morning and will speak from the stand
in the East Side park, where Tom Reed
spoke, at p M, and will leave over
the B.. c. r. & N. for Cedar Rapids. I'll
is fifty-two miles from Waterloo to Ce-
dar Rapids. and the railroad people have
promised to make it in an hour, arriv-
ing in Cedar Rapids about o'clock and
remaining until $50. 1t Is seventy
seven miles from Cedar Rapids to Dav-
export, and 1t will not be safe to expect
the Roosevelt party in Davenport before
1870.
"A letter was received at republican
state headquarters yesterday from the
mayor OF West Liberty, saying that he
noticed the Roosevelt train was to pass,
thru West Liberty on its way to Dav-s
export. and he hoped it would be pos
sible to secure q ten minute speech at
that point from Governor Roosevelt. It
he could have the promise of just ten
minutes OF the governors valuable time,
he said, he would agree to have an au-
dience of several thousand there to hear
him, and it would be good place for
him to be heard. An effort will be made
to grant this request, tho it is by no.
means certain that 1t can be done. Gov
ernor Roosevelt is working harder than
any other man in the United States just
now. He is making from three to
dozen speeches every day and, while he
Is both physically and intellectually a
giant, it is wearing on him, and by the
time he gets to Iowa he ought to be
tired. He is Very willing to speak wller-
ever he ~ 'wanted, even tho it be at con-
siderable physical discomfort to him
self. He enjoys his campaign tour as
much as he did his ranch life on the
plains
For the Waterloo meeting the Illinois
Central will run excursion trains from
Sioux City and from Dubuque, and also,
on the northern division, from the Min
snesota line. The B., z. r. & n. will run
numerous trains both ways. The Chi
scago Great Western will have a big
train from Des Moines and from other
points north of Waterloo. "A train load
lis being made up. beginning at Boone
on the Northwestern, going to Marshall-
town and thence to Waterloo over the
Great Western. Another big crowd is
coming from Oskalcosa on the Iowa.
Central to Marshalltown, thence to Wa
yterioo over the Great Western. The
Rock Island will have numerous excur-S
5sions for the Davenport meeting. and
the Northwestern. b, G.. r. & n. and
Milwaukee lines will run special trains
for the Cedar Rapids meeting. AT Wa
sterloo there will be both afternoon and
evening meetings. The meetings In the
evening will be addressed by Senator
Allison. Judge f. r., Seeds, Senator Null
Ian and probably Col. Henderson. Chair
man Clark Of the Linn county central
committee was here yesterday trying to
arrange to have a special from Wat rloo
TO Cedar Rapids follow the Roosevelt
special, bringing the other speakers so
that they can be heard both in Waterloo
and Cedar Rapids 81
Another car load of literature was re-
sceived at republican state headquarters
yesterday. 1t takes fifteen or twenty
clerks to handle the literary department
this year. Some days as high as six
tons have been cent out at one time.
The demand for literature is very lively
and especially among the voters them
selves. Thousands and thousan ds of
documents of all kinds have, been sent
out in response to personal requests re
sceived by Chairman Weaver. This is
taken as the best evidence of the deep,
quiet interest in the Issues of the cam
paign. The people are too busy to spend
their time on the street corner or any
other loafing place talking politics, but
they are thinking and will vote with full
information. That, said Chairman
Weaver, is all we want The litera-
ture being distributed this year by the
Republican state committee Is purely
made up OF a strong presentation Of
facts and figures. AZ this Is "a business
campaign, in which business issues are
chiefly involved, the literary bureau has
been engaged in making the best show
ing for the administration, thing
which 1t Is very easy to do out Of the
unanswerable statistics of the govern
ment reports. Any one who is seeking
light on any question that is being dis
cussed in this campaign can procure in
formation Of the highest authority by
addressing H. O. Weaver, chairman OF
the republican state committee, OF Des
Moines.
A. c. Rankin. the molder orator OF
Pennsylvania, has been speaking IN the
Black Hills of South Dakota for some
time He says that the situation up
there is little short>of a stampede to the
republican party. It is almost lfhani-
nous where he has been, and tiie iex-
pressions Of the people are such, he .says.
az to leave no doubt whateversof the re-
suit in that state. The Black Hills, 1t
will be remembered, voted for Bryan in
1896.
Congressman Hepburn has just come
home from a campaigning trip in Kan
sas, where he says he has had tremen-
dous meetings, and thousands of the
voters who supported Bryan in 1896 are
now shouting for Mckinley. The judg-
ment OF the most conservative politi-
ciansin that state. he says. that the
state Is going republican this fall by
from 10000 to 30 900 ma ority. S
