Iowa City has block after block OF

today the concrete base is exposed in
great pot holes yards in length and
breadth
Bitulithic is one Of the standard
pavements, and is one Of the highest
priced payements, costing more than
sheet asphalt. and much more than
brick or than the asphaltic concretes.

THE TAIL OR THE DOG.

Shall the tail wag the dog or the dog
wag the tail? Shall the republican
party Of Iowa continue TO stand for the
promotion OF temperance or shall it
surrender 10 the so termed liberal
element represented by Lieutenant
Governor Harding? Mr.. Harding has
pointed 10 his vote in the last two cleo
tons with pride ana seems to deduce
from that that he represents what the
republican party of the state desires.
If he secures the nomination for gov
ernor next year he will discover that
there are thousands Of republicans
who supported him for lieutenant gov
ernor notwithstanding his position on
the temperance question. that will not
support him for governor Although
he has some influence in his present
position, it is very little as compared
10 that Of governor. The people who
believe in temperance legislation will
never give him the veto power or en-
trust 10 him the patronage of the gov
ernor's office with its resulting in
huence. Multiplicity OF candidates is
his only chance to secure the nominal
Mon. Such a condition should be
avoided.
