CUMMINS is THE MAN.

After listening to the men who
are rival candidates for the United
States Senate against Albert B. Cum
Minis, we are constrained to say that
Albert B. Cummins measures up
head and shoulders above his near
est competitors, and at this stage of
the campaign appearances indicate
that he will win by a magnificent
majority.
Cummins is a brilliant man, who,
by his Independent spirit has made
bitter enemies, and just as loyal
friends. He is today the most con-
spicuous leader in the Republican
rarty, and his closest second, in our
judgment is w. S. Kenyon, Iowa
junior Senator, if indeed, he is sec
end.
Both Cummins and Kenyon are
now receiving prominent mention

Automobile Demolishes Buggy.

Sunday afternoon Mrs. Carl Han
son and daughter and the formers
mother, Mrs. Hans Olson, Of this
city, were coming into DEBORAH from
the Peter Haugen farm. When they
reached the Peter Moulding farm
about three miles out big automo-
bile came up behind them. They
turned out to the right to give the
car room to pass, but nevertheless
the automobile crashed into the rear
of the buggy, completely demolish-
ing it, and throwing the ladies out.
The horses were thrown to the
ground, and Mrs. Olson fell under
meath one of them, but fortunately
she and the others escaped practi-
cally unhurt, and it seems like a
miracle that they did. Mrs. Hanson s
little daughter was dug out of the
blankets and robes, which saved her
from injury. We understand the
driver of the automobile lost con-
troll Of it.

An Institute will be held at
Marsh's Hall, DEBORAH, Thursday
and Friday Of November 18th and

ers will be expected to attend, and

teachers their regular salary while
in attendance. A good program has
been planned, and we believe that
a teacher will receive help and in
spiration, and will be in a position
to give better work to her school
because of such attendance. School
officers and patrons are invited to
attend any or all of the sessions.

as possible Republican candidates
for president in 1916. No doubt one
Of the reasons why the oppositions
to Cummins is so fierce this year is
this very prominence he is gaining
as a national figure.
Roosevelt came into Iowa to urge
his defeat; now the big guns of the
Presidents cabinet are turned upon
him, and by this combined effort
of his jealous rivals, it is hoped to
eliminate him as a presidential pos
sibility in 1916. 1t behooves Re-
publican voters TO stand behind Cum
Minis and not be led astray by his
Jealous rivals. Iowa may well be
proud of her two United States Sen
ators, and no state in the union has
a team that for brilliant public SER
vice in behalf of the common people
can take rank with Cummins and
Kenyon. Keep Iowas team in tact.
Get out every Republican vote. Vote
for A. B. Cummins for United States
Senator, and be proud Of it.

Mr.. Hamilton is too changeable.
Last year he was writing letters
against teachers pensions and this
year he asserts he is for them. Last
year he saw no merit in the propo-
sition and was afraid other public
employees would want pensions IL the
teachers were cared for. This year he
IS worrying the schoo! maams to get
their folks to vote for him because
he wants to pension teachers. It's
rather dangerous proposition.
What's to hinder him changing his
mind right away after election?

THE CHRISTMAS SHIP.
Generous Contributions of Presents
And Money Made by Our PeO-
pie for the War
Orphans.

The people of DEBORAH and Win
neshiek county with characteristic
generosity and in the spirit of hui
man brotherhood promptly respond
ed to the pitiful call of the stricken
families of the warning nations OF
Europe. On Friday morning the
committee in charge of the contribu-
tions met at the Mrs. j. G.. Lamm
building on east Water street to re-
ceive and pack the presents for the
Christmas ship, which had been adj
vertised to leave Bush Terminal
Brooklyn, Nov. 10th. All day long
contributions kept arriving and ii
was not till dark that the last pack
age, was received and the boxes fill
ed and sent to the depot to be for
warded by the G.. M. and st. p. rail
road to the American war vessel,
Jason, and carried to Europe for
distribution. The presents, which
were mostly new, consisted chiefly
of clothing of every variety, some OF
which was quite expensive, while
all showed taste and discrimination
on the part of the donors.
1t would be utterly impossible to
say where all these things came
from nor would it serve any good
purpose were we able to do So
Special mention however may be
made of contribution from Mott &
Co. which was rather unique. II
consisted of fifty-four new sweaters,
of different sizes, neatly packed Sc
parately and containing each small
American flag. Henry Loveling OF
Burr Oak who had purchased thirty
caps for which he had received tic
kets to be used in a piano contest,
donated the caps to the Christmas
Ship. It was said that Mr.. Love
ling won the piano. Superintendent

When the dray left the Public

little people showed their enthusi-

much waving of hands for their

the good cause, which will have its
reflex influence on their lives for
years to come. No wonder they
wanted to know if they could not do
it again next year.
