Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and 6entlemen:-Tt

issues Of the day.

favorable opportunities In life have qualified
them TO become practical teachers upon ques-
tions OF political importance - US all.
Il Il matter of sinc0ro eradication to
feel that In gatherings OF the masses OF our
people like this, We can calmly and dispas-
aionAtoly conoloor ne great questions tAat
divide VI into Political parties and thereby
become betAer prepared to discharge our du.

depend wholly upon the intelligence and pa
triOtssm OF it, subjects for Ito continued
prosperity.
while / shall leave to others the discuss,en
OF questions upon which orr people have
heretofore disagreed. feel compelled By the
gravity Of the Gituatiou in congress-, -
view II, 70 call your attention to that sub
Ject.
The year that 10 drawing to : close Is. In
my Judgment, laden with events OF more
vital importance 10 this republic than any
that have transpired since the close Of our
civil war.
1t 10 true " are now . In the past. q
issue upon questions Of both . local and
national character. Here In Iowa we cannot
agree - to whether prohibition Il the better
mode Or controlling tae trafnc 10 intoxicating
liquors. Some Of ue believe In protective
tariff, others In . tariff for revenue only with
such incidental protection - 1t will furnish.
Some believe In civil service reform, others
in the doctrine that TO the victor belongs the
spoils.
So long . these and Ike issues are al that
divide the American people the foundation OF
this republic Will mot DO shaken. It would
easily endure for al time TO come sny shock
that could result from . conflict Of opinion
on subjects OF this character without refer
esce to the question OF how they wsre de-
cidOd.
Inc adoption OF one poncy instead OF the
glasses OF our people, retard the growth OF
our state ara perhaps prevent Just Ana
equAl distribution OF all the blessings OF our
government. but 1t would not threaten ito
stability nor permanently impair its ad-
VANTAGE ovsr al Other governments - yet
