TWO VOTES.

One of the best little indications of
the litt4eness of Harding is found in
a comparison of his votes on the law
of 1907, which barred saloons from
Iowa military reservations, and on the
1--we Mile limit bill of 1911.
The first bill was measure to
prohibit saloons in the vicinity of FIT.
Des Moines, military post. 1t was
designed to prevent carOusing and
dissipation on the part of the United
States troops.
The other was measure to pre-
vent the sale and manufacture of
liquor in Iowa City, where saloons
and breweries flourished within a
stones throw of the campus
Harding voted to protect the
adult soldiers from the temptations
Of the open saloon.
He voted, on the contrary, to pre-
serve the brewers their right to
flaunt their products before the eyes
of the young and to some extent I'M
sophisticated students of the state
university.
Why! Only a very few saloons
were affected by the first bill, and the
liquor interests did not oppose it..
The second bill was considered a big
step toward prohibition, and affected
big liquor interests.
Why, Mr.. Harding, did you vote
against selling booze to soldiers, but
in favor of making it's sale conven-
lent to university students?

MORE WHISkEY LIES NAILED.

AS reports have been circulated in
this and other neighborhoods regard
ing Mr.. E. T. Meredith to the effect
that he was a user of whiskey, kept it
in his house, or cellar, we wrote him
asking him for plain statement COW
ering the rumors and received the
following letter which, as will be
seen, is straightforward and without
equivocation.
All sorts of slanderous reports are
being circulated by the ex-saloon-
brewer element without regard to
party for they are against him wheth-
err they are republicans or democrats.
Beware of these and all other dis
reputable reports, that are being cir
culated, not especially to injure the
man, but to boost one whom the
liquor interests esteem as their friend
and who has never failed them when
in danger.
Heman C. Smith.
The letter follows:
Mr.. Heman G. Smith,
Lamont, Iowa.
My Dear Mr. Smith:
In answer to the many false stories
that are being circulated, you may
say for me to your friends, that / do
not keep it in my house, nor serve it
at my table, have no wine cellar and
never have habitat l have never
signed saloon petition, never have
made overtures to saloon men to sup
port me at any time for anything.
1t seems to me that the best proof
of this is the fact that every brewer
and ex-saloon-keeper in the state of
Iowa is against me; if they did not
realize the truth of the things that l
have stated above, l would be getting
some of their support; and that ought
to be proof enough of the untruth of
the stories that are being circulated.
l thank you for bringing this mat
ter to my attention, and am very
glad indeed to have this opportunity
to refute these falsehoOds
With kindest regards, am
Sincerely yours,
E. T. Meredith.

THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY
TICKET.

The voters of Decatur county nev-
er had better list of candidates for
the various county Offices to select
from than the democratic candidates
presented this year. Each and every
one of them is worthy of your sup
port and vote. We have presented
their names to you before and you
are familiar with what offices they
seek We do not have to make any
apologies for single one of them.
They were nominated by majority
votes at the June primaries and they
are going to be elected at the polls
a week from next Tuesday. Look the
list over and you cannot find a single
one whom you should not be proud
to have voted for, and they will
prove worthy of your support

ELECTION NO MENACE TO PROS
PERITY WAVE.
Republican Banker Says Americas
Boom Will COntinue-RecOrtls
Smashed on Pacific Coast.

The volume of business that al
ready is swapping many Chicago
houses will be increased after the
presidential election no matter who
is elected, according to circular is
sued last week by the National City
Bank of Chicago, of which David K.
Forgan is president Forgan is a re-
publican and an ultra-conservative in
financial and political matters. The
bank has discovered that the country
had little time to talk politics.
THE American people generally
are enjoying prosperity upon scale
which the country has never seen be-
fore,' is one declaration in the state
ment.
1T is probable that a great deal of
increased business will be given out
after the election is held. This will
apply whatever the outcome of the
election itself, since in presidential
years a great volume of business is
usually held back until the contest
has been decided. The campaign it.
self, however, has had almost no eff
fent upon general business this year.
1t has been conducted in orderly way
and without the excitement which Of
ten unsettles general trade at a time
when a president is being voted for. -
"All previous records for total re-
sources for the San Francisco branch
of the Federal Reserve Bank" said
the San Francisco journal of Com
merce," September 23rd, have been
smashed by the statement issued to-
day as for the close of business for
the week ending last night. The total
resources in the statement issued to-
day are $34,942,000. This is an in
crease of $432,O00 over last week
and almost a million over the week
BEFORE"

HOW 1T WAS DONE.

