Carl Evans Spoke.

Carl Evans, of West Union, who is
cut against Hon. G. N. Haugen as
Democratic nominee for congress, spoke
at the Grand here Monday night. Carl
had a good audience, but we don't think
he convinced any one that he is the
man to take Mr.. Haugen's place in con-
gress. He is fair speaker, but elected
very little, if any, enthusiasm from his
audience, and we don't think he salted
away any Republican votes for his BEN
eft next Tuesday. Before the speech
the Merchants Band was out and gave
concert on the street. A quartet, COM
posed of Emick ~Elleckson, Alice Dan
iels-Greibel, Jennie Edmunds, and Al
Anderson, with Miss Frances MacRey-
nolds at the piano, rendered several
campaign songs, which were composed
by Miss Jennie Edmunds, and they were
dedicated to Woodrow Wilson. DR.. j
F. Conover, of Calmar, chairman of the
Democratic county central committee,

O o. Ellingson for sheriff is also
a candidate for a second term, as he
is now Serving out his first term. No
one denies that Ole has made fine
officer; he is honest, economical
with county money, keeping expens-
es down as low as possible. and his
record has been clean all through.
He is a Winneshiek County product,
being born in Pleasant township and
Winneahiek has always been his
home. For some six years before his
election to the sheriff's Office he was
employed as hog buyer for the Farm
ers' Cooperative Society in Decorah,
and he handled the business in such
an honest, STRAIGHTFORWARD manner
that every man who ever dealt with
him was given a square deal. Homes
'ty in all matters, whether public or
private has been his motto and he
has honorably stood by it. His con
duct of the sheriff's office for the
past two years proves that. He has
performed his duties we'll, and 1t is
difficult to find man who is better
liked or more highly respected than
Mr.. Ellingson, and we bespeak his
recollection with good majority.
Vote for o. o. Ellingson for sheriff.

are not enough figures yet made to
tell the story, but in any event beat
ing Haugen has been a great but
hopeless game up in the fourth for
10, these many years. Carl Evans,
democrat, is trying it this year. He
is going about the district so the
people can see how good timber he
is and his campaigners are going
about telling how bad lumber his
his opponent is and Mr.. Haugen COR
tinues to saw wood. His straight re-
publican record helps him. He is
ranking member of the committee on
agriculture in the national house and
will get the craftsmanship when the
republicans organize the new cham-
ber in March 1917"
Mr.. Evans is touring the-district
and is obessed with the belief that
he is going to be elected. Announce
ments featuring his life history is
published in the papers. Mr.. Evans
is a victim of his own misplaced con-
fidence. After the votes are counted
in November, his obituary will read,
"snowed under anywhere from 5000
to 10000"
Mr.. Haugen has a grip on the
Fourth district that cannot be shak-
en- off. He is a hard man to down
| N ic for
democrat, and it would be an up
hill job for a republican to dislodge
him from his congressional seat. His
record in congress is very credita-
BILE one and he is tireless and hard
working member. His long service
and experience in legislation gives
him prestige and influence that is of
estimable value to the district and
state. Those who disagree with Mr..
Haugen on matters personal, do not
dispute this fact.
The man that gets Gilbert Haug-
ems political scalp dangling at his
belt will have to be considerably
shrewder and smarter than our con-
gressman-and they are mighty
scarce. Mr.. Evans might as we'll stay
at home, save his time and wasted
energy. Mr.. Haugen has got too
many friends and elements of
strength to be easily downed. Then.
too, this is presidential year and re-
publicans are not going to be led of
as they were in 1912 to their sorrow.

Candidate for Governor.
100000 votes and carried eighty
seven out of the ninety-four counties
of the state.
This result can have but one mean
ing. The republican voters of Iowa,
having watched Harding for ten
years, were convinced that he could
be trusted. His record in the house
and the senate proved that he was
qualified to occupy the governors
chair. No man can serve ten years
before the public, receive the over
whelming vote accorded to Harding
in the primary, and still be the bad
man as depicted by the band of crit
les who are determined to wreck the
Republican party of Iowa.
Harding is not a bOoze-hghter.
This has been proven. His private
life is clean, despite the efforts of
his enemies to prove it otherwise. He
is a big, well-balanced, broadmind-
ed statesman, who will concentrate
every effort, if elected, to give the
people of Iowa an honest and eff
cient administration as governor.
