Local Republican Notes on Robinson and State Candidates
The Republican column from Fitherville Iowa dated April 13 1901 discusses B F Robinson of Armstrong as a potential representative and argues against his immediate entry to avoid harming Emmet Osceola and Dickinson counties. It mentions Senator J A Trewin running for governor and lists other potential candidates including Perkins Cum wine Foster Harriman Herriott and Col Palmer. It cites opinions from Decorah and Iowa Falls papers on public figures and quotes from the Iowa Paris Sentinel on issues like freeloaders. It notes rural mail delivery road problems and confirms A Nichols expands his Iowa Falls plant with a Simplex type setter. It previews the Republican state central committee meeting April 27 and Carnegie’s donation to Cornell College. It promotes a Burlesque street parade by J C Lewis St Plunkard Co. Band on April 16 and ends with a quip about a man's hat.
