Des Moines, Oct. 4.-SeveraI new
speakers have been secured by the re-
publican state committee who will be
especially valuable in the work they
will do in this campaign. James NJ.
Brenton, county superintendent Of Polk
county, will speak in the Second, Sixth,
Eighth and Ninth districts. Mr.. Bren-
eorcible, common sense way Of express
! ing them. He is not new to this work,
but has been one OF the most successful
lcampaigners in this county for several
years. He is good story teller and is
able to take care of himself upon all 9oc-
casions. He is full sized man in
every respect.
Judge John L. Stevens, of Boone
county, will put in two weeks toward
the latter end of the campaign, and he
Il is another good man who is we'll known
in the state, particularly in the north
ern part. He is an able lawyer, a ready
speaker and is we'll informed upon all
the issues
George e. Kollen. of Holland. Mich,
is coming for a few dates later on in

and residence indicate his speciality. He
lis in great demand on the national com-
lmittee's list and Mr. Dawson, manager
of the Iowa speakers bureau. considers
himself very fortunate to secure him.
4 o. F. Williams, who was consul at
Manila in the old Spanish days. and
1 who stood on the bridge with Dewey
when he attacked the Spanish fleet in
4 Manila bay on the first day Of May, 1898,
+ will make two speeches in Iowa during
4 the latter part of the month. He will
talk about imperialism and the Philip
pines with knowledge that comes first
hand. He knows what he is talking
about.
Every day Chairman Weaver receives
several letters from former supporters
Slof Bryan announcing their intention to
support Mckinley and Roosevelt. AS

!, latest is from Mr.. Thomas Davis, of Des
AIoines. He was delegate from Iowa

land was prominent among the silver re-
publicans who worked and voted for
Bryan in 1896. He explains in a pub
!, lished letter that while he was never a
I democrat. he was afraid the gold
q standard would injure the debtor and
laboring classes. He now thinks time
has demonstrated that he and Mr.. Bry-
an and his supporters We're wrong.
s Instead of labor, grain. land and every

verse is true" says Mr.. Davis. Labor

i
misunderstanding seems to preva
quite generally in regard to the qua
season The open season for quail i
Iowa is during the months of Noyembe
and December. Owing to a mistake in
state publication, a good many peop
and newspapers even have been led 4

months of October and November. tt

s. month of October is likely to get in,
to trouble and suffer severe penalty. II
