A campaign is being brought to a
close in Lee county and Keokuk which
in some respects has been the quietest
campaign ever experienced in this
particular section Of the state. In an
other way, beneath the surface Of the
supposed calm, has been raging a
familiar with politics in its many
angles, have been permitted to view.
Marching Club Day Over.
The day OF the marching club, the
brass bands, the rallies with Roman
candles and red fire is past. In their
places has come the systematic, bust
ness like campaign. where oratory
cuts but little figure, while worth is
counted at par. The little cards bear
| ing the voters name, and picture per-
haps, serves as the personal touch be-
tween voter and candidate much as
the business card Goes between bust
ness men, while the newspapers are
being employed in extensive fashion
to reach the masses of the people.
| So, while this campaign has pre-
scented minimum OF fuss, it has pro-
duced maximum of work and re-
suits. The candidates have been busy
! in one way Or another since the prI-
| mary. In some OF the townships there
has been a battle royal waged, which
would delight the hearts Of the most
seasoned politician OF the days Of the
wideawakes. Issues have been chal-
/, lenged, and statements have been is
sued. No matter how quiet ths, ex-
terror of this campaign may have APP
tpeared, rest assured .that on the in
lence.

belief that the democrats are respon-
sible for conditions despite. the at
tempt TO hide behind tbs. European
! war, is becoming more apparent. those
who are in position to know assert.
The relief for such conditions will be
the voting of the republican ticket.
and the outlook for republican sue
cess is extremely favorable.
This state of affairs, generally,
coupled with the fact that the repub-
lican ticket is a well balanced one,
and one of the best in years makes
success throughout the country loom
up in vivid fashion, on the eve of the
day OF election.
