tendants at the Almshouse have been
able to extract piecemeal from Mile
Draga, the foreigner found uncon-
scious by the roadside early Saturday
morning.
Draga was found by Herman Hand
shaw, a farmer, and taken to the
poorhouse. Investigation showed that
he had been struck by some blunt
instrument; the injury bore all the
earmarks of a sandbag blow. On his
person was $3.12, and it is believed
that while he was attacked for the
purpose Of robbery. his assailants
were frightened away. Draga told the
authorities at the Almshouse that
three negroes had attacked him. He
is still at the Almshouse pending fur
them examination.
Handsham this morning said he re-
membered having been followed by
three negroes himself just before he
came upon Draga. He feared an at
tempt was to have been made upon
him and it was then he remembered
a pocket-piece, relic of the Spanish
American War. This was a long, thin
rak-Jorgensen cartridge. Mr.. Hand
shaw drew this, curled his finger about
one and held it in such way as to
give the impression of an automatic
revolver. He thinks his bluff worked,
as the men skunk away.

MERIT REPUBLICAN SUPPORT.

Winneshiek County is normally a
Republican county. No Candidate
on the Democratic ticket can be
elected to an Office except by the
support of large number of Re-
publican voters. Unless the condi-
tons are Unusual there is no reason
why Republicans should not vote
Republican when the candidates are
of substantially equal merit. This
fall the candidates upon the Repcb-
lican County and State Ticket are
good, well-Qualified men for the Of
fees they seek. They merit Repub-
lican support; they can all be elect
ed with not a single Democratic
vote. Why should Republicans be
expected to help elect their Demo-
cratic riya's? Particularly, why
should Democrats expect Republican
voters TO help their Democratic tam
.didates to he elected, after the villi-
flying campaign that the Democratic
Press Bureau is making against Re-
publican candidates in Iowa? Be
cause man, or set of men become
active in political matters, should
he or they lose all sense of decency
toward their fellow-men? Should
they throw honesty and truthfulness
to the winds merely for a possible
temporary advantage Of few votes.
Our belief is that the sense of fair
play is so strong among voters that
all such tactics as the Democrats
and their Press Bureau are resort
ing to in order to arouse perjudice,
and to mislead voters, viii be strong
ly and properly rebuked at the polls.
We have refrained from max ng
public the weaknesses of some of
their candidates, EecaGse tempor-
airy political ADVANTAGE is not sufii-
c.en to ,arrant wronging a fellow
man, cr seemingly wronging him.

TIE COUNTY TICKET.

There is every reason why repuD-
licans should make a united effort
to elect their county ticket this fall.
Those who believe in the principles
of government advocated by the re-
publican party can best help to re-
store those principles to power by
giving loyal and whole hearted sup
port to the local candidates of the
party. The party strength can only
be recruited by beginning at the
bottom and building the foundations
stronger. United and harmonious
support of our county candidates
will result in their election and the
strengthening of the PARTY for the
great struggle two years hence. The
county ticket is made up CT clean,
worthy and competent men. They
sta nd for republican principles and
are entitled to the support of al
who believe in these principles.

The Democratic papers of this
Senatorial District are making a
great ado about Representative En-
ger having been absent from the
halls of the Legislature On two or
three different days during the last
session of the General Assembly, as
though being absent were an unus-

These same rarers contain news
items and announcements of the
appearance OF Congressman Maurice
Connolly at various places in Iowa
from early in March up to the pres
ent time, even though the United
States Congress has been in contin-
uous session since last December.
! The Congressional Record win
show that Congressman Connolly
has been absent when vote has
measures ONE HUNDRED AND
TWENTY-FIVE TINES since last
December.
How can these papers consistently
charge Enger with neglect Of public
duties when they condone Maurice
Connolly's prolonged absence from
duties in Congress?
1t might be we'll to remind voters
in this connection that our own
Congressman, Hon. G.. N. Haugen,
who is candidate for reelection
this year, has remained faithfully
at his post of duty during a long
drawn out session of Congress ever
since last December, while Maurice
Connolly has been spending a large
part OF his time away from his du-
ties at Washington. and working
