Show BELIEVES Willi IlLJEjLECTED Iowa Politician Declares Country Looks Like a Democratic Victory. "It will please some of my friends and j displease others, but the 'fact remains that after a quiet little campaigning of my own m the middle aud extreme west T have come to the conclusion that the outlook, politically, looks rosy for President Yvood.ruw Wilson,'' said Maurice Coniiolly o'f Dubuque, la., at the Hotel Utah.
