AFTER THE BATTLE
IN THE 9th DISTRICT

1t was announced with great
flourish that Congressman Green was
to be defeated this time and extraord-
mary efforts were made for that pur-
pose. Money was spent like water
in advertising, giving banquets to
young men, etc., and the district was
flooded with letters from Council
Bluffs, where a strong organization
was perfected by the opposition. Our
Congressman come out of the cam
paign with over 1900 majority, by
far the largest he has ever received
and larger than any candidate has
received in the district for eight years
The attempt to make capital by his
failing to answer roll calls and vot-
ing on motions to adjourn the winter
he went to Washington on crutches
and his leg in a cast, when many a
man would have stayed at home, fell
flat in the district at large or made
him votes as rule, although it lost
him some in the locality in which this
matter was not understood. His
majorities are especially large in the
town of Adair and the town of Red
Oak, where it was thought the OPP
position would make large gains. In
the district at large he is $500 ahead
of the ticket The fine majority
given him in this county shows what
his old friends think of him and the
Congressman wishes us to say that
he greatly appreciates it. He made
the campaign without any manager or
any organization and had he incurred
the expense which would have been
necessary for this purpose, his
majority would hav been
much larger. AS it was. he made the
campaign upon his work in Congress.
devoted part of his time in making
speeches outside of the State, with
the result that shows that he is
stronger than even his friends claim.

UNIQUEBIRTHDAY collaboration

Lenox College, the husky sixty
year old educational institution locat-
ed at HOpkintOn. Iowa, has adopted
a unique method of celebrating its
birthday. An aggressive campaign has
been instituted to raise building
endowment fund of one half a million
dollars.
Lenox is the third oldest educa-
tional institution in Iowa and the first
Presbyterian college that was started
in the state. During its long years
of service it has turned out over 5000
students, many of whom are occupy
ing positions of trust the world over.
Its history is in keeping with the
traditions of all such institutions, in
that during the Cival War, the entire
student body and the faculty enlist
ed in the cause of Lincoln and served
during the entire war, many of them
losing their lives or dying later from
wounds received. AS result of this
sacrifice on the part of it's students,
there stands on the College campus,
the oldest soldiers monument in the
state, and one Of the first to be erect
ed in the United States to the memory
of the Civil War Veterans.
Recently new life has been instil-
led into the College by the newly en-
gagged President. DR.. st. Clair Mack
enzie, one of the most noted educa-
tors of the country, who came here
from the State University of Ken
lucky. Although but short time in
the position, President Mackenzie
Increased the Freshman class 800 per
cent over that of last year, and the
present stupendous undertaking has
its initiative from him.
During the course of the campaign
Just started, DR.. Mackenzie will speak
in most of the important cities in the
state, to acquaint the people with the
work that is being accomplished at

A PRINT PAPER CRISES

The price of print paper, which has
been steadily rising, is to be still
further advanced after the first of the
year. Next years prices will add from
| so to 60 per cent to the cost of pa
per to the newspaper publisher. The
country newspaper that has been pay
| ing $4,000 a year for paper will
hereafter pay SIS, 200 and more. The
metropolitan paper which has been
paying 100000 will pay 81 500, 00C
and upwards.
This sudden and unexpected ad-
vance in the cost of the newspapers
raw material is a matter of very great
importance, not merely to thenewspa-
pers, but to the public. Scores OF
newspapers are likely to be put out
of business. The others must find
drastic means for increasing their
revenues or they must cut down their
service. In either case the public, OF
course, must finally foot the bill.
For that reason it seems necessary
to inform the public of the develop
ments of a situation which under or
binary circumstances would be re-
garded as merely the incidental pri-
waite trouble of the publishers.
The paper manufacturers have con-
tended that the abnormal situation
was due to increased demand and to
higher cost of production. But the
gravity of the condition confronting
the newspaper business was such as
to impel congress to direct an inquiry
by the federal trade commission to
discover whether these factors were
ufTiciant IN warrant the tremendous
advance in price.
The hope that this inquiry would
get anywhere must be relinquished
All that the commission apparently
can find to do is to recommend that
the size of newspapers be cut down.
This finding has been widely resented.

