| Des Moines, Oct. Gov. A. B. Cum
Imins started for Chicago last night,
where he is billed to tell about the
Iowa Platform and the Tariff" before
1.-THE Marquette club this evening. 1t
will be the first formal and set dis
cussion of this subject which has been
given by the governor He made his
| first declaration on the subject In a
speech in Minneapolis last winter and
brought upon himself a storm of crit
icism. Good friends said to him at that
time that he was inviting destruction.
that he could not stand on that plat
form-the platform of tariff revision
| to the extent of removing the shelter
from monopolies-and remain in the
republican party as it was at present
constituted; but the governor went on
and stood his ground. He has referred
! to the matter repeatedly in speeches
land interviews, has been somewhat
misquoted and misunderstood but apA
pears not to have wavered In the least.
| In this state the party has made u en-
Itirely possible for him to remain IN
! the party and keep his views. But
tonight he goes before the Marquette
club in Chicago and delivers formal
address on the Iowa platform and the
..Iowa idea" in which he will make
plain what he and the Iowa republicans
mean by their bold declarations.
"I shall take the if out of the Iowa
|platfOrm,' he sententiously remarked
| to the writer yesterday.
| At the same time 1T is understood
he will be more conservative and eau
itious than ever before and will say
nothing that can be construed into a
declaration for a radical departure
from the policies of his. party. Gov.
lCummins believes that monopoly is a
Icrime, monopoly in any and every form.
and he would strike at it in all possible
lwnys. His friends here believe that
| he viii be able to make the Iowa idea
so plain that nobody need ever have
any doubt as to what 1t is and what is
Ito be accomplished by it.
The state campaign in Iowa is now
pretty we'll started, especially as far
as 1t is possible for the republicans to
Il start it. Next Saturday there will be
the usual number OF good meetings for
this season of the year, the following
being scheduled: Senator Dolliver at
Clarion, Gov. Cummins at Dubuque,
Congressman Haugen at Highlandville,
congressman Cousins at Muscatfne,
Major Lacey at Indianola. Col. Hepburn
at Creston, Mayor Brenton, of Des
Moines, at Centerville, and Congress
man Esch. of Wisconsin, at Ames. In
davenport there will be a meeting ad-
dressed by Major A. NJ Mcdowell, of
Washington; Congressman Sherman,
OF New York, and Congressman Vree-
land, Of New York. During the next
week there will be many speeches by
Republicans. 1t is regarded by all as
an excellent start. The democrats
have only few speeches announced.
They have but just opened their head
quarters in this city. They have some
dates for Gov. Boies in the Third dis
trict, also for Henry Vollmer, of Daven-
port, Mayor Harrison, Of Chicago and
Samuel Alschuler, of Illinois. No dates
have been announced for Fred Leh-
mann, and 1t may be he will not come
into the state. Chairman Jackson ia
in communication with number of
persons for speeches not only in the
Third district but in the Sixth, Sec
ond and First, and hopes soon to be
able to make quite list of appoint
ments.
Information has been received by the
republican state committee that Hon.
Page Morris, of Minnesota, will not be
able to fill his engagements in south
ern Iowa next week as had been plan
ned. The reason for his failure was
not given.
Word has been received by the state
board of control that the deaf school
at Council Bluffs has an enrolment
at the beginning of the year of over
200. which is about the usual number,
Everything has started off for the
school year as if there had been no fire
to destroy the main buildings. The tenn
porary buildings will be sufficient until
new and permanent ones can be built
by the state.
All things considered the grand lodge
knights of Pythias in session here is
one of the finest grand lodges of the
order ever held. The membership IL
of the best, the spirit is good and there
is general harmony among the mem
bers. The promised trouble over al
legged or imaginary rings" which dis
turbed some of the candidates did not
amount to anything at all.
DEDICATION AT ELLENDALE.
