Shafer. promoter of bicycle races and for years a staunch supporter of the League of Ameri can Wheelmen , has , for the present nt least , cast his fortunes with the riders of flie National Cycling nsi-oclatlon.

So ho challenges anybody with ° rryfbody ' ? hol1 J ° 'Bt ' dtecuLlons niJSi ° m tSl8 tlmo on U" tno da * ° ' election. Everything from greenbacklsm to mperlalism goes. General Weaver has been on the wrong side of moro political ssues than any man In Iowa , and a few times ho has landed on the right aide. DCS Molnes Leader ( dem. ) : In Chicago last week , Secretary "Charley" Walsh de clared to the reporters that the "defections that existed from 1896 until very recently" among Iowa democrats "iavo practically disappeared. " He predicts that the "re alignment" ibrought about by the "now Is sues and new conditions will prove a very formidable menace , to the continuation of republican rule. " Mr. Walsh Is an optl- mlat In politics , and this Is not the first time ho has given public expression to his hoipo that the tlmo bad at last coaio when the party so long dominant In Iowa was to bo overthrown. Yet , when the votes wore counted , It has always ibeen seen that Mr. Walah was silent for a few days , and then explained how It happened to happen. Dubuque Times : The leading public men of Iowa are Inclined to shy at the suggestion : hat the mulct law needs amendment. They heaved a deep sigh of relief when that statute was adopted and the troublesome liquor question removed from Iowa politics , and the merest hint that the tlmo Is ripe for revision gives them a feeling of uneasiness. Once begin to tinker with the mulct law and you can't tell where the tinkering will end , Is their thqught on the subject. The ghost of prohibition appears whenever the .opla Is mentioned In republican circles , whllo the present leade-rs of the democratic party look upon all complaints against the existing law as having their origin In the desire of the old guard to got back to power in the party on the liquor laaue Nevertho- ess there Is a growing sentiment In the In terior of the state In favor of doing away with the petition of consent and substituting in election. Business men who want saloons lesltate to elgn petitions because the prohi bitionists examine these and then circulate counter petitions , some of the signers of which ask to have their names removed from the original petition. If the merchants refuse to sign the counter petition they make enemies. All this unpleasantness would be avoided and an honest expression of senti ment secured by leaving the matter to be decided by secret ballot. Iowa Nevmotc . The big Ice houses of the.
