HON. B. P. HARRISON
PARTY 00MINEE
Continued from page l J

the party will poll one and one-hal1
million votes, but few of these will
come from Mississippi.
Should Pat Harrison make equally
as good a record in his second term
as congressman as he has during
the first term, the people of Missis-
sippi will demand of him that he
accept higher political position. His
interests in those things that mate
rally affect his district have been
such that he has seen to it that
nothing escaped. The large appro-
priation that the Port of Pascagoula
has requested, which was delayed
during the present congress because
of the unusual flood in the Missis-
sippi valley, will be granted at the
next sitting, and Pat Harrlson's
work will have told. Besides OBJ
tanning the desired appropriation for
the port, Pat Harrison is fighting for
river appropriations that feed the
port, and these projects are just as
serious to him as any other matter
that has been suggested.
Although the socialists will have
a candidate in the field in Novem-
Der, the democrats of the sixth dis
triCt will return Pat Harrison to con-
greSs with the usual majority.

A Ships Speed.

A ships speed is reckoncd by knots.
a knot being Il geographical mile or
one-sixtieth OF a degree. Six geGgrapb
ical miles are about equal to seven
statute miles. and a ship that sails
twelve knots therefore is really moving
at the rate of fourteen statute miles an
hour. 1t should be remembered that 1t
is incorrect TO say SO many knots an
hour" simply so many knots, for q
knot means zone mile an hour"

Was Not Correctly Reported.

Last weeks issue of the Republican
contained news item relative to an
accident that occurred at school house
near Extra. The young child was sup
posed to have received an injury while
at play and we printed the news item
as reported to us at that time. Yester-
day we received the following CON-
munication which is self explanatory:
I'm last weeks issue appeared an ac-
count of Laurence Petersen's little SON 8
accident occurring at school. The
writer stated that the so called play
mate shot tack into the pupil of the
eye which Immediately caused a cata-
ract and the removal of that eye. The
tack being shot with bean shooter.
I wish to contradict that statement as
the piece of tack flung from the end of
a little spring struck above the eye
brow fully an inch above the eye, which
is hardly conductive to causing cata.
ract Of fully years growth.

Howard E. Kittell for Treasurer.

Howard Kittell who was elected to
the county treasurer's Office two years
ago by such splendid maj rity is out
in an announcement in this weeks issue
Of the Republican asking for a second
tern. This is customary everywhere
and he is only asking such courtesies as
have been extended to his predecessors.
He has made the county most excel
lent official and he and his friends be-
lieve that during this time he has made
such record that he is justified in ask
ing for the second nomination. He has
faithfully performed all the duties of
his Office and has done it in manner
that has won warm friends for him in
all sections of Audubon county.
Mr.. Kittell is one of the most compe-
tent county officials holding Office in
the state of Iowa and the Republican
party is justly proud Of the record he
has made in the past. He will have no
opposition at the primary for the nomi-
nation and many are OF the opinion
that he will have little opposition at the
polls. in November

Of the tax payers very carefully and

Geo. ncNary for Sheriff.

Elsewhere in this issue of the paper
will be found the announcement Of
Geo. McNary as candidate for the
nomination of sheriff on the Republi-

his family to Audubon to give them the
advantages Of our excellent public

fore the Republican voters with clean
hands and asks their hearty support at
the polls at the primary to be held in
June. Any words of encouragement in
his behalf will be greatly appreciated
by him.

Col. R. N. Carper Married Thursday.

Thursday evening March 2Sth at the
Presbyterian parsonage at Algona, Iowa,
occurred the marriage of Col. R. N.
Carper, of this city and Mildred Kate
Richards, of Algona, After a few days
visit with Mr.. and Mrs. F. T.. Littell of
Algona and with friends in Minnesota,
the bride and groom will return to Au-
dubon for short stay before going to
their new home in South Dakota.
They tell us that the Col. worried q
little when he called for marriage
license and had to be identified. He knew
Mr.. Littell but the county clerk told
Mr.. Carper that Mr.. Littell was out of
the city, and of course he would have
TO wait until he returned before he
could issue the marriage license. The
clerk who happened to be an affable
sort of fellow asked MIR. Carper if he
didn't know Mrs. Littell and he said he
did. So Mrs. Littell was reached by
telephone and the license was issued as
soon as she reached the court house.
When the necessary papers were secur-
ed Col. Carper left the court house
happy and contented and somewhat
relieved.
Mr.. Carper is widely known in Audi
bon county and his friends are legion
who will wish him all manner ofsuccess
and Joy that knows no bounds.

