Dental Office may be seeking the man,

please have a chair and wait?
Muscatine Journal: Mr. Wilson's
victory would appear to be purely
technical. On the other hanl EN-
peror William has scored a point in
strategy.
Sioux City Tribune: If May isn't
tmore pro-summer than April was
Wen begin to suspect her neutrality
isn't on straight.
Sioux City Journal: Those frs. dis
| trict aspirants for Office are more &C
commodating about withdrawing from
a contest than some other Iowa poll
/ ticians that might be mentioned.

Marshalltown Times-Republican
While talking about narrowing the
roads let's include making them de-
pendable the year round whether

Cedar Rapids Republican: The Mar
shalltown Times-Republican is still in
Sisting that every one should get out
of the way for one favored candidate
But isn't that form of bossism, to
drive all men off the primary ticket,
all except about one? What is the
use of the people voting at the pri-

submitted to them? We had always
heard that under the primary any one
could be a candidate and the people
could choose the man they wanted,
out of their intelligence and patriot
ism.

anarchy in certain European nations |
after the war, at which time it will |
require strong governments among
the neighboring nations to keep them |
from being swept away in the mael- |
strom.
Hardin County Citizen: Justice |
Hughes would probably bring the |
various republican factions together |
better than any other man, unless the |
east is willing to accept Cummins.
Sioux City Tribune: Carranza was |
supposed to be guarding the border +,
at the time of the attack on Column |
bus, N. NJ. Nothing has happened |

any as a guard. The United States |
troops are in position to do better /
job Of it.
