MRS. MABEL JUDD ARNOLD
Democratic Candidate for County
Recorder
There is but one county Office to
which woman may be elected by the
voters in Iowa, and that is theoffice of
county recorder, and in Mrs. Mabel
Judd Arnold, of Garden Grove, the
democrats have candidate which no
man need hesitate to vote for. Mrs.
Arnold was born in Garden Grove
township, a daughter of the late
Newton Judd, one of the pioneers of
that part of Decatur county. She is
well educated and especially fitted
for the Office of county recorder, be-

The election Of a county attorney
is matter in which every taxpayer
in Decatur county is vitality interest
ed, for it. means much in regard to
the taxes you have to pay. The
criminal court expenses are one OF
the big items OF expense to the tax
payers. There is no limit to the ex-
pense which can be piled up on the
taxpayers in the trial of criminal
cases, and it is essentia! that a law
yer of experience and good judgment
be elected to this Office. Two years
ago the voters elected Geo. w. Baker
as county attorney and he is now be-
fore you asking for the customary
second term, and stands on his record
as the best endorsement of his can
didacy. Mr. Baker has served the
people of Decatur county we'll and
faithfully as county attorney. He is
brilliant lawyer, one of the best
prosecutors in Iowa, and he never
makes needless expense in the trial
of criminal cases. Neither is it neces-
sary to employ outside legal help
when it comes to trying criminal
case, for Mr.. Baker is the equal of
any lawyer in southern Iowa. If
elected for a second term Mr.. Baker
will continue to conduct the affairs
Of the county attorneys office in the
same conservative manner as in the
past, ever keeping the cost of the
criminal prosecutions to the taxpay-
ers in view. He has no apologies to
make for his record 1t stands be-
fore the people and it is up to them
to decide by their votes next tuesday
whether or not they want to continue
Mr.. Baker as county attorney. He is
entitled to your vote if you believe
he has made good prosecuting at
torney in the past, and his experience
in the office means a big saving in
court costs.

A. T. Weldon, or perhaps we
should say ,Ang Weldon, for that is
the name nearly everybody knows
him by, is one of the pioneers of De-
catur county, being born in this
county May 20, 1852, on the old We'll
don homestead in Decatur township.
His father, Truman Weldon, came to
Decatur county in 1S4S, and died in
1852, leaving his wife and three chill
dren, Ang being the youngest, being
only three months old at the time OF
his fathers death. After the death
of his father the family moved to
farm a mile and a half east of Leon,
where they remained until he was
thirteen years old, then returned to
the farm in Decatur township, where
he resided until year ago last
spring when he moved to New Buda
township, having purchased farm
south of Davis City. His grandfath-
err on his mothers side, was John
Mcdaniel, who settled at Terre
Haute away back in 1888, being one
Of the first settlers in Decatur coun-
ty. Weldon river in this county was
named after his grandfather Weldon
and his brothers, who came here in a
very early day, settling flrst IN north
ern Missouri and then coming across
into Iowa. Ang Weldon is one OF the
best men who ever lived in Decatur
county, man whose word is as good
as a government bond, upright in all
his dealings with his neighbors and
everybody with whom lie ever had
any business transactions. He was
never an Office seeker, and it was at
the earnest solicitation of his friends
all over the county that he came out
as the democratic candidate for coun-
ty treasurer. If elected there will
be no taxpayer who will have any
grounds to complain of the treat
ment he receives at Mr. Weldon's
hands, for Ang Weldon would go
long ways out of his way to do fav-
or for any one on earth. When you
mark your ballot for county treasur-
err, see that you vote for good old
Ang Weldon.

The democrats of Decatur county
have a hustler in their candidate for
sheriff this year, John A. Fulton, the
well known Leon grocer, a member
of the firm Gillian & Fulton.
John Fulton is Decatur county boy,
born and raised right here in the vi
cinity of Leon and his life is an open
book. He has made his way against
adverse circumstances, and no man
in Leon has better reputation. He
was the democratic candidate for
sheriff two years ago and made a
splendid race, but he was running
against sheriff Lorey for second
term, who had made one of the best
and most popular sheriffs who ever
held the Office in this county, and
when the voters had to choose can
didate for sheriff at the June pri-
maries they turned to John Fulton
as the most available. and strongest
man to make the race. Mr.. Fulton is
young, energetic, fearless, and would
never shirk in the discharge of his
official duty He has made friends
every day since he entered the race
and in every part Of the county he is
going to run ahead of his ticket. No
one need be ashamed Of supporting
John Fulton for. sheriff, for if elect
ed he would never do single act
which would bring discredit upon
himself or the voters who elected
him. He has always put himself out
of the way to do kind act for any
one needing assistance, and is one
of our most public spirited citizens,
a man who has no enemies and
wants to be the friend of everyone.
Cast vote for John Fulton for sher-
if. He will appreciate your support
for this Office and is working hard to
be elected with the chances strong in
his favor If you want Fulton for
sheriff just do little work for him
in your neighborhood and he will
be elected next Tuesday.

