DESERVED TRIBUTES

"The Prohibition movement has pro-
duced four great personalities-The
bald Mather, John b. Cough, Francis
E. Willard and John @. Woolley."
John G. Woolley stands in the
front rank of the worlds great advo-
Gates of the Temperance Reform. He
is born orator, and this means more
than being a polished speaker, al
though he is that too, for he possesses
that God-given power to stir the
hearts. awaken the consciences and
compel conviction in the minds of his
hearers There is more religion in
his speeches, Notwithstanding their
quaint humor and racy wit, than in
many sermons, and his merciless logic
leaves the shuffler no hole through
which to crawl.-Secretary New Zea-
land Alliance (under whose auspices
Mr.. Woolley campaigned in New Zea-
land when making his tour ot the
world in the interest of Temperance
Reform).
Mr.. Woolley will address mass
meeting in the Methodist Episcopal
church on Thursday evening, Noyem-
ber 4th. The public is cordially in
vited to attend the meeting. No adj
mission charged.

TEND MEETING.

A mass meeting for the purpose
of making the final arrangements for
a real ball club for Manchester for
next year, is to be held at the Armory
on Tuesday evening, November 9th,

base ball fan be at the meeting. Other
towns in northeastern Iowa have their
organizations perfected, the necessary
fund raised, and some have even hired
their teams. Manchester should have a
good, live team, and be in line with
the other wide-awake towns of this
part of the state.

PRIDE WINS RACE FOR SHERIFF

On this page appears q table

President. u. S. Senator, Cover
nor and Sheriff. The figures civ
en- are unofficial, but will be
found to be approximately cor
rect. In view Of the enormous
vote cast all over the country it
is impossible at this time to give
even an approximately correct
summary Of the vote in the var
ious states. An Overwhelming
landslide, however, has probably
CARED practically every north
ern and western state into the
Republican column, as well as
several of the doubtful border
: states.
While accurate reports from
the various states are not yet
available, a landslide of such

" given the Republicans the
advantage in states where there
were senatorial contests. In all
probability the Senate will have
a safe Republican majority, and
the Republican majority in the
House will be greater than it is
at the present time.
Estimating the result from the
returns that are already in,
Ioy as vote was on a ratio OF
abctt 8 to / in favor of Hard
ing; about 2 to / in favor of
Cummins, and a little less than
2 to in favor of Kendall. Her
ring, the Democratic candidate
for governor made by far the
best showing on the Democratic
state ticket n Iowa, and he also
ran stronger in Delaware Coun-
ty than any other state candi-
date.
Sheriff Pride is reelected by
a majority of over 2700, and
yet Mr.. Pentony ran over HOO
ahead Of his ticket, which in
other times would have been suf-
ficient to elect him.
It is interesting to note that
even Dubuque County, that cita-
del of democracy, went Repub-
lican from the top of the ticket
to the bottom, leaving the re-
suit as to sheriff alone doubt
full. 1t is the first time in his
tory that Dubuque County went
Republican.
The vote in Delaware County
for State Senator was Banta

THE RAILRoAD PRopLEM.

The railroads are asking the inter
state commerce commission for an ad-
vance in freight rates, which il grant
ed it is estimated would bring them in
&1,017, 100000 a year additional reve-
nue.. The railroad brotherhoods- are
asking the railway labor board for an
increase in wages which it is estimated
would amount to $1,000, 900, 900 a
year. II both these requests be
granted, the railroads will have net at
the end of the year an increase in in
come of $17.0OG.OOO. This sum would
not go far in the purchase of new
rolling stock or in other improve
ments but the general public would be
out about a billion dollars with moth
ms to show for it.
The brotherhoods in presenting
their arguments for a further increase
have stated that higher wages would
be necessary in order to enable them
TO maintain a standard of living in
keeping with their necessities or de-
sires. IT is suggested that minimum
OF $4,000 per year would be required
for this purpose.
The country apparently is confront
ed by the necessity OF making a choice
on the following questions: First,
shall the people be required to stand an
increase of twenty eight per cent in
freight rates, Involving a virtual tax OF
$1,000. 600. 900. and if so. shall the pro-
ceeds of this tax be turned over to the
railroads for the improvement OF
transportation facilities or shall it be
used to increase the wages OF certain
groups who are already among the
most highly paid in American indus
try. 1t is certain that a large part OF
this vast sum would be paid by per
SONG who now are living on much les,
than $500 a year.
The railway employees may be SUI.
ferinK on account of the inadequat,
pay they receive. but it is question
IL the country is not suffering morc
on account of the deficiencies in trans.
portation which could be remedied BY
the purchase of equipment and out
lays for betterments.

1919 was about $4,000. 900 ssains
