themselves by which they expected to
turn Iowa over to the Wilson adminis-
tration has appeared the past week

from criticism OF the capitol extension
purchase and the alleged consequent
increase Of. taxation. From this time
on it is certain that most OF the dis
cussion in the state is to be along the
line of what tho Wilson administration
ihas been doing to the people in Iowa
and elsewhere. Already the defensive
articles are appearing. The democ-
ratio press bureau now completely dis
