| Des Moines, oct S.-tiovernor Va,
SAINT, of Minnesota has informed TIL,
republican stste committee that h,
during the week beginning with Octo-
Der 10. This will make 1t possible fol
Governor Van SAINT to be assigned FOL
at least six speeches. His itinerary
has not Yet been planned and probably
Will not be for several days. Mr.. Daw-
son. of the speakers bureau, desires
to send him wherever he will do the
most good. il is not probable he will
speak at all the places where he is
desired but all effort viii be made to
nave him speak in as many parts OF
the state as i, is possible In the brief
time he will be In Iowa
The state committee considers IL
self extremely fortunat4. in securing
Governor Van SAINT for 10 week. He is
one of the best known political orators
IN the west. and his career as govern
or OF Minnesota has attracted great
attention, not only in the west but
turnout the country. Governor Van
SAINT is an Iowa man. During the cam
raign of two years age he spoke at
lie Claire, little town ift Scott county
where his parents live. 1t was hardly
a. political speech, the occasion being
a family reunion. hut Governor Van
SAINT delivered an address in the even
ing which was attended by the public
generally and was largely political in
Its nature. Governor Shaw was also
present on this occasion.
When it was announced two or three
weeks ago that Governor Van San.
was willing to make some speeches In
Iowa it was not expected that he would
be able to spend more than two or
three days in the state. Now that he
is to be here a week The committee
Will endeavor to arrange quite an ex-
tended tour for him.
Hon. John l.. Webster. of Omaha.
who spoke at Red Oak Wednesday
will be able 10 speak i'm Iowa again
during the week ending Oct L. Ii
Is probable he will be in the state
three or four daye of that week. HIS
address at Red Oak created a most
favorable impression and ne will doubt
less be in demand in other parts of the
state.
Congressman Robert Cs Cousins will
make his first speech outside of his
district at Winterset Tuesday, Oct. 81
1t is expected that Mr.. Cousins viii
deliver considerable number of
speeches outside his own district ana
he Will probably be In other parts OF
the state most of the time until the
closes.
Congressnla John r. Lacey, of the
Sixth district will make his first speech
1t Allerton, III Wayne county. on the
same day that Mr.. Cousins speaks 1t
Major Lacey will doubtless
be in the can paign continuously until
election day.
Several of the younger republican
awyers In Abba have formed a speak |
ars' club which is proving of great
assistance to he republican committee
n that county and their plan may we'll |
De utilized III other counties. There /
ire eight In the club and they have ar |
.anged a series of school house meet +
ngs to continue thruout the month of
October They Will hold meetings in |
every precinct in the coun-
". and In some two or three meetings |
will be held. The county chairman has |
practically turned the speaking cam |
oaign over u this organization and |
hey are doir & the work in an excel
ent manner. The plan is to have four
'peakers attend every meeting, each |
addressing the audience ten or fifteen
minutes. and In this way keeping fair /
y interested. The next meeting is at
ended by the other four speakers and 7
n this way the work does not fall
heavily on any of them. The same
,lah was pursued in Monroe county
asst year with excellent results, as that
ounty secured the Tippecanoe bannsr
or the largest proportionate gain IN
is republican vote as compared with
he vote of 1900.
