a period when but one investment APP

THE TROUBLE AHEAD.

Two leading democratic weekly news
papers forecast trouble in the demo-
cratic convention over the temperance
plank which was part of the purchase
price OF a gubernatOrial nominee. Inc
Manson Democrat says, The fight viii
Iowa from the fools who would wreck
it on the rocks of prohibition or at the
front door OF the saloon and the
Deniscn Bulletin dismisses the pro-
hibition plank by proposing TO talk
prosperity and fair dealing in the
platform and CLOSE out our stock OF
crabs and crazy notions"
So the case stands. There will prob
ably be determined opposition to the
Meredith platform in the coming con-
vention but it is likely that it will
amount to very little SO far as the res
olutions are concerned. The leaders
have pledged themselves to the Mere
dith program and it will steam right
on over the opposition Perhaps it will
cause an open split. perhaps it will
only set the liquorish individuals Of
the party looking for somebody besides
Meredith to vote for. But the party
has decided to make Meredith general
manager this year with power to act.
II is just as we'll to bring the matter
to a showdown. Sooner or later it had
to come. Any party in Iowa is going
to have a hard time living half wet and
half dry. Perhaps the democratic party
is more than half wet. If so this is an
instance where the tail will wag the
dog The matter is up to the jumping
off point. The Meredith platform must
be built according to plans and speci-
ticaions agreed upon 1t will go thru.
Prohibition is a proposition that both
parties in Iowa would find it hard to
dodge or ignore either in their plat
forms or their candidates. We can't
get away from it this year. The DEM
ocracy is not alone in its prospect of
embarrassment The platform of the
republicans will be for prohibition. The
republican worry is over candidates. A
wet nominee foreshadows disaster
1t is time to settle the question. Iowa
is to De either wet or dry. The wiring
ing vets will vote for a wet man with :
out doubt whatever party they affiliate
with; and the extra drys will refuse to
support wet whatever party he may
nominally represent. The real issue Is
the liquor issue. The road issue as be-
tween all the candidates is about equal
All profess themselves in favor of a
law that will permit counties and COM
munities to build the kind of road they
choose and are willing to pay for and
that is all anybody is asking. The real
issue is the prohibitory question.
