Des Moines, Sept. 21.-A marked im- |
proyement in political conditions in the |
|state has been noticed at the republican
state headquarters during the past
week. The people are beginning to wake
Iup. The work that Chairman Weaver
has been doing thru his splendid state
organization has begun to tell. Signs
| of activity are manifested all over the
state. There is an eager demand for
meetings and a willingness to cooper
ate to make them successful The
meetings thus far held have been very
satisfactory. The audiences have been
large and the spirit manifested has
been as enthusiastic as could be asked
for. The requests for information and
assistance of all kinds that have been
sent out from headquarters in Des
A1oines have met with a willing and ef-
Ifective response.
j. is only the usual thing that the
lcampaign in ordinary years does not
warm up in Iowa until the first of Oc-
Itober. The evidences that Iowa is con-
Isidered a sure republican state have
lbeen SO numerous and SO little has been
done TO make 1t appear to be at all
doubtful in any way that it has had
the effect of making this presidential
iIalection in iowa seem like an off-year,
! lit has been so quiet. Nowthat the first
|of October is approaching and the
|speakins campaign is well under way,
political activity maybe expected and
ldoes in fact exist thrIout the state.

business interests generally appear to
be convinced of the Importance OF this
Eelection and will take the same attl-

suit of Bryan's election would be the
same this year that it was in 1896.
