Des Moines, Aug. 3-One OF the many
guerilla circulars sent about the state
in opposition to the candidacy ossA. b.
Cummins for governor is headed, aSome
reasons why seventy five democratic
newspapers in Iowa are supporting a.
B. Cummins for the republicans nomina-
tion for governor" Then follows STATE
ments. some of them true but the more
important ones wholly false intended to-
convey the impression that Cummins 10

publican party and its principles. AZ. 81
matter Of fact democratic newspapers Of
Iowa are not supporting Cummins at
all. If one was to run down Charley
Walsh's list of democratic papers in
Iowa and pick out those that are sup
porting the candidacy of Cummins he
would find precious few of them to be-
checked off. If these vendors of circu-
lars had printed along with their false
hoods by inference and innuendo the
following extract from the speech Mr..
Cummins delivered before the Polk
county republican convention in this
city in May last, at the opening of the
campaign, they would have given the
n 1o
know what kind of democrat Cum
minis is. He said on that occasion.
Il know you will stand by me- I be-
lieve the people Of Iowa will stand by
me. And If they do, the only pledge that
i can give to them is that from morn
till night in every conscious hour Of my
existence. will do what can for the
interests of the people, and all the peo-
pie; whether they be high or low; rich
or poor; whether they be corporate or
individual. recognize that these per.
sonal allusions. however, are Of less con-
sequence than those great eternal prin-
eipals of the party to which we; AL be-;
long, and while I will not detain you hut
q moment. wish to refer you to some
;of the things that must stir every patri-
otic heart. and make every fibre IN. his
being ring and ring again with pride as
he looks over the history of the last
forty five years. Whatever there is good
in the government of the United States
is the product of repub,icanism. and re-
publican principals. Wherever pros
perity prevails-and thank God its ter
sritory is now only bounded by the ter
riory in which flies in triumph the stars
and stripes-wherever 1t prevails, there
republicanism is the cherished creed OF
the people. The citizen is happy and
contented and thanks God morning and
night for the protection and splendor of
Old Glory which floats over him
The republican party appreciates. as
no other party has ever understood or
appreciated, the real relations which ex-
list and ought to exist between the ;peo-
pie and the government. On the one
hand it has watchful and tender care
for him who by the sweat of his brow
earns his daily food. Upon the other,
1t has protective arm which holds in
safety those great interests upon which
so largely depend our advancement and
development. 1t his taken up, and 1t
will carry gloriously forward the great
problem which has so emphatically pre-
sented itself to our people, how they
can best regulate. how they can best
destroy the evil, which has grown out OF
the tendency of our civil,zafon. We
have been confronted with problems the
like of which our forefathers never
dreamed of, and they would be as pow
erless to enter upon the solution of these
great problems as the children who
walk our streets from day to day in
daily attendance OF our public institu-'
tions But we, with a better light, with
a wider knowledge with the still more
patriotic impulse, grapple with forti-
tude and determination these great
questions that we must settle, and must
settle right if we would prepetuate the.
peace and the prosperity of our beloved
country.
THE republican party. too. is the only
political organization which has tust
notion of the dignity Of the United
States and the necessity of expanding
our territory wherever the people In
viteand are willing to accept the JUS
tice of our institutions and the protec-
tion of our flag. Aye. as 1 look back over
the history of the United States during
all the years since the birth OF the re-
publican party 1t is inseparably associ-s
ated with the history of our party. We
see our star Of hope rising out OF the
waters of the Atlantic, we see It beam
ing over the crest of the Alleghanies, we
see it sweeping acrols the fertile prair-
les and the plains that lie IN the valley
of the Mississippi; we see it passing
over the summit of the Rock nAounains
We seen it shining on the golden shores
of the Pacific. But 1t delayed not there,
and presently the flag Of our sovereign-
ty was flying In the islands Of the Pa
cific, more than 1000 miles west Of the
Golden Gate. But still the star. Of the re-
public halted not, and under the provi-
denc of God and the stern decrees OF
war. Dewey planted the stars and
stripes In the soil of the Philippines,
there to remain SO long as the govern
ment of the United States is Just and
strong. We have great mission TO
perform. We are the strongest, most
competent. most aggressive people on
the face Of the earth. Whatever there
is good In civilization. the best = in
America, and be assured that these,
questions which are now hoyering over
the orient, questions which We must les
eide, America shall bear her full reepon4
