Main Question Not Settled.

At the election Tuesday in Web
ster City and Hamilton county the
secondary questions of the local
campaign were settled. The matter
of who shall represent us in the leg
islature was decided. We know that
the $4,000 tax proposition for q
new county poor house was defeat
ed. Who shall occupy all the coun-
ty and township Offices Is beyond
dispute. How the county stands up
on the principles represented by
Roosevelt, Wilson and Taft was es-
tablished, but the one consuming
topic which has controlled every po-
litical action of our local politicians
from state senator to constable Is
still shrouded in darkness. The vi
tai question is, who shall draw the
salary of postmaster the next four
years."
