The Wagner post. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1912-current, 1912-05-31

We herewith publish a letter re-
ceived by US in answer to an editorial
published in last weeks issue of The
Post. In justification of that editorial
We point to the weather-vane charac-
ter of the changes in front that Mr..
Lee and his delegation have made.
In January, at Pierre, Mr.. Lee em-
phatically stated that he was in favor
of Bryan, with no second choice. Lat
er he said that il his delegation was
chosen to 60 to Baltimore, Woodrow
Wilson would be their choice. Now, an
the writer of the foregoing letter
states, on May I'd the Lee delegation
stated that they would support Champ
Clark.
There are yet few candidates for
the presidential nomiuation that Mr..
Lee and his delegation have not ex-
pressed q preference for. What assur-
ance have the voters that before the
meeting of the national convention the
attitude Of Lee and his colleagues may
not undergo another change. No one
can give us either the credit or ois-
redit for placing two Champ Clark
tickets in the field. And what is more
logical and sensible than that q voter
who has . preference for Champ Clark
~ his candidate should cast his vote
for the delegation beaded "ChamE
Clark for President" and why shoull
not all supporters of Clark. If they wisl
to obviate the chance of . split in th,
vote of the Clark adherents support
the delegation which would reasonably
be supposed to receive the vote o
the Clark men who are not advises
of the last change of heart undergon,
by Lee.
| As to the assertion contained in th,
letter that voters should support Pa
Wickhem IN bis ''just and upright igh
to defeat Mr.. Johnson, We cite tn
fact that before entering the race TO
governor Mr.. Johnson had repeated as
urance of the support of both Wick
hem and Lee, and Mr.. Wickhem ha
publicly announced through the col
umns of his home paper. that be wonl
not be candidate. We do not deer
it necessary to take any further motto
of the charge that we are "trying I
; divide the party to further selfish in,
erests". than to reiterate our stat<
, ment that in the event of Mr.. Wici
, hem's nomination We shall support hil
- sincerely as We would Mr.. Johnsos
' In our opinion Mr.. johnson 10 th
, better man for the position and y
. hope be will be successful in the pr
> mary and our support Of him 10 q
mere open to the charge Of seeking
Q divide or disrupt the party than 10 "a

CITY NEWS.

The Iowa weather crop bulletin
for the week ending May IL is as fol-
lows: The weather during the first
five days Of the week was ideal for
field work and the growo. .of vegeta-
ton. The average temperature was
above normal, though no unusually
high temperatures prevailed, and the
pl ecipitation was deficient until Fri
day night and Saturday when heavy,
and in many localities. excessive rains
fell: the greatest amounts of rainfall
being reported from the southern and
central counties All vegetation
made rapid growth, and good progress
was made in preparing corn ground.
Considerable corn was planted in near
ly all sections of the state with the
soil generally In fine filth, but the
late rains and the cool weather pre-
vailing at the close of the week will
retard planting for day or two.
Meadows and pastures have made a
decided improvement, and where the
rainfall was heavy. a fair to good
crop Of hay is assured. Oats are be.
ginning to stool nicely and all small
grain is in good condition. Reports
continued to show a deficiency OF
bloom on apple trees, but other fruits
except peaches, give promise of good
yields.

Little Quiet Fun
FROM THE EDITOR
He Forgot That He Had Stomach.

Talking of food, there is probably no profess
sional man subjected to greater, more wear
ing mental strain, than the responsible editor
of a modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties constantly In
good working order, the editor must keep his
physical powers up to the highest rate OF eff
cheney. Nothing will quickly upset the
whole system badly selected food and a
disorfered stomach. 1t therefore follows that
he should have right food, which can be
brain nourshment.
My personal experience in the use OF
Grape-Nuts and Postum writes Philadelphia
editor, so exactly agrees With r5ur advertised
claim as to their merits that any further expo.
sition in that direction would seem to be sup
erfluous. They have benefited me SO much,
however, during the five years that | have
used them, that do not feel justified in with
holding my testimony.

preston implies as to a generous table.

