KENDALL Will
CLEAN CAPITOL
Republican Candidate for Governor
Says il HOusecleaning is Neces-
sary He Will Do II.
HE WILL TAKE CHAIR
-. FREE FROM OBLIGATIONS
Is the Kind Of Man Who Will Give
Iowa the Best Government of
Any Man Who Ever Sat i'm
Governors Chair.

n. f. Kendall. of Abba, republican
candidate for governor of Iowa, ana
who is well known here, having de-
livered addresses the past year in
Decorah, on a couple OF occasions is
one of Iowa's great men, and q man
of unquestioned integrity and honor,
and We know will be one who will
be a credit to the great state of
Iowa. He is one Of the best orators
in the country, good sound busi-
ness man, and not even suspicion
of any kind has ever been cast ON
him Of being simply politician who
aspires to office to feather his nest at
the expense Of the people by getting
rotten laws passed. Kendall is not
that kind of fellow, he is big,
broad, open and above board and a
man who the people of Iowa can
Justly feel proud in voting for.
Mr.. Kendall recently told large
audiences at Missouri Valley and
Council Bluffs that if houseclean-
ing was necessary at the state house,
he would attend to it after the first
of January.
His exact words were "I am un-
der no obligations for my nominat-
ion to anybody at the state house
connected with or suspected of any
crookedness in the Associated
Packing company or any other con-
cern, but am under a most solemn
contract with the people for an
honest, efficient and economical ad-
ministration.
The new standard Of ethics must
be established which should prohibit
any state employe allowing the use
Of his. name to forward any promote
ion scheme to pfunder the people and
disgrace the state and one OF the first
duties of my administration will be
to secure an amendment to this
blue sky and Peterson laws, which
should fully protect the innocent in
vestor and penaIize by penitentiary
punishment the sharper who sought
20 defraud him.
ANY man in public position
who has prostituted his office for
personal gain must be Immediately
scourged from the public service.
Whatever housecleaning is nec-
essary will be expeditiously, efflcient-
ly and fearlessly done by the repubil-
can administration after the first Of
next January"

WOMEN SHOULD VOTE FOR OUM-
MINIS.

The right TO strike is not abolish
ed by the Cummins-Esch law.
The Cummins-Esch law provides
that the dispute shall first be con-
sidered by the proper court. Failing
in satisfactory settlement there con-
ditions are precisely as before the ap-
peal to the court. They can strike.
But first the dispute must be con-
sidered by and brought before a
tribunal.
This Cummins-Esch law created
the first government effort to pro-
tect women and children from the
punishment always inflicted upon
them and the family by strikes.
Those who suffer most are the wom-
en- and children.
The votes of women should then
so to the venerable senator who has
assisted in placing this labor cour:
OF equal and justice ahead of the or
canized strike as the first court OF
wage adjustment.

VOTERS DON'T
REGISTER HERE
Applies Only to Cities of COCO Popu-
Iation or Over, % Men and
Women OF Winneshiek Can
Vote Without Regis
tering
WILL THE WOMEN
PAY POLL TAX
Whether Newly Enfranchised Citi-
Dens VIII be Required to Pay
Poll Tax is Question for
Debate

Every qualified woman in Iowa is
now voter. Women may now vote
at the fall election under the same
conditions that apply to men.
There will be no registration of
either men or women voters in De-
corah or Winneshiek county. Regis
tration APPLIES to cities of 5000 and
over In population. Under that figure
there Is no registration required.
To vote in Iowa one must be a
native born or naturalized citizen Of
the United States, must be 21 years
of age or over, must have lived In
the state six months, in the county
sixty days. and in the precinct ten
days At the time OF her marriage a
woman acquires the citizenship OF
her husband.
A. woman need not give her exact
age In registering, according to a
decision by Attorney General II. NJ.
Hayner. All that is required of the
new voter, with reference to stating
her age, is to declare she is past 81
years old. The operation of register
atien Is simple. The citizen goes to
the registration place in her home
precinct, gives the answers to the
questions asked, swears to the truth
of her replies and then signs the
poll book. The registrars ask of the
voter his or her full name, address,
time of residence in the state, county
and precinct, and whether the voter
is Of legal age.
As stated above Decorah or Winnie
shiek county women do not have to
register, we simply give the forego-
ing as the method to be pursued in
places of moro thar 5000 population,
Whether the newly enfranchised
citizens will be required to pay a
poll tax Is question for debate and
probably will not be decided until
an opinion Is rendered Tho law pro-
vides for the payment os a poll tax
by electors under As years OF age
and as the word electors now applies
10 both men and women, the natural
presumption is that women voters
will be required to pay poll tex,
altho the requirements as to stating
age precludes the separation of the
voters under the age OF Az from
those who have passed the age when
the payment Of roll tex y occurred.

Hon. G. N. Haugen, of Northwood,

Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1920-10-27

was opened by County Chairman C.,
N. Houck. who made good talk.
A big crowd was present at the
meeting which qsas a very intersstin :
iIs.e and ,Nr, I1ausen delivered a
mighty fine address that was we'll
received by everybody present.
!. Mr.. Haugen has been chairman of
the committee on agriculture and
has been doing wonderful work for
the farmers of the district. He is n
man who has honest convictions and
he has proven his worth to the peo-
pie. of the district in the years he
has been in congress, and his record
Is as clear as bell.
Mr.. Haugen has done much good
work on his committee which has re-
ported, amended, and had PASSED
more legislation during this congress
in period of 13 months that that
committee has done in the preceding
13 years.
Some of the things done Was a
clause amending the pure food and
drug act so as to require the mark
ing of the net weight on the wrap
ped hams and bacon, which guaran-
tees full weight to the consumer and
obliyiates much deception.
The committee reported amend
ments to the food control act. The
amendments, though temporary
measure, permit collective bargain
ing by any Cooperative association
or other association of farmers,
dairymen, gardeners, or other pro-
ducers of farm products with respect
to the farm products produced or
raised by its members upon land
owned, leased, or cultivated by them,
which relieves farmers from perse-
cution and unwarranted prosecution
so unjustly imposed on them from
coast to coast and probably the
most important clause repealed was
the daylight savings law, which
worked an inconvenience, hardship
and injustice to the farmers and city
people as we'll, was repealed, the re-
peal vetoed by the president and
finally passed over the presidents
veto.
The bill amending the pure food
and drugs act, known as the slack
package bill, so as to prohibit the
use of slack filled or other deceptive
forms of packages, was another bill
put through by Mr. Haugen and his
committee.
The committee reported and had
enacted the Agricultural appropria-
tion bill for 1921, which appropriat-
es $S1.714,7S4 for the Department
of Agriculture. The bill for 1921
eliminated and reduced many use
less appropriations, while, on the
other hand, it increased many items
of Importance under which valuable
work was being done by the depart
ment.
n Mr.. Haugen is man who works
for the interests OF his people, and
he does it in an honest way. He has
hadthe confidence % everybody here

business. and he knows the needs of
the people of this county as well as
any man. II elected he will deliver
his best efforts to meet every issue
fair and square, and work for the

a most valuable man and he has
proven such while he has been in

/ ]. A. Nelson, Winneshiek's popular
county attorney hardly needs an in

and favorably known all over the
county. He is not only mighty good
county attorney, but is fine mar
personally. and square as dollar
and will be accorded a reelection.
| Sheriff o. O. E1iingson. one Of the
best liked men and officials who evel
held the sheriff's office here is tht
republican candidate for sheriff, ant
judging from the comments on
hears Ole will be given the bigges
majority any sheriff ever received, a
