paign will be in full swing by the end |
Of this week on the hrst Of next week.
Chairman Dawson, of the speakers de-
partment OF the state central commit
tee. has already got sixty-fve meetings
announced in different parts Of the
state.
Senator Dolliver begins HIS campaign

man Hepburn speaks on the same day

when he may have a few dates in Iowa
just on the eve OF the election.
Senator Allison will commence at
Clinton on Sept. 20. and has promised
tomake at least one speech in each con-
gressional district in the state. From
Iowa he will go out into Idaho and
other doubtful western states, where
the republicans propose this year to
make strong fight. Senator Shoup, of
Idaho. is one of the republican senator's
whose term expires on the 4th OF next
March and both democrats and repub-
leans are making great effort to elect
his successor. Senator Allison will help
the republicans in that state and they
have strong hopes Of being able to carry
the state.
During the last week DR.. John "A.
Enander. OF Chicago, made a tour of the
state. addressing the Scandinavian
voters in their own language. He was
by State Senator G. j. a.
Ericsson, OF Boone, and their last meet
ing was held at Sioux City last Friday
night. Reports from these meetings in
dictate that they were very satisfactory
and that good interest was mani
Tested.
An important feature OF the coming
campaign will be the efforts put forth
by both parties to secure the German
vote. The democrats are especially de-
sirous OF capturing this vote, hoping
thereby not so much to carry the state,
but to elect o member Of congress in
the Second district. The republicans are
also striving to retain the large share of
this vote which came to them as are
suit of the adop tion Of the 16 to 1 plank
lin the Chicago platform. Both parties
realize that the campaign in the Sec
ond district will be one OF the most
closely contested of any in the state
and both parties are prepares TO do
their utmost to secure the majority Of
the votes in that district. During the
ensuing week speeches will be made by
Mr.. i. Wreck of New York and Mr.
John Razall Of Cincinnati, in the Ger
man language. Both of these gentle
men are prominent Germansrepublicans
and come to Iowa well recommended as
eloquent speakers. They are under the
auspices OF the national commttte, and
Mr.. Razall, at least, will remain In the
state for some time. 1t is expected that
lother German speakers will also NIL ap-5
lpoir,tments in the different districts.
Mr.. Rankin. the famous iron moulder
Orator, who has made 50 many cam
paigns in this state. is now speaking un-
| der the auspices of the national COM
mittee in South Dakota, but the COM
mittee promises that he shall come to
4 Iowa for tsleast week near the close
| Of the campaign, and 1t Is probable that
he will he billed for Clinton the night
before election. ,
Secretary Of State Dobson, who is
campaigning in South Dakota, will als3
fill dates in Iowa later on in the cam-
4 paign.
DR.. E. r. Hutchins. who goes to In

THE REPUBLICAN, ORGANINA-s

The republican committee is we'll
pleased with the promptness with which
the different county organizations have
been completed and reported to- head
4 quarters. There are but four counties
remaining which have not reported
