I Special to Times Republican.
I I,es Moines, Sept. 6.-The Iowa cam
tpaign will be opened September % at
some point in the Third congressional
dis.rict not yet determined upon. This
lis at the wish and suggestion of Speak
/ er. ID. b. Henderson. AT the first meet
ing the speaker Of the house Will talk
and also Gov A. Is. Cummins and Sen
! ator j. r. Doliver. Whether the meet
ling will be held in Dubuque, the nome
| OF the speaker, or i'll Waterloo. where
the man who is likely to be his oPpo-
neGt, lives, is not determined, and IT
lmay be in Independence or Waverly
| or Manchester or over III the monkey
| or Iowa Falls. 1t is desired by the
speaker that the campaign commence
carly for the reason that he plans To
| go into other states and place hllnselI
at the command of the national con-
1 gressional committee for practically all
LOT the time. He will be provided with
IL. special car and some good local
1 sneakers will accompany him. The
| speaker will make his argument on
broad general lines. He Will state
/ frankly and fairly that there can be
no revision OF the tariff at the short
session of congress next to open. He
Twill declare his belief that there should
tbe some changes in the tariff bill made
lat the long session which will open
lhfteen months hence, after q new con-
! gress has been elected. He Will carry.
4 with MIN to every part OF the United
States copy OF the Iowa platform and
lie will take his text from that plat
form. The democrats will meet in Du-
buque next Thursday to nominate the
ideInocratic opponent of Col. Henderson.
The plan of the democratic is to have
Ex- Governor Boies campaign the Third
Idistrict in company with some young
er democrat. In this way the
democrats hope to defeat Hen
derson. But while there was some
idiN satisfaction in the district a few
lweeks ago this appears to have dis
IappMred and the republicans are har-
monious The appearance of Cummins
and Dolliver with Henderson at the
iopening meeting will go far toward
Imaking the district an easy one for the
Republicans. The starting of the CAM
|paign in that district will also center
4 the interest there and give the cam
paign such Il start that Speaker Hen,
derson can afford to leave his fate iE
the hands of friends at home.
| There will be a great many good
Republican speakers on the stump ir
Iowa this year. Mr. A. F. Dawson, of
JacSson county, Who is private sec
retary to Senator William B. Allison,
will again have charge of the speak
ers' bureau for the republican state
committee. He has already started out
Ito get his speakers. The response fro1a
focal speakers has been very enccurag
ling. Republicans are ready to go OF
.hc stump and make speeches this yea,
and he will have no trouble securing
q sufficient number OF good speakers:
4 Gov. Cummins will be in the campaign
but will so to two or three other states
also, notably Minnesota and Illinois.
The members OF congress are reads-
to go into amy part OF the state. An
Exchange of speakers will be arranged
with those in other states. Gov. Cum
Minis is going to Minnesota and Mr.
| Dawson today received letter from,
Senator Clapp stating he would b.

4 1t is known also that Gov. Van San.

state out OF consideration for the ser
vices of Gov. Cummins.
The Des Moines party which will go

4 thirty persons. The governor is as
sured that most of the members of his
military staff will go along, and several
other Des Moines persons Ii is not yet
