Mayor Pickler strongly supported Mr..

Iowa City, March 3O.-The victory
of the democratic ticket in the city
election Monday has crearted a pecu-
liar nosition in the local political field.
Frank Stebbins, the defeated republl-

republicans. But IN local politics to
the victors belong the spoils and 1T is
conceded the offices in the gift OF the

there appears to be hitch in the pro-
ceedings. The city council, even af-

publican managers have devised plan
of action which is believed to be uni

known that he has made deal with
