of the Results-How it Is Done.
Des Moines. Ia. Oct. 26.-Chairman
Mcmillan is confident CT the success OF
the Republican ticket by a good sized
majority, but he realizes that the feel
ing Of security among the Republicans
may result in cutting down the $4,000
highwater mark Of last year. In an
authorized interview with the repre-
sentative he said: Early in the cam
paign there was quite widespread and
deep-seated feeling that the Republic
cans would have a very large majority
without active effort on their part, and.
as a consequence, there was not that
activity and interest in the campaign
that usually exist in Iowa. But as the
campaign progresses the people are be-
coming aroused and are beginning TO
realize the Importance Of decisive VIC
tory this year. While it is true that
Iowa went Republican last year by
nearly $4,000 plurality, our nominal plu-
rality is only about 80. 900. Nearly So
600 Democrats did not vote last year.
This year the Democratic organization
is making a great effort to get the full
Democratic vote to the polls.
The Democratic managers have also
raised large campaign fund, and are
acting in harmony with the Third Party
Prohibitionists They evidently have
formed an alliance for the purpose OF
making war on Republican candidates.
Eevery effort will be put forth by the
Democratic committee at headquarters
to arouse enthusiasm in their party,
and an endeavor will be made to i'm
press their workers and organizers with
the belief that they have a chance to
win this fight. The Republican organi-
cation in Iowa is, however, very COM
plete this year, and / think we will car
ry the state by as large a majority
as Governor Jackson did two years ago.
General Drake is making a splendid
canvass of the state and is growing in
popularity every day. The general is
man of great moral courage, and is
splendid fighter now, as he was in the
war during the great battles of the re-
bellion, and wherever he has held meet
ings the people gather in great crowds
to near him and become very enthusiast
tic in his support. Senator Allison is
also having wonderful meetings wher-
ever he goes. He is making the great
est speeches this year that he ever made
in his life. They are not only great in
subject matter but he is delivering them
with great force and effect. / never
the one he delivered at Marshalltown
at the opening of the campaign. Sena-
tor Allison is wonderfully popular with
our people. In fact, our whole people
are practically wrapped up in the sem
ator and hope to see him president. This
is not confined TO Republicans alone,
but many prominent Democrats, who
fully appreciate his worth and greatness
join with the Republicans in this de-
sire.
by the way, my attention has been
called to an interview published in some
of the Chicago papers a few days ago
in which / am made to say that "Sena-
tor Quay. Senator Plat, Joe Manley,
General Clarkson, Senator Davis and
Senator Pettigrew are ali pledged to
western man. and are working to Sc
did not make any such statement as
that attributed to me, and do not know
what the intentions of the gentlemen
above referred to are with reference to
the presidency further than what l have
learned from the newspapers. / do
know, though, that Senator Allison, as
a presidential candidate, is gaining
for the presidential Office is being rec
ognized all over the United States, not
only in the west, but in the east also,
as is evidenced by the many letters that
l am receiving at Republican headquar-
tiers from prominent Republicans who
desire to become interested in behalf Of
Mr.. Allison.
THE time has come when the great
west will necessarily exercise a large in
fluence in choosing a candidate for the
and there is no state in the
entire west more worth of recognition
than Iowa. During all the years that
have passed Iowa has always stood firm
for protection and sound finance, In
the great landslide three years ago,
when so many Republican states went
Democratic. Iowa stood steadfast and
gave upwards OF 10000 majority for Har
rison and protection. In Senator Alli-
son we have an ideal candidate, sound
and conservative upon all public Ques-
tons. yet liberal and progressive, a
candidate who we believe possesses the
full confidence Of the east and who
would arouse wonderful enthusiasm
among the people of the west. AS 1 have
said, the senator is daily growing as a
candidate, and by the time
the national convention meets l believe I
he will be recognized on all hands as
the candidate who can most surely lead .
US to victory"
