Forsthe Times Republican.
Eldora. June 22.-It was an eye
opener to hear the politician tell what
lit costs To go as a delegate to nations
al convention. For instance. as soon as
1.-the state delegation was named an as
assessment of $500 was made. This was
spent in such items as these: Rooms
4 for Iowa delegation, say 500 a day;
transparency with the word Iowa ,'-
four letters-$l0 each; decorating. $50.
4 AT the time of Ailison's candidacy for
president $500 was paid for u transpar-
l;encS electric light Ard there were
other necessary expenses not detailed
| by the politician. Then each delegate
| has TO pay his car fare and hotel bill
! in addition TO the above. Rooms with
-four beds in them are the rule rather
than the exception And these rooms
are contracted for for three or four
days and paid for whether used or not.
Evidently where the Iowa delegation
has headquarters is way up in g." The
hotel is run on the European plan;
have what you please and pay for 1T.
Here are some prices taken from the
| bill OF fare two weeks ago. The Lord
only knows land the guests what they
