Hit by German Guns.

suburb of Berchem and the southeast
quarter of the town suffered badly.
Long after they had been evacu

and around the ruins of the blown uI
forts. They feared mines and hoped
thus TO destroy them. Near the south

tensively mined by the Belgians, but

sion for it. All this prediction o. DEM
ocratic victory if one good man or an
other is nominated is buncombe. The
thing for republicans to do is 20 settle

water on the wheel Of democratic nope

among the Congregational clergy Of the
state, by signing the saloon petition
recently filed at Sioux City. No other

personality and his saloon connection

but when hear Of a candidate for the
state senate campaigning over the
county and saying he will have the
law repealed If he Is elected, feel like
swearing. And that man will actually
get some votes with that song and
dance. Judge Lee will not get the
vote for governor from many dis
susted high taxpayers he would have
hao under other circumstances. There
IS the unwritten precedent Of giving
good governor two terms.
More than that is an expressed idea,
that Judge Lee came out as a candi-
uate at time when a good republican
was under fire, for doing his sworn
duty. AND many mention his inconsist-
ency IN opposing appropriations for
capital extension when an equal
amount of tax money was appropriated
for college extension at Ames. More
than all Is the eligibility question.
Some voters bound to vote against
Clarke are afraid if they vote for
Judge Lee, it will be a lost vote. if his
eligibility became a question for the
courts to decide, and so will vote the
democratic ticket. There Is no ques-

and the evilly disposed man. during
the night. It was ill-advised action on
the part Of the policemen, and
amounted to nothing less than insub-

the fact that they objected to Night
