SENATOR DELIVERS SUCCESSOR

The question of successor to Senator
Dolliver is being discussed by many
papers and politicians. Had his death
occurred more than thirty days prior to
the general election primary could
have been held at that time for nomina-
ton of candidate. But under the
present conditions the vacancy will be
filled by the next Legislature without
nomination at the primary, In the
meantime Gov Carroll can appoint some
one to the position; but it is safe to say
that will not be done until after the
election. He. might call the present
legislature together to elect some one
but that would be expensive and un-
necessary. The probabilities are that
he will name some one for the place
along about Thanksgiving time SO that
he may be ready to enter upon his
duties when Congress meets on the first
Monday in December If he does the
appointment will hold until the close of
the legislature next winter, that body
in the meantime having chosen some
one to finish out the unexpired term of
Senator Dolliver. Whom the governor
will appoint nobody will find out until
after election.

BEING A REPUBLICAN.

Since the republican party became
divided into factions there has been
controversery as to which faction is the
better republicans. This paper does
not purpose at this time to determine
as between the factions But it does
desire to express its belief that he is
the better republican, no matter to
which faction he belongs, who votes
the ticket best. And the time to assert
ones republicanism and make it
effective is at the polls, when voters
choose between the parties. The man
who brags about how good party
man he is and then votes the demo
cratic ticket is not republican to
be proud of.
The republicans of Shelby county
are much in need of some sort of jolt
to awake them to the fact that they
are not doing their whole duty by the
local ticket. The excellent men who
are nominated, from time to time are
not given the support to which they are
entitled. They receive their nomina-
tions at the primary or convention, con-
tribute to the campaign fund, spend
their time and money in making can
vass of the county, and go down in I'M
deserved defeat, all because republicans
will scratch their ticket and democrats
won't
A great deal is said by voters about
independence of Judgment" ''voting
for the best man." there should be
no politics in choosing county officials, !"
and much more of that same brand
There is virtue in these things, to a
reasonable extent; but when the voter
roaOrfs RI oithnr in Ordar RI insfify
his vote against the candidate of his
own party, when said candidate is
fairly clean and capable, they are the
veriest cant and twaddle.
There should be politics in choosing
county officials. Ours is a government
by party, and the only way the voter
can make his vote effective is by sus-
tanning the party which seems to him
best. And no better way of sustain
ing the party could be conceived of
than voting for and electing /. it's
nominees And to man who believes
republican principles are right, that

ride into power. In fact he made 4
leap from 1864 clear over to the law
OF 1897. He didn't say that the
tariff law passed by his party was SC
odious that his Uncle Grover" who
was President wouldn't sign it but per.
mitted it to become a law without his
signature. The speaker should have
referred to that law with great pleasure,
he should have spoken of its particular
merits, and elaborated upon the pros.
perity that followed He should have
referred TO Coxey's army, four cent
hogs, eight cent oats and fifteen cent
corn. Put the democratic party in
power and Wen assure YOU the same
good times will come again. What
u great theme that would have been
about which to yell and saw the air. :"
AN APPEAL TO PRoGREsIvEs.
Mr., Cleveland made strong appeal
to progressive republicans TO give him
their support, After reading platform
from card used by III. w. Byers in
the primary campaign he said that he
stood upon the same platform and
therefore should receive the progressive
support; that he is a progressive demo
GRAFT and because he stands for the same
things rs progressive republicans he
has right to ask for their votes; and
that if he shall be elected it will be
heralded throughout the country rs a
progressive victory. That is great
political scheme Mr.. Cleveland has
worked out to beguile the innocent but
1t wont work. Progressive republicans
won't stand for IL. Ask progressive if
he stands on the same platform with
Cleveland and he'll deny il straight up
and down and prove IL by voting for
Judge Smith for Congress.
SENATOR PoRTER's ADDRESS.
Senator Porter is nice gentleman
and u pleasing speaker. After express
ing his sorrow ut the sudden death of
Senator Deliver, he paid very fine
compliment to the late senator ~ II
gentleman, orator and statesman Mr..
Porter said he was born in this state
and proud of its history. He spoke of
the great resources Of our country; but
he is greatly alarmed because we have
reached crisis in matters of popular
government such as we have never had
before. The rights of the people are
being trampled upon in favor of the
special interests. He conceded that
Republicans of the rank and file are
just rs honest and sincere Us he is him
self, but the leadership of the party is
bad. Then he quoteo Senator Cummins
as saying that the great leaders of the
party are under the influence of the
interests, and fearful lest something
should be done that would take some
thing away from the millionaire. Mr.
Porter spoke in favor of I'm income tax
and the Oregon primary law that in.
weighed republicans into electing u
democrat for United States Senator.
He made the usual appeal TO the voters,
not rs democrats, not as republicans,
but as good loyal American citizens to
vote for him for governor. The Sena-

fact of the matter is that Judge Smith
was one of those who stood all along the
line against taking off the duty on hides.
He fought as valiantly ON the PROPOSE
ton that he has. since the session closed,
received many commendatory letters
from cattle mems associations and the
like, complimenting him on his stand,
and assuring him that they know who
their friends are. Judge Smith, how
ever, was part of the minority on the
hide proposition and when he saw that
they could not prevent the reduction in
the duty on hides he voted for the Payne
bill, hide schedule and all, rather than
vote against bill in which he believed
in the main. This is the record and the
only true one and the circulation of re-
ports to the contrary is cowardly and uni
fair.-Atlantic News.

