MAKE 1T SENATOR BARR,

The Democrat urges all voters of
Delaware and Buchanan counties to
consider carefully the candidacy of
Robert Barr for the office of state SEN
ator.
Iowa needs in the legislature level
headed, honest men of business ex-
perience. Mr.. Barr fully meets these
requirements. He is a man of sterling
character and sound business judg-
ment and if elected will make a very
useful member of the senate. Mr..
Barr is we'll known in Delaware Coun-
ty where he has lived all his life. By
industry and careful management he
acquired sufficient fortune to allow
him to retire from active work. He
will, If elected, be free to devote his
entire time to the discharge of the
duties of his office and we highly
recommend him to the voters of this
senatorial district.

JOHN D. SMITH.
Democratic Candidate for Supervisor,
for term Commencing Janu-
- ary I, 1918.

One of the most important offices to
be filled at the coming election is that
of supervisor, Some Of the qualifica-
tfons for the Office are knowledge Of
public affairs. experience in handling
men and property, upright honesty,
and mature years. Mr.. John d Smith
of Hopkinton, the Democratic candi-
date possesses these qualifications.
He was born near Hopkinton, of Ger
man parentage, fifty-six years ago.
He was successful farmer and re-
tired with a competence two years
ago to the town of Hopkinton. In
past years South Fork township has
been strongly republican, but for nine
years Mr.! Smith held the office of
township trustee, which shows the es-
TEEN in which he is held by those who
know him best His past record is
sufficient guarantee that if elected the
funds of Delaware county will be used
not only legally but wisely. He is
making no promises SO there will be
no political debts to pay nor friends to
favor in letting contracts or settling
for them. -a-.-.

WILLIAM PERRY LEE,

William Perry Lee was born in Mad
ison county, Ohio, on the 5th of Jan
uary, 1850. He came with his par
ents, John and Hanna Lee, to Iowa
when but three months old, locating
on a farm just east of the present
town of Dundee. On September Goth,
1859, he was united in marriage with
Miss Isabelle Coonrod and to them
were born nine children, seven sons
and two daughters, of whom three
sons and the two daughters survive
him. The surviving children are John
of Lamont; Grover of Strawberry
Point; Thomas of Thorpe; Mrs. Jen-
ME Daisy of Thorpe, and Mrs. Ida
Cherry of Lamont. Besides the child
ren named, and the bereaved wife,
there remain to mourn his departure,
two sisters. Mrs. Lydia Lett and Mrs
Allie Neal of Delhi, and an only broth
er, John P. Lee of Thorpe; also ten
grand children, and one great great
grand child and other relatives.
For a number of years following
his marriage he lived near Edgewood
and from there they moved to farm
southwest of Lamont, where they re-
sided for fifteen years. Four years
ago they located in a beautiful little
farm house two miles southeast of
Thorpe, where they have since lived
happily.
Some twelve months ago Mr.. Lee
was stricken with cancer, from which
he suffered constantly until death re-
leased him last Wednesday evening
at half past nine o'clock.

HON. JAMES C. MURTAGH FOR con.
GRESS.

Hon. James c. Murtagh, Of Water
loo, the democratic candidate for con-
gress in this district is in every way
worthy Of the position to which he
aspires. 1t is no easy job for any man
to overcome the large normal repub-
lican majority and particularly this
year against Congressman Sweet, who
has served one term and is now a can
didate for reelection.
In the candidacy OF Mr.. Murtagh,
the democrats have, however, put
forward their best material. He is
fully up to the standard Of men who
sit in congress and this district would
have reason to feel proud of their
representative if Mr.. Murtags were
elected.

ipate in Coming Election. Boys
Are Properly Cared For.

Writing to friends in Manchester
a member of Company "H' 1. N. G..
relates number of incidents of camp
life which are of interest to our read
ers.
"Our camp was recently visited by
severe wind and sand storm and we
are still shaking the sand out of our
clothes.
percy Walker and Burr Finch have
been busy lining up a foot ball team,
which played team made up Of Du
buque boys. Our team beat Dubuque
to 6. 1t was fine game and our
boys surely played wonderful game,
considering that some of them had
never had any experience. The Du-
buque team has several members who
have played on college teams before.
"There is something interesting 60
ing on all the time to take up our
spare time. ] have just witnessed
Polo game played by the New York
Millionaire team against the crack
team of Fort Brown. The latter won
out by score of to 5. 1t was
great game. Following the Polo game
there was dress parade by the New
York Cavalry. There is always some-
thing going on to take up our time.
Arrangements are being made for
lis to vote on November 7th, ana
there surely is lot of excitement;
some yelling for Hughes and some
for Wilson. The boys have all read
in The Democrat the announcement
of their old friend, Robert Barr, demo-
cratic candidate for Stale Senator, and
all the boys claim that he is some
politician, ind wish him success.
"The Con1pany's zoo now consists
Of a parrot possum, pup bull dos and
rattle snake. We are still looking for
new specimens.
"We are kept busy drilling and TAX
ing long hikes. When we are not busy
doing that we are on guard.
Sunday is our day Of rest, and we
have field service, at $50, when we
hear some excellent talks. After that
our time is taken up with band con-
certs, baseball games, and polo games.
I'VE surely can't complain OF our
eats for we are well fed and get
plenty Of it.
"We noticed in The Democrat that
snow flurries had visited that section.
Our friends from the North should fol-
low the course Of the migratory birds,
which are coming here in large num-
bers now. The temperature here reg
listers around 80 degrees all the time,
and it seems funny to read about
snow"

long-range weather forecaster, died at
his home in West St Louis, on Octo.
Der 18th. 1916, OF pneumonia aged
nearly 72 years. The current number
of Word and Works has the follow
ing to say of Mr.. Hicks: D.
Early in his ministry Prof. Hicks
began his study of meteorology, pub
fishing storm chart showing his dis
covery Of the periodicity of storm
development, often telling his parish
toner's from his pulpit what to expect
in the way of near future weather
His first thought however, was not to
foretell weather conditions, but to seek
for the source of the incalculable
power manifested everywhere in ma
ture, and he firmly believed to his
last day that this would sometime be
found and utilized by the race. He
often declared that, at present rates
the worlds fuel supply would be burn
ed out within thousand years, and
the race and it's civilization die unless
some means of supplying heat, light
and power without burning fuel, were
found. Soon after the projection of
Word and Works, he gave up his work
in the ministry, and devoted all his
time and energy to study. and the

his Almanac In 1894 his first Alma
nae came out, and in it he outlined
his theories in an article entitled

HOT CONTEST FOR SUPERVISOR

The hottest political scrap in local
circles is that between F. A. Mead, and
Conrad Wendell. Mr.. Mead, the pres
ent incumbent has held the Office two
terms and his opponent thinks that is
enough.
Mr.. Wendell was narrowly defeated
by Mr.. Mead in the primary election
as an Independent candidate.
Mr.. Mead's name will appear on the
ballot in the republican column and
Mr.. Wendels in the last column to
the right. There being no democratic
candidate for this office the democrat
ic vote in this contest may prove de-
CiSiye of it.
