Hon. L. H. Hoyt, of Manchester.
is the republican candidate for cleo
ton to the position of treasurer of the
state of Iowa. Mr.. Hoyt is the pres
ent treasurer and is completing the
UneXpired term of his predecessor.
He is making and admirable treas
urer of state, efficient, wholly trust
worthy, attentive to the duties i'm
posed upon him and bringing to his
" ork experience of many years along
banking and financial lines. We who
know Mr.. Hoyt know that Iowa has
never had more dependable, up
right officer, nor has it ever been
represented in official life by 4 man
of higher type of character and pur-
pose. When We say this we are simp-
ly stating the truth. The circum-
stances under which he assumed
Office and the integrity of the SER
vice he has rendered entitle him. in
all fairness, to an unopposed nomi-
ration and election, and it will be
the judgment of the people If the
state, We have no doubt. that any
attempt to defeat him for purely
political or partisan reasons would
be an injustice to a capable and
generous-minded official. The De-
corah Public Opinion hopes ard be-
lieves that this view will be taken
by the republicans of Iowa, whose
motive is to deal fairly with the
men who represent the state IN the
public service.
The affairs of the state treasurer's
Office have never been In more
sound or satisfactory condition, and
the work progresses smoothly and
without friction Mr.. Hoyt's candid
acy will appeal, We are sure, to
those voters who recognize honest,
upright service when they see It,
and his nomination and election are
as certain as any political event can
we'll be.
Mr.. Hoyt was a Dccorah visitor
Monday and many of our people had
the pleasure of meeting him and all
speak very highly Of him. y.a

Decorah's Excellent Home Talent.

The Civic Club in conjunction with
Manager Relf of the Star put on a
very high class home talent enter
tainment Monday evening at the
Star. The Club advertised the fact
that something good would be given
and they didn't dissapoint. The
artists were Skinny" Larson OF
Luther College, who rendered a
couple of high class dialect recitat-
ions as an opener and they were
regular ones too. The next number
was Miss Marjorie Tracy, represent
ing "a French girl, who sang most
delightfully."- a couple of French
songs. The third number was Alex
ander Mazone, visitor here that
day in conection with the bankers
convention. He is hired by the bank
ers to entertain and he volunteered
bis services as a singer and dancer
and an accordian player and his
work was much enjoyed.
One of the big hits of the evening
vas our esteemed Celt, Larry Keefe
who delighted the audience with a
string of Irish anectodotes, told in a
way that only Larry can tell them
Besides the jokes he cracked, he
was made up to look like an Irish.
nan. but the makeup was not neces-
sary because it would have been
hard for him to even try to disguise
the fact that he wasn't Irish.
A ladies" quartette that had
some real class was composed o.
Messrs. Hartwig Renaas, Norman
Lee, Walter Strand and Lester Nc.
Cauley. and they We're high class
with a capital C in songs that took
the boys breath away.
The entertainment concluded with
Geo. Baker and his wonderful dog
Ranger in tricks that We're astound-
ing. Ranger is regular fellow and
can do everything it seems, but talk.
1t was great act and we are think
ing George and Ranger could go
cut on big vaudeville stuff and make
a barrel Of coin.

Decorah Man Back From Big Con.
ference in Washington.

One of the most prominent men
who are out for the Office of railroad
commissioner is C. E. Doak Of De-
corah.
Mr.. Doak IS undoubtedly one of the
best informed men on railroad and
traffic affairs in the state and has
been closely in touch with matters
along this line for several years. At
present his work as traffic man
fer the Adams Seed Company Of De-
corah requires the constant study OF
railroad shipping facilities.
The past week Mr.. Doak has been in
Washington, ID. c., representing the
North Iowa Traffic Association in a
freight rate case before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
This freight rate case is one that
was started last summer when north
ern Iowa shippers met and organized
an association to try to get an equit-
able freight rate for the northern
part of the state, it being shown very
clearly that this section OF the state
was Disseminated against in a
shameful way In favor of shippers
OF the central and southern part Of
tee state. An effort is being made to
get another river crossing at Nc
Gregor or somewhere north Of the
present crossing AT caYsun1h Tns
freight rate is based on the Mississippi
river crossing which makes the
principal discriminating point against
northern Iowa.
Mr.. Doak is informed on this mat
ter as we'll as many other important
traffic matters and it is mainly thro
his efforts that the case was brought
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
He is real man for the job and
northern Iowa people should make
1t point to see that he is given all
possible support in his campaign for
the office. His efforts in behalf OF
the shippers and those receiving ship
ments from the eastern markets are
Deserving of recognition especially
from the people of the northern Sec
ton of the state.

VS.. Jerome Huber, an action for di-
vorce. The parties are from Spill
Vile.
Later-Since the above was writer.
the divorce case came to a close and
Judge Taylor denied the motion for
a divorce.
The judge will also hear a motion
for a new trial in the case of John
Bollinger VS.. DR.. j. J. Daily,
Another matter to be taken up by
the judge is to hear a motion for
taxation Of mileage of witnesses
This is a matter that came up in the
case of Gaul VS.. Erickson. where
witnesses came from Colorado. The
law allows mileage up to 100 miles
This matter has to be settled in
figuring a judgment for costs against
Gaul.
