mean OH all Issues except that of prohi-
oltlon, and the more the Republican

state. They say the business men in all
the So-called prohibition towns and vii
lagos in Iowa are almost unanimous in
favor of Boies, although they do not
publicly proclaim their choice. They
pretend to be in favor of Wheeler in
