that under present conditions there Is
no pressing necessity for great changes
as respects our money circulation, and
it also appears that, although there Is

tails OF either our tariff laws of oar
monetary laws. Changes Of these de-
tails are wise and necessary from time
to time, but that they have been eff
fective in developing Our national re-
sources and maintaining our nation al
credit, can no longer be subject of
dispute, and it seems to me wise and
important that these policies in their
essentials should continue. Whatever
defects may appear, can best be cured
by the republican party. Without Of
fe:se, DCpe l may add that the record
Of the democratic party discloses its

these great subjects, nor is there hope
from this record that party will be able
to deal with these questions as they

Of great deeds and large growth NJ
other party since the adoption of our
constitution has had so many momen-

The story from Lincoln to Roose-
welt. is the story of American progress
and advancement from the thraldOm
,of slavery and provincial isolation
through war publication, national re-
generation, economic independence, in
dustrial supremacy, and unselfish hui
manity, 10 a position of world wide in
fIuente and power
During this period of great difficulty
and trial. our progress has been con-
stantIy forward and forward, so that
we now enjoy in our country more of
the blessing of free people than are
enjoyed by like number of people any
where else on the face of the globe"
I'VE have in President Roosevelt an
ideal chief magistrate who has brought
to his great Office, high culture and
high ideals. He meets courageously
every public question and decides it
wisely and with the purpose of promot.
ing the best interests OF all the people,
bringing credit to the government at
home and honor abroad He has gain
ed the confidence of his countrymen to
a high degree. No other president in
Office was ever more beloved by all the
people than he. He deserves to have
and will have, the unanimous nomina-
ton of his party next year, and will be
am sure, triumphantly elected. 1t is
our duty this year to give him what
ever strength we have as an expression
of the faith Of Iowa in his fitness for a
full term in the exalted station he now
fills so we'll. The place to signify that
confidence is at the ballot box on the
third day of November next. While
doing this we will at the same time
give the stamp of our unqualified APP
proval to the wise administration OF
Governor Cummins and all associated
with him in the management of our
own commonwealth
