Vote of Every Man Who Claims
To Be Republican.

other matters of public interest. 1t
has never been on both sides of a

bitter campaign in DEBORAH for the
things it believed to be right, and
this in a measure has contributed to
its success in the newspaper field
1t is not a wishy-washy newspaper.
In this most peculiar campaign in
Public Opinion stands for the repub-
lican party and it's ticket, from top
to bottom. We believe that Presi-
dent Taft was fairly and honestly
nominated at the Chicago convention,
which the editor attended, and that
he was the choice of large majority
of the republican party. We believe
that most of the so-called Roosevelt
contests were absolutely without
merit or worthy of consideration, and
that they were planned as part Of
a scheme of Roosevelt and his fol-
lowers to make it appear that he was
the peoples choice. We believe that
fiuence than to assist the democratic
party in electing Wilson, by detract-
ing votes from the republican party.
We believe that President Taft is one
of the most conscientiously honest,
fearless, high minded, progressive
statesmen in American politics, and
has made one of the best presidents
the United States has ever had.
That as result of his administra-
tiOn we are in the highest state of
prosperity we have ever known; that
every man who wants a job can get
it, at higher wage than any Ameri-
can ever received before; that every
factory, every railroad, every work
shop, every business as class is
doing the biggest business in it's his
tory; that every product of the farm
is staggering in it's immensely and
brings the biggest price it ever
brought. That we are at peace with
the world, that the trusts are being.
regulated and controlled as never
before; that happiness and prosperity
walks hand in hand from one end of
this great nation to another, and
that we owe this more to President
Taft than to any other human being;
that not to re-elect him president
will be written in future history as
the great mistake of the American
people; that in no other way can we
preserve our present high state of
material and business prosperity.
We want to see Senator w. S. Ken
yon elected to the United States
Senate. The only way the people of
this county can contribute to his
election is to vote for l.. NJ. Enger,
candidate for representative. Sen
ator Kenyon has already made his
worth known by his distinguished
services in the Senate. He is able,
fearless and energetic, natural
leader whom Iowa needs in Wash
ington
The republicans of Iowa owe it to
George w. Clarke to elect him gov
ernor. They nominated him in the
primary and he is just as good man
now as then. AS Lieutenant-Gover-
nor he has been universally recog-
nized over the state as one of the
best informed and fairest minded
men in Iowa. His long experience in
legislative and executive matters
makes him the logical man for the
place. The republicans of Winnie
shiek county are for Clarke and he
will get practically the entire voting
strength of the party, as he deserves.
IL ought not to be necessary for
us to urge republicans in this county
to vote for Congressman Gilbert N.
Haugen. He is so well known here
and has done so much for the agri-
cultural interests of this county that
he ought to get the vote Of every
republican. AS the leader of the
fight against the oleomargarine in
terests he is entitled to the vote of
every business man as well as every
farmer. His distinguished services in
Washington, his record of carefully
attending to every detail OF his con-
stituents' interests, will continue the
confidence placed in him by the peo-
pie of the district, and assure him OF
reelection. Vote for Haugen.
We also take much pride in pre-
senting such man as William j..
Springer as our candidate for Judge
of the District Court, to succeed the
late lamented Judge Fellows. In
all that goes to make judge, he is
eminently qualified. Long expert
ence in the practice of the law in one
of the most prominent firms in north
ern Iowa, careful, conservative,
judicial mind, a man OF wide range
