Hearst, in conjunction with persons
here, is planning on invading the Iowa

training for the starting Of paper or
acquiring one somehow. It is recalled
that last year just before the close of
the campaign Hearst's confidential
man spent a week or more here spying
out the field and he was in consulta-
ton with the democrats at state head
quarters in regard to the situation.

a distinguished course in Maynooth,

the great National College to be raised
to the Episcopacy. His first curacy was
il, Enniscrone, and he was afterwards
in Erris, and from there transferred to
