To rc.nominntc Governor Gear

wrongs the party that selects him ~

In this connection the thought that
the animositics cngcndcrcd by the
struggles for Local Prohibition are
really detrimental TO the triumph of
Temperance In Iowa, presses with
peculiar force upon my mind. The
prohibitory Liquor Law now on onr
Statute Books. should BIZ vigorously
enforced and the Wine and Href
clause repealed. This fighting for

And now 1T the threshold IL the
