Tearing Down Building

The old store room on Seneca
street between the Gustuson market
and the Kearns grocery, owned by
j. d. Sketchley, is being torn down
preparatory to building a new one.
Some time ago it was thought to
place a cement floor in the old
building and use that, but OF late
it has been decided to tear the old
one down and replace it with a new
one. The new building will be
one story with cement floor, the
side and back walls being of brick
and the front of glass, The room
will be used jointly by c. G. Gustu-
son and T. b. KearnS for store room
and will be a great convenience.

At the recent election in Maine
the bull moosers polled about one
third as many votes as Roosevelt
polled two years ago. But that was
enough to defeat the republican
party in the Pine Tree state. If the
progressives of Iowa poll one-third
of the Roosevelt vote it is likely the
democratic candidate for governor
will be elected, but nobody expects
the progressives to get one-third OF
the Roosevelt vote this year.

No, the European socialists were
not going to fight in any more wars,
nor were the European banks going
to make any more loans for war pur-

They are now experiencing some
realities and the socialists are doing
some mighty hard stunts at fight
ing in the ranks and the bankers
are just humping themselves to sat
isfy the demands of the war lords
for funds. How soon little exper-
fence will overthrow a century of

OF1OSS~ 49,
candidacy of Mr.. Sullivan most
strenuously, he will, undoubtedly,
now lend every effort to assist in his
election, for the reason that Mr..
Bryan has always been a great
champion of the people and what the
people have so almost unanimously
decided on in Illinois should meet
with his unqualified approval
Manson Democrat.
Mr.. Bryan endorses the action OF
the voters only when the voters vote
as he wants them to. Didn't the
people elect Roosevelt in 1904 by
the biggest majority ever accorded
a presidential candidate and did Mr..
Bryan support him because of that?
Didn't the people also elect Grover
Cleveland and didn't Mr.. Bryan de-
nounce and desert Cleveland before
he finally retired from the white
house? Mckinley was another man
whom the people elected by a large
majority, but Mr.. Bryan didn't en-
dorse the action of the people in so
doing. Bryan is like the average
public man-no better and no worse.
The democrats have given up
hope of the election of Connolly. In
the first place it was an unjustifled
hope, one of those iridescent
dreams old Senator ingalls, used to
tell about.-Times-R Republican.
The Times-Republican is indulg-
ing in one of those "iridescent
Dreams" Democrats were never
known to give up hope. In fact,
hope is one of the mainstays of the
party. Every time the party meets
defeat 1t picks itself up ous OF the
mud and declares "you can't do it
again." They always hope for sue
cess, no matter what the odds
against them and even after cleo
ton they will not admit defeat un-
til the returns are all in and it is
shown that there are no back dis
tricts that can possibly turn the
tide. Hope springs eternal in the
democratic breast and no genuine
democrat will give up the election
of Connolly for at least week af-
ter he is overwhelmingly defeated
next November. Then they will de-
clare that well show you next
time"

John T. Hamilton, non-partisan
candidate for governor of Iowa,
spoke from the same platform with
Maurice Connolly, democratic candi-
date for United States senator, at a
democratic rally in Des Moines a
few evenings ago. Now in order to
prove that he is a non-partisan can
didate, Mr.. Hamilton ought to aid
Gov. Clarke in republican rally at
the capital city. Some one might
be lead to believe by Mr.. Hamilton's
association with a democratic can
didate at a public political meeting
that he is also a democratic candi-
date, in spite of the fact that his
publicity bureau is advertising him
as the "non-partisan, business can
didate."

tory is reported it has a tendency
to increase the price of wheat, but
when victories for the allies arc

due to the fact that it is believed
that if Germany is to win it will be
a long war, while success OF the al

to dodge an issue is second only to

one asked Mr.. Hamilton the other
evening when he was denouncing
extravaganza at Des Moines what he
thought of extravaganza at Wash
ington. He replied that he was dis
cussing state issues and that nation
al affairs were not an issue in a

I'VE advanced Goodyear prices, as
others did theirs, when the rubber
panic came. Almost in a day crude
rubber rose in New York from SIS cents
per pound to much over a dollar.
THE New York supply was too
small to consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick of
the rubber there. by actiIs quickly,
and paying cash they obtained 1900
600 pounds of the finest rubber.
That big supply of rubber is now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory in Akron. 1t constitutes the
best of the London supply.
I'VE are using the same grade of
rubber and the same amount of it as
we always have used in these tires.
I'VE r running II factory with
three shifts of men, twenty-four hours
a day. So long as we remain in this
fortunate position on rubber, VIC shall
supply the users at before-war prices
