The Rev. Kedd Boyce Tupper, D. D.,

said: 1T has been my rule all thru my
ministerial life to leave out the word
obey in the marriage service, and for
three reasons: First, the woman ought

less the man also agrees to it; second.
neither husband nor wife should be
pledged thus: third, if you make the
woman promise to obey she is sure to

that they considered tb iff matter
but it is fair 10 ass,hs that Judge
Birdsall would talk this over with his
friend, the governor. He will go on
the stump and advocate the Iowa idea
in regard to tariff in every speech.
He will not mine matters at all. One
of the first and most conspicuous
speakers in the district will be Gov.
Cumins, who will open right in Speaker
Henderson's city, by invitation of the
republican leaders there. He will then
go to Independence and elsewhere in
the district speaking for the Iowa idea
and for Judge Birdsall. He will also
go into the Second Iowa district where
the candidate, William Hoffman, stands
squarely on the Iowa platform and
where all the republican leaders are
for the Iowa platform without a
change.
Now the question which is interest
ing the republicans is what help may
be expected from the congressional
national committee, especially in those
two districts, If Hull and Babcock are
dead set against the Iowa idea and
are bent on Furnishing Gov. Cummins
and his friends?'
AS for Hull and Hepburn they have
little opposition in their own districts.
but in the two districts named it is
highly important that the republican
state committee, the district congress
sional committees and the national con-
gressional committee work in entire
harmony. And after the election is
over and Iowa has solid republican
delegation it is regarded by some as
important that the delegation be not
divided against itself, part on the plat
form and part opposed.
