Des Moines, Oct. 3.-Another novel
and attractive feature of the campaign
in the First district is the republican
quartet Of Wapello. The Rev. Mr..
Schwertert, a German Methodist minis
ter, is the leader and organizer of this
popular campaign singing club. The
other members are Ed Hicklin, r. g.
Hawkins, editor Of the Wapello Repub-
liean w. G. Otto and B. r. Leamon.
They are thoroughly trained singers and
have a lot of new and catchy songs t
which have delighted the audiences
wherever they have been heard. Mr..
Schwertert is a very capable and popu-
lar man and minister and is. like nearly
every other German in the country, \
deeply interested in the success of the
sound money cause. The quartet will be
heard in the great meeting to be held
In Wapello on the 9th Of October and
thruout the First congressional district |
| wherever their presence is desired. Al
ready they have number of invita-
| tons.

4 Iowa during the campaign, altho he has
.Ibaen repeatedly invited to do 80 by his
4 old democratic friends in the Second
district who would like to hear from
|him. Mr.. Irish, who now lives in Cali
i fornia, is a good deal such a speaker as1
Bourke Cochran. and has been doing
4 great work in Indiana. The reports from
4 that state say that he has taken hun

I democrats. He will go next to Kansas
s and probably to Nebraska. There is a
possibility that he may come to Iowa,
. but it is doubtful.
