Excerpt from The Messages and Proclamations of the Governors of Iowa, Vol. 6 This volume of the Messages and Proclamations of the Governors of Iowa includes the messages and proclama tions of Governor William Larrabee and Governor Horace Boies - two of the most remarkable of the long line of State Governors. The administration of Governor Larra bee (1886 - 1890) is characterized chiefly by an anti-railroad attitude and by a strong advocacy of prohibition as applied to the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. On the other hand the administration of Governor Boies (1890 1894) is unique in that it is the only Democratic administra tion since the organization of the Republican party in 1856.
