Both the mayor and the sheriff Of OF

Everything appears feasible in the
discussion of power dam projects IN

clined.
The decision of the supreme court in
the Cedar Rapids milk ordinance case

A car load OF draft horses on which
express charges of s425 were paid was
this week shipped from an Iowa town

a democratic suggestion is offered by
the Baltimore Sun when it observes
that If Harmon should be reelected
governor of Ohio. he would become
big figure in the national convention.
What will the republicans do in the
not improbable event of sane conduct
by the democratic congress and the
democratic convention? Would they
venture to renominate Mr.. Taft. or
would they be driven 10 nominate
Roosevelt in order 70 save the party?
The trend of events is plainly toward
Roosevelt"

rates as high, or higher. than the Ding
ley tariff law on most articles Of gen

there was much said of how he had

himself out Of his own mouth. Well,

do that

Al Illinois man got a Gypsy TO tell
