Makes an Eloquent and Impressive
Gampatgn Speech.

Campaign Speech.
Special to mes-Republican.
Clinton, Oct l3-The republican cam
paign was opened in this city last night
with a rousing meeting, Hon. a. b.
Cummins being the speaker. The meet
ing was held at the Davis opera house,
which was crowded to the doors, there
being many ladies in the audience. The
speaker frequently elected prolonged
and loud applause, especially when a
reference was made to the soldiers in the
Philippines or the Spanish-American
war. He alluded in eloquent terms to
the battleship Iowa, which led in the
memorable attack at Santiago. He said
the heart OF every man but one (mean-
ing Fred White) thrilled with pride
when it was made known that the Iowa
held the place of honor in that final en-
counter of the war. He said Fred White
sat silent in that hour of rejoicing. The
reason for this was obvious. In the
Fifty-second congress. of which Candi-
date White was a member, he voted
against The proposition to build the
Iowa at every opportunity.
He said he was not worried over the
charges of the democrats that we are
mutilating the situation, as this was
their cry during every campaign. In
reference to the Philippines he said the
democrats expected to ride into power
on Trojan horse labeled The Philip
pines" Inside this horse, he said. were
the true soldiers of democracy and their
war cry is free silver.
He talked at length on the Philippine
situation, reviewed carefully the finan-
ciai condition of the country, discussed
trusts and other leading issues.
Mr.. Cummins said he believed Fred
White to be an honest man, but unfit tc

cause he does not possess a clear con-
ception of national needs, nationa
growth, what nation is and how Il
must be perpetuated. His views upor

sPEAKERsHlp CONTEST.
Only Phase of Senatorial Figkt Now
Attracting A ttentfon

Attracting Attention.
Des Moines, Oct. 13.-The speaker
ship contest is about the only phase of
the senatorial fight which is now re-
ceiving much attention. The Cummins
people have been first to show their
hand, in the announcement that they
are for Eaton. They declare their con-
fidence that Eaton is stronger than
Cummins and that they will easily or
ganiez the house The Gear people do
not seem to have determined who will
be their candidate. DR.. Prentis, of
Ringgold county, seems now to be the
most likely man. He is popular and,
having served two terms, will be, ex-
cept Putnam, of Pottawattamie, the
only third termer in the house.
Gear leader said that he confident
ly expected something would be known
in week or two as to the policy of the
Gear organization in the matter of
speakership. 1T has been the hope of
the Gear men, he said, that we
might organize. the house without car
rylng on the fight on senatorial lines.
But the Cummins people seem deter
mined to force the fight in that direc-
ton, and if they do so it will of course
be necessary for us to take up the
gauge and fight them on their own
ground. No; I doubt if anybody could

Nav increase Rates.

Des Moines, Oct. 13.-There seems to
be a feeling among railroad men that
the present interstate freight rates
ought to be advanced. There has really
been no advance in freight rates since
the marked Improvement of the, times
set in prominent railroad man said
to a reporter recently that he was
satisfied that his line would adj
vance rates the first of the year. He
said that there was not a shipper on
his line but what was getting a much
larger profit on his goods, through bet
ter prices, than he did a year or two
years ago, and that it was no more
than fair that the railroads should also
be allowed to get some increase for
hauling these goods
At regular meeting of the Central
Freight Association this week it is
probable that an agreement Will be
reached whereby considerable adj
vance in rates on all commodities will
be decided upon to take effect Jan. 1.
Traffic officials declare that it is folly
for the railroads to continue to make
hard times" rates, when 1t is now Inn
possible for them to secure enough
cars to haul all the business that is
offered to them. 1t has already been
decided that the coal roads in he Ohio
and Pennsylvania districts will ad-
vance the rates Is cents ton on coal
for Chicago, to take effect No. 1. 1t is
probable that the raise in rates by
western lines will effect coal and mer-