is gain that makes party regularity
worth while. Watch your democratic
neighbors and see how they make that
the rule of their voting. Is there any
reason why they should be better
party men than are republicansg
This writer is a republican because
he believes the republican party
stands for better theories of govern
ment than does the democratic party.
1t he thought differently. he would be
a democrat. And being thinker. he
must be either one or the other. No
other party exists of strength suffi-
Gent to effect results And it seems
to him that man who mixes his pol
itics. voting pinch here and another
there, being swayed by personal feel
ing or mercenary motives, being
neither fish. flesh. nor good red her
ring, does not play the game of poll
t!cs-he plays horse. he INDUCES in

Again we say, the best republican is
he who votes the republican ticket
and votes it straight" if the names
it bears are those of clean, capable men

Senator Deliver was q brilliant ora
tor, as well as q successful politician.
His speeches were models of elOQuence.
They attracted and held all classes Of
people. He possessed o remarkable COM
mand of the English language. From
the beginning of his political career, he
was called the "silver-tongued orator
from Iowa. And he grew with the
years in power as statesman and ora
tor, As one has said, he was known to
have more facts at his command about
the tariff and money questions than
most of the men in Congress. HecOuld
handle statistics in such q charming
way as to cause people to hear and re-
member without trouble. He was q
great debater. Champ Clark the demo
cratic leader in the House, is reported
to have said that Deliver of Iowa, and
GrosvenOrsO of Ohio, were the two strong
est men in debate that he had ever met
in the halls of congress. Politically he
was popular man all through his cal
reer, until he changed front in his views
and action during the last two years,
when he lost large number of his most
ardent friends. What the result would
have been had he lived nobody knows,
and is not a matter of speculation in this
article. In social way Senator Dolli-
yer was a. modest unassuming gentle
man, possessing a charming personality.
1t was our privilege to know him well
for twenty years, and we always en-
joyed much pleasure from such acquaint-
ance. Dolliver dies in the primeof life,
but he has left a great record. His early
passing is mourned by state and ma
ton with sincere regret
The funeral today will be attended by
a large cOncourse of people, special
trains being run on the roads leading to
Fort Dodge. The services will be in the
charge of the pastor of the Methodist
church to which he belonged. A funer-
al Grafton will be delivered by Hon. B. f.
Carroll, governor of the state and Com
mittees from the Senate and House will
be present to bring tribute of respect
from the official bodies of which he had
been an able and distinguished member.
Senator Allison died August 4, 1905
Senator Dolliver passed away October

years later Both had given long and
service to the nation, and
both will have high place in the an
nails of our state.

THE SUDDEN DEATH
OF SENATOR DOLLIyER


y Senator Deliver is dead. While we
are busy getting this issue ready for the
mails, all business is suspended at Fort
Dodge, while the people of that city and
many others assembled are paying the
last tribute of respect to their most dis
tinguished citizen His death was very
sudden. He had not been well for q
year or two, though he was on duty
most Of the time. After returning from
Washington, when congress adjourned,
he thought of going south, but felt so
much better that he remained at home.
Before the primary in Wisconsin, he
went over there and made several speech
es in favor of his friend, La Toilette,
but was taken sick at Milwaukee and re-
turned home. During the last week or
two he was able to be about and Satur-
day sat on the porch, and walked about
the yard. In the evening his physician
came in, carried on q light conversation
with the senator about his case, and
while he reclined on q lounge, the ply
sician examined the condition of his
heart, by the use of a stethOsc0pe, count
ing the beats SO the patient could hear.
Presently the instrument ceased to work
when the doctor shook it, and applied it
again, but there was no response, when
q look in the senator 8 face, showed that
the heart had stopped never to beat
again. His sudden passing was a great
shock not alone to his family, but the
state and the nation as well.
Jonathan Prentiss Deliver was the
son of q Methodist preacher, and born in
West Virginia 81 years ago. After his
graduation, he came to Illinois, studied
law, and taught school several terms.
In 1878 he settled at Fort Dodge. where
he watched and waited for q practice in
his profession that was very slow in
coming. In 1884, Ret Clarkson, who had
learned about the eloquent young law
yer at Fort Dodge, recommended him
for temporary chairman of the Republic
can State Convention, where he made a
speech that won the hearts and the ad.
miratiOn of that great assembly. His
address was printed in full in the Chi
cagO papers, and even copied in England,
where it is said that its keen wit and
splendid elOquence, stamped the young
chairman as the coming orator. That
speech gave him q national reputation.
He was called east and did valiant SER
vice in the Blaine campaign, speaking
many times from the same or platform
with that distinguished gentleman and
candidate for the presidency. In 1883,
he was elected to congress, and dozen
years later he was appointed Senator by
Governor Shaw to fill the vacancy
cansed BY the death Of Senator Gear.
Later he was chosen by the Legislature
to fill the unexpired term. and four

New York On The Tariff.

