Notes on Hon. A. B. Funk for governor and small towns
The writer lauds Hon. A. B. Funk as a pro pressive candidate who could unite Republican factions and argues his nomination should be unanimous. The column contrasts small town life with city growth, laments centralization, praises the value of enterprising local merchants, and notes crops, a fairground stand collapse in Humboldt injuring about fifty, railroad rate views, and EStherville’s upcoming events including hosting editors of the Upper Des Moines and Corn Belt Association. An obituary for Lauris Sealle, eight months old, is included.
