THE COUNTY TICKET.


A strong republican county ticket
has been in the field for the important
election which comes in two weeks.
Every man on the ticket Is repre-
sentative citizen deserving OF support.
The candidates for representative IN
the legislature, w. W. Epps and Frank
shane. are eminently qualified to rep
resent the county in the state law
making body. In addition to this
there is the necessity of electing q
republican legislature as the next leg
islature will elect United states
senator and Senator Kenyon must be
reelected. The recent death OF Sena-
tor Hepburn has cut down the republi-
can majority in the United States SEN
ate down to narrow margin. The
Iowa voter this fall may cast the de-
Gliding vote that will say whether the
United States senate shall be repuDl1-
can or democratic.
Albert Bluhm for auditor, A. A.
Lewis for treasurer, ]. c. Poulton for
recorder, Frank T. Lynch for clerk,
H. w. Michael for sheriff, w. A. Work
for attorney, Joseph Parks for school
superintendent. DR.. E. A. Sheafe for
coroner and c. e. Norton and G. l..
Nye for supervisors are all able men
and good citizens. They are all de-
serving of the solid republican vote
and the vote of all citizens who want
a business administration of the coun-
TVS affairs

VOTERS WILL REMEMBER.

=
In an article on weighing Presi-
Dental Possibilities" In the National
Magazine for October, Joe Mitchell
Chapel says:
Voters will remember the smokeless
chimneys, the soup-honses. the gaunt
faces and the wild and pathetic cry for
work everywhere in '93, when change
was made in the fiscal and administra-
tive policy of the nation. There Is
time and tide in the affairs OF every
voter when he soberly realizes the
responsibility that rests upon him IN
protecting not only his own family and
Individual interest, but the sources
from which he must seek and earn q
livelihood. His own horizon OF OPP
portunity is considered.
The American people are not super
fetal. They realize today the absolute
necessity of protective tariff IN or.
der to maintain the American standard
Of living. This is the specific tarih
policy Of the republican party at this
time, and it is inconceivable that q
party so clearly and definitely repre-
senting tariff policy that holds IN

Mr. Kirkpatrick is certainly imposing
on the democrats of the sixth congress
sional district of Iowa, by leaving his
family and home and coming all the
way from North Carolina to get in the
congressional primary race to beat out
of the nomination a democrat who
really does live in this district. He
knew he was not resident of Iowa
when he entered that race. Why did
he do It?
This is not his home and under the
constitution Of the United States he
could not legally take his seat If cleo
ted. His acquaintances in Green's
bcro, N. c., could not believe the state
ment that Kirkpatrick was trying to be
a candidate for congress In Iowa. They
know he mas no right to be a candi-
date in this district because he Is not
an inhabitant Of Iowa.

LABOR CONDITIONS IN 1894.

The Courier calls attention to the
following article taken from it's files.
And what is here set forth is not
politics but history. It shows what
happened before when reckless tariff
Hesitation was enacted, and what can
happen again If Wilson or Roosevelt
are permitted to enact their tariff
theories into law.
The Courier Of January 10, 1894, con-
tained the following:
cat 9 O'Clock this morning the regis
ter at the city hall showed the names
Of 10 men. Most of these were mar
ried and had from three to eight peo-
pie dependent upon them. and the time
that they had been out Of work varied
from one to twelve months. Among
them were mechanics Of all kinds,
and the majority had resided In this
city upward of FIVE years. Nineteen of
them were marched to the foot of
Marion street, where there is pile of
200 perch OF rock that the breaking Of
which will give twenty men work for
ten days at about 81 day"
At the council meeting the following
Monday night the mayor, as chairman
Of the relief committee, reported that
295 people. representing about eighty
families, had been given assistance,
also that about one-third of those who
had registered at the city hall had
been given some work. The street
commissioners was instructed that "all
work done this winter be done as the
work OF breaking rock Is done, turn
about. / e., that one gang work today,
another tomorrow, and 80 on. thus Civ
ing all chance"
Even this, on account of the in
creased number applying for work,
had to be cut to eight hours q day at
10 cents per hour.

D,sARM THE GuNMEN.

1.-THE gunner of America must be
disarmed," says the Minneapolis Jour
nal in commenting on the attack made
on Col. Roosevelt. "The great blot on
American civilization, it's unexampled
number Of homicides, is due to the
revolver. We are half-civilized ma
ton when 1t comes to this. 1t is true
that conditions Of frontier life In other
days made it necessary for every man
to have his gun handy But frontier
times are gone. We have given up
our other frontier habits. Why cling
to this one?
"The duties of protecting life and
property that cnce devolved on the
private citizen have been transferred
to the police. They go armed for us.

Mr.. TAFT's "MisTAkEs."'

The Rochester Post-Express says
that we hear and read much these days
about the mistakes and errors Of Presi.
dent Taft. 1t makes this comment:
President Taft made one mistake
when he failed to establish q press
bureau to constantly pour forth q
stream Of panegyric.
Another mistake was not to have
a kodak corps to picture his every
movement from the rising of the sun
until the going down Of the same.
Another mistake was not to pose
as the first and ultimate authority upon
things celestial and terrestrial since
creations dawn"

AS the campaign advances nearer
election day, the voters Of the sixth
congressional district are becoming
more and more convinced that Milton
A. McCord OF Newton is the right
man to support for the office Of con.
gresham. Mr.. McCord is a pioneer re-
publican. whose life has been spent In
the sixth district almost entirely, ex-
cept for the period that he served his
country in the war OF the rebellion
Mr. McCord is business man and a
farmer. He combines good business
judgment with a knowledge Of the
needs of his district, and he should be
elected to represent the sixth district
in congress by a large majority.
Vote for Milton McCord for congress
on November 5.
