veterans of Iowa approve the excel
,snt work done by Senator VIM. s.
Tenvon for them on the floor Of the
rational senate and hundreds of them
I have given him personal assurance
that they will show their appreciation
BY support of themselves and friends
At the June primary.

following letter from the distin-
guished author of the pension bill,
which had the endorsement of the G.

Nv Dear Senator: I have been
boxing for you here to thank you for
The speeches and the good work you
did for my Dollar-a-day Pension Bill.
On behalf of the old soldiers every
where, l desire to tender to you my
most earnest thanks, not only for
YOUR speeches in behalf Of the bill,
but for your work with senator's, who
are Indifferent to the old soldiers
wants.
j If there had been a dozen earnest
and patriotic senators like yourself in
favor of liberal pensions, 1 have
every reason to believe that my bill
would have passed the senate. So
few people really understand, and
less number appreciate the wants of
the old soldier at this time, when he
is reaching a period in his life when
ne is unable to work and needs pen
sion money worse than any time
since the war. When I find man
Of your type and patriotism, I feel it
is my duty, on behalf of my COM
rades everywhere, to show my appre-
ciation.
trust that the old soldiers of Iowa
appreciate what you have done for !
them, and if we fail to get liberal,
bill through at this session Of con-
gress, it certainly will not be any
fault of yours or for want Of earnest
efforts on your part.
Since the bill went into conference
! have received probably about 1000
letters and I have been so busy that
j have not had time before this to
thank our good friends of the senate
for their efforts to get better bill,
and more liberal and just bill than
the one we are liable to get now. !
Very sincerely yours,

SOMETHING WORTH WHILE!

G. L. Dobson, our present county
treasurer, announces himself as a
candidate for another term.
Polk County has never had treas
urer that rendered such satisfactory
service as he has. He is the first
treasurer that has returned to the
county interest on public funds and
since he has been in office he has
collected in interest about $4,000 per
year or $4,000 in four years. @4
He has reorganized his Office work
by installing a modern system OF is
suing receipts and by SO doing he is
saving the county more than $4,000
per year. He also furnishes a per
sonal bond instead Of surety COM
pany bond thereby saving $500 per
year, as the state law requires the
board of supervisors to pay for a
surety bond if one Is furnished He
has stood for clean administration
of all county affairs. The saving he
has made of nearly $1,000 per year
would build many miles of good roads
each year. The voters will see to 1T
that he, is returned to office for an
other term. i H., X y@%
