Minnewaukan Judge Holds Court on
Depot Platform

A mail clerk on the train running
south from MinneWaukan, Benson
county, got into fight with the post
master of one Of the stations south
of that city and being in the govern
ment service could not be arrested as
long as he was on the train. The
sheriff interviewed him at Minnewau-
kan and the clerk agreed to return to
Minnewaukan to appear for trial, but
when he reached Leeds, the end of his
run, he found the snow so deep that
no auto would take him to Minnewau-
kan. He telephoned the sheriff to this
effect. County Judge 0. D. Comstosk
at Minnewaukan took his testimony
over the phone, as well as the testi-
mony Of the complaining witness, and
met the train at Minnewaukan next
day. The Judge opened court on the
depot platform, the clerk standing in
the door of the mail car, being SEN
fenced to pay a fine of SIS for assault
and battery.

BIG BALLOT may
CONFUSE VOTERS
Contains Six Tickets and One Col
umn With Names of Inde-

TICKETS
AGAIN TO THE FORE
Restoration of Circle Makes Possible
Voting Of Straight Party Ticket
Without Wasting Time to
Mark Each Candidate

It's a big ballot which will be
handed to the voter on election day
Nov. when they appear at the polls
to execute their right of franchise.
The sample ballot for the election
has been, certified to County Auditor
Oscar Winger by Secretary of State
Walter c. Ramsay and it shows six
tickets in the field, republican, demo-
crat, socialist, farmer labor, social
ist-labor and prohibition with a
seventh column headed independent.
under which such candidates as are
running Independently will be listed.
The restoration of the circle to the
ballot this year is giving rise to more
or less inquiry concerning the voting
with this new provision. The voter
can now mark the circle at the head
of his ticket and then jump over to
some other ticket and make a cross
in front of the candidates names he
wishes to vote for without inyali-
dating his ticket.
Under the old law when the circle
was on the ballot the voter whd
marked the circle at the top of his
ticket could not further mark his
ticket without invalidating it.
Those who have officially made up
the ticket this year see possibility
Of an error in voting for judges of
the supreme court. There are three
Judges to elect so the voter is 10 vote
for three. If man voting the re-
publican ticket, for example, marks
the circle at the top of his ballot,
and then scratches his ticket on
supreme court judge, he must mark
the square opposite each candidate
Tor supreme Judge he wishes to vote
for. The cross at the top of the ballot
will not be sufficient If the voter
scratches the supreme court candi-
dates, as there will be no way judges
can tell which three men the voter is
voting for unless he marks cross in
front of each candidate.
Except for this possible oversight
on the part of the voter the ballot
while long, ought not to be confus-
Tag.

No Cheap Treats for Women Voters.

No Cheap Treats for Women Voters.
What will candidates give the
women voters that will correspond
to the cigars they pass out to the
men? asks Editor Crawford of the
New Hampton Gazette.
This will be a hard problem be-
cause the women are not going to be
as we'll satisfied with nickle' S
worth of candy as the men are with
? cigar.
the more you will feel that, after all,
women have better judgment in
some things than men have.
You positively cannot imagine a
candidate trying to make himself
solid with woman on scent ex-
penditure.
A woman is a natural born bar7
gain hunter. When il was only her
husbands vote that was sought, she
was mildly pleased to have the vote
hunter kiss the baby. But now she
has, vote, and baby-kissing does
not loom very big as thing of val
ue in exchange for vote. Wgr

REPUBLICANSW WILL
Win IN IOWA
Cummins and Kendall Will be Given
Old Time Republican Majorities
They are Good Men and
True
HARDING WILL BE
THE NEXT PRESIDENT
Attack on Senator Cummins viii
Fall Flat. The Nation Needs
Such Man at Present
Time

The one conspicuous issue in Iowa
clearly understood by everyone who
is fighting the Republican ticket
under whatever guise, is easily
Understood.
Warren G. Harding will be the
next president 1t is conceded.
Congress will have a good Re-
publican majority in the House.
The Senate has one Republican
majority; the Democrats hope to
wipe it out and deadlock the ad-
ministration, for four years so that
none of the republican program for
restoration Of constitutional rights
can be effected.
What'll Iowa do?
1t relates not only to the Senator
ship but to the Goyernorship and the
whole ticket.
Every Iowa man and woman who
relieves the republican party is
best fitted to direct the affairs of the
nation, will vote the whole republi-
can ticket. There can be no half way
place. 1t is America first, with Sena-
tor Harding; or America not at all,
with Gov. Cox and those who nomin-
sted him.
The president wrecked his own
league says VIM. III. Taft. "He
wrecked it with Article X. of which
he is the author The League to
Enforce Peace, of which I was
chairman, had no Article X in its
proposition. The stubborness of the
president in refusing to accept in
dorsement by the senate of the
league covenant without Article X
defeated the treaty. Now Mr.. Cox has
swallowed Article x and declares
as sehief executive he will not ap-
prove the league without it, With
Mr.. Cox we shall get no league, for
even if the democrats elected every
senatorial candidate which they have
in the field, they would not have
enough to carry the league without
reservations"
If anybody asks you, tell them the
truth about the Cummins railroad
hill, namely, that it does not guar
antee the railroads anything, it
only guarantees the shipper against
cxtortion. it does not give the rail.
roads large sums of money. it does
not authorize a profit On watered
stock, it does not permit considera-
tion of watered stocks or any other
kind of stocks in fixing the value NJ
the property. it does compel rail-
roads to Jointly use trackage and
cars, it does absolutely forbid stock
lwatering, it does not outlaw strikes,
it does not even make conspiracies
to interrupt traffic crime, it does
Iprovide a labor board to settle labor
disputes and this board is working
in a satisfactory way. Those who are
RAISING around the falsehoods about
the law know better, but are des
perately anxious to handcuff a re-
publican president by a democratic
senate.
