Democratic committee, they are ney-
ertheless having an effect most bene.
fetal to the Republican cause. Any.
thing like full vote means a larger
Republican plurality than has ever
been known in state campaign and
therefore. the size OF the victory rests
altogether with the Republican voters
themselves"
Speaking Campaign to Be Pressed.
The campaign will be pushed with
vigor by the state committee from
now until election day. All the local
speakers win be drafted into service
and as many as possible secured from
outside the state. The speakers Blu.

wards OF so speakers in the field at
the present time. This. however, does
not represent the number OF party
workers that are on the stump. For
instance, the chairman of Mills county
reports that during the remainder OF
October 81 meetings win be held In
his county under the auspices of the
county committee, which meetings will
be addressed by 40 speakers. It will
be seen. therefore. that the assignments
made by the state committee consti.
tute but small part of the meetings
which are being held over the state.
Big Crowds Hear cummIns.
Mr.. Cummins' remarkable speaking
tour continues. The enthusiasm with
which he is received is undated and
despite the one sided nature of the
contest his audiences are among the
largest which ever greeted a candi.
date for Office in the state. Every.
where the halls and the theaters where
he speaks prove too small for the
crowds who wish to hear him and
everywhere hundreds are turned away
disappointed His popularity increases
with the progress of the campaign and
wherever he is heard Republicans are
stimulated to renewed efforts on be-
half Of the ticket. And not Republic
ans alone, for it Is evident he is des-
tined to receive large vote from
outside the party.
In recent stirring presentation of
the benefits which have accrued to the
nation and state through Republican
administration Mr.. Cummins said:
For nearly five years the Republican
party has been in complete control OF
national affairs. They have been the
most eventful years of the republic.
Examine them and say whether you
see in them the evidences of good gov
eminent. Examine the progress Of
your country. from any standpoint,

the other nations of the earth or
whether II has outstripped them all
in the race of destiny. Examine
your own affairs and the affairs OF
your neighbors and say whether the
laws of the land have helped or HIN
dered in fighting the great battle Of
life. You cannot lift your eyes with
out seeing the fruitful victories of Re-
publican principles, and your ears are
assailed all day long with t$le songs Of
Republican prosperity and content. It
Is idle to reason upon the justice and
potency then of Repubiicanism, when
the wonderful. the magical work OF
good government envelops us as CON-
pletely as does the air we breathe.
What you want is good government
The Republican party is not driven to
distractions. 1t is not compelled to say
you SHALL HAVE good government;
It can say it does say you HAVE good
government"
Delivers Address at ottumwa.
Senator Dolliver, In his brilliant ad.
dress at Ottumwa, pointed out the fol-
ly of the habltual negligence long since
become chronic, even in Iowa, of the
duty of voting in the year following
presidential years. ut is not neces-
sary," he said. ito claim this is the
most important election we ever had.
It is enoungh to poiLt out that it has
an unusual and farreaching signih-
canoe. 1t Is important to hold the
party advantage which We Republic |
ans now enjoy in most of the counties |
OF Iowa. Those who have been
chosen to represent the humber am
billions of our political life Oh the local
ticket, ought not to be neglected or
disowned by those who claim to have,
and who in presidential elections
never fail to show. an interest In the
success OF the Republican party.
The foundation for all party success
Is laid. not in the excitement of our
great national contests. but in the pa
tent and steady work of the cam
paipns which precele It. Mr.. Cummins
has rnade and is now making through
out the state a magnificent fight on
the lines o. Reuubllcanism SO broad
and generous that he already has with
him a unite and enthu sia5tic party
support. wh'la in every portion OF the
strte Republicans are awake to the
importance cs holding the party major
tiles In the legislature OF Iowa"
Continuing. Senator Dolliver said:
$50 far as the Republican party Is
concerned. 1t stands for doctrines which
twice received the endorsement OF the
American peonle in the election OF
Presidnet Mckinley. These doctrines
were strong end victorious while he
lived: they are not less attractive to
his oountrymcn now that he has gone
to HE coronation. While he stood
before the worli as our leader he at
trected to his standard multiplied
thou Fcnds OF his Democratic fellow
citizens, so thpt his victory OF 1896 and
stu greater triumph OF 1906 was in
an important sense as much the sue
