IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
The Marshalltown Tinles-Republ1can
cannot think of one good argument
against equal suffrage.
Women are going to vote IN iowa
just as surely as saloons are out 10
stay out insists the Britt Tribune.
"A good beginning for the conclud-
ing program of the legislature would
be the wholesale slaughter OF scores OF
bills which should never escape the
hands of the committees" suggested
the Des Moines Capital.
'At least, Clifford Thorne has con-
vinced himself that everybody put
himself can be wrong" remarks the
Waterloo Times-Tribune.
The Dubuque Times-J Journal objects
to condemnation of the new road Law
before it has been given fair trial.
why should the state Of Iowa take
step back and abolish the state high
way commission when it already -
behind the times on good roads, de-
mands the Charles City Intelligencer.
THE present method of selecting
postmasters ought to be abolished ana
the whole business placed under strict
civil service regulations, urges thS
Council Bluffs Nonpareil.

"Of all men, labor leaders ought to
be the last to bolster up the saloon,
asserts the Neville Mail.
The Marion Register predicts that in
1916 the republicans will sweep the
north and win in five southern states.
IF the legislature has lick OF
sense left and a spark of respect for
local self government 1t will throttle
this nefarious scheme of the extrem-
ists," insists the Cedar Rapids Re
publican, referring to the plan to pro-
vide special officials under state super
vision to enforce the prohibition law.
"Of course, Governor clarke SiSnce'

would John T. Hamilton have done IN
similar circumstances" asks the

Graphic that the legislature will not

The Motorcycle Races

Yesterday. at the half mile
track at the fair grounds, four
events were pulled off, of which
the Harley-Davidson ridden by
Tex" Richardson won three
first places and made a close run
for a third. Tex" would proba-
bly, have won this race had he
not taken a fall which cost him
half a lap.
The Indian ridden by Ted Mey-
ers won one second place and lost
a good chance at another by
stopping to pick up "Skeet" Nc
Mullen who took a dirty fall in
the first race.
Frank Schmidt won a second
place but lost out in another,
his engine went to sleep in the
hrst lap. Memo Lancaster won
one first and two second places
on his Indian.
The victories of the Harley
Davidsons were due mainly to
the quick starts Of the machines
and the teamwork of the riders.
The Excelsior will probably do
better work today than it did
yesterday as the rider has had
more time to repair some damage
done en- route.
The Indians won 1st honors to-
day. lst race 3 miles-1st Ed.
