To the Democrats of iowa.

Opportunity this year is knocking at
the door of the democratic party in
Iowa. 1t must not be permitted to pass
by UNDECIDED. II every democrat will
20 to the polls on Tuesday. November
3, and vote the straight party ticket,
a decisive and glorious victory is as
sured. Let it not be said to the shame
of any Democrat in the great state OF
Iowa that he failed to- go to the polls
and cast his vote for the entire demo-
cratic ticket. Iowa should emulate the
state of Maine and by sweeping vic.
tory on November 3, demonstrate to
the country at large that it endorses
the administration of President Wood.
. row Wilson.
Every Democrat owes it to Presi-
dent Wilson to vote the democratic
congressional candidate in his respect
i've district. President Wilson's mag
nificent administration can only be
continued by his having back of him
congress in accord with his policies.
Every democrat owes it to himself
and the state at large to vote for John
T. Hamilton for governor, who it cleo
ted will give Iowa an economic and
business-like administration. To so
vote will be just rebuke to the reck-
less extravaganza of the present re-
publican state officials now asking re-
election.
Every Democrat owes it to himself
and the state at large to vote for the
democratic candidates for the state
senate and house of representatives
who are pledged to bring about reform
in the state administration that will
insure reduction of the present ex.
cessive taxation which has become
burden to the citizens of Iowa. The
same applies to the other democratic
candidates on the state ticket.

How the] State Treasury Has Beer
Looted By the State House Ring.

Des Moines, Iowa, October 26th.-
Especially tProof of how the state
treasury of Iowa has been looted by
the extravaganza of the present
administration has come to light in the
report of expert accountants. These
accountants were hired by the
retrenchment and reform committee of
the last General Assembly and the
report of their findings is an unanswer-
able argument in favor of John T..
Hamilton, the candidate for Governor
who stands for an administration of
economy and business methods.
The accountants were instructed to
investigate every department of the
state government.
Their report estimates that $21, 900
can be saved annually by disseminating

Loss Of Appetite.

Is the first signal of disorder and de-
cay. The usual loss of appetite is
often caused by functional disturban
ces in the stomach. The stomach fails
to do the work required, the appetite
is gone, and the body suffers from lack
of nourishment. Such stomach needs
to be cleaned and sweetened. Meritol

assist the stomach to digest food, and

LET THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS

What is your program if you are returned to
power?
What Democratic laws would you repeal?
Would you repeal the Income Tax?
Would you take backward step on the Parcel
Post?
Would you repeal Schedule of Payne Aldrich-
Smoot tariff?
Would you restore the panic-breeding currency
laws that made possible the great industrial and
financial disaster of 1907?
Would you repeal the Agricultural Extension
Bill?
Would you restore the tax of $120,00O,00O a
year on sugar?
Would you put down the pipe lines connecting
the special interests with the seat of Government
that Woodrow Wilson has taken up?
Would you reestabish the old partnership be-
tween rotten politics and rotten business?
Give a vote of confidence to the men
who have helped Woodrow Wilson make
this great record. Do it by voting for
Connolly and Meyer.

Think This Over. Mr.. Voter.

Think THIS Over, MI. Voter. go
Some of: the things that Woodrow
Wilson has done for the American PEG
pie during his administration, which
has just reached the first year and ;
half Of its existence, towit:
IA firm foreign policy one o:
watchful waiting-whch prevented {
war with Mexico, and made impossible
untold loss of lives, the demoraliza
ton of business and staggering wa,
debt.
ia revision of the rules OF bust
ness without the usual and heretofore
inevitable panic-as the result of the
efforts of the President the laws have
been made the same for everybody
big and little-rot by wholesale denun-
citation and litigation, but by peaceable
and judicious means.
q 1II-Refutation to the oft repeated
taunts that the Democratic party had
not capacity for solving questions re.
curing constructive treatment. Wit
ness the currency, tariff, income tax,
the completed trust bills and
other wise legislation that not only re-
ceived the votes of Democrats, but the
votes of Republicans and Bull Moosers
as we'll in both the Senate and the
House.
IVA tariff that compe's the trusts
to sell as cheaply to you as to the peo.
pie of foreign lands. Framed with.
out concessions to special interests.
VA currency law under which
YOU get your money when you need it
-one that prevents panics and insures
stable financial conditions.
Wan income tax that places upon
the rich just proportion of the 81, OOO,-
600, 600 year, which is now the cost of
maintaining the federal government.
Villain arbitration act providing
for Cancellation and arbitration in con.
troversies between capital and labor,
which has already been successfully
employed in preventing great strikes
that would have tied up the entire
railway business of the nation.
VIII-Enlargement of the scope of
the parcel post. which has reduced the
cost of transportation, and became
lasting and convenient instrument of
benefit to the consumer ard producer.
IX-Trust laws based on the golden
rule. 1.-The trusts must do unto others
as they would have others do unto
them," i. e.:
Obey Court Decrees
Abandon Unfair Cutthroar Compe.
toni
Cease Discriminating between Pur-
chasers of their Goods!

quired under the Holding Company"
system!
Surrender the Enormous Power
Welded through 1nterlocking Direc.
torates!
(NoTE-This gives you and your son
a better chance in life.)
X-Legislation providing for coop.
erative agricultural extension work.
XI-The fostering and development
of commerce at home and abroad as
never before.
FINALLY.
Your President has worked untir-
ingly and with sincerity entirely new
to OUR political life for what he con.
sidered the best interests of mankind.
He has worked increasingly and with
out vacation-day in and day out-for
the rank and file of the public and not
for any clique or group. He has work.
ed for peace-peace at home as well as
peace abroad.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Despite
Princeton's poor showing against VIII.
liams Saturday, Harvard must I'M
prove nightly on her work against
Michigan il she is to do what has
been expected of her against the
Tigers next Saturday.
The Crimson was even more forum
ate than she knew to get the TO de-
cision against the westerners. 1t de-
veloped after the game-Coach Yost
himself explained the situatfon-that
it was not poor generalship by Hughitt
but a Merkle pulled by Splawn in the
first quarter that prevented Michigan
from scoring touchdown that might
have meant a tie score.
On the third down. with only three
yards to go for a score. Splawn re-
ceived the ball and tried Harvard's
line that had held three times. Hughitt
had called for forward pass, not a
line smash, and while every Harvard
man struggled to get through to
Splawn. Michigan forward stood
four yards over the Crimson goal line
not more than twelve yards from
Splawn, waiting for the throw that
was never made. 1t was the easiest
kind of chance, for Splawn had sew
eral seconds in which to throw the
ball.
Harvard will have both Mahan and
Pennock in the lineup against Prince

Harvard line was very ragged except
when fghting literally backed up
against the Crimson goal line. Time
after time Maulbetsch ripped through
sometimes with almost ridiculous
ease. Only great work by Harvards
backs as the second defense line
saved the day. In passing It might
be well to call the attention of the
dopesters who make up all-star elev.
emit, to Malbetsch. His work stod out
brilliantly in an otherwise rather dull
contest. On the Michigan march from
their 45 yard line to within three
yards of Harvards goal line Maui
betsch was called on twelve out OF
fifteen times. Not once did he fail to
gain.
