forward movement in the republican
party and did what he could to aid 1t IN
the defeat of Cannonism in the house.
He is an able, courageous and aosos
lutely clean kind of a man.
Local interest in the judicial cam
paign centers largely around Judge
Parker for the reason that he Is the
Marshall county candidate. There are
three counties in this judicial district,
Benton, Tama and Marshall Eacn
county has candidate. Our own coun-
ty has more business for the district
court to transact than the other two
counties combined and if the interest
of the courts efficiency were con-
suited there would always be Mar
shalltown judge on the bench. 1t Is 80
necessary to have a local judge con-
venient for preliminary writs and or
ders that were any other elected ne
would feel the necessity Of moving here
to live. For this reason Judge Parker
should receive the vote Of everyone In
Marshall county whether he be repub-
lican or democrat In Tama county
local interest will give Judge Brad
shaw much more than the normal DEM
ocratic vote for he is running more as
the Tama county candidate than as the
democratic candidate. Tama naturally
wants a judge and she got one when
Bradshaw was elected, however. many
republicans still believe in standing by
their party ticket whenever the can
didates offer clean and efficient per-
sonalities and they are fully justified
this year. Clarence Nichols, the Ben
ton county candidate on the republican
ticket. has an advantage over either
of the others in that he is in the prime
of life and capable of an unlimited
amount of hard work. He is an able
and very successful lawyer. a man of
clean living and powerful physique He
is a favorite among the other members
of the bar and popular fellow; close
friend and preferentially admired for
his qualities by the late Judge Cas-
well. Judge Parker. the other candi-
date on the republican ticket, aside
from his local following in this county.
will command strong support in the
other two counties because of his fair
ness as a judge and because Of his re-
markable record before the supreme
court. having averaged less than one
reversal year when some district
judgesiy this state have been known
to have been reversed four times in the
supreme court decisions of one day.
Judge Parker possesses the qualities of
both mind and heart that peculiarly fit
MIN for judicial work Learned and
able ne has made record seldom
equaled on the bench
In county affairs there are only two
contests of any note. Mr. c. c. Cas-
we'll. candidate for county attorney on
the republican ticket, is opposed by
Anthony c. Daily, a democrat, and Har-
old Lounsberry. republican candidate
for state representative. is opposed by
Peter Louks, democrat. The usual
party vote will be cast however. ex-
cept in so far as the liquor question
enters. There is preference for Judge
Bradshaw for district judge. and fear
of Caswel for county attorney on the
part of the liberal vote altho there is
nothing in the record to show that the
personal libertyites could expect favor
from Mr.. DAILY or have any right to
fear the other judicial candidates.
Judge Parker's decisions in liquor
cases have been uniformly sustained
and the temperance forces have done
most of the complaining about delays in
hearings.
The reservoir in which Is stored the
supply Of water used by the people OF
this city has been cleaned for the first
time in two years. Inasmuch as this
water goes into our stomachs whereas
we live in our homes, our good house,
wives will probably stick to their GUS
tom of cleaning house twice a year and
washing out the coffee pot three times
a day.

TO furnish or get out of the way for
someone who can furnish it. He has
begged off by saying that. perhaps he
can compile this data by Jan. !. When
Jan. l comes he will have nothing
ready but an excuse for more time. He
has beat this thing off now for six
years and is still popular at the club.
