Des Moines, Oct. 26.-The republican
state committee desires to impress
upon the republican voters Of the state
the fact that it is their duty to do ev-
erything possible to secure a full poll
Of the republican votes on the 9Th of
November. The campaign is practical
ly at close and about all that remains
to be done is to make proper arrange
ments for getting out the vote. The
committee has urged upon the people
the danger which the ticket may be |
called upon to meet from stay-at-home
voters in some OF the districts
"The republicans have lost heavily |
in the years since 1896 from stay-at-
home voters" said Chairman Weaver.
"and in 1898 had the democrats pOlled
4 their full strength they would have
elected congressman in the majority Of
| the districts of the state. Every re-
publican voter should bear this in mind
/ and determine for himself that he will
mot jeopardize the success of the par
ty by remaining away from the polls
There is another element of dan
ger in the close congressional districts
of the state, and that is the effect of
personal solicitation that is being
made by the democrats for republican
4 votes for their candidates for congress.
In these districts they are trading ev-
4 erythfng for votes for the congressional
1 candidates and are willing to make all
most any concession for a republican
i vote for congressman. Every republic
can should bear in mind the fact that
1T may be possible that one vote may
4 turn the scale in favor of the demo-
1 cratic candidate and that a democratic
4 congressman from Iowa may possibly
4 be able to give the organization of the
next house to the democrats and there
4 Eby defeat the reelection OF Col Hen
derson as speaker. Not only republican
q principles, but every feeling of state
!. pride should revolt against this. Iowa
now stands at the head of all the
s. states Of the union in the prestis of
. her members Of congress and every re-
publican voter in the state should feel
, proud position.
. THE committee also wishes to urge
upon local committees and precinct
5. chairmen the necessity of seeing to it
> that there is full registration of re-
: publican voters, for upon this depends
) the size Of the republican vote in the
!, cities. a full registration makes it
: reasonably certain that there will be a
ly..1 ~ Il
4 republican victory. Every republican
/. Svote so far as possible, should be in the
t ballot box by noon on election day and
9 then the afternoon should be devoted TO
c bringing in such voters to the polls as
4 have not already voted. In order to get
r this class of voters out it will be neces-
: sary for the committee to have plenty
Z of teams and also that great care
e should be taken in checking the voters
e who have already been TO the pools.
The republican state central com
mittee believes that the result of this
e campaign in Iowa will be Very salts.
