STAND BY REPUBLICAN TICKET

1t is worth while for republicans to
pause OF this time and do a little reflect
ing. Democratic speakers are holding
out with gracious hands the proposition
that the difference between republicans
are irreconcilable and that the most eff
fective way for one element to square"
matters with the other element is to
unite with them in the election of demo
Gratis. If this proposition be true then
the doctrine of Abraham Lincoln that a
''house divided against itself cannot
stand must give way to the paradox
ical proposition that in the stress of
storm the house should be permanently
sundered
Such course would be the height of
folly. The republican platform is wide
enough for all republicans to stand up
on without humiliation or discomfort.
In this issue we print the address of
Senator A b. Cummins delivered at
MarshalltownT Tuesday evening. In this
address Mr.. Cummins clearly defines
the issues in the pending campaign and
points out unanswerable reas ons why
all republicans should vote, the republi-
can ticket. A moments reflection ought
to convince any thinking republican
that a party including within its mem
bership majority of the voters in the
country must of necessity permit some
latitude of opinion in the matter of de-
tails. Senator Cummins points out the rea-
sonable and sensible course for support
ing the republican ticket.-Nonpareil.

ABOUT THAT AGREEMENT.

The Advocate said in its last issue:
IAN agreement was drawn up and pre-
sented to prOgressives and standpatters
for their signatures whereby they agreed
to vote the republican ticket and espe
cially for some candidates. Some signed
and some refused to sign it, Now if
Mr.. Ross continues to tumble the truth
any further in regard to the matter we
are ready to have him set the time and
place to produce the evidence in the
case
In reply let us say that the president
and secretary and other members of the
Audubon Republican Club say that the
statement is absolutely false. Now if
you consider that as fnmbling the truth
you can bring forth your evidence. We
name Friday, November IL, as the time,
and the Audubon Advocate as the
medium through which to furnish such
evidence. We challenge Mr.. Spencer,
l To print the agreement he says
was prepared.
2 To state by whom and by whose
authority it was prepared.
3 To give the names of three stand
patters and three progressives who
signed it or refused to sign it.
4 To give the affidavit of some re-
putable citizen that what you print is q
genuine copy of said agreement.

Senator Cummins Leans Backward

The speech of Senator CUMMINS in
this city was certainly regular enough
to satisfy the most hardened stand pat
ter The senator virtually declared
that the most reactionary Republican
if honest" in his beliefs, should be pre-
ferred by voters to the most level-head-
ed and progressive democrat; and he
asserted in SO many words that he would
rather suffer the mistakes Of the Payne tariff for
thousand years than the disaster ola tariff for revenue
for a single month.
Having made up his mind to encour-
age the regulars and emphasize his
own loyalty to party, Senator CUMMINS
was regular with a vengeance. He knew
he was expected to stand straight; he
leaned backward-so far backward that
the effect must have been bewildering
to many independents and more Demo,
Gratis.
To think that only few months age
RAYNER was jauntily inviting CUMMINs
and other aggressive insurgents to walk
right over into the Democratic camp

GOOD REPUBLICAN TIMES

Under this heading the editor of the
Advocate says: Yes, that is what we
have always heard What about oats
selling for % cents bushel just now?
What about corn selling for 35 to 81
cents a bushel for old corn? Prices
were as good as these under Grover
Cleveland The cost of living then was
only about half what it is now. Oats at
ten cents and other products in proper
ton was as good then as the present
prices, but the farm products brought
as much then as now.
But how much did they buy? The
average prices of farm products in March
1896 and March 1910 show in striking
manner the farmers condition at the
present compared with his condition
in 1896. The real value of any article
is its exchange value. In March 1896.
ten bushels of corn equalled in value. 81
pounds of Rio coffee and in March 1910,
20 pounds. In March 1896 ten bushels of
corn equalled in value 81 yards of brown
sheeting, and in March 1910, 80 yards.
In March 1896, ten bushels of corn
equalled in value, % bushels of anthra-
cite coal and in March 1910, 35 bushels.
In March 1896, ten bushels of corn
equalled in value SO pounds wire nails
and in March 1910, S37 pounds. These
examples are given to show the differ
ence betpeen democratic times in 1896.
and republican times in 1910.

CuMMINs FOR STATE TICKET.

Senator Cummins made his first po-
litical address in Iowa during the pres
ent campaign, at Marshalltown last
week, when he made it clear that it is
the duty of Iowa to stand by the nation
al administration by electing every
candidate on the republican ticket.
Speaking of the republican state tick
ct Senator Cummins said: Il speak in
behalf of the state ticket, also, and
every candidate upon it. / cannot spec
ify the names that are. in your minds
the time is too short. They are capable
and honest servants; they have shown
distinct ability in their administration
of the affairs of the state. While don't
agree with all they have done, believe
that the best interests of the state de-
mands their election. 1t is absolutely
necessary that the state of Iowa be in
sympathy with the national administra
ton. l speak for them and for all of
them They are deserving of the active
support of every republican voter in
| this state and we should make the vic
| tory of the state ticket this fall the
greatest republican victory in the his
tory of the state"
There is an honest, stable and rea-
sonable basis on which all republicans
can come together without the loss of
self respect and without attempting to
obliterate from the memory of any in
telligent and patriotic people the hap
penings of the last few years.
MY mission is to define what that basis
is and to show that it furnishes foun-
dation for political structure commod-
ious enough to house every man who be
lieves in the fundamental principles of
the republican party as they have been
held for more than half a century and
as they have been exemplified in every
republican platform from the time of
John c. Fremont and Abraham Lin
coin to Theodore Roosevelt and William
H. Taft.

