Said Ben Gable VIII Open 1t In tho Sec
ond Iowa District.
DIES MONIES, Notwithstanding to
advices brought to Des Moines by a lead
ing member of the Iowa congressional del
egation, Ben Cable, the Rock Island. ILL.,,
capitalist, is preparing to open his barrel
in the second Iowa district In the interest
Of the election of Judge M. j. Wade, the
democratic candidate for congress. Mr..
Cable lives just across the river from the
second district and has large business
interests in that district, and 1t Is said
he is ready to spend $4,000 for Wade S
election.
The reports as to Cables Willingness to
aid Wade have reached the ears of the
who, for some time, have been appre-
hensive Of it. To what extent the repub-
licans will spend money in the district to
elect Hoffman is unknown, though every
effort Is being made to mobilize speakers
in that territory. Special preparations
are being made at Iowa City for SHAW
meeting Oct. &c.
| Dave Brant, former candidate for lieu
tenant governor, is looking after the de-
| tails. He has hired a big tent In Des
Moines for the rally and arranged for
Lafayette Young to speak In the after
noon and Shaw in the evening. Mr.. Brant
says the republicans Of Johnson county
are working hard and will hold Wade
plurality in Johnson down to 400.
| Roberts Predicts Craig's Election.
Secretary N. c. Roberts Of Fort Madi-
son, Of the democratic state central com
mittee, predicted the election of John E.
Craig of Keokuk and the defeat Of Con-
gresham Hedge in the first district He
says Craig is making a thorough cam
paign and that the republican disaffec-
ton from Hedge is going to be heavy.
| 1oIn yoto will on
Craig" said Mr.. Roberts. "A large num-
Der Of the old soldiers will support Craig
| instead Of Hedge, who has failed to rec
ognize the veterans in making appoint
ments. The fact that Hedge Is a relative
by marriage of Blythe is calculated tc
enthuse the Cummins men In the district
In 1890 the democrats Of the first elected
John J. Seerley of Burlington to congress-
and in my Judgment the conditions are
much more favorable to Craig than those
of the 1890 campaign were for Seerley. Sc
far as the second district is concerned
regard Judge Wade's election as as
sured."
CummIns' Throat Trouble.
Governor Cummins returned home from
Chicago last evening. having been obliged
to cancel his dates in Indiana on account
of the serious condition Of his throat
He was advised by a physician that un-
less he rested, his throat would be per-
manently impaired. He hopes, however
to be able, to speak at Clinton next satur'
day.
The governor endeavored to cancel his
Minnesota dates early this week. but
yielding to the wishes of Governor Var
SAINT and other friends in Minnesota, he
consented to speak at Winona.
