A TAX on MR.. BRYAN.
IMaterloo Courier. !

Mr.. Bryan will be here here next
Wednesday TO tell the voters OF Black
Hawk county why they should vote for
Connolly. Hamilton. Murtagh and the
rest of the democratic ticket.
What will he say?
Bryan is a prohibitionist but the
ticket for which he will speak Is rum
ming on the only state platform, I'M
less 1t Is the socialist. which ignores
the liquor question. The guberna, orial
candidate for which he will speak is a
veteran signer of saloon petitions and.
to our knowledge. has not denied that
he is the owner of property rented for
saloon purposes In Cedar Rapids.
The secretary Of state win speak,
perhaps In favor OF diminished state
expenditure. And yet he speaks for a
party which has just passed a measure
levying war tax Of $105.0O0,000 on the
people when there is no war in which
this nation is participant. He stands
for party which. but for the efforts Of
republican senators, would have spent
s33,o00,oo0 of the peoples money for
ocalled river and harbor improve
ments which would have been an entire
waste.
But there is left the clear ringing
issue OF holding up the hands of the
president. the issue upon which Mr..
Connolly principally depends. OF
course, Iowans know that there is
nothing like u good healthy minority
to keep the majority party on its good
behavior But II they would see an
excellent exhibition of democrats not
holding up the hands OF the president
they should turn their attention right
now to Washington where group of
southern senators is blocking the ad

ward and conscious OF his responsible
ity toward the public and 1t Is merely
common precaution to consider any
connection which would seem to In
evitably affect or divide that sense OF
responsibility. In short to place the
the prosecution of criminal accusa-
tions and their defence in the same
room and with the same firm would be
a foolish thing to do under circum :
stances that would make for the great
est confidence. 1t would be reprehens-
IDLE under circumstances that would be
equally impressive from different
angle.

COUNTY Ar1oRneysnlps.

The open letter addressed to the vo:-
ers by Ray p. Scott. republican candi-
date for county attorney, gives voice
to very vital objection to his oppon-
ents claim on the office. This objec-
ton has been in many minds. When
Mr.. Scott points out Mr.. Johnson's
partnership connection he deals what
should be a fatal blow TO the Johnson
candidacy.
Let il go that Mr.. Johnson is politi-
cally unfortunate in his partnership.
That might be personal excuse. but II
so admitted, is an excellent reason why
he should not be elected TO enforce the
criminal laws of the state while retain
ing his partnership in a firm which is
sought and retained as criminal law
yers by accused law violators of les
ser and greater degree. The record OF
the senior member of the firm as
criminal lawyer is open Probably Mr..
Bradford would be the last man 10 deny
or attempt &c conceal for it is not Of
record that ne is in any wise ashamed
OF il. But it is of serious moment TO
the voters that the junior member Of
law firm which hootleggers and blind
piggers hasten to retain, should en-
deavor to take over the other side OF
the administration OF law enforcement
and the prosecution as we'll as the de-
fence cuddle together in the same law
Offices
However the bootlegger and the
blind pigger are only incidental. 1t is
not raising a wet" and dry" issue to
call attention TO these facts and to
consider the prospects and opportuni-
ties which the election of a junior
member Of firm of criminal lawyers
to the office OF county prosecutor or
might mean to any county in the state.
1t is merely raising very important
! question as to the probable prosecution
| Of all criminal cases from murder
| down to ordinary intoxication or as
| sault and battery. The same question
would come up If the general counsel
Of railroad corporation We're to put
forth some Junior lawyer Of his force
| for the office of attorney general of
Iowa. If it would be ridiculous to see
such junior member of such firm
in such position certainly the paral-
lei holds in the matter OF county at
| torney.
| There is no office to be filled by the
voters Of county more important
than that Of public prosecutor He
represents the state as well as the
county. 1t is not vitality necessary that
he shall be great lawyer or of wide

THE BRICK ROAD.

