MR.. WOODS SPEAKS UP.

Washington, D. c., Dec. Spec
;al to the Freeman-Tribune: Hon.
Frank P. Woods. member of con-
gress. from this district, has finally
made a statement OF where he
stands upon the matter Of presiden-
tial choice. While conversing with
a friend last night the question was
considered and In response to the
opportunities OF the friend Mr..
Woods said: 81 will say frankly to
you that propose to support for
president until the convention
makes a nomination, Mr." Just
then the fire whistle sounded and
your correspondent could not catch
the name OF the candidate whom
Mr.. Woods will support. but l am
satisfied he will support him who
ever he may be. I hope this infor-
nation will be as satisfactory to
your readers as could be expected
under the circumstances.

some, especially when made by
those who want Office in town al
most before they gain residence.
The Freeman Tribune resents the
Implication that it called Mr.. Woods
bad names or referred to him as a
bulldozer and buffer. OF course Mr..
Woods has the right to recommend
anyone he wants to, but apparently
Walterick and a few other narrow
minded and blind followers OF Mr..
Woods think no one has right to
criticise his recommendations. The
chief reason to complain at Mr..
Woods method is the pretention of
Letting the people decide" and then
recommending whomsoever he
pleases. The Freeman-Tribune is
not in the habit of attacking any
ones personal character, the insin-
uations of the Wasp to the contrary

Gee. but Monte Of the Freeman
Tribune is sore. He nearly called our
honorable congressman, Frank P.
Woods, some bad names in one OF
his last weeks issues Of the paper.
It must surely be that our friend
Monte was disappointed in get

Wonder what's the matter OF
Walterick OF the Wasp. He already
has an itching for the Williams
postoffice and possibly thinks the
way to get it is to misrepresent the
Freeman Tribune. Monte" can say
for the delectation OF Walterick
that he made no suggestions what
ever to Mr.. Woods in regard to the
postmastership of Webster City and
that he wasn't disappointed or even
surprised. This whine about Woods
being above criticism is getting tire

The F'reeman-Tribune believes
that Judge Bordwell did right in
sentencing ]. B. Mcnamara to the
penitentiary for life instead of send
ing him to the gallows. Mcnamara,
of course, deserves death. No pun
ishment would be too severe in his
case. But his confession is of I'M
told value to the country. Many
honest laboring men, members of
unions, were led to believe in his in
nccence and had the trial gone on
and Mcnamara been convicted
these honest men would have still
thought that it was plot of capt.
tai and that Mcnamara died a
martyr to labor. The confession has
cleared the atmosphere and revealed
to laboring men all over the country
that they have been cruelty deceived
by the very men in whom they had
implicit confidence. The Freeman
Tribune is not prepared to say that

the men who have duped them In
the past and 1t is evident that the
ny pocrites in the union will not find
It such easy shedding hereafter.
Union labor, like political party,
a lodge, church or other organiza-
ton, will be judged more by Its
leadership than by anything else. 1t
does not mean that the lodge or the
church or the party is corrupt simp-
~ because inscriptions men worm
their way into leadership. But the
lodge, the church or the political
party that does not purge itself OF
bad leadership when advised Of the
situation must take the consequen-
ces. Union labor will come out OF
this ordeal clarified and improved.
The great toiling masses who COM
pose Its membership will assert
themselves and the organization
will be regenerated and unified. In
the long run, the Freeman-Tribnne
sincerely believes. the staggering
blow delivered union labor by the
Mcnamara confession will prove its
greatest blessing.

Deputy Game Warden Marsh Of
Fort Dodge has caused the arrest of
ten persons for violations Of the
game laws during the past month
and each was fined $25. There is
more disposition on the part of the
public to assist in convicting per-

laws than ever before. This means
better and easier enforcement. The

The grafters must go. They go
hard, but go they must. According
to press reports Gov. Carroll has
been requested to direct the attor-
ney general to begin custer proceed
ings against certain members OF
county boards of supervisors on the
ground that they have been favor
ing bridge contractors. The Free
Tribune is pleased to note the
growing sentiment against all forms
of graft in public works. The state,
tho county and the city have all
been more or less victimized by dis
honest contractors. The Freeman
Tribune, however, is glad to believe
there is nothing of the kind going
on in this county. The people could
protect themselves reasonably well
il they would exercise more care In
the selection of officials. But too
often the electorate is induced to
support candidate because he is a
good fellow" "a good mixer" a
free spender, ETC., though he may
have little to commend him as a
proper person for public position OF
trust, while the man who has the
ability, the honesty and other ele-
ments Of real merit is voted down
because he lacks the knack Of max
ing friends by a hand-shake or OF
wiping support with smile.

"Our Dumb Animals" is urging
all humane people to wage war upon
the steel trap method Of capturing
animals, which it declares is a
"wretched relic of savagy." And it
is right. What agony the poor lit
tie musk rat, the mink or the weas-
ell must suffer when the cruel jaws
of the steel trap snap around the
foot and hold the animal fast until
some cruel man comes to murder
it in it's helplessness, Animals
caught i'm steel traps have been
known to gnaw a leg off in order to
secure liberty. An illustration of
the work of the unspeakably cruel
trap is illustrated as follows: "The
owners Of two dogs had missed the
animals for eight days and had
about given up hope Of ever seeing
them again. Great was their sur
prise, then, to see their pets return
home, but. in such condition as
would have appealed to the sympa-
thies OF any human being. In an
emaciated condition and each with
one Of its hind legs nearly severed
from the body, the poor beasts pre-
scented pitiable appearance. 1t is
assumed that while providing
around, the dogs must have got
caught In some trap from which
they failed to extricate themselves.
Their sad condition was called to
the attention of the agent Of the
humane society, who said 1t was
best to do away with them as they
were beyond any kind Of assist
ance.'

Name them. The Webster City
Freeman says that "the standpat
voter looks mighty good to some pro-
gressive candidates who would not
think of even considering a stand
patter for any appointive ofiice."
Again will the Freeman name the
candidate referred to.-Marion Reg
lister.
The Freeman-Tribune always
likes to answer fair questions when
asked in proper spirit. It had in
mind Congressman Woods Of this
district, Mr.. Woods received prac-
tically the solid standpat vote Of
Hamilton county at the primary
both times he was a candidate, yet
when the question Of postmaster
came up in Webster City and other
towns throughout the county he and
his friends insisted that none but
progressives, and Woods progressives
at that, should be candidates. Yet
they tried to make the people be-
lieve Mr.. Woods would appoint any
one whom the people wanted. The
Freeman-Tribune has no fault to
find with Mr.. Woods for appointing
his friends, but 1t does condemn
him and his friends for undertake
ing to play the public for set Of
chumps. II the people were to
name the postmaster why didn't Mr..
Woods consent to the plan suggest
ed by Candidate RUDE McFerren and
his friends. Mr.. McFerren and his
supporters asked for a primary, In
which all republicans could take
part and record a vote. But Mr..
Woods turned the proposition down
and then pretended to let the people
name the postmaster by letter, he
being the sole judge and arbitrator.