The doctor diagnosed the condition as ca
tarrh of the stomach and prescribed various
medicines, which did ME no good. | finally
threw physics to the dogs gave up tea and
coffee and heavy meat dishes. and adopted
Grape-Nuts and Postum as the chief articles of

II can conscientiously say, and wish to
say ii with all the emphasis possible to the
English language, that they have benefited
me as medicines never did. and more than any
other food that ever came on my table.
My experience is that the Grape-Nuts food
has steadied and strengthened both brain and
nerves to a most positive degree. How it
does it. I cannot say, but l know that after
breakfasting on GrapeNuts food one actually

Chiefly, the meeting has been called

develop something favorable. from a
commercial standpoint, for each OF

low, 1t is sugg ested In the communica-
ton sent out calling for the meeting,
that fiye-city organization, with
Hannibal on the south and Burlington
on the north, and Fort Madison, Keo-
kuk and Quincy in the center, be eff

been tentatively considered by practi-
cally each of the industrial organiza-
tions of each Of the Ave cities men

favorable attitude towards such an
organization has been maintained.

It Is held that each Of the cities,
bound together by satisfactory or
ganization, would be Of much material
benefit to each other, and the assist
ance each could give the other would
be OF more than ordinary interest. II
is pointed out that such an organiza

Scene Of Slight Fire This
Morning.

The residence OF Andrew N. Ma

Escaping gas is said to have been the
cause of the fire.
When the department reached the

out of the windows and the basement
OF the house and 1t was with great
difficulty that the firemen could make
their way about in the cellar. Flames

satisfactory showings.

a prominent musical event for Keo-

Property Owners Interested

Property owners along the canal
road route, along with others. have
more than an ordinary interest in the
proposed plan, and the proper build
ing of the road will, it Is thought,
pave the way ultimately for the troll
ley line that is now a possibility more
than ever and 1t is stated that some
favorable developments may result
among those property owners along
the route that is considered the most
feasible. Road building of proper
kind would be very conducive to troll
ley exploitation and at this time
would be cheaper than If done later
on.
The possibilities and probabilities
of the industrial section of the city
as now planned still shares a con
spicuous place in the thoughts OF Keo
kuls people, along with the proposed
4 trolley line, which is considered as a
very necessary adjunct. Another
feature of the proposed plan which is
not causing the Industrial Association
any worry is the possible cooperation
of steam railways in developing the
district. 1t is readily seen that the
business interests of the railways will
necessitate first class freight facili.
ties and proper steam railway CON
nections will naturally follow.

Much pleased.

The members of the club and its
friends were very much pleased with
the marked interest exhibited last
night by the large attendance at the
annual meeting and the enthusiastic
attention shown IN the excellent pro-
gram presented. The anticipated de-
light to be enjoyed in the promised re-
cital by Mrs. Hillburg and Mr.. Lewis
also gave interest to the meeting. The
club was never more engrossed In it's
work which insures growing strength
and prominence for it as a Keokuk
organization as the months go by.

Parties Along Proposed Route Have
Splendid Opportunity to Ad-
vance With Industrial
Plans.
COUNTRY CLUB WILLING
VIII do Anything In It's Power to Pro
mote the Enterprise and Would
Let Trolley Cross It's
Grounds.

Marked interest In the proposed IN
dustrial district for Keokuk is now
centering In the proposed trolley line
and the possible route it might travel,
should present plans materialize. Ad-
ditional interest has heen added by
the fact that the Country Club has
announced its willingness to cooperate
with the Industrial Association in Sc
curing the line and have gone SO far
as to give permission for a trolley
line across it's lands.
Such route as Is now favored en-
braces trolley line up the canal road
to Prices creek, thence across the
Country Club grounds to the indus
trial section, and thence down Main
street. making complete circuit
which would really mean much more
than line that would connect with
the industrial center and return to
the place Of starting.
