OUR CITY PRIMARIES.

On next Monday the voters Of
Iowa will be called upon to express
their choice as to candidates on the
various places to be filed upon the
ticket at this coming November elec-
tion and it behooves every voter to
60 to the polls and express their pref
erence as to the various candidates
who are soliciting your support.
The Iowa State Bystander has from
time to time published a list of candi-
dates upon the republican ticket who
are soliciting your support for nomi-
nation and are running such list
again this week We are asking our
colored voters to read this list over
and make your selection from those
who have been broad enough and will
ing to give your race paper their an
nouncement cards and write-ups.
Feeling that those who do not care to
give colored newspapers their part Of
the announcement are not soliciting
the least of your support and per-
haps do not care much about your
vote While we have run large
number of candidates and have solic-
tied from all our candidates in the
county, we feel it no more than just
that the names who do not appear in
this list would not advertise with us
and did with the other newspapers,
so when you 60 to the polls Monday
remember this list and make your se-
lection from those whose names are
published in The Bystanderr. 4

Born in Polk county, Iowa, April
10, 1867.
Has held many positions of trust.
Has been associated in some form
or another with the industrial or bus
mess life of the city for years, and
his record is known to everyone.
He is president of Confidence lodge,
No. 1O2, Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Engineers.
The business that passes through
the court of Polk county is enormous.
That the affairs of such moment
should be kept close track Of, and the
records be made accurate to the min
utest detail is a thing which every
voter will not only concede without
argument, but in which he is vitality
interested. ,~...l
The accuracy of the records is
largely dependent upon the ability of
one man, the clerk of the district
court, II he is competent and pains
taking, all Is we'll; if not, chaos soon
reigns and the legal affairs of the
county are soon in a muddle.
Mr.. Fred L. Barnett is highly quail
flied and experienced to be clerk Of
the district court of Polk county.
He is true friend of the colored
people and merits their undivided
support. His many friends solicit
your vote for him Monday.

way of distributing something of

that is so generous, so fair to the
people who work for them that
every one of them becomes last

nected He is broad-minded, clean

with his giving that he is known as
one of the supporters Of dozens of
worthy causes in this city. He is a
republican who believes in the party.
He is worker for friends. No
friend ever found him wanting. No
friend ever knew him to betray a
confidence. A committee working
in his behalf has found that the
business men want him in the leg
islature because they know he will
urge business methods and sane
laws. If we had more of his kind
in the Iowat legislature it would be
better for state, city and country,
alike. Vote for him. He is worthy
of your support. T.

Peel has been a party worker for

Peel stands high wherever he is

citizens in Lee township, and from
the list of friends which he enjoys,
