STANLEY HAD LARGE
AUDIENCE AT HICKMAN.

Kentucky's gifted son and
matchless orator, Ex-Congressman
A. o. Stanley, candidate for Gov
ernor, spoke to large audience
IN the railroad park at Hickman
Saturday night. Owing to the
fact he had made three speeches
Saturday before reaching HEX
mSn. his voice had been over-tax-
ed ind it was with difficulty he
made himself heard.
NJ. Stanley was introduced by
Judge f. S. Moore.
Ina the course Of his remarks,
Mr.. Stanley 10 Iched the various
ISSUES involved IN The campaign.
The largest of these is admittedly
the Statewide issue. Stanley
claims to have made a hard fight
in the last Legislature for the
submission of an amendment al
lowing folks 10 vote on State
wide that is was killed in the Sen
ate. He cannot figure out how
Statewide can be made a plank
in the Democratic platform when
there has been no convention to
ratify it; on the contrary, the
platform as it stands today en-
dorses the county unit and no
feels in honor bound as a Demo
crat 10 run on that platform.
The idea conveyed by Mr.. Stan
ley is that he is for Statewide
personally-having made a fight
for it-but under present condi-
tions he is for and will support
the county unit as passed by the
last legislature. In the matter of
support, he denied that he was
being backed by the liquor inter
ests, but the very nature of the
issue would lead any thinking
man 10 accept this denial with
pinch of salt. If It is more To
the interest of brewers and dis
tillers to support the county unit
than Staie-wide-and il is-they
will naturally look after their
own interests.
As a whole, Stanley's address
was well received. 1t was for
the most part an able one, ex-
tolling the merits of the old time
Jeffersonian Democracy and
plea for a united effort on the
part of all Democrats. He took
his opponent, McChesney, to task
and branded him as q professional
lobbyist and jack-legged lawyer,
yet conveying the impression
that McChesney was the man he
had to defeat to win the nomina
ton on Aug. 9TH.
Following the speaking, Full
ton $ brass band gave a concert
which was greatly enjoyed by
the Stanley audience.

HoLplNe BOYS ON Farm.

Editors of fourteen weekly news
papers in as many counties in south
ern Illinois have pledged themselves
to do all they can to further back
to-the-farm movement.
One page week will be devoted
to various phases of rural develop
ment. Young people will be encour-
aged to remain on the home farms in
stead OF going to the cities.
Two or more rural townships In
each of SO of the 1902 counties In the
state showed decline In population
in the twenty years between 1890 and
1910. Fifty counties actually declined
in population between 1900 and 1910,
while the growth of the cities made
the state show an increase of 16 per-
cent.
I'VE desire united voice raised
against the drift cityward.' a state
ment published in all OF the fourteen
papers say. .'for it is against reason
and will more and more breed the
anarchy of hunger. We appeal to our
fellow country editors IN Illinois to
join in considering what weaxens our
rural communities and what we can
do to stop the weakening process"
The action of these editors Is all
the more significant because 1t follows
closely upon the Inauguration OF
campaign by the bankers of the state
to help the farmers.

What About Outside support7

Cedar Rapids Republican: We ad-
wise the Cummins boosters to move
outside the state to get support. There
is no use spending useful time in
Iowa. There is no opposition in this
state, but Iowa would feel much bet
ter about it II It could be shown that
there Is some outside support to be
had. II Iowa is to vote alone again
there will not be much comfort In
it. This state has gone to great
many national conventions with
favorite candidate who had no sup
porte that was worth considering out
side of the state. The people Of the
state do not want to get into the fix
again. II there is no support for
Senator Cummins in other states we
might as we'll withdraw our candidate.

N.eded Where He 10.

Hanson Democrat: The under
ground rumors that Clifford Thorne
will become candidate for the re-
publican nomination for the governor
ship will not down. If it be true that
Mr.. Thorne has gubernatorial aspira-
lions at this time it is unfortunate for
both himself and the people OF Iowa.
His entrance into the imbroglio into
which ambitious republicans have
brought their party can result only IN
complicating matters all the more.
Not as a democrat. republican, or
member of any political party, but as
a citizen of the splendid state OF Iowa,
the editor of this newspaper would ad-
wise Mr.. Thorne to stay where he is,
as the leading and aggressive member
of the state railroad commission. Ha
is needed there for at least another
term to defend the rights OF the peo-
pie against the encroachments of the
railroad interests After his term OF
office expires the state legislature
should retain him as the attorney for
the people Of Iowa against the rail
roads and provide salary of not less
than $4,000 per year for him. The
railroad attorneys whom he is pitted
against every day are being paid from
$4,000 to $4,000 year for their
services and Clifford Thorne is fight
ing them almost single handed for
less than $4,000 per year. Such
SALARY" is a miserable pittance for
the work he does for the people OF
Iowa and an insult to man Of the
caliber and capacity OF Clifford
Thorne.

When the retail merchants league
takes its trip along the Rock Island,
every member who can possibly get
away from his business should go.
Every store should have some repre-
sentation. Every effort should be
made to indicate to the people along
the Rock Island that it is the wish of
the Keokuk merchants to serve them
in a commercial and social way. Keo-
luk goods and Keokuk prices are just
as attractive as those offered by the
merchants of other cities. In fact the
proof has often come to us that the
prices are more attractive. Keokuk
can be made a trading point If the
right kind of advertising is employed.
