desirable to install a little machine

should be remembered in building Is
the hot-air pipes in the walls in case

tear out and put them in afterward.

FOR CONGRESS IN THE TENTH.

The Tenth congressional district,
'dor many years one of the most con-
spicuous constituencies in the. United
Estates, has dropped into obscurity. 1t
lis as obscure in the halls OF con-
gress as the remotest county in the
everglades of Florida. Once con-
spicuous for the ability with which it
was represented at Washington, it is
unknown only when it's member signs
she salary pay roll. The largest and
one of the rightest and most populous
districts in the United States, it is
entitled to the best talent available
TO represent it at Washington.
The claim is made that Frank P.
Woods has done much, though talk
ed little, that he has been effective
in accomplishing things, and has rem
s:dered some service.
lit is admitted that he has talked
but little. Has he the ability to make
a speech. 1t is humiliating to see his
manager roper to speeches as "hot
air. The most effective force in &C
rcomplishing results in legislative
bodies is ability to speak, to back up
activity on the floor and committee
room by logic and artful eloquence. A
man who is not able to make a speech
has no business in congress. He may
break into Office by gum shoe" meth
DDS, but he cannot perform the func'
.ti0n of congressman.
And what has Frank P. Woods
done in return for the salary he has
drawn? He introduced a bill for the
testing of corn stalks, for manutac
turing of paper, at Boone. After
.slnmbering year it still sleeps. He
introduced bill for public build
ing at Carroll. What has become OF
ut? Still asleep and neglected. Might
mot "hot air. as he calls respectable
speech, have been worth something
in securing hearing?
For what service is Frank P. Woods
entitled to continuance in office? Had
he shown special ability he might
claim another term. But he has had
his second term, and as a mediocre
who has been treated with due meas
x1re of consideration, should give way
ITO someone who can fill the place o.
congressman, and retire with the feel
ing that he has been handsomely
rsreated. Frank P. Woods is not en-
ysitled to more than two terms; he is
out of place and the district shoult
assert itself and choose something
more than mere politician for thu

Attorney General Cosson has writ
ten an opinion in which he takes the
ground that the county convention to
be held after the primary in June has
the power to nominate candidates for
a county office. His opinion is to the
effect that in case of county office
if there have been votes cast for can
didates by writing in names and fall
ure to nominate for any reason, the
county convention will have the right
to fill out the case, whether ten per
cent of the votes of the county were
cast or not. 1t has been contended by
some that unless 10 per cent OF the
votes were thus cast for candidate
the county convention could not act,
but the attorney general holds that
the failure of 10 per cent OF the
votes operates exactly as failure TO
secure IS per cent on state nomlna
ton would operate or in case OF a tie
vote. It follows, therefore, that II
candidates are voted for by writing
in the names the county convention
can do the rest. The opinion OF the
attorney general becomes a direction
for the leaders of the political parties
as to the method of procedure where
candidates failed to file prior to the
primary. It is we'll known that in q
number of counties in the state there
will be vacancies in the ticket because
candidates failed to file in time. AS
long as the attorney general has given
his opinion we presume there is moth
ing else to do but to follow his direc
ton. If there are parties in the coun
ty who desire to become candidates
they should see to it that their friends

mary to make nominations. 1t viii

vention to make nominations for ar

the attorney general this cannot be
done.

What we need in houses is more

houses as I pass along a country road.
Some look very comfortable and home

other kind-bare, neglected-l0okine
places, and uninviting, not because of
cheapness, but because they lack care
and the inspiration born Of refinement.
In town as we'll as in the country,
see both old and new houses that
would not care to enter, just because
the outside appearance is not attrac'
tive. An architect can draw a good
design, and builder can put the
house up in thorough workmanlfke
manner; but, after it is finished and
the family moves in. unless real good
common sense moves with the family,
the neighbors will be inclined to ad-
mire the fine house from a distance.
There is only one right way for
man who is unfamiliar with building
operations, and that is to employ a
man to draw his plans who has spent
years in studying architecture and
making house plans. man who
knows how to take advantage of ma
terials and how to lay out the space
to the best advantage. 1t requires a
great deal of experience just to read
a plan correctly after it is drawn.

