Special to Times Republican.
Des Moir-s, Oct. IA. B. Cummins
and T.. NJ. Shaw We're home over Sunday
from the speaking campaign and are out
again this week.
II have had fine meetings every
where" said Mr.. Cunlmins.
Governor Shaw has also had excellent
meetings. Both speakers are being
worked hard by the republican state
committee. Wherever 1t is possible to
do SO extra meetings are run in on these
speakers. The schedule for this week
was changed today by A. +. Lawson, In
charge of the speakers. On Saturday
evening Mr.. CummIns is given an extra
meeting. He speaks in Newton in the
afternoon and he has been given an
appointment at Grinnell for the even
ing. Shaw's dates were changed at the
last moment. Hewas to have spoken at
Humeston on the 18th, but news that a
case OF smallpox had appeared there
caused q change and he Will on that
date speak in Monroe In the afternoon
and Kellogg in the evening. He will
have long, hard trip to reach Ger
mania, almost on the north line of the
State, for an afternoon meeting on Fri
day. The demand for good speakers is
greater than the supply and but for the
fact that the republican party i'll Iowa
is pretty we'll supplied with good speak
ing material the committee would be up
against d hard proposition. The demand
for Mr. Cummins is especially strong. In
fact nothing like it has ever been known
in Iowa, for the fame of Mr.. Cummtns
as an orator has gone all thru the state.
Said Mr.. Dawson regarding this de-
mand:
"The pressure on the committee to
have. Mr.. Cummins come and speak is
almost irresistible. He is wanted in
every part Of the state. He has made
about twenty five speeches in the state
the past three weeks. and while he is IN
good form and holding up well under
the hard work this entails, we do not
Want to wear him out. For instance,
Saturday he had an afternoon meeting
at New. Hampton, His train was late
over from Charles City and he did not
have. time to get his dinner. He talked
UP to within ten minutes of train time
and started for Waverly. The train
from Sumner over to Waverly was late
and again he had no time for a supper
before beginning his speech. After the
night meeting he came on to Des Moines.
Such work Is wearing on the strongest
constitutions. The campaign is about
one-half done. AT the best Mr.. Cummins
ean not make more than about twenty
five more speeches. One Of those will
probably be in Des Moines. That will be
the only speech in his own district. Yet
the demand for him continues from all
quarters. The other day the county
chairman and two others from county
in the south part of the state made the
trip to DEG Moines to insist on having
Cummins in their county. He would be
welcome in every county and town of
the state. We merely do the best we,
can"
A big northeastern Iowa political
meeting has been arranged for at De-
corah for Friday, Oct. %, with Senator
Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, and Sem
ator Allison, as the speakers. Nelson
will draw big crowd of the Scandina-
vians and the rally will have an impor-
tant bearing on the result in that part
of the state.
Governor Shaw goes to st. Louis to-
day, where he is to speak before the st.
Louis Republican Club this evening.
The governor has been unusually sue
cessful in his talks before clubs and as
sociations of this kind in other statees.
His Nebraska dates have been fixed, but
the places where he speaks have not
been announced. He will speak Nov. ]
and 9 in that state, by special request OF
the state central committee. He has
received notice of the dates of only two
of his Ohio dates. He is to be in Ohio
all of next week, and has been asked If
he could be on hand Monday so as to
make two speeches. He will speak in
Clyde, sandusky county, Oct %, and in
Norwalk Oct. 90. This week is his last
full week in Iowa.
