Question for Voters is. Can

WASHINGTON. u. c., Oct 10
Whether President Wilson and Secre'

Candidate for Reelection.

Elsewhere in today's paper ap-
pears the announcement of Rube Nc
Ferren as candidate for re-nomina-
ton on the republican ticket as a
member OF the legislature from Ham
ilton county. Mr.. McFerren has
served one term in the general as
sembly and is ready and anxious to
go before the people upon the record
made. He is a man Of progressive
ideas and is in favor of, doing. every
thing possible for the up-building OF
the state. The report circulated by
his enemies that he is opposed to
good roads Is false, as his record
abundantly proves. Why, when he
lived with his father upon the farm
he donated week after week of work,
which cost nobody cent, in the i'm
provement of the public highway
known as the White Fox road, which
has been recognized for years as the
best road leading out of Webster
City, but which at present is in bad
condition because 1T has not been
properly attended to. He is oppos-
I to graft and extravaganza in road

Mr.. McFerren is opposed to good

IN the last, legislature Mr.. McFerren
favored the Johnson bill in the

has been under consideration from

the line down through Dayton would
thus coordinate the whole system,

bush is we'll known throughout the

gineer and a contractor of public
works he has had much business
with county boards and understands
the problems with which they are
confronted. Mr.. Quackenbush is a
man of convictions and has the cour-
age to stand for the things in which
he believes. He owns two good
farms in this supervisorial district
and is as much interested in the
welfare of the district as any man in
it. He is informed upon the value of

get better results for the money ex-
pended in such improvements than
we have been getting in the past.
Mr.. Quackenbush says he does not
