Monroe county has in the Hon. Austin Jay a Representative who was born in Wapello county, and raised in Iowa. Mr. Jay is a man who not only understands what his constituents want but also has the ability and inclination to labor to give them their desires. He is 36 years of age and lives on a farm near Moravia, and is a Republican. In the Twenty-fourth General Assembly he was all right and his constituents evidently were satisfied for they sent him back this winter with an increased majority. The Masons have him as a member of their order. This winter he wants the Legislature to use its influence upon Congress to secure the free delivery of mail in the farming districts.
