Guthrie county's wealth is made up almost entirely of farms and farm products, so it is no more than proper that a representative of the main industry should be the member of the House from that county. The Republicans have for the second time given that place to Hon. F. D. Steen of Menlo. He is a native of Germany, born in Holstein June 17, 1856, and he has lived in Iowa since 1871. He attended school in Germany and Simpson college at Indianola, this State. He is a practical farmer with lots of good common sense and ability to handle other subjects those directly connected with his regular work, so he makes a good member of the legislature. He is a member of the Knights of Pythias and belongs to the Methodist Church.