NOTHING MORE is NEEDED

Why not tell what Cousins and McGin-
mis- have been doing since they came
home from the army, cries the Audi
bon Advocate in the last issue. We
answer because it isn't necessary. Now
let us see.
l Both of them served their country
faithfully and Loyalty in the Civil war
and We're honorably discharged.
2 Both of them sought an education
and used it to good purpose one in the
pulpit and the other in the schoolroom
3 Both have been men of high moral
character and good citizens in the com
munities where they have lived.
Both of them have proven their
ability and competency to fill the offices
they seek in successful manner, by
their work during the past two years.
5 Both of them have been good party
men, voting for the principles and candi-
dates of the republican party.
Nothing more is needed. Vote for the
two old soldiers on the Republican ticket
and all the rest of the candidates.

A Pleasant Musical Recital

On Wednesday evening of last week,
at the pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Wilde, quite a large company
enjoyed a very pleasant and profitable
time 1t was the occasion of Recital
by Mrs. Wilde's class in music, to which
the parents had been invited and no
pains had been spared by Mr. and Mrs.
Wilde to make it success in every
way. While the company was gather
ing, the earlier arrivals enjoyed a social
time. When all had arrived, the foil
owing program was given by the class.

Four of the class who were unable to
be present but had prepared selections
were as follows:
'In the Meadow" Nellie Twist
Holiday March" -- Nellie Clark
Step by Step" -.------- Mary Campbell
Flag Day March '-------- Mrs. Clifford
At the close of each selection, the
player was presented by Mrs. Wilde
with pink carnation. The rendering
of the selections was good considering
the length of time each had received
instruction, and noticeable feature
was that if slight mistake was made,
the pupil did not become confused, but
corrected it,, and proceeded with an air
which seemed to say, 'Ill play this
through or know the reason why" and
that bodies complete success in the end.
Mrs Wilde and Miss Ethel Henshall
then favored the company with three
beautiful instrumental duets, and Mrs.
Wilde sang in her usual pleasing man
ner, that beautiful selection, Sing me
some quaint old Ballad" Dainty re-
freshments were then served, Mrs. Wilde
being assisted in the serving by mem
bers of her class Next all were asked
to take part in some amusing contests
which had been arranged by the hostess
The first was answering a list of twenty
questions each answer being term used
in music. The prize, a pretty little
statuette, was won by Lulu Leavens,
with fifteen correct answers, the second
contest being "Pinning tail on the
donkey" brought similar prize to
Ethel Templeman. The last was Pea
nut carrying" contest, which finally
simmered down to two contestants, Mrs.
Turner, and Lula. Leavens, in which
Mrs. Turner won by margin of one
peanut, and a pretty little ornament
was hers. Atquite late hour the comp
any departed for their homes, voting

WHAT VICTORY WOULD MEAN.

The election of a Democratic House
would unquestionably mean the reopen
ing of the entire tariff controversy. The
Democratic leaders in Congress have
made so many attacks on the PAYNE
act in the campaign that they would
feel constrained to frame measure to
revise it if they should get in power.
Even If that measure should be halted
in the Senate it would arouse an agita-
ton which would be harmful to trade
all over the country. From November
. onward there would be a popular fear
that the Senate might be coerced or
coaxed into accepting Democratic tar
lit revision. Moreover the election Of
a Democratic House this year would
arouse dread that there would be
Democratic president and senate chosen
two years hence to back up the Demo
cratic House. This was the sequence
OF things twenty years ago. Through
lack of interest on the part of a large
element of the Republicans the Demo
Gratis were permitted to carry the House
of Representatives in 1890, and they won
the other branches of the government
in 1892. The memory of the disaster
which that brought is so fresh in the
minds of millions of voters that the pan
ic which was postponed from 1890 to
that year would make an earlier advent
now. A Democratic triumph on No
vember will bring a setback to all
branches of industry. 1t will be received
by the country as a portent of Demo-
cratic victory all along the line two
years hence. The Democrats will boast
that the country is theirs if they carry
the House by even ten majority. AS
they haye already, through the Maine
election, won two seats in the House
and one in the Senate they feel encour-
aged to make a supreme effort in the
approaching election. Let there be no
mistake about the effect of a Democrat
ic victory in November The Republi-
can who, through carelessness or per-
versity, contributes to Democratic tri-
umph will prepare for himself the re-
greet and discredit which thrust itself
upon those Republicans who refused or
neglected to support the party candi-
dates in 1890 and 1892 The industrial
disaster which Democratic House
would bring may be predicted with en-
tire confidence. Business wants rest
from all threats of marrying legislation,
and Republican defeat off November
8 would bring this threat in decidedly
concrete shape. st. Louis Globe Dem

ED. B. COUSINS
Republican Candidate For Second
Term AS County Auditor

No man in Audubon County has been
more loyal to republican principles nor
more faithful to the republican party
than Ed B. Cousins the present County
Auditor. Mr.. Cousins began right. When
a young man he enlisted in the oath
Iowa and did valiant service for our
country. While in the field in 1864, he
cast his first vote, which was given TO
the great leader, Abraham Lincoln; and
he has been steadfast republican ever
since. After the close of the war he
sought an education and graduated from
the Iowa State University. For thirty
years he has resided in this county where
his record for ability and high charac-
ter is well known. During the last two
years he has performed the duties of
county auditor in a faithful and efficient
manner and is now asking for second
term which will no doubt be granted by
a good majority. Every Republican
should remember Mr.. Cousins at the
polls next Tuesday
