ASKING FOR SUPPORT

The Republicans of Audubon coun-
ty have put into the field this year,
ticket that is the pride of every
member who claims affiliation with
that political party. The men who
have been placed on the ticket were
asked to make the race There was
no contest for nominations and it can
truthfully be said that 1.-The office
hunted the man" instead of 1.-The
man hunting the Office The various
candidates have been out meeting the
voters and they find hundreds of men
who are going to support them
Whether or not enough voters will
rally to their support to land them
in Office, remains to be seen, but all
indications are that the court house
next year will contain some Repub-
lican Office holders.
The Office of county auditor is the
only one new men are seeking to fill
as the candidates for all other county
Offices are running fora second term.
There are a great number of voters
who firmly believe this Office should
be filled by a Republican since the
Democrats have held this Office four
years in succession.
The candidate on the Republican
ticket for auditor is VIM. j. Ham
ilton. He is a young man who has
the confidence of the people and one
who is exceptionally well qualified to
fill this important position.
Billy as he is Familiarity known,
is at the present time proprietor of
the Booster Cafe. He has been in
Audubon so long, has held so many
positions of trust, and filled them so
creditably that is seems entirely I'M
necessary for us to even mention
these facts. He was right hand man
for Hans Albertsen in his grocery
store several years Here he made
many lasting friends. Since leaving
Mr.. Albertsen, he has been engaged
in business for himself.
Mr.. Hamilton is not a selfish sort
of fellow. While he likes to help
himself and better his own condition
he does not neglect to help others.
In 1898 when trouble between the
/. United States and Spain came to a
climax and Uncle Sam wanted men
to cary the stars and stripes and to
defend them, Mr. Hamilton was
among the first to VOLUNTEER his SER
vices to the government. He entered
the service and was sent to the Phil
ippine Islands, where he remained
until the trouble Between the two
countries was peacably settled
He had his picture taken in his un.
iform just before he was honorably
discharged, and we prevailed upon
him to allow us to have cut made
from it. "Billy" is rather modest
oh -.
we insisted. and so he finally agreed
to let us have cut made, provided
we did not say very much about him

county well enough to know they APP,

THE POLITICAL SITUATION
IN AUDUBON COUNTY

After careful survey of the polit-
.ical situation in Audubon county, by
men who have given the matter care
full attention, we are informed the
general belief prevails that the coun-
ty will be carried by the Republican
party 1t is claimed that there is now
no division in the party and the rank
and file are highly pleased with the
candidates that have been nomin-
ated. Democrats, Republicans, and
Progressives agree that the Progress
ives who left the Republican party
two years ago are returning to the
Republican fold by the hundreds.
Conditions are not as they were two
years ago. The Progressive boys
feel that their former party now rep
resents their interests more clearly
than any other party and they are.
with very few exceptions, going to
vote large part of the Republican
ticket They will, it is claimed, give
the Republican county ticket their
support This being true, we can see
no reason why the Republican coun-
ty ticket will not be successful.

THE TRUTH ABOUT
CAPITOL EXTENSION

"A number OF newspapers throughout the state, and
we are sorry to say, one right here in Audubon, are
purposely otherwise misleading the people in re-
gard to Capitol Extension. The Audubon Advocate
made the statement few weeks ago that the proposed
extension covered of a fraction over so acres
We did not think the statement was correct, and
wishing to give to the public the facts wrote
to Des Moines for the correct figures The following
clipping sent in return which is authentic and
gives the information that we know the people
of Audubon county will be pleased to have:
1.-THE Iowa Farmer will not be accused of dabbling
in politics. sure if it suggests that there is much
misapprehension to what is really involved in the
enlargement of the grounds around Iowas magnificent
state house We have gone quite thoroughly the
tract included in the purchase. The square which
the capitol stands in Des Moines contains 1116
The law enacted by the last legislature authorizes the
purchase of 401 acres The same law authorizes the
sale of SIS which makes the additional ground
acquired by purchase 1882 acres. The streets and
alleys included in the acquired tract amount to 2601
This portion of the tract does not cost the state
cent These streets and alleys the property of
the city of Des Mones and they given outright
to the state The total acreage acquired by the state
in this capitol extension by purchase and donation
therefore was 6033 On this ground the capitol
proper occupies as above noted, 1116 acres. The
historical building occupies part of the remain
ing ground Provision is made in the plans for heat
ing plant near the railway for the state buildings
Ground is also allotted for governors residence for
the Allison monument, for the soldiers and sailors
monument for an Office building for the State Dairy
and Food commissioner for temple of justice and for
a state armory.''

