ators from other states are expressing
| great willingness to take part in TIL

to various reasons. among them benl

year.
/ Congressman C. B. Lands. Of tn,
Ninth Indiana district, is thu

ness to assist the republi.
cans of Iowa this fall. Congressman
Lands has been in the house of repre-
sentatives for several terms and is re-
garded as one of the leaders of that
body. He has been In Iowa in pre-
vious campaigns and his speeches
have attracted general attention. He
does not state just how many addresses
he will be able to deliver in Iowa but 1t
lis expected he will be secured for three
or four at any rate.
Colonel D. j. Palmer of Washington
Iowa, will make a considerable number
OF speeches this fall, as he has done
in all campaigns for the last ten OF
fifteen years Colonel Palmer is a cam
didate for reelection as railroad COM
missioner. having been renominated by
reclamation at the state convention. He
is one of the best campaign orators in
Iowa and is always in great demand

continue almost all the year round, as
he is always wanted at the soldiers
reunions which are held every summer
in various counties.

tinued without further interruption

from now until election and he will be
found In his Office every day. The

are very good-better than is usual in
off years.
Chairman Spence says the First and
Second district conferences which were
held Monday were among the best OF
the entire series. The attendance Was
large at both meetings and practically
all OF the county chairmen were pres
ent. The conferences were enthusi-
astic and showed that the First and
Second districts are better organized
this year than they have been for some
time.
Practically every republican weekly
paper in the state is using the sup
elements containing Governor Cum
Minis address with their weekly edi.
tons In all, nearly half million
copies will be distributed. This will
give the address wider circulation
that has ever been given to any cam
paign speech delivered in the state
The comments regarding the Cover
nor's address are very favorable and
without exception the republican pa
oers Of the state unite in pronouncing
t most able campaign speech and one
which will be the keyenote from now
until election.