1t is very important that H. B.
Bracewell, of Corydon, the democrat
ic candidate for congress from this
district be elected next Tuesday. Ev-
cry man who votes for Woodrow Will
son should vote for the democratic
candidate for congress. President
Wilson's candidacy rests upon his
record of progressive achievement
and its guarantee to complete this
record by applying the new progress
sive laws fairly and efficiently. When
you vote for Woodrow Wilson you
vote for his progressive policies and
deeds. 1t was a democratic congress
that put through the splendid Wilson
record of achievement. Another
democratic congress is absolutely
necessary to continue, apply and
complete the good work. Mr.. Brace
we'll is fully in accord with the poll
cies of President Wilson. Congress-
man ToWner has a record of oppos-
ing the president in practically all
of his progressive legislation. Mr..
BraceWell is one Of the most brilliant
and best posted men in the state. lie
is fluent speaker and if elected to
represent the eighth district in con-
gress would make record of which
the voters of the district may we'll be
proud. If you are in accord with
President Wilson's policies you owe
it to him to give him a democratic
congress to support him. Remember
this and vote to elect congressman
who will support, not oppose, Presi-
dent Wilson.

ing very accurate and painstaking in
all her work. For number of years
she has been one of the most efficient
teachers in the Garden Grove public
schools, working faithfully to main
tain the little home for herself and
children. Why not reward this ener-
getic and capable little lady by elect
ing her as county recorder. Ask any
resident of Garden Grove where she
has resided all her life as to Mrs.
Arnold, and they will recommend her
in no uncertain words, as lady who
is entitled to consideration at the
hands of the voters. The family of
her opponent have held the office
now for four years, and there has
been a feeling among the voters Of
Decatur county for a number Of
years that two terms is enough. Why
not pass the county offices around.
There are too many deserving people
and too few offices to keep one fam
fly in office for life time. Think this
matter over carefully, then make up
your mind to vote for Mrs. Mabel
Judd Arnold for county recorder
when you go to the polls next Tues
day.

There is . pretty warm fight be-
tween the democratic and republican
candidates for state senator from
this district composed of the three
counties Of Union, Ringgold and
Union The democratic candidate is
J. A. Stephenson of Mt. Ayr, the
only democrat who ever represented
Rihggold county in the state legisla-
ture, and he has clean record on
which to go before the people. He is
not the tool of the corporations like
Mr. Skinner, his republican opponent,
who has long record as being q.
friend to the railroads and other cor
porate interests. Skinner was
member of the legislature when the
two cent fare bill was made a law
and he voted against the measure. In
his home county of Union many lead
ing republicans are openly opposing
him, and it is claimed that he cannot
carry his own county. On the other
hand Mr.. Stephenson's record will
stand the closest scrutiny. He has
made good, and the people of his
home county have the utmost conf
dence in him, and reports say he will
undoubtedly carry Ringgold county.
If he receives the support in Decatur
county which he is entitled to he will
be elected without any question. If
you want a man to represent the
people, vote for Stephenson. II you
want i tool Of the corporations to
represent you in the Iowa senate,
then vote for Skinner.

Frank A. CARRIER, nominated with
out opposition by the democrats at
the primary election for member Of
the legislature from Decatur county,
is one of the sturdy farmers of Deca-
tur county. He was born on the
CARRIER homestead in Center town
ship on May 8, 1865, and has resid-
ed in Decatur county all his life with
the exception of two years when ne
was farming in Union county. he
owns a good farm of 1856 acres, a
part of the old Dan Sears farm In
Center township, and is regarded as
one of the solid farmers of this
county. He has never been an office
seeker, but has served for many
years as school director and township
clerk. He stands squarely on the
democratic platform. A man OF
clean personal habits, he is absolute
ly opposed to the liquor traffic, and
would vote dry on every question
which came before the legislature If
he was a member of it. He believes
in local rule as to township and
county affairs, and is opposed to use
less commissions created to give Of
fee seekers who want to run the local
affairs, jobs, and would oppose any
law which takes away from the
townships the right to select their
own officers. On the question of
roads he is in favor Of the very best
roads we can afford without increas-
ing taxation, and believes that the
state affairs should be administered
in an economical manner, and the
people relieved from excessive taxa
ton. The farmers of Iowa are the
big taxpayers and they have never
been adequately represented in the
legislature, which has been compos-
ed of too many lawyers and profess
sional men, who have neglected the
interests of the farmers, the real
bone and sinew of the great state OF
Iowa, Vote for CARRIER for represent
tative and do your part to elect a
legislature which will do some real
work and look after the interests of
the taxpayers.
