Independent Candidate Delegate Constitutional Convention
Election November 4th.

Each qualified male voter of the
district is entitled to vote for either
one or two delegates as be pleases;
but cannot vote more than one vote
for any one candidate. There are
two Republicans, one Democratic
and two Socialist candidates, and
myself as Independent candidate.
While each candidate runs under
some party name. It is manifest
that the election is. in fact, entirely
non-partisan. There are no party
issues at stake.
"Sitting On The Lid"
Messrs. Dietz and Carlstrom, tho
successful Republican candidates,
combined together TO secure the
nomination at the primary. So far
as could learn, neither OF these
gentlemen, before the primary,
gave any public expression of the
views they entertained as to what
they would do in this convention.
After the primary, Mr. Carlstrom,
in a public speech in the city OF
Moline, expressed his views in part
as follows, viz:
Time and the natural operation
of the law of supply and demand
will remedy the iniquities OF today,
and not legislation. d" II is more
important to think about what
ought not to go in the constitu
ton than to think about injecting
remedial legislation. - The only
pledge ! am going to make is that
l am going to sit on the lid as hard
as l can"
From Mr.. Dietz' combination
with Mr.. Carlstrom, and the fact
that the same interests got behind
both their candidates., II may be
safely assumed that both these

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Telling the audience that there
is something more expected of
those who follow Jesus Christ than
is expected of those who do not
pretend to follow Him. Billy Sun
day yesterday afternoon told just
what is meant when those who pro-
TESS him were told to follow in his
steps. 1T is what do you more
than others, and not what you don't
do that others do" he said.
How far you go with Jesus de-
ponds a great deal on what you
start out to take with you. If you
begin by carrying out the cards aud
other things which you enjoyed
when you did not belong with Jesus
followers you won't get very far
with Him. can tell you that"
He urged the necessity of going
all the way and going in the way
that Jesus wants one to go, not the
way one wants to go himself.
Each one must deny himself some
thing, say no to the flesh where
yes would hurt Jesus. Everyone
has to make the decision to follow
once for, all, and for all time.
After you make this decision
one can find out what is wanted,
Don't try to follow Jesus Christ
when you are following a doubtful
path" said Mr.. Sunday. "Christ's
life is an example of what is ex-
pected> of a true follower. When he
left people they were better than
they were before he knew them and
came in contact with theme That's
what you should do, leave people
better off for knowing you, and
help them to find the way you are
following SO that they too can enjoy
your blessings"

Spencer Memorial Methodist church

gentlemen sustain the same views.
1t is because l think such views
should not prevail in this district,
that ! am running as an Indepeud-
ent candidate ! am profoundly
convinced that our constitution
needs change. / do not believe that
the natural laws Of supply and de-
Enand will remedy the Industrial

The church Of God forbids danc-

raised up by God for the very pur-
pose of counteracting dancing.
Not everybody that plays cards

Dance Society Dry-ROt.
oh, in my opinion, the dance is
the dry-rot OF society. In the ball
room liberties are taken that you
dare not take anywhere else and
under any circumstances or condi-
tons; If you did they would be suf-
ficient grounds for divorce. The
swinging of the corners and the
square dances bring the position o.
the bodies in such attitude that ii
isn't tolerated in decent society.
Now, regarding the public dance
hear mei-~to the public dance
can be traced the downfall Of most
girls The probation officers around
this country tell me that there is
where the majority of them start.
And if parents only knew the dan
gers that they are exposing their
daughters to by allowing them to
dance, they'd keep them away from
these dances where they mingle
with older and more experienced
girls whose ways they try to imi-
tate. And there they meet young
fellows and they drink, and they
will put dope in their drink and
when the girl awakens in the morn
ing she finds herself possessed of
secrets that no girl ought ever to
know outside Of her legal MAJ
riage.
Oh, they go away from God, and
yet they think because l stand UP
to defend the virtue of the girl
from the subtle influence of the
dance that I am vulgar. Oh, there
are a lot of people, you turn them
loose and they will do anything:
when they stop doing that, then I'll
stop preaching about these things,
take it from me. That's my mis-
sion in life, that's what I'm trying
to do with all the power that I
have in the world.
