Republicans Of /oWa:-GEHTLEMEN:-The
effort of the State Central Committee to
do some active work at a season of the
year when the public mind is not under
the pressure OF personal and party con.
test, continues to receive hearty, and in
many cases, enthusiastic endorsement II
the committee were to publish the names
of those who have given the movement
their cordial approval, the list would in
clude not only a large number Of the
recognized and trusted leaders, but scores
and hundreds Of those who, while not
aspiring 10 leadership, are, in quiet way,
the strength and support of the organiza
ton in their respective communities.
1t is especially gratifying that so large a
number of farmers and laboring men ex-
press their approval of this work and their
desire to have hand in it. The opinion
is often expressed that it has not been com
menced too soon and cannot be prosecuted
too vigorously.
Much information comes to the commit.
tee OF the activity ofour political opponents
who, under the guiSe of commercial free
dom and tariff for revenue only, and

and cn culated at the cost of British manu-

in New York, are seeking to iaSten on this

| tive purposes. The committee have been
giving such circulation as they could, TO
some carefully prepared facts and argu-
ments on this subject, and requests made
of the chairman in this particular will
continue to be promptly replied to. This
will be kept up as long as the demand lasts
or the means at his command hold out.
As previously stated, the expense of this
work Is borne and must continue to be-
by the voluntary contributions of citizens
Of Iowa, who believe in the principles oil
the Republican party and wish TO see them
prevail. There is no British gold at cur
command Working for the establishment
of the American system, the development
of American industry, and the prosperity
and welfare Of the American people, and
especially for those that dwell within the
borders of our own State, we must depend
on home contributions for the necessary
funds.
We very much desire the cooperation
OF the committees, clubs and individuals If
the work of organizing, strengthening anc
putting into good shape for future cam
paigns the good old Republican patty o
Iowa The outlook is encouraging.
wears experience has demonstrated anew
the insinceritv ofthe Democratic cry for re
form, and Democratic incapaclty to ef
ficiently and faithfully manage the affair
Of the government. The Republican
party must be ready TO assume contro
again of the business of the nation. One
term OF the Pan Electric administration
will be all that will be wanted by the
American people. Let the Republicans
set their house In order and be prepared to
do their part in the great work that is be-
fore them. On behalf Of the committee,
CHARLES BRARDsLEY, Chairman,
