Davenport After leaving West Lib.
serty the indicator 10 President Ives,s
private car showed thAt the train was
making seventy-nine miles per hour.
After leaving Waterloo. no stops were
made until Cedar Rapids was reached
at p. M.
There was a crowd OF fully II, 900 peo-
pie gathered around the park opposite;
the union sta tion. and 81 as the train
pulled In the party was greeted With
deafening cheers. Governor RdAsevelt
and party left the train ana were ea-,
corted to q stand q short i1tance from
the track. The speakers here were
Governor Roosevelt. Governor Shaw
Senator Dolliver and Gen. Guild. The
reception given the party was sof the.
most cordial sort. Governor Roosevelt.
spoke briefly. bat was fiequentiy Inter
rupted by applausc sss !. n
Among the many good features Of
the meeting was the address OF Sens
etor Dolliver to the travelling men. He
referred to the prosperity that had
come to the people and to them and
said that he was assured that much OF
the credit for the election Of Mckinley
s IN 1896 was due to the work OF the
thousands OF travelling men who. going
up and down; the land i were >mission-
aries OF q Commercial gospel that did
much to convince the people that the
policy Of the republican party was core
rect. He told them that they were to-
day facing the same issues as In. 1896
and they should stand shoulder to
shoulder for sound money! now as
then.
The train left Cedar Rapids at s
o'clock and made the run to West Lib
erty in less than an hour. Here there
was an immense crowd at the station
platform and while engines were being
changed Governor Roosevelt made q
short address. He said that this was
an important district and one where
every republican should be alive and
active in behalf fthe ticket. He
asked the people to question the dmo-
4 cratic candidate for congress closely
and ask him if he does not believe that
u elected Bryan proposes to pay the
obligations OF the government in Sill
yer, a. he has promised, and to ask
him II he does not propose. Il elected to
congress. to aid Bryan in carrying out
such action. At the close Of his adj
dress one Of the men in the audience
cried out that he wanted to shake
hands with him. Governor Roosevelt
s said that might be rather difficult to
do on account Of the crowd. but IL they
would form in line he would ehake
hands until the train started. This was
done and hundreds shook him by the
{ hand.
At Davenport there was g big crowd
and the meeting was a fitting close to a
tour OF the state that for size Of the
4 crowds that greeted the speakers has
never been equalled In Iowa.
S In speaking of It Chairman Weaver
said last night:
perhaps never in Iowa has there
been such an outpouring OF the people
& before. They came from everywhere
and this, in fact, may truthfully be
said to be great republican state
meeting. The people came to see the
n embodiment Of Americanism.T They look
upon Governor Roosevelt as the repre-
y sentative of that Americanism which
I has carried the flag to the very front
among the nations Of the earth: of that
ssAmericanism which believes in Ameri-
can valor, American civilization, Amer
lean honesty and American enterprise.
The people came to see such q man and
were not disappointed. Any one listen
inE TO the cheers and seeing the
4, crowds rush to touch the hand Of the
/. man who is the ideal American
4 candidate could not but feel
{ that this has been one OF
= the greatest days In Iowa history.
And 1t was also great because the man
whom the thousands came to see was
Il not only q representative American,
Z. but q representative OF republicanism.
;sThis great gathering could not be
Z otherwise than republican.
ut seems to me there can be no
d question but that today u the climax
y In the campaign In Iowa. The tour OF
Governor Roosevelt thruout the state
Z has kindled such an enthusiasm as will
make the pralrieS OF Iowa blaze with
the ardor Of republication and must
develop in our people that energy OF
purpose 90 will lead them TO labor from
.Snoyss until election day that every re-
publican vote shall be polfed. =
s. Referring to the Fremonters. who
were present in large numbers, Chair
man Weaver said: It was one OF the
best features Of the day. It showed
( that the spirit OF republicanism has not
been dimmed and that the men who
were present ct the birth Of our party
are with US Just as enthusiastically and
earnestly today - swhen the party nrst
{ became . political factor. !"
The meeting here last night was 9
