! =. Furnish Them No Longer.
DIES MONIES, IOWA-The republican
state central committee is embarrassed
by the attitude Of the railroad companies
which have refused to grant the usual
concession this fall Of permitting students
at the colleges In the state to have free
transportation in order: to go home to vote
on election day. The railroads give as
their reason for their stand that they be-
gan to allow free transportation to stud
ents in 1896, when the pressure on them
was exceedingly strong and when they
were willing to go to any lengths rather
than see Bryan elected. They have kept
the practice up ever since. This year
they do not see the necessity of 1t and
they purpose to discontinue it.
. Furthermore, railroad officials say there
is no likelihood Of there being a revival OF
the practice The state central committee
will not undertake to bear the expense OF
paying the, fare of students who want: tc
60 home to vote, but will leave the bur
den to the county, committees. In the
close districts Of the state, the action OF
the roads Is causing the republicans some
