Is not making any speeches. He is working for
the success of the entire state and legislative
tickets, and feels confident of success. He ex-
pressed the opinion while here that Iowa, by

publican, and be in line for the presidential
campaign of next year, with republicans in
control OF all departments. Mr.. Wheeler left
here for Burlington last night.

the Opera House last night The attendance
was large and the enthusiasm intense. The
demonstration was one that showed conclu-
sively that Iowa republicans everywhere this

the column in which it properly belongs. Gen.

speeches in this state. and viii close his tour at
Des Moincs on Wednesday. When seen today
he said ne did not entertain the slightest fear
for the result in this state. OF Wheeler's
election he felt absolutely certain. He said:
lit Will be by such a plurality as will
carry all the ticket with him. Republicans
everywhere are getting in line. They do not
propose to sacrifice the party simply for the
sake If the saloon. Try as they may democrats
cannot delude them into the belief that prohi-
bition is the only issue in the state this fall
They have before them the fate of the Michi-
gan republicans, who foolishlv intrusted the
democrats with brief political power. and do
not propose to have a similar game played
upon them. and one that might possibly en-
danger the success of the presidential ticket
next year. Iowa republicans don't intend to
be gulled in that manner"
