which Is
constantly growing more fearless and
Independent In politics, apparently Is
almost unanimously of the belief that
Mr.. Murphy surpasses Mr.. Haugen in
the qualities that make the ideal pub
lie servant. This belief is not con-
fined to newspapers Of any one fac
ton of the Republican party, but 1t
is general. No reference is made to
the Democratic papers, which have
so grandly and generously supported
Mr. Murphy but only those Of the op.
position are quoted.
The Fourth Iowa district contains
about 225 900 highly Intelligent people.
It's member of the national congress
should be representative Of its best
brains and best citizenship. Mr.. Muir.
phys fine character and splendid abil-
ity has impressed the district. His
election is confidently expected by
thousands Of independent men Of all
parties. The references follow. Space
permits only a few Of the many.

Mr.. Murphy wonders why 1t was that
Mr.. Haugen was reported as favoring
Uncle joe for the presidency three
years ago, and now finds that he per-
sonifies such villainy. 1t would be very
appropriate for Mr.. Haugen to ex.
plain this tonight to his Usage con-
stituents; also to tell them what he
proposes to do in the next congress
with Mr.. Cannon. We believe that
people of the district would like to
know whether he intends to vote for
or against Cannon if he should be
the caucus nominee for speaker. In
other worCs Is his opposition to Can
non real, or is it a pretonse for

10 Candid and Fair.

A good audience was out to the
speech last evening. Mr.. Murphy
makes very candid address, and is
very fair to all his opponents in all
that he says. He gives one the i'm
preston of being we'll able to take
care of himself in any forum where he
might be called upon to defend him.
self. We should be delighted to hear
Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Haugen from the
same platform the same evening in
Joint discussion.
Mr.. Murphy was disposed to agree
with Mr.. Haugen's claims in the
east end of the district that the con-
gress was ruled by one man, but mas
much as Mr.. Haugen had voted for
Mr.. Cannon year after year, it was
a little late to complain now. In fact.

Manly, independent and Fearless.

About nineteen years ago We were
doing a little campaign work in Clay
ton county in this district and met At
torney d. D. Murphy for the first time.
He was quite young then. but not SO
young but that he had won his spurs
at the bar. He was very courteous
and attentive and We formed liking
for the big. brainy-looking man. We
have met him often since then and
have never had reason to change our
estimate Of him made at that time.
We tried to measure him, but our
tape line would not reach quite
around; but we put him down as a
clear thinker, a hard student, with
strong grip on himself and fixed de-
sire to get as close to the top as he
could He has led strenuous life,
but it has been a clean. wholesome
life. no trickery, no hunt after noto-
,ety. no Office seeking, no graft, but
good, straight. honest work in fair
field. in fair way.
We have not agreed with Mr.. Muir
ply in politics, but he has always
been manly opponent, independent,
and fearless, and We opine that he
will if elected seek at all times to
serve his constituency With the same
manly devotion that he has served
his clients.
He called at our Office Monday
morning and spent lew minutes, not
as candidate seeking Office, but as
a friend and gentleman making call.
The Fourth district is normally Re-
publican. Mr.. Murphy has a hard fight
before him to win and If he does the
district will have as brainy Demo
crat to represent 1t as will be in the
next congress; If he is defeated he
will not be wilmer but will go
about his work just as cheerful as
ever. absolutely certain that his cam
paign has been as Gle n as his char
acter with nothing to regret and moth
ing to explain.
We might say more, we could not
say less and be true to our ideals. for
at no time has a mans politics made
us his enemy nor have we picked our
friends always from political associ-
ates.-New Hampton Courier.

BIG Mason City Greeting.

With ammunition he averred was
captured from the enemy, D. D. Muir
ply, candidate for. congress in the
Fourth congressional district, exploded
number of rhetoric shells under the
bastions of the opposition at meet
ing at the Wilson opera house last
evening which was the record
ing political gathering of the county
for this campaign and probably was
the best meeting yet held in the dis.
trict since Mr.. Murphy has been in
the field prosecuting an active can
vass. Nearly every seat in the main
auditorium and as well the gallery Of
the big theater was occupied, and
though the meeting was long one
and the exposition purely political.
without the least filigree to assist the
uneasy to keep their seats. held the
vast audience to man.
D. D. Murphy is without the least
semblance of the dramatic. He takes
his speaking position squarely on
both feet and during the one hour
and half he talked did not move an
inch. What gestures there were were
made with the hands and upper part
of the body. He has good, full voice.
which he handled with skill, under

ly, and seemingly without effort made
every one understand to the remotest
corners of the building. The tariff.
the railroad legislation, the postal saw
ings as the principal themes, with one
or two minor ones. made up the bulk
of his address.
In a modest way Mr.. Murphy re-
ferred to his own candidacy for con-
gress. Indirectly he took swipe at
Congressman Haugen, whom he said
while probably awake now as to tho
demands Of the people. for the past
ten or twelve years had been voting
for the very gag rule that had kept
the interests in power in congress,
kept Speaker Cannon in the chair and
perpetuated a rule which he claimed
from Republican authority alone was
a stencil in the nostrils of the people.
He told the vast audience that il
elected to represent them in congress
he would look after their interests
with the same fidelity he has looked
after the interests of clients who
trusted their business to him as an
attorney in his home town. At the
close Mr.. Murphy was given an ova-
ton and after a lengthy hand fest tho
audience dispersed. - Mason City

The Twilight of Life.

The muscles of the STOMACH in old
age are not as strong or active as in
youth and in consequence old people
are very subject to constipation
and Indigestion. Many seldom have a
bowel movement without artificial aid.
Many also, have unpleasant eructions
of gas from the stomach after eating.
All this can be avoided by the use of
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which per-
manently regulates the bowels so that
passages come naturally, and so streng-
thens the stomach that food is digested
without discomfort. 1t is absolutely
guaranteed to do what is claimed, and
