Ing In the long campaign ahead by

ment or by incorporating the men
who are behind it.

Is not going to have any shilly shally

with the liquor interests.
GOING TO SETTLE THE MATTER.
[Pella Chronicle.]
1t looks sometimes like there might
be scramble in both parties next fall
to nominate dry candidates for gov
ernor. The two or three vets who
have ventured to have their names
| mentioned did not create any enthus-
iasm except from those of their own
kind, and they are too hopelessly in
the minority to be able to swing SEN
timent in the state of Iowa. The sa-
loonists themselves are turning towards
someone whose ideas on the question
are not generally known in despair or
forcing the nomination of an out and
out wet. This will not succeed any
better than their first plan to nomi-
nate Harding. The people Of Iowa
have at last made up their minds to
settle the whiskey question and the
year 1916 is the time appointed to at
tend to it. 1t is becoming more and
more evident that no candidate whose
attitude is not firmly and uncompro-
misingly against the saloon will stand
the slightest chance of election, and
neither party will be foolish enough to
put up man to butt his head against
the stone wall OF sentiment.

Woman Shield are not the only papers

possible straw hat that no farmer
would wear to dog fight. and he has |
red underwear, or at least red un- !
dershirt. What farmer do you know
who wears red understands when the !
apples are ripe2 And he has on a |
