Juoge Prouty Lauds cummins.
The Dallas County Agricultural SO.
ciety. which holds an annual fair at
Adel,set apart day this year for the
Republicans of the county. Judge s.
F. Prouty of Des Moines was the
speaker. Mr.. Prouty is a personal ac-
quaintance and intimate friend of Mr..
Cummins. In the course of his address
he gave an estimate of the Republican
candidate, which appreciative in the
highest degree, is deemed no more
than Just. 1t follows:
Now Just word about our candi-
date for governor. OF him can speak
with more accurate and intimate
knowledge, and do not know whether
| love him most for what he is or what
he represents. He is that which Is
best in manhood. and represents that
which is best in government. Natures
alchemist has mingled in him with
rarest accuracy the elements of man.
He is honest, without being pedantic.
He is brave, but not belligerent; he is
gentle, yet strong; he is brilliant, but
not effervescent; he is eloquent, yet
sincere; he is kind, but not plant; he
Is true to his friends, yet fair to his
enemies; he is temperate. but not In
tolerant; he mas dignity and grace that
makes him the easy companion of the
great. and yet a tenderness and sym
pathy that binds him to the lowly.
He is at once patrician and plebian.
He is neither demigod or demagogue
He is neither ''sockless" nor silk
stocking" but comely, manly man.
He is brave-brave alike to resist the
aggressions of the classes and the un-
reasonable clamor of the masses. His
guiding star Is Right-right to all, be
they great or small. Every interest Of
the people will be safe In his hands,
be they corporate or private. He is a
broad, fair-minded man, candid, honest,
conscientious. He represents that
which is highest, purest and cleanest
in politics. He represents the people
in their best thoughts and aspirations.
While he is himself partisan. he
views with contempt the sacriligious
parting of party raiment, and while
he is and will be as governor Of this
gerat commonwealth the idol of his
party. in the discharge of his Official
duties he will know no partisanship.
He will be in the true sense q COVER
nor of the people. He will resist with
firm but courteous hand the domina-
ton Of special interests and require
that all, be they high or low, yield
equal obedience to the laws Of this
commonwealth. A grander stronger.
purer man | never knew. And while
such men live and there is yet left vir-
tue enough In the citizenship of this
country to recognize such men good
government will not disappear from
the face of the earth"
