Des Moines, Oct 1.-THE principal
speaker at the one big republican rally
in Marshalltown during this campaign
will be Robert G.. Cousins. He will
speak in the afternoon of Saturday,
November 2. 1t is expected that an
other good speaker will be assigned
for Marshalltown to speak on the even
ing OF the same day and thus make
of the event notable one In the Fifth
district for the campaign, but thus far
the committee has been unable to def
initely assign any one to that agree
able task. The committee has been
forced to give its greatest attention
to counties in which the republican
party is smaller than in Marshall
and to assign the speakers to places
where 1t appears there is actual need
of some encouragement or aroustrg
some enthusiasm. Speakers have now
been.sent into more than half the coun-
ties of the state and into most of the
good towns. Good meetings have been
held lin such towns and cities as Mus
catine. Centerville, Atlantic, Mason
City, Manchester, Tama, Boone, Cres-
ton, Glenwood. Cherokee and Maquok-
eta. 1t remains for the committee to
provide for the best meetings of the
campaign in cities like Des Moines,
Marshalltown, Burlington, Ottumwa,
Sioux City and Cedar Rapids. lnas-
much as the speaking force of the CAM
paign Is to be augmented the last week
by some notable outsiders 1t Is believed
general satisfaction can be given. One
of the signs OF encouragement for the
republicans, and signs are many, is the
fact that democrats are reluctant about
making the fight The latest to with
draw Is Ed. Drewry, of Sac county. who
was nominated to make the race
against Senator Garst. Drewry has
had his name withdrawn. This caused
no surprise, as he had said before the
convention and afterwards that he
would not underaany circumstances be
6eNn<lidate for senator against sGarst.
This ana the withdrawal of j. Al. Pot
ter, of Bremen county, who was nomi-.
mated for the house, indicates the de-
spair of the opposition. Republican
campaign managers read with pleasure
a spirited roast" of the Manchester
meeting where Cummins, Allison and
Henderson spoke. This denunciation
was in democratic paper, and gave
evidence that nothing that happened or
was said at the meeting gave any pleas
ure to the opposition. This is re-
garded by the republican politicians as
q favorable indication. Still, they
are not banking on such incidents,
but are going ahead with the campaign
management along the lines originally
mapped out.
There is to be an investigation Of the
accusation that the nomination papers
of Robert Haufschmidt, democratic
candidate for representative in ALA
lnakee county, were fraudulently pre-
pared and hence not properly filed. 1t
is anticipated that If it can be shown
that the papers We're fraudulently filed
and could not have been properly
signed and forwarded in time to reach
the secretary of state, it will make
trouble for the democrats in north
eastern Iowa. The complaint is that
the papers were forwarded with the
name of the candidate left blank and
that it was inserted afterwards. This
would be an error and might compel
the taking off of the name of the candi-
date.
DIR. Babcock, of Chickasaw county,
before the meeting of the association of
railway surgeons caused some surprise
and comment by declaring that it is a
disgrace to the state of Iowa that when
the doctors come to the capital city
they do not find located here the chief
medical institution of the state-the
State Medical School. He declared this
ought not to be. that it was largely be-.
cause Des Moines people We're not ag-
gressive in going after it. and that II
they would only take the right steps
they would soon have the college To-
Gated in the capital city: This, he de-
clared, would be pleasing to the doctors
iof the state. He was quite severe on
Iowa City, which might be pardoned
from the fact that he was sepaking to
an assemblage of doctors in Des
Moines; but in fact there did not seem
to be any general response to his sug-
gestion, and Des Moines doctors appear
to be satisfied with the conditions as
they are. The suggestion of the presi-
dent of the association, DIR. Cottam, of
Rock Rapids. a bright young practi-
toner, to the effect that the law of re-
sponsibility applied in suits for damage
for malpractice ought to be changed.
was well received. In fact, 1T was evil
dent from the manner the members
listened to his remarks severely scoring
this law that the surgeons OF Iowa feel
that they are being done a great in
Justice by this law. 1t is probable that
either this association or some one of
the others will take up the question of
the damage law and ask for revision.

adopted the report OF the committee
which investigated the affairs of the
Des Moines. Iowa & Northern railroad,
which report was adverse to permitting
the company to enter the city across
Union park and down East Third street.
The report was made some time ago by
the committee. Investigation of the
company was had by competent per-
sons While the reporr was not to- the