While there is wide diversity of
opinion regarding the material OF
which the real roads of Iowa are to be
constructed, there seems less Of such
divergence Of opinion. where there has
been more experience. OF course, the
material available must be taken into
consideration. Thus there Is much
building of gravel roads, where the
material is within convenient reacf,
and there Is this to be said for the
gravel road, that the more gravel is
hauled upon 1t year after year, the bet
ter it ought to become.
The cement road has many advo-
Gates, where cheapness is one OF the
things more especially desired.
But in the sections OF Illinois Ohio
and Indiana and other states that have
been experimenting during a number
OF years, brick is given the preference
today. In some of the Illinois coun-
ties rural roads are being paved with
brick on a cement foundation, and 1.
is the belief OF the authorities who
are doing the work. that the brick will
prove the cheapest In the end.
Perhaps 1t will. 1t IL estimated that
first class brick road out In the

WHAT'S BRYAN SAYING 1oDAy1

William Jennings Bryan came into
Iowa today and is lin our midst" Some
interest is manifest as to what he will
say while he is here.
Mr. Bryan has a hard and in its way
a humiliating task. He is sent on to
assist the democratic ticket in Iowa.
He must of course boost Mr.. Hamil-
ton. Now Mr. Hamilton IS nice old
gentleman whose managers have been
making a great fuss over republican
"extravagance." The neG!igence OF
county officials caused some raise IN
the amount OF taxes. that IS such negli-
gence was responsible for practically
all the raise in the tax hills. So the
managers and Mr., Hamilton seized
upon the capitol extension as oppor-
tunity They have hopelessly entansled
themselves in a mass of ta.se figures
and misstatements which nave been
met and dlsproven one after another
as fast as they have been made Inc
claim of extravaganza" has been ut
terly demolished and II is shown tha'
Iowa has been better managed and has
got more for her money than any other
state in the union. Now when Mr..
BRYAN comes straight from Washing
ton where a democratic congress has
spent more money than previous con-
crosses and has less to show Tor IT,
where war taxes have been levied In
time of profound peace in this country
and where the attempt to grab millions
for alleged river and harbor improve
ments has been partially defeated by
republican congressman and senator's
from Iowa. what wiz Bryan say? Isn't
Mr.. Bryan in pretty fix?
over in Nebraska Mr.. Bryan stood
against his party and loomed high in
the state and nation because he alb
solutely refused to support a liquor
man for office When he comes into
Iowa today and sees John 7. Hamil-
toms signature on saloon petition,
passes the building owned by Mr..
Hamilton where a saloon is passing
damnation over the bars 10 youth and
age. what is Mr.. Bryan 70 say? Isn't
it rather humiliating to be sent 10
Iowa in defense of such candidacy
when he refuses to saddle Nebraska
with a liquor official? And bringing
the matter right home what could he
say as TO the ACCESSIBILITY of conducting
the county attorneys office and the de-
tense of accused persons under the
same ceiling?
He must stand for Connolly. Now
Bryan knows as well as we do in Iowa
the differences between Cummins and
Connolly. Bryan knows that Cum
Minis is a useful man. statesman who
stays at his work. who studies affairs
and arrives at wise conclusions,
strong safe man. No doubt Mr.. Bryan
knows that Connolly has not been OF
service 70 his country or his state. that
he hasn't been on the job or.e day out
Of the week. Coming direct from
Washington no doubt Bryan is in
formed as to the prominence Mr.. Con
molly holds there as a tango dancer
of grace and agility. How can Bryan
advise Iowans to send Connolly to
dance the tango and patter me too in
place Of q working statesman? Would
ne do it in Nebraska?
President Wilson is a powerful lead
or. So much is evident II must nave
required great force of character or
hypnotism to send William Jennings
Bryan to do in Iowa what he absolute
ly and in the face of his party re-
fuses to do in Nebraska.

WHOSE MONEY Is IT?


Great sums Of money are being spent
by the democrats in Iowa for the
election OF John T. Hamilton and
Maurice Connolly.
Who is putting up the money!
IT is said that never before in the
history of the state has party re-
sorted to all the expensive forms of
publicity with such pers!stency as has
been done this fall
What interest is putting up the
money?
Mr.. Hamilton is coming to Scott
county. VIII he tell how he can az
ford to spend so much In the vain
hope of gaining the governorship?
VIII Mr.. Connolly explain how. he
can afford to spend so much in the
hope OF gaining the senatorship?
H. as the candidates say. the people
are going to approve of the democra-
tic tariff at the polls and vote ap-
prevail OF Wilson. why in the world is
II necessary for the candidates to
spend money with such lavish prodi-
gality? Is it possible they have to
fight for votes every step Of the way
and all this approval of the demo-
cratic record IL a myth?

SANDER now being waged against Sen

bureau has set a new mark in Iowa
and instead of gaining votes for Mr..
Connolly is turning thousands away

BILE methods been practiced in Iowa.
The malls are being flooded with circu-
lars that consist OF base.ess charges.
Some Of the democratic newspapers
are filing their columns with stun
from the Connolly press bureau in Des

sample:
Mr.. Cummins may next year be