AUDUBON VOTERS
In CALIFORNIA
Though in California Audubon Folks
did not Forget the Old Home
at the General Election

The Long Beach, Calf, Telegram
of November End contained the fol-
lowing of interest to our readers:
-. w. B. Cole, of 1885 Newport
avenue; Z. j. Freeman, of Gas Cedar
avenue, and S. M. Gardner, of 226
West Sixth street, three former
! Iowans who have been staunch Re-
pubicans for many years have
filled out their general election bal
| lots in the presence of notaries public
and have mailed them back to the
Hawkeye State, where the trio are
still registered voters.
81 voted for everybody on the Re-
publican ticket. from the Hughes cleo
! tors down to the constables," said Mr..
Cole, just after having mailed his bal
lot, Wednesday afternoon. THE
other Iowans who. while in Califor-
mia, are voting in the old home state,
also voted the Republican ticket.
81 filled mine out in the Office OF
w. NJ. Galbraith, notary public. The
ballots, after being filled out are
mailed to the auditor of our county
back in Iowa, and he delivers them to
the Judges on election day.
I'VE sent in our affidavits three
weeks ago that we were living here
but were entitled to vote in Iowa, and
after the affidavits were received, our
ballots were mailed to u.s."
Mr.. Cole has voted the Republican
ticket regularly since 1862. He cast
his first vote in Corinth, Miss.
1t is an interesting fact that, 35
years ago, when he first voted in Iowa
Mr.. Cole voted for Z. J. Freeman, one
of the three Iowans who have mailed
their ballots East, for the Office OF
county treasurer.
1t is another interesting fact
known to but few Long Beach people,
that Mr.. Freeman is national presi-
dent of the Civil War Musicians
Association.
Messrs, Cole, Freeman and Gardner
are all registered voters of Audubon,
Ia, and their ballots were directed to
the county auditor of Audubon coun-
ty."

A NEW POLITICAL ERA.

New York World (democratic)
The presidency turns on a handful of
voters in a handful of states. Never
before was there so dramatic a shift
in the returns of presidential cleo
ton as that Wednesday morning.
At midnight Tuesday Mr.. Hughes
seemed elected beyond shadow of
doubt overwhelming majority, carry
ing with it New Jersey and Connec-
ticut. Illinois and Indiana were rep
ublican. The old alignment of states
which had decided so many presiden-
tial elections had given its electoral
votes to Mr.. Hughes, and apparently
President Wilson was hopelessly
beaten.
For half a century these five states
had been the United States in ma
voice in the union. The republi-
can managers, following precedent,
| had poured their money into these
states and done their work in these
states. With these states secure, Mr..
| Hughes election was a matter only
of majorities.
Then something happened. The
west spoke-the west that the rep
ublican campaign manager had con-
temptuosly disregarded. Slowly the
east came to realization that Mr..
Hughes was not elected. Everything
was in doubt. The swing was toward
President Wilson. Kansas had follow
ed Colorado and Nebraska into the
Wilson column. Utah, Idaho and
Wyoming had followed Montana and
Nevada. Washington was democratic,
with California turning to Wilson
and Oregon hanging in the balance.
| Early Wednesday morning it be-
came apparent that the issue rested
who'll with the west, and that the
west would determine or reelected.
And so it has reminded. Mr.. Hughes
sweeping victory went glimmering,
the easy confidence of the republic
can managers vanished.
The west had indeed spoken, and
nothing better has happened in a
generation than this shifting of the
political balance to a section which
still maintains the old ideals of the
republic, which is not owned by its
lpocketbooks and which has never
made O. god of it's bank account. To
elect a president without the sordia
assistance of New York and hardly
less sordid assistance of Illinois would
be a double triumph. Even to lose the
presidency by small margin in such
circumstances would be a moral vic
tory that Mr.. Wilson could always re-
member with pride. Whether he wins
or loses in the final count of the
states that will decide the result, his
leadership has wrought mighty
political revolution in the United
States. The cash register patriotism
of New York has been spat upon by
virile American west that is keep
ing the faith of the fathers.
That in itself is a smashing victory
World welcomes it as the beginning
of new political era in the United
States.
