IS HE BRIBED? 

Copper Creek, Iowa, September 20, 1879 

J. W. Miles was a member of the last General Assembly of Iowa from Jackson 
County. He was on the Railroad Committee and was presented with free passes 
over all of the through railroad lines, which he not only uses himself, but 
lets others travel on them. Now does anyone believe but what those passes were 
given and received as a bribe? Will the farmers and shippers of Jackson 
County, who have been ground down with high freights elect such a man to 
represent them for another term? Would you like to have conductors point to 
Tom, Dick and Harry who may perchance be armed with these passes, say there is 
a member of the Legislature from Jackson County? Farmers and others think of 
this until election day.
