The indications are that the republi-

must not be lost sight of that the

reasons to believe that they will have
large campaign fund this fall fur

one of the recent district conferences
a prominent republican made the state
ment that he believed the democrats
would have larger campaign fund in
Iowa this fall than the republicans.
He stated this money would not be
raised among Iowa democrats but
would come from the east. The east
ern democrats who contributed heavi-
ly to the Cleveland campaign fund in
1892 are now back in the party. They
expect to control the Democratic
National Convention next year and
nominate a man who will be SUBJ
servient to their wishes and will be
able to make strong fight against
President Roosevelt. They wish to
prepare the way for this fght and are
consequently sending money into Iowa
and other states holding elections this
fall in order to reduce the republican
majority if possible. In spite of their
large campaign fund there is no dan
ger of the democrats accomplishing
anything in Iowa this fall, if the re-

Letter Describing the Exercises at Luther
Seminary's Anniversary JnbiIee.

Hamline, Mimi, Oct. 10. 1903.
Ed. Public Opinion:
The l4th of October was another
great day for the Norwegian
lutheran Synod. Apart from it's be-
iAg Luther College day" aud the
anniversary of the founding of nine
of it's various educational institu-
tions. this 14th marked the 25th ami
versary of Luther Seminary, It's Twin
ity school at Hamline est. Paul.,
MINI. The institution was first (lS7S)
located at Madison, Wis. but more
central location being deemed auvis-
able new building was erected at
Robbinsdale, q suburb of Minneapolis,
Mimi. in 1889 for its use. This build
ing was in 1895 destroyed by fire, and
was not rebuilt. A still more favorable
location was secured at Hamline, and
in 1899 a new modern building was
ready for the school. Great prepara.
tions had been made for the observance
y
and great day it proved to be. A
conference of clergy was held in the
main lecture hall Oct. 18th to 10Th.
On the afternoon of the l4th meeting
of alumni took place. The main OBJ
servsnce was reserved for the evening.
The Ladies' Aid of st. Paul served

students, about 200 in all. the seminary
orchestra entertaining the banqueters
with music. A brilliant illumina-
tion of the south and east fronts of the
building between Z and s set off the
beauty of the structure to great ad-
vantage. At 80 the jubilee program
i'll the seminary chapel began. While
every effort had been made to afford
accommodations, but little more than
half the immense number of visitors
could be seated for the exercises. The
exercises, though long, were anything
but tedious and were closely followed
by the audience throughout. The
printed program was as follows:

foolish advice which age can give to
youth. The youth or even the man
who never asks questions can be set
down as very dull. A little judgment
in selecting the proper time and place

carefully cultivated. The honest,
