Big Crowds Hear CummIns.
Mr.. Cummins' remarkable speaking
tour continues. The enthusiasm with
which he is received is %unabated 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
m alone. for it is evident he is des-
tined to receive a large vote from
outside the party.
In a recent stirring presentation of
the benefits which have accrued to the
nation and state through Republican
administration Mr.. Cummins said:
For nearly five ear 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
e in them the evidences of good gov
eminent. Examine the progress of
your country, from any standpoint,
and say whether it has Jagged behind
the other nations of the searth or
whether it has outstripped them all
in the race of destiny. Examine
your own affairs and the affairs of
your %neighbors and say whether the
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 the songs of
Republican prosperity and content. 1t
is idle to reason upon the justice and
potency then of Republicanism, when
the wonderful, the magical work of
good government %envelops us as COM
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 adj
dress at Ottumwa, pointed out the fol
ly of the habitual negligence long since
become chronic, even in Iowa, of the
duty of voting in the year following
presidential years. "It is not neces-
sary," he said, "to claim this is the
most important election we ever had.
1t is enoungh to point out that it has
an unusual and ~far-reaching signifi-
canoe. 1t Is important to hold the
party advantage which we Republic
ans now enjoy in Rpst of the counties
of Iowa. Those who have been
chosen to represent the humber am
billions of our political life on 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
tient and steady work of the cam
paigns which precede it. Mr.. Cummins
has made and is now making through
4 ont thn cfo{a n r, rrif1Nr{ frL% ~,
the lines of a Republicanism so broad
and generous that he already has with
him a united and enthusiastic party
support. while in every portion of tho
state Republicans are awake to the
Importance of holding the party major
tiles in the legislature of Iowa."
Continuing, Senator Dolliver said:
$50 far as the Republican party is
concerned it stands for doctrines which
twice received the endorsement of the
American people in the election of
President Mckinley. These doctrines
were strong and victorious while he
lived; they are not less attractive to
his cquntrymen now that he has gone
to his coronation. While he stood
before the world as our leader, he at
tracted to his standard multiplied
thousands of his Democratic fellow
citizens. so that his victory of 1896 and
still greater triumph of 1900 was in
an important sense as much the sue
cess of the people as of the political
party to which he belonged"
Polk county, Mr.. Cummins' home,
will this year increase its normally
large Republican majority. The coun
ty has been thoroughly organized and
polled. From returns received by
County Chairman Layman, it is con.
fidently predicted that 80 per cent Of
the vote cast will be for Cummins
Local contests will tend to make the
vote very large. Chairman Layman
has arranged for an active speaking
campaign in every precinct in the
county and the big district rally to be
held here Oct. %, when Senator Fair
banks, Speaker Henderson and Con
gresham Lacey will speak, is counted
