los-consressman Good Discusses Is
sues Of Day InteIlisently.

There was much of the old time en-
| thusiasm about the gathering of re-
! publicans that filled the Odeon Theater
! last evening. AS a real republican
! rally arranged for on short notice, it
was a great success in every way. Pic
| lures of the national candidates of the
party were on the big national flag
| that hung behind and above the speak
ers on the stage. Members of the sol
| diers home had been invited to sit on
the stage and more than half a hum
| dred of them were there, while as many
more were in front During the even
ing there was plenty of applause and
an air of confidence of coming victory
for national and state tickets of the
party next Tuesday.
Warmly cordial was the reception
accorded Congressman Good when he
came to speak. 1t was his only appear
ance in the city in the present cam
paign. He began his talk with an ex-
preston of his pleasure at being here,
saying that when his trip thru the
county this week had been arranged it
was hardly thought that ne could have
an opportunity Of addressing a Mar
shutdown audience. He devoted him
self wholly to advocacy Of the return
OF the party TO take charge Of the ma
iional housekeeping. criticizing the
conduct Of the democratic administra-
ton in office and holding up Charles
Evans Hughes as the best candidate
the party has had for many years.
Don't Overlook Judicial Ticket.
County Chairman Van Law talked
first. filling in the time" he said, so
that the many men at the Searchlighc
Club meeting might get TO the theater
in time TO hear all Mr.. Good had to
say from start TO finish. He earnestly
urged all not to forget the little nor
partisan ticket up in the right hand
corner Of the ballot, where the names
of the judicial candidates are printed
The Importance Of each and every
voter recording his choice on this t!cke;
was put before the audience. The
speaker said he had his own prefer
ences, but would not mention, them:
he would advise and with the greatest
earnestness that the man who is in any
doubt as to the best names to marx
his crosses opposite should go to the
lawyer in the city he would choose to
attend to any case he might have in
the district court and ask him what he
would do and why. Mr.. Van Law re-
counted the fact that the republican
party in Iowa Is the party that has for
forty years been the temperance party
in the state and has been the means o.
driving from the commonwealth the
licensed liquor traffic.
Good Reviews Issues.
CONGRESSMAN Good pointed ont that,
for the first time in the history OF porS-
teal campaigns in the country. this
wear is seen the unusual condition OF
good times and the existence at Wash
ington Of a democratic administration
in power. He feared that the fact might
SWAY many to a decision, maybe, to
keep it where it is But ne was con
fdent that reason will prevail when
full knowledge Of all the facts In the
case and the reasons underlying the
condition came to the voters. He re-
viewed the acts Of the Wilson admins
tration, blamed 1t for its extravagance
doubling the appropriations OF congress
over what had been the high water
mark Of the Taft administration.
Platform Promises Broken.
He showed how the democratic plat.
form promises Of four years ago nad
been deliberately broken all along the
line. That party Is asking for its con-
tinuance because 1t has kept US out OF
war" and the congressman dweH at
length in showing that the nation has
been in two wars in Mexico since It
took hold Of the reins Of government.
The sectional legislation Of the past
three wears was dwelt on since the
south has been in the saddle and It's
members have resolved to keep going
while the going is good"
Mr.. Good told just what the Adamson
so-calIed eight hour law Is, how rail-
road men it was designed to benefit
and please and capture for their votes
are beginning to see it does not and
can not do for them what they had
been led to think 1t would.
Hughes Record For Labor.
Mr.. Good placed himself as favor
able TO all good legislation that will
help the working man. He showed the
past record Of Mr.. Wilson IN opposition
| to union labor and against it placed
the fine record of Mr.. Hughes while he
was governor of New York state. He
closed with a-glowing presentment OK
the republican candidate for president,
that was applauded by all. Mr.. Good
| admitted that the democratic congress
| had put In law some good legislation
with the aid, counsel and support OF
large body Of republicans in both
houses. The need OF republican adj
| ministration at Washington and an ap-
| plication Of it's economic principles OF
| protection and the maintenance OF the
| rights of all Americans wherever they
may be when the present world war IL
| over make this present political cam
paign one Of the most important In the
| history Of the people, and voters should
pause. voters of all parties. to think OF
| that before they enter the ballot box.
