Des Moines. Oct. 9.Congressman z
John "A. T. Hull is at home and will
spend nearly all the rest OF the cam
paign in Iowa. He begins his speaking
campaign at Keosauqua tomorrow
night. His return is not an indication
that there is any trouble in Iowa or
that he is needed in his own district. He I.
comes out OF Difference to the wishes of
the republicans Of the state and OF the
Seventh district especially, who want
him to stir things up and by his pres
ence persuade all republicans to vote
this year.
Capt. Hull has been spending his time
|up to the present in the service OF the
party in the nation. He is another Of
the big national characters built up by /
the Iowa policy OF usually keeping first
class men in congress as long as they |
want to stay. He Is chairman OF the |
executive committee Of the republican
national congressional committee, with
headquarters in Chicago, where he has
been most Of the time for several
months This committee has been Civ
ling its attention exclusively to the work
lof organizing the close congressional
districts and helping to make as many
OF them as possible surely republican.
The chairman OF the committee is j. w.
Babcock, OF Wisconsin. The committee
has been doing most effective work and.
ttho there is no doubt about the next
congress being very close. they expect
to have republican majority to re-
elect Speaker Henderson. The work OF
tCapt. HuIl's committee, making 1t ex-
lclusiyely it's business to look after the
close districts. will have contributed
very large share to this result.
Capt. Hull said yesterday that he was
very confident the Second and Sixth dis
-ltricts Of Iowa. the only ones in which
democrats are pretending to make any
fight at all, will go republican. The
4 lSecond district has been considered
a close and doubtful until within the
Z past week, when those best informed
,Ihaye seen evidences that nearly all the
