Just the other day, the state treas.
urer made report covering the last
two years, showing that the cost of
running the state government had
increased 81, $685. The expenditures
in the last fiscal year far exceeded the
receipts, and where there was a balance
of 81, 379, 827.8l q year ago.. to-day
there is only a balance of $737, $780, 81.
Gov. Clarke and the Republican state
administration must stand the respon-
sibility for this condition. Taxes have
been raised, but in spite of this the
extravagant state government has
piled up expenses so high that, if con-
tinued, the states surplus would be
wiped out and the state would be
plunged in debt. Mr.. Hamilton is a
business man. He has brilliant reco, d
20 legislator. AS a member of the
board of control he saved thousands for
the taxpayers. The people of Iowa,
who are tired of Capitol park extrava-
gance and reckless waste of public
funds, with consequent increase in
taxes to pay the fiddler, will elect John
T. Hamilton on the Democratic party's
platform of economy and efficiency,
and the entire state ticket will go into
Office with him.

One of his colts was winner of first

High Wilson has two crops of colts

of weakness at birth. If heshas sired
any poor ones they don't report them
to me. This horse stood for public
service in Milwaukee, Wis, at the

warrant mares in foal. I have cut this
fee to SIS. 90 and warrant all his colts
one week old. Look him over and

If congress were to offer me my
choice of any state in the union, as a
reward for my worth and modesty, l
should say lunhesitatingly, "Give me
Iowa."
Because Iowa is the most American
state in the nation.
There are few millionaires, few pau.
pers. No scum, no dregs, to speak of.
They are just plain United States folks
Iowa buys more first-class reading
matter than any other state except

Iowa is the New England. New En-
gland is not New England any more.

Iowa is where the New Englanders
that had snap have gone to.

land in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming,
Colorado, New Mexico. Arizona, Utah,
Nevada, Arkansas, Louisiana and Ore
gon combined.
The Iowa corn crop is gre ter in val.
ue than the wheat crop of Canada or

The annual corn crop of Iowa is
worth more than the annual yield of
