man was peculiar in his demeanol
and was not popular in the COM
munity where he lived. 1t is said.
That he was out of his head and
that deadly fear lowered over him
all thru the six years he resided alone
Is the contention of his neighbors.
A few days before the murder he
went to the bank In Ringsted and
took out some Of his valuable papers.
He feared, he said. that somebody
was after them. He wanted to get in
touch with his son Grant, the man
under arrest, 1t Is said, for the pur-
pose OF getting him to protect the
property.
May Show convicts Killed Him.
There was always an air OF mys-
terry about the old mans movements.
He talked little and never about his
past life. He came to this COM
munity from Joliet, Ill. He. LIVED near
the penitentiary there and often en-
ployed convict labor
It is said he was a hard master.
and that he incurred the enmity Of
some Of these convicts, that some OF
them uttered threats against him.
Many believe that he came here be-
cause OF his fear that these would
be carried out.
A theory which may enter into the
defense OF the son is that one Of
these ex-prison inmates may have
murdered the old recluse, from whom.
1t has been ascertained. no money
was taken after the crime.
The suspicion OF the son was
heightened by his failure to at
tend the funeral Of his father and the
apparent attempt on his part to flee
the state. He was captured at Al
gona. where he. had registered under
an assumed name. This Is one Of
the links In the chain Of circumstan-
tial evidence wound about him.

Aerrjnois Ignorance Revealed.

at all the progressive legislation OF
the past quarter century.
Herring's Ignorance Revealed.
Candidate Herring. handpicked by
the democratic managers and be-
holden to them alone, is out with a
form letter asserting there has been
no change In the states way OF do
Ing business since frontier days"
and that officials have lost or cost
the state vast sums OF money
These two assertions show the utter
ignorance Of their author as to the
best known facts about the state OF
Iowa No state OF the union has
been more forward and progressive
In its legislation affecting all matters
OF public interest than Iowa, and no
state has q cleaner record Of success
fully safeguarding the state finances
and conducting state business In
exact accord with the best business
principles. Assertions to the con-
trary but belle the well, established
record.
The first and only attempt OF Mr..
Herring to support his insinuations
about failure to account OF appro-
priations or properly to use the
money, was with regard to the war
fund. He said there had been no ac-
counting. but in fact the legislature
published a full and complete state
ment OF the use Of that fund. which
publication was easily accessible to
Herring and other democrats.
Mr.. Herring continues to repeat
the most glaring misstatements
about the alleged increase in cost of
the state government, and what he
has said In all his speeches was the
increase In state expenditures in two
years 10 q sum larger than the en-
tire cost of state governmen1 for the
same period. He knows the false
hood he utters but has failed to
make correction.
Herring Humiliatcs Party.
Mr.. Herring's democratic support
ers still continue to claim for him he
is entitled to the votes Of the women
because Of a better record on woman
suffrage; yet they know. and it is
known everywhere. that in 1915, at a
time when Mr.. Kendall was doing
yeoman service for the amendment
then submitted by referendum. Mr..
Herring was contributing his money
and his influence to effect defeat o.
the amendment, and that 1t was the
work of Herring and men like him
that did defeat the amendment In
Iowa.
He printed a poster containing
such ridiculous and inexcusably fool
ish statements regarding the statutes
Of Iowa relating to marriage, inherit
ances and vital statistics. that the
democratic committee was ashamed
to permit their circulation among
decent persons. A few went thru
the mails and the rest were sup
pressed.
He personally employed to stump
for and with: him an embryo re-
former, but when 1t was found that
this ex-preacher was himself guilty
commercial basis and getting fine
salary form sob stories. he was
called off by the committee.
This is only q partial list of the
devious democratic schemes devised
to deceive unwary voters of the
state They have financed a Won
derful campaign OF publicity. They
reached into the Homestead office
and took one who had long been an
editor of that journal to handle their
publicity the way they thought would
be useful this year; yet Herring
claims to be in favor Of decency in
| politics.