Politics in Audubon county is begin
ming to take form. A few weeks ago
this paper was authorized to an
nounce that Mr.. o. H. Jacobsen, of
Kimballton, would be candidate for
denomination on the Republican tick
ct for Representative. His announce
ment has met with favor and this
week We publish his announcement
over his own signature. Mr.. Jacob
sen represented Audubon county in
the last session of the state legisla-
ture, and he, with his large circle of
friends, claim that a good record was
made. A record that the party can
well feel proud of. He comes be-
fore the Republican voters at this time
to ask for denomination at the June
primaries. This paper has every
reason to believe that Mr.. Jacobsen
will receive the nomination without
opposition in his own party. Only
twenty days remain for the filing of
nomination papers with the secretary
70 the state, and so far no opposition
has appeared.

Many Cuesses Were Made.

A large number of guesses were made
on the large loaf of bread in the show
window at Oelke's store last week
There was great variety of guesses.
the lowest being three and half
pounds while the highest guess was
thirty pounds. At four O'Clock, r. G.
Spencer and H. J. Hoogenakker were
asked to weigh the loaf and the scales
tipped the beam at eleven pounds and
two ounces. NJ. J. Wagey guessed the
correct weight and H. A. Bates was u
close second with one ounce higher.
The guessing contest was in the nature
of an advertisement for the famous
mallable ranges sold by the Oelke Co.
They had demonstration here for several
days and the loaf of bread on display
was baked in one of these stoves. 1t
was clever arrangement and was a
good advertisement for this popular
hardware and implement store.

Gently done some splendid work for
their patrons. The Drovers Journal of
last week contained an interesting news
item of sales made by this firm which
reads as follows:
'One load of prime steers was at hand.
They were fed by r. w. Corwip of
Rock Valley, Iowa, and sold to Doud &
Keefer for S. s. Learnard of Boston at
$3.50. The price was 15c higher than
previous top this week. but still sc be-
low high point week ago, and the
class these steers carried was claimed
to be better than anything here earlier
this week. They were pure bred Short
horns, which had been we'll fed since
weaving time, but the owner claimed
he had never given them a ration
which the ordinary beef maker calls
heavy feed" Every animal carried
horns and stood as picture of near
perfection.
Next highest price was IS. Is and
few other steers sold at 50. 90 and 50. 10,
but there was scant picking in choice
weighty steers. Cattle sold at $50
which got 15c less late Wednesday,
and the same difference between selling
price today and bid late Wednesday
was shown in drove that went at
$7.45."

The Boy Scouts.

Two of the Boy Scouts have passed
the tests and are ready for the Tender
foot Badge. The attendance continues
good and interest is increasing. The
business meetings are fast becoming
models of decorum. The boys attend
strictly to business from seven until
eight. Some of these boys make fine
presiding officers and conduct their af.
fairs with adignity that would DO honor
to group Of men.

l2xl2 and we'll made. This mat was
largely the work of the High School
Club but is the common property of
the hall. Electric lights were put in
in the hall and are great improvement
over lanterns. Basket ball by lantern
light is not satisfactory.
The Boy Scouts are learning the
names of the trees and number of each
kind in the park this week.

Opposition to Third Term.

The American people are irrevoca-
bly, opposed to third term of the
presidency. Our forefathers who
drafted the Constitution of this gov
eminent were strongly in favor of
limiting the presidency to one term,
but the matter, however, was finally
compromised by making the term for
four years without limiting the occu-
pant of the Office to single term
No one better than Washington
knew the sentiments of those who
framed our Constitution. Some time
before the expiration of his first term
as President he wrote letter to
Madison requesting him to prepare a
proclamation to the people to the eff
feet that he would not accept Sc
cond term. The final form of the proc
lamation as accepted by Washington
contained the following paragraph:
May be allowed further to add,
as consideration far more import
ant, that an early example of rota-
ton in Office of so high and delicate
nature may equally accord with the
republican spirit of our Constitution
and the ideas of liberty and safety
entertained by the people"
This proclamation was never made
public because it was believed it
would be necessary to keep a man
like Washington in Office for a second
term. Since Washington's time, how
ever it has been the custom for the
party in power to renominate the
president for second term, where he
has given the country clean admin
istration, but never for third term.
No man. who has ever been presi-
dent has violated the precedent es-
tablished by Washington by seeking to
be president three times, until Colonel
Roosevelt threw "his hat in the ring"
In 1880 the friends of General Grant
made an attempt to have him nomi-
mated third time, after he. like Col
onel Roosevelt, had been out of Office
for four years, but the precedent es-
tablished by Washington had become
the unwritten law and the people Of
this country would not stand for it,
Notwithstanding the fact that General
Grant was at that time unquestiona-
bly, the most popular and most below
ed man in the whole United States.