Nobody accuses Mr.. Skinner of in
competence in office. The one and all
sufficient fact which no amount of
Jogging and fussing and classifying
concerning things that have no bear
ing on the present issues, can cover
up that one fact, Union county and
Creston politics have been corrupt
and Mr.. Skinner has been the leading
parsonage, the stcersman, the pro-
moter, the director. The fact that
he was not in Office all the time is
the more proof, he had selecting of
officials and with Mr.. Fitzsimmon's
assistance, the electing. of his and
their mutual selections.
Promoting and directing was his
business. The public purse and the
political pie appointments We're his
quest.
He sought and found-so did the
public after long, long time

To the Voters Of tho 9th Senatorial
District of Iowa.

MY attention has been called to a
communication in the interest of Mr..
SINNERS candidacy for senator, from
Adam Pickett, of Creston, and ap-
pearing in the Mt. Ayr Record-News
and other papers of the district, in
which it is said: He (Mr. Skinner)
will also see to it in the distribution
of new state buildings, in case nor
NAL schools are established; also in
the matter of distributing political
plums, and that this senatorial dis
trict receives it's full share. - He
is diplomat"
Mr.. Pickett is employed by the
school board of which Mr.. Skinner is
a member and the article from which
we quote indicates that he and Mr..
Skinner are politically and otherwise
intimately associated, and l have a
right to assume he speaks with
authority as to Mr.. SINNERS attitude
on public questions. believe such
a statement from candidate for pub
lie Office violates the spirit if not the
letter of Section 1134a of the 1913
Supplement to the Code of Iowa,
which was enacted to prevent corrupt
practices in elections, which section
is as follows: promise of position
prohibited-1t shall be unlawful for
any candidate for any Office to be vot-
ed for at any primary, municipal or
general election, prior to his nomina-
ton or election, to promise, either
directly or indirectly, to support or
use his influence in behalf of any per-
son or persons for any position, place
or office, or to promise directly or in
directly to name or appoint any per-
son or persons to any place, position
or office, in consideration of any per-
son or persons supporting him or US
ing his, her or their influence in Sc
curing his or her nomination, election
or appointment
l wish to say to the good people
of this senatorial district that l
would not knowingly permit sup
porter of mine to make such pledge
to induce people to vote for me. If l
am elected, ! will be interested solely
in representing the moral and tinan-
cial welfare of the farming, laboring
and business interests of this district
and will not act as political broker
or huckster for the purpose of dis
pensing patronage among the politici-
ans and office seekers who are hungry
for political plums.
AS | started late in the campaign,
have not been able to meet as many
of the voters as l should have liked,
but l have been greatly encouraged
over the support l have received and
l wish to make this personal request
to all my friends and supporters to
take an active part in my campaign.
=
support l ask your help from now
until the polls close on election day
and assure you l greatly appreciate
what has so far been done in my be-
half.
Yours very truly,

Congressman Littlepage and Nicely
appeared today before the House COM
mittee on postal affairs to advocate a
favorable report on the Griffin bill.
This bill proposes to grant an indef-
mite leave Of absense to all postal
employees under the civil service who
ar incapacitated by illness or physical
or mental inability to do their work.
The law now in force allows thirty
days vacation and thirty days sick
leave. and II an employee Is incapac-
itated by illness beyond sixty days he
loses his position. The department
has heretofore taken upon itself dis
cretionary powers which the law does
not allow. rs an example day before
yesterday there was dropped from the
postal service West virginian, who
resides in the First congressional dis
trict. who has been kept on the rolls
for two years without being able to
work. He was injured in train
wreck while in the discharge Of his
