FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVANT.

Among the real workers in Con-
gress no one is more faithfully on
duty, and no one is guarding the
welfare of the people more jealous
ly than our own Congressman, Hon.
Gilbert n. Haugen. He is now rec
ognized as one of the very strong
men of the House, and is possessed
of the hard-headed sense that makes
a Congressman valuable represen-
Etative of the people.
! 1t is very conspicuous fact that
Haugen has remained at his post In
! Washington throughout long, hot
summer. and up until last Saturday.
when Congress adjourned, not with
standing the fact that his rival has
been making strenuous campaign
over the Fourth District, he has re-
NAMED on duty in Washington, act
ing for the people, supporting
President Wilson when his measures
were in the interest of the people,
just as readily as if they had been
proposed by Republicans, protesting
against such measures when Haugep
deemed them detrimental. ~
Haugen has been firm, consis-
tent, sensible public servant. Never
attempting any grand-stand perfor-
mances, but diligent in behalf of his
constituents. N the Chicago Tri-
bune of Monday of this week appears
this article under big headlines,
"CONGRESSMEN SHY AT PLEDGES:
OPPOSE PORK. Then follows an
article by Arthur Sears Henning con-
corning certain pledge which was
put up to the congressman to sign.
which pledge committed the Con-
sressmen to oppose pork barrel
legislation, and to support budget
system of discrimination and scien-
tific appropriations of the public
funds. The Tribune says: Con
gresham Haugen, senior member of
the Iowa delegation subscribed his
name heartily" He was in fact one
OF the first three men who had the
courage to sign this pledge.
In view OF the fact that news dis
catches from Washington say that
as soon as the next Congress con-
venes in December a renewed effort
by the Democratic House will be
made to pass a Pork Barrel'' Bill
similar to the one just recently de-
ieated, this action of Congressman
f4augen's has much added signifi-
cance. We believe the Fourth Dis
trsct, and particularly Winneshiek
County. will give Hon. G. N. Haug-
EN-, larger majority than it did six
Years ago, VOTE FOR G.. ".

member that it was George Mize-
|ner's race for a second term when a
brother of the present sheriff made
one of the fiercest fights to beat
George for his second term that has
ever been made In this county.
AS the people learn more of the
man, Ellingson, the more one hears
that he is being picked for winner.
The Republican ticket can be elect

candidates are all good men, deserv-
ing of respect in private life, and
worthy of the support of every Re-
publican for the Offices they seek. y

AN ANALYSIS OF THE DEMOCRATIC POSITION
IN THE PRESENT CAMPAIGN

The Democrats at the opening o
the present campaign started out Il
make a campaign for United States
Senator in Iowa, upon just one slim
issue, viz: Connolly supporters anC
Connolly himself asked to be con
sidered only because he "stood by
the President, then he plead with
voters, stand by me- Upon this
one issue he attempted a campaign
but it proved a boomerang" Peo-
pie are saying, "Is this all that
Maurice Connolly has to recommend
him for our consideration and sup
porto
! E"If Connolly has no opinion. no
voice, no platform only Il have
stood by the President: now stand
by me-" 1--WE are wondering who has
stood by the President while Maur-
ice Connolly has spent most of his
time away from Washington work
ing politics in Iowa. So Connolly's
appeal being based upon so thin and
childish a basis is falling on deaf
ears, because people see that there
is no real merit in it. why doesn't
he tell US what he has done as leg
islator, or attempted to do? Why
doesn't he tell what prospective laws
he will favor? Has he no mind, ex-
cept to be an echo of President Will
S M" is the questions the voters are
asking.
Then take the position of John
| r. Hamilton their candidate for gov
ernor. He set out to make Capitol
Extension" his issue. But this too,
has proved a boomerang" for 1t
has been conclusively shown that
the Democrats themselves pushed
the bill for Capitol Extension"
through the Committee of the House
through the House, and through the
Senate. 1t would have been killed
in the House but for Democratic
votes, so Hamilton's one-issue-cam-
paign has fallen fiat.
| In the Senatorial contest against
Hon. L. NJ. Enger. the one issue was
'Enger was absent when the vote on
"Capitol Extension" was taken. +"
Since their attack on Enger for alb
sence was made, it has been con-
clusvely shown that Democratic
votes passed the Bill in the House,
| bs SuNh u lhtbl ONCh II
ger had been present and voting
''No'' On the Passage of the Hill it
still would have had "A majority in
fitfs favor. hence his absence meant
nothing, so far as this bill was con-
cerned, unless It meant vote.
This. and the record of Maurice
Connoily's absenoe from drties at
Washington, totall'ng over ten
weeks, and ov one hundred and
twenty-five roll calls when votes
were being cast upon important pub
lie measures, has caused a complete
| col'arse of their campa gn against
Enger for Senator
For Representative we find no
pubic issue made against II. p.
Nicholson. for there can be none
made against him. He Is immune
from attack. However, We are told
that his opponent and friends, have
been undertaking to mislead voters
by privately buttonholing them and
insinuating that Fl. p. Nicholson
was connected with the buying of
the voting machines.
We can say here and now, that
II. p. Nicholson had no more to do
with purchasing Voting Machines
than did the man in the moon. RI.
