We see by the Leon Reporter that
V. R. McGinnis of Leon is likely to
be chairman of the next democratic
state convention. The Reporter says
he is one of the best public speakers
in Iowa. His democracy is simon
pure, Is Karat, all wool and a yard
wide, warranted not to rip, ravel or
rundown at the heel. Hurrah for
McGinnis. If he is that kind of a
chap, the Democrat is for him and by
his name, we would take it that he is
from Ireland, Bedad, right out of
Democrat.

This is how one publisher appeals
to the readers of his paper to get
them to send in their items of news:
1T is a courtesy to your guests to
see that their names appear in the
local newspaper. It is due to your
friends and yourself that when visit
ing, their names would appear in the
paper. Someone in the family
should inform the paper of sickness
in the home. Remember that the
newspaper is made of human hands
and brains, and if the item concern
ing yourself or your friends does not
appear, it is largely your fault.
