REVIEW WILL
HELP M'MANUS
ponnellson Editor is Dispieasec With
Kopp and VIII Give
Support to Demo-
n crat

DONNELLSON, Iowa, July Sine
Donnellson Review, stalwart republl-
can newspaper, has bolted Kopp FOR
congress and is outspoken in its sup
port of Ed McManus, the democratic
nominee. ....... ... ......-.... ,.., ..-.a
In its current issue the Review says
that it prefers to support "a clean.
capable and conservative candidate
for congress on the democrtic ticket
rather than radical, rancorous, re-
yengeful, reviling republican, nomi-
mated by, methods which bring re-
proach upon the party
The Review says further:
Some say it cant be did The
vote of 1918 was not normal vote,
and it is not as good for comparison
as the 1916 vote In that year Ken
nedy received total vote OF 2O,42l,
Whitaker, 14,276; Kennedy's plural
fty, 6,145. Lee, Des Moines and Van
Buren, counties gave Kennedy a com
bined vote of 11,131, over half his
total vote. These same counties gave
Whitaker, the democratic candidate,
a combined vote of 8,49S. In 1913
Kennedy lost in Des Moines county,
which is normally democratic. There
Us little question but what DeS MONIES
and Lee will both; give McManus a
large majority this year. With some
good work done in Van Buren,, that
county can be swung in to the demo
cratic column, on congressman, as
We know there is a strong feeling
over there over the manner in which
Kopp captured the nomination. Add
to these the 5,54O democratic votes
cast by the other five counties N
1915 and the election Of McManus
will be assured. ,.-
The probability of electing a demo-
cratic congressman from the first
district, in one sense, is not pleasing
to US, but it is High time to administer
q buke and serve notice on aspiring
politicians that large majority OF
the people do not believe in dirty
nolitics-they are bad enough at their
best-and we know of no better way
of impressing this fact upon their
minds than by defeating for office
any man who resort to questionable
methods of securing a nomination.

WORST NIGHT, ,
FOR FIREMEN
Chief Anderson Figures That Thurs
day Night Takes the Cake for
Severe Storms After TWO
Runs in Downpour.

Runs IN. DoWnPOur. ....
Thursday night was the worst night
in the history of the fire department,
Chief John Anderson said this morn
ing. The chief bases his observations
on years of experience with storms,
and he is certain that the record OF
this week is the worst. ~ z
The rain was being blown so hard
that it was like trying to see through
a wet blanket. The telephone were
practically out of commission and the
gamewell alarm was knocked out.
Altogether the fire department was
having a difficult time of things.
Fortunately there were only two
alarms, but these came at the helghth
of the storm, and gave the men a
taste of the difficulties of navigation
in a hundred mile wind.
"Trees were falling all around u.s.
the chief said. Every time we looked
back we saw tree limbs falling back
of us, and branches were swapping
off and dropping down in front, trees
went over ahead Of us and behind us,
but we were lucky to escape I
. Chief Anderson recalled former
wild nights in the department ms
tory. The worst previous to this was
the night that st. Peters church
steeple was struck, and the roof
blew off the Gibbons opera house.
This was one of the noisfest nights
that the department experienced, pre-.
yious to Thursday nights storm. y
Another bad night was that in Sep
tember 1905, when the Collins-Hea-
slip warehouse was struck by light
ming. Another night was the time
that some stables burned after light
ming struck the barn. All Of these
nights were accounted bad ones and
noisy ones by the department, bur
THURSDAY night carried off all honors.
