<em>Iowa Staats-Anzeiger,</em> Iowa Press Review
support for Anti-Monopoly party; woman suffrage; Republican party; party allegiance of German voters; Des Moines City License referendum; Turner Picknick; opinions of Davenport Demokrat, Carroll Demokrat, Dubuque National-Demokrat, Elkader Herold, Clinton Volkszeitung, Lansing Post, Dubuque Times, State Register, Dubuque Herald
Eiboeck reviews both German and English newspapers in the state regarding matters of interest to "liberal" German voters. Some German papers have endorsed the Anti-Monopoly party ticket, while others advise rejecting the party, which refused to include a saloon licensing plank in its platform. Additional columns concern German positions on woman suffrage and the Republican party.
