One of the strongest members of
the bar has entered the race for the
office Of attorney general on the re-
publican ticket-H. M. Havner of
Marengo. 1t will be recalled that
when the fight over the saloon petit
ton came up four or five years ago
this lawyer was called to Des Moines
to take charge Of the case for the
drys. It was a long hard fight
through both the district and the su-
preme court. with decision finally in
favor of the drys. Shortly after this
another saloon petition was circulat-
ed and again Mr.. Havner was called
upon to lead the fight for the drys.
This time the saloon interests were
so completely showed under that they
gave up the fight before the drys
were half way through introducing
their evidence.
His fights against the saloons have
carried him into contact with many
of the ablest lawyers Of Iowa and he
has always been equal to the occas-
ion. He whipped the saloons out of
his own county years ago and has
been the leader in fights against them
in many other places.
Mr.. ,Havner is the son of John
Havner, civil war veteran. Mr..
Havner himself was private in the
Spanish-American war. He was born
and raised in the good old state of
Iowa. Worked his way through COL
lege and law school and started in
the practice at Marengo about seven
teen years ago. He entered into the
court work with firm determination
to put his best into every case. So
that now he is regarded as one Of
the strongest trial lawyers in Iowa
and has an extensive practice in both
the state and federal courts.
AS member Of the Methodist
church he holds a position on one of
it's most important national commit
tees. As a farmer he has some Of
the best improved farms in Iowa; as
a business man he has been unusually
successful. ~-'s,&%
This is the first time he has ever
sought favors Of the voters. He is
not such politician as the voter is
best acquainted with, but he is we'll
qualified to fill the Office and in cast
ing your vote for him as attorney
general you vote for man POLITICAL
ly, clean, professionally able and
armed with every evidence Of a strong
character. 5s- ..,ss. 4 4, ~ I.
He is the man Iowa needs in the
office Of attorney general.

against the play. There was no doubt
in the minds Of all Of them that the
play was immoral, obscene, indecent
and calculated to incite race anti
pathy and should be suppressed. Too
much praise cannot be given all of
the above named witnesses, as they
are leaders Of the Anglo race here,
and each one simply did their duty
as high class, broad minded Chris
tian gentleman. No colored witness
has yet been put on the stand.

AN APPEAL TO WOMAN.

AN APPEAL TO WOMAN.
Woman, oh woman, daylight is break
ing,
Every human creature on earth is
awaking;
Get up and get, or you'll loose in the
race,
For the men are all running a mighty
swift pace.
Woman, oh woman, why are you
sleeping,
Look at the harvest that we should be-
reaping;
Put on thy bonnet and speed fast
away,
To the beautiful meadow, and gather
the hay.
Woman, oh woman, the time now has
come
When we all rake the harvest, as we
long should have done;
Years that have passed, and can't be
replaced,
Time has effaced US, now we're dis
graced.
Woman, oh woman, take heed to the
call,
Daylight will be darkness to you, me,
and all,
Get yourself ready, and fight with all
your might,
For man will assist US, he knows we
are right.

found that chance. During that year
l worked from choice, not from neces-
sity, days, nights and Sundays trying
to make myself a necessity. I was
worried about the future. At the end
of the year I became member Of
the firm of Catch & Weaver and was
to have $50 per month and if 20 per
cent Of the net earnings at the end
of the year amounted to more I was
to have the difference. Thus I began
my career as = lawyer
AS can be imagined, I have a warm
place in my heart for Colonel Catch
and Judge Bancroft, who gave me a
chance to work. * -

SENATOR CHARLES H. THOMAS
FOR STATE TREASURER.

Mr., Thomas is worthy Of recogni-
tion in this connection.
His legislative record proves him to
be a man of broad comprehension-a
most intelligent, efficient and fear
elss worker for every law for the ad-
vancement of society, the protection
of the wealth producer and better
ment Of the home.
Some of the most notable laws for
which he IS responsible are the FAM
Gus blue sky law, prohibitory amend
ment, minimum wage and other such
laws which have worked for the bet
terment of society.
Mr.. Thomas has championed no
laws which would especially privilege
any individual, race, class or people.
He has always worked on the broad
assumption that we were all Ameri-
cans and citizens Of Iowa and for the
advancement of her citizenship, her
laws must be for the benefit of all
her people.
Starting life as a farm hand with
out dollar, but with unlimited will
power and determination, he has
made success Of life and is now one
of the leading merchants and bann-
ers of southwestern Iowa.
His senatorial record shows that he
has never forgotten his early life nor
his duty 10 those less fortunate. As
senator he was always found cham
pioning the cause and interests of the
wealth producing classes and the
many testimonials Of appreciation and
Recommendation from the different
labor bodies throughout the state,
thanking him fof his activity in their
behalf insures him their appreciation
of the necessity of him being elected
to the Office Of state treasurer, for as
a member of the executive council his
influence in their behalf will be great
er than that as senator.
Mr.. Thomas practical business
training, together with his legislative
knowledge, has especially equipped
him for the Office to which he aspires,
and will, if elected, make us a most
efficient state treasurer.
