County That Never Was Wronq on the Fence This Year

part Wlth-rural electrical
price supports, government as
sistance in getting greater yields
per acre. They are not unaware of
the political origin of those bene-
fits.
A farmer whose place is near
Cylinder-A hamlet that takes its
name from the fact that a rail-
road locomotive cylinder tumbled
into a creek there in the 1905
and never was lifted out-told me
he wished that things ran a little
more smoothly in Washington,
with less fuss and less expense.
"But how do you know what
you'll get inStead?" He asked.
Another farmer told me he
thought it was "Time the Demo-
Gratis got out Of there" no matter
what happened after that. Some
said they were for Senator Taft,
and some for Gen. Eisenhower.
Some Taft people said they be-
lieved in him even though they
didn't think he could be elected.
Some Eisenhower supporters said
they would feel happier If he
weren't a general.
Appear Interested.
All talked politics as if they were
deeply interested, but without re-
sentiment, as if these were prob
lens that should and would be
worked out in good time. Rare
were those who indicated a firmly
fixed bias.
Palo Alto hasn't always been
right" politically. The first presi-
Dental election in which 1t par
ticipated was in 1860. The county
gave Douglas 20 votes. Lincoln 4,
From then until 1875 the county
voted Democratic, while the coun-
try was voting Republican, and
from '76 to '92 it fuctuated be-
tween the two parties, sometimes
in line with the rest Of the coun-
try, sometimes not.
Heavy Catholic Population.
A large portion of the Palo Alto
population is Catholic. and has
been from the beginning. but thai

The Formers Vote
By Robert Roth
North American Newspaper AIIiones


EMMETSBURG. Iowa, May 81.
The corn grows high, and the
pigs are fat in Palo Alto county,
Iowa. Its people are prosperous
and contented and, politically, 1t
lis a test-tube county.
In IA elections held since 1896,
the presidential candidate who got
la majority of Palo Alto votes was
the man who was elected. Only
10 other counties, among the 1910
in the United States. share with
Palo Alto the distinction of siding
invariably with the winner.
This year, as of now, Palo Alto
is on the fence. The voters are
dissatisfied with good many
''..s,ings, but haven't decided what
they mean to do about them
politically
The wait-and-see attitude is in
|no way Influenced by any desire
lon the part Of the residents to
maintain their reputation as re-
|fector Of national trends. They do
mot know they have such a reputa-
tion.
Politically UnseIfcOnscious.
It would be hard to find an area
with less political selfconscious-
ness than this purely rural, North
Central Iowa county. Neither ma
jor party has q county organiza- :
tion worthy of the name.
The citizens vote as individuals,
splitting their tickets with fine
abandon. Most times they will
vote Republican in town and
county elections. In recent presi-
dental years they haYe cast a
majority for q Democrat for Pres
ident and a Republican for gov
|ernor.
I talked to dozens Of farmers.
from one end of the county to the
other, and to townspeople and
county officials. without finding
|one who was aware of the county's
unusual political record.
Most were incredulous when
told them their county had never
backed a loser in voting for q
President since 1896, and some
thought I was kidding.
Virtually all the Palo Altos
$4,000 people are farmers, or live
by doing business with farmers
Emmetsburg. the county seat, is
the largest town, with $500 popu-
tlation.
Farming Is Good.
Farming is good In Palo Alto
land always has been. The aver
Iage farmstead ranges in size from
Ia quarter to q half section. The
crop is corn. The yields are high,
100 bushels to the acre being not
unusual.
Palo Alto farmers can remember
when they had to burn their corn,
in the 1905 because they couldn' I
sell it. but they never went
hungry. as dust-bowl farmers did
They have never, in the men,

Ia crop failure. They came about
las close to it as they ever did
last year, when the extreme wet
weather spoiled a lot of the corn
but this year things look better
Soil conditions were right and the
|crops went in early. Usually that
means q profitable year.