The Humboldt Republican had a
statement printed in big letters in its
last issue saying that there was no re-
publican committee in Humboldt that
was behind Congressman Woods and
sending out Woods campaign litera-
ture. The committee that was push
ing this matter was fellow by the
name of Stanhope and Woods him
self. We fail to see any great neces-
sity for making a denial of such a
committee existing. People who are
onto the game of politics as played
in these days know that sometimes
even one person can be committee.
1t seems that the Woods-Stanhope
committee of Humboldt is pretty busy
and everybody is getting their liter
ature. 1t sounds better to have the
word committee attached to litera-
ture, but it fools no one who is onto
the way politics are played these pro-
gressive days. We also notice in con-
nection with Woods campaign that
he quoted from the Carroll Herald in
favor of his candidacy. The extract
quoted is from the Carroll Herald, but
it was written two years ago when
the Herald was so afraid of progress
i've boycott that it supported Woods
when a standpatter ran against him.
This year it is supporting Stillman
and is not afraid to say it's soul is
it's own for Stillman is progressive.
1t makes a big difference how a man
is labelled whether there is any diff
ference in the principles he advocates
or not. Quoting two year old campaign
stuff may be progressive, but it is Ger.
tainly not up-to-date.

complain at his asking for a third
term if he had record for accomplish
ment which justified such demand
If he or his friends can point to any
thing to his credit in the way of Sc
curing anything for the district or can
show in what way he has impressed
himself upon the country, except to
vote with the democrats and against
his own party, there might be some
excuse for his seeking the office again.
In the absence of such a showing it
is time for his giving way to a more
capable man for the place. The Tenth
congressional district of Iowa, prior
to the time Mr.. Woods took his seat
in congress, was accustomed to recog-
milton and had received it's full share
of the money appropriated for post
offices and other public buildings. The
state of Iowa Jared well in these re-
spects. 1t is unfortunate for Mr..
Woods reputation as a congressman
and to the district he represents that
he has none of these things to his
credit His most ardent supporters
are unable to point to single thing
which he has accomplished for his
district or state. The newspapers
throughout the district are showing
him up and pointing to his helpless
ness as a representative of the people.
It is now time a change was made
and some more efficient representative
selected to succeed him.
Hon. Paul E. Stillman, of Jefferson
the candidate against him is such
man. He has to his credit record
of achievement. He has built up and
is conducting one of the best weekly
newspapers in the state. During the
time he was speaker Of the house OF
representatives in Des Moines he ac-
Quilted himself with credit. He had
the ability to command attention and

in a crediable manner. From
moral standpoint, Mr.. Stillman COM
mands the respect of everyone famli-
lar with his life. If Mr.. Woods
friends are disposed to resent the
criticism made against him let them
point out some of the monuments to
his credit since he has been in Wash
ington and we will cheerfully give
them due consideration. He is not
making his campaign this year on his
record, because he has none to COM
mend him, but is making gum shoe"
campaign, fitting from one part OF
the district to another, whispering en-
couragement to his adherents and in
structing them what to do. For a
month or more while drawing from
the government a salary of $625.OO a
month he has been roaming over the
district trying to succeed himself
when he should be at his post OF duty,
at the national capital. We are for
Stillman because this congressional
district is one of the large and i'm
portant districts in the United States
and is entitled to a man OF dignity,
ability and character to represent it.

FRAUD FOR FRANK WOODS.

The Woods campaign managers are
obviously close pressed. They would
not resort to sharp practices and gross
deception if they were confident of
winning by fair means. But decep
ton disclosed in the personnel and
management of the Woods literary
bureau at Humboldt shows a deter
mination to win by foul means if they
cannot by honest campaigning. Any
thing to fool the people into electing
Frank p Woods to congress is the
shibolith of the opposition to Paul L.
Stillman. We are free to say that if
Paul Slillman cannot be elected with
clean hands he does not want the
Office. He stands for honesty and
manhood.
For some time the district has been
flooded with printed matter laudatory
to Frank P. Woods, making extrava-
CANT statements of things he has
done for the district, not one of which
he really accomplished. Why, he has
been placed head and shoulders above
the honored and distinguished men
who have preceded him, by this supri-
GUS "Woods Humboldt County Re-
publican Committee" People have
been deceived by the literature sent
out by this spurious committee as
the dishonest management has posed
as the regular republican committee
of that county.
The following article has appeared
in the Humboldt County Republican:
"The Frank P. Woods campaign
headquarters in Humboldt that is
mailing campaign literature under the
head of the Woods Humboldt County
Republican Committee has no con-
nection with the Humboldt County
Republican Central committee nor any
other committee of Humboldt county
republicans. The only persons con-
nected with the headquarters are D.
l. Stankope and Congressman Woods" "
Note the statement, that this man
Sranhope and Frank P. Woods, the
beneficiary of the deception and
fraud are the COMMITTEE" The at
tempt to do business in the name OF
the regular committee, to deceive the
people and induce them to vote for
Woods, by false representations, is
rank dishonesty. 1t is cheap dirty
politics, wilIul misrepresentation, an
effort to get something by crooked,
INSCRIPTIONS scheme.
Is a man who would try to steal
the support of the honest republicans
of the tenth district fit to represent
us in congress? Would you vote for
a man for even a local Office who
would try to get your vote by rank
deception? Would you trust such a
man out of sight? In view of the
fraud in Humboldt county are you
going to vote for Frank P. Woods
against honest Paul Stillman, actual
ly support man, who has been
caught in the act of trying to de-
ceive you and rob you of your vote?
Not in a thousand years!-Carroll