CONGRESSMAN GREEN is
BACK FROM WASHINGTON

Hon. w. r. Green of this city, rep
resentative in congress from the
Ninth IONA District, arrived in Aud
ubon Monday from his labors in
Washington and will in all probable
ity, remain in the district until after
election. Mr. Green is looking well
after spending several months at
hard work. He is a member of some
of the most important committees,
and this of necessity requires dill
gent and careful study.
Mr.. Green's opposition to the in
famous war tax" bill presented by
the democratic administration, has
as the people of the United States
do not favor war tax" in time of
peace. The general opinion through
out the country is that the Wilson
administration is going to suffer
severely because of this bill.
Mr.. Green has also been brought
into prominence in connection with
his demand for an investigation of
the affairs of the c. r. /. & p. Ry.
The Council Bluffs Nonpariel yester-
day spoke of him as follows:
Congressman Green won his con-
test with the wild and woolly finan-
ciers of the Rock Island railway. The
affairs of the company are to be in
vestigated by the interstate COM
merce commission with Joe Folk as
the chief inquisitor This surely
means that the work of the exploit
ers is going to be clearly and COM
pletely exposed Already every point
developed and exposed by Judge
Green has been fully verified. Con-
gresham Green is entitled to a
great deal of credit for his work in
this case"
Nr. Green has brought honor to
Audubon county. He is a candidate
for reelection and the Republican
would like to see the voters of this
county give him a rousing big ma
jority. He is home man and why
that. He is honest, capable and re-
liable. We move ITO make his cleo
ton unanimous. q

Farmers Suffer Through
Postmaster Generals Policy

1t must be said for Postmaster GEN
eral Burleson that he is at least
frank about his intention to discrim-
mate against the farmers in his plan
to economic by refusing to establish
any more rural free delivery routes.
His Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General is writing members of Con-
gress: st is apparently advisable
to withhold for a time all applica-
tons for additional postal facilities
that involve increased expenditures
except in case of urgent necessity,
and think you will agree with me
that much can be accomplished in
this line of deferring the establish
ment of additional rural routes"
This boldly announced policy will
be considered with intense interest
by several million farmers entitled
to rural free delivery service who
reads for days in newspaper dispatch
es from Washington of the persist
ent efforts of the democratic Con-
gress to pass a $53,O00,0000 pork
barrel rivers and harbors, bill, the
most of which was for scooping the
mud out of the bottom of inconse-
quental little creeks in the South.

CONNOLLY REPEATS HISTORY

Woodrow Wilson is not the first
democratic idol. Andrew Jackson in
his day,@and way was quite as popu-
| lar and small men then, tried to ride
over big ones, and into Office on jack
sons popularity just as Connolly now
seeks election to the United States
Senate from Iowa by posing as the
puppet of Woodrow Wilson.
In 1929 David Crockett, a rugged
character from Tennessee, Jackson's
home state, was elected to Congress
He, in the main, approved of jack
sons administration, but disagreed
with him as to certain matters and
voted against some of his important
administration measures, whereupon
one Ritz was brought out as jack
son candidate to defeat Crockett for
reelection. An account of this cam
paign is given by Crockett himself
in his autobiography and among
other things he says:
.sNo Mans Fido,,
when Congress closed and l re-
turned home i found storm had
raised against me, that was echoed
by my opponents from side to side
and from end to end of my district.
Mr.. Fitz, the candidate against me,

This was considered an objectionable
sin. / was hunted down like wild
varmint, and in this hunt every little

the election to the Office of county
treasurer they can rest assured that
he is eminently capable of filling the
position. He solicits the support of
the Audubon county voters.
j. G. Boyer, farmer and business
man, is making the race for Sheriff.
There isn't a more pleasing or oblig-
ing man ever drew the breath of life
than Jim Boyer Every man who
knows him will testify to his honesty
and to his integrity When he was
non the farm his neighbors knew him
as one of the best farmers in the COM
munity and hard worker. He lived
in Hamlin township and near Extra
before entering into business in this
city We are told that the people of
the south end ofthe county are almost
unanimously in his favor. 1t is con-
sidered uphill business for a Repub-
lican to be elected to this Office but
it has been done before and there
are hundreds of people who believe
j. G. Boyer is going to be the next
sheriff of this county. Mr. Boyer
says as long as he is candidate he
wants to be elected and wishes us to
state that he will appreciate any
thing his friends can do for him. He
| is out TO win il he can do il honor
ably.
The prince of good fellows is
Harp" Wilson and he is the candi-
date for Clerk of the District Court.
Every man, woman and child in Aud
ubon likes Harp Wilson. He was
Audubon's postmaster under Roose-
welt and Taft and gave the patrons
fair and square deal at any and all
times. His wide acquaintance will
help him in his campaign. He is an
old soldier, and not having laid by a
lot of this worlds goods, he could
use this Office to good advantage. Be
fore entering the post office he was
in the harness business and all
| through life has been in a position
where he came in contact with the
public. He is of even temperament,
level headed and would be an oblig-
ing and painstaking county official.
His friends swear by him, and he,
like the other candidates, will APP
preciate vote at the election which
takes place November 3rd.
A. II. Edwards is the Republican
candidate for Representative. He is
considered one of the ablest and best
posted men on public affairs in Aud

lent work. His return to that i'm
portant position would place him
where he would be of special service
