CAMPAIGNING IN IOWA IN EARLY
DAYS.
Candidates for Office Had Many Diff
cultjes to Overcome.

Political campaigning is sometimes
strenuous business even in these days
of automobiles and parlor cars. But
it is rather tame now compared with
what it was in the early days in Iowa,
when there were no railroads and
when roads were uncertain and the
bridges few. In biography of Jas.
Harlan, written by Mr.. James Brig
ham, state librarian, which has just
been published by the State Histori-
cal Society of Iowa there is the fol-
lowing account of Harlan's campaign
for state superintendent in 1s47:

newspapers, and on the last day of
February Harlan set out from Iowa

first into the southern part of the
state. Hearty hospitality was the
general rule everywhere, but sue

County Detective James Price said:
I'VE will thoroughly investigate this
card and will ask the postal authorities
to help us find the writer. At this time
the postal would appear to have been
written by a fanatic. but we are not
taking any chances.
"We give some credence to the postal
because we have reasoned all along
that a jealous rival probably figured in
the, case. 1t may develop that the in
itials A. N. are assumed and that the
slayer of the girl is really suffering
from q tortured conscience"