The republican convention of New
York, gave the following specific en-
dorsement of the Payne tariff bill:
The Payne tariff law reduced the av-
erage rate of all duties IL per cent.
BY increasing the duties ON some lux
uries and articles not of ordinary use,
making. however no increase on any
common food product, il turned ma
tional deficit into surplus, Under its
first year of operation, the value Of inn
ports free of duty was the greatest in
our history by 500, 900, 600 and the av-
erage rate of duty was less than under
the Wilson law. Unlike that Demo
cratic law, its great reductions of duty
have not stopped idustry nor deprived
labor of any part of its hire IL gives
free trade with the Philippine Islands
and IL establishes n customs court Its
maximum and minimum rates gives us
for the first time equality of opportunity
with other nations in foreign trade,
In providing, upon the suggestion of
President Taft, for tariff board, it
affords the means of still more accur-
ately determining the differences in cost
Of production ut home and abroad
A Republican Congress is necessary
10 provide needed appropriations for this
board, and TO assure business and labor,
that changes in rates will he made only
to equaliZe the difference in cost of pro-
duction, and not to reduce rates TO the
free trade, or purely revenue basis fav-
ored by the Democratic party.
To avoid disturbance of business, we
urge the adoption by the Congress of IL
joint rule of the two houses recommend
ed by the President, and leaders III Cong
ress, by which the two houses could con
slider single schedule or a single para
graph of the tariff without the necessity
for amendment which would lead to
general revision Advances in the cost
of living are only the local reflection of
a tendency that Is world wide and can
not be truthfully said to be due to the
present tariff.

tor was hurried for time because of the
lateness of the hour, If it hadn't been
for that perhaps he would have said
more of the evils of republican manage
ment; of the hard times the farmers
have had to pay for their automobiles,
and that some of them are still so poor
that they have TO ride in carriages; and
possibly he might have read and ex-
planned his letter published in the Ger
man papers explaining his position ON
the liquor question. But the time was
up and the gentlemen had togo TO meet
their engagement at Avoca that night.

A BASE CALUMNY.

It has been charged good many
times in recent months that Congress
man Walter l. Smith voted to take the
duty off of hides as provided in the
Payne tariff law, and that in SO doing
he was working against his constituency
in this section. The record is SO abso-
lutely, different from this that the News
would not be doing its duty as q repub-
lican newspaper. if it failed to call at
tention to the sort of calumny which
has found belief in many quarters. The

PORTER AND CLEVELAND
SPEAK in AUDUBON
In Favor OF The Democratic Party In
General And Their Own Candidacy
For Office In Particular.

| The Democrats had a rally Monday
afternoon. We expected to see big dele.
cations from the north and the south
ON the morning trains but they didn' t
come. However, by the time for the
meeting at o'clock the Opera House
was fairly we'll filled by an audience of
men and women who gave the speakers
the most courteous attention OF course
a good many We're Republicans who are
always ready to listen to what the op-
position have to say and then go away
stronger in their republican faith and
ready to improve the first opportunity
to vote straight republican ticket.
The stage was occupied by the speakers
5. b. Morrissey, Editor Spencer, Banker
Bilharz and dozen other prominent
democrats of the county. Mr.. Morris.
sey, the County Chairman, presided
and introduced the speakers
Senator Cleveland OF Harlan had the
first inning and occupied much more
than his share of the time in discussing
matters pertaining to his candidacy for
member of congress against Judge
Smith of the Ninth district. After
copplimenting the ladies and lauding
our country, he took up the tariff main
tanning that the democratic party has
always been forit, but for revenue only;
while the republican party has stood for
q tariff that would afford protection to
the manufacturing interests of the
country rs well as to furnish the revenue
necessary to run the government. In
lS47 when the democrats were in full
control the tariff was 30 per cent. In
1856 they had reduced it to 10 per cent,
but he failed to tell his audience that
when the war began four years later,
after the democrats had q long lease of
power, the national treasury was empty
and the government credit was below
zero. In 1862 the tariff was increased
to 40 per cent and two years later to AZ
per cent which was the same as the
Dingley law of 1897. In speaking of
the Payne tariff law passed in 1909.
he admitted that the platform of 1908
did not pledge the party to adownward
revision, but that the platform orators
did. Yet he claimed that the provisions
of the Payne law are higher than those
of the Dingley law But the New York
Republican State Convention i'm its
platform specifically said: THE Payne
tariff law reduced the average rate of
all duties II per cent" but Mr.. Cleve-
land didn't say anything about that.

law enacted by the Democratic party
in 1893. Hedidn mention the Mckinley
