Des Moines, June 2.-The Washing
T ton correspondent of a Philadelphia
newspaper stated the other day that
among the republican members of con-
gress there is a feeling of greater de-
pen6ence this year upon Chairman
Woods, Of the congressional committee,
than on any other, and that no man in
Washington at the present time has
taken on such load Of responsibility
as has the Iowa man.
While his personal rivals, stimulated
by envy, have been circulating stories
derogatory to him and his work, the
congressional committee, under the
whip and spur of scores of members
Of congress, has placed the full and
undivided responsibility for the man
agement Of the campaign thruout the
country to secure a republican con-
gress in the hands Of Chairman Woods.
He is the absolute and undisputed
arbiter of the whole campaign. Neither
in the literary work nor in the general
mana cement and direction of the cam
paign nor in the matter of the
finances Is there any interference with
Chairman Woods. 1t was high trib-
ute to him and indicated the confidence
which his associates have in him. that
he should have been given this undis-

WHY The BEST
Of CnEWS IS
SPEAR HEAD
its Rich. Sweet. Mellow Flavor Has
Been Famous for a
Generation
n
MADE OF CHOICEST RED BuRLEY

The secret of tobacco satisfaction is
known only to the man who che70s Plug
tobacco. The reason is that good
chew gets right next to your taste,
while the leaf in Plug tobacco is in a
state Of fresh, juicy richness that is not
possible in any other form of tobacco.
There's no tobacco in the world that
can give you the hearty wholesome
favor that you get from a delicious
chew of Spear Head.
Spear Head is made exclusively of
ripe, red Kentucky Burley-the most
richly-Aavored chewing tobacco that
grows. Still more. only the very choic-
est red Burley leaf is used for Spear
Head.
This choice leaf IS selected with the
most painstaking care, is stemmed by
hand, is thoroughly washed free of all
foreign matter, and is pressed into
Spear Head plugs so slowly that not
drop of Juice or an atom of the nat
ura1 flavor escapes.
Try Spear Head and you'll get
sweet, mellow, luscious, satisfying chew
that cannot be obtained in any other
tobacco. Buy Sc or 1Oc cut to-day.

Cosson the Dry, Harding the Wet

wetness In his politics the river cities
in the election of 1914 gave him a
larger vote for lieutenant governor
than was given to either Governor
Clarke or Senator Cummins at the
head of the ticket and the wet vote OF
the river cities is boosting for him
now.
In the country districts tremendous
effort has been made to cover up the
real issue between Cosson and Har-
ding BY misrepresenting the road issue.
Harding says he is fighting 100000
900 bond issue for paved roads but
nothing Of the kind has been proposed
and Cosson would fight 1t too, If there
were any such thing to fight. Harding
has written to road booster and in
terurban magna.e in Waterloo that he
favors letting the people OF locali-
ties vote on road taxes and bonds" and
so does Cosson. There is no road issue
as between candidates. The real issue
is the illegal selling of liquor in Iowa.
