Des Moines, Nov 1.-The political
campaign is receiving its finishing
touches, and the republican headquar-
ters in the Equitable building will soon
be closed. This place has not been so
much sought out by the visitors to Des
Moines this year as last year. when the
presidential campaign was on, but 1t has
been busy place for six weeks or more
and nothing has been left undone that
was for the good of the republican party
in Iowa AS for the other headquarters,
they have been open, but the business
done has been insignificant. 1t has been
distinctly a one-party campaign. Prep
al ations have been made for receiving

date benefit of the information OBJ

Some OF the meetings have been
interfered with on account or smallpox
ard similar troubles. AT Montour where
Col Palmer spoke there was small

on the reservation near by. In this
county it has been found hard to have
any meetings at all. The republican
county chairman got together party OF
