GOVERNOR cuMMlkA

Upon the eve Of q gubernatorial
election this year In Iowa It becomes
my p.easan duty to say few words
about our chief executive.
since the governor has been In Of.
nee he has become famed a. IN orator
and as q clear thinker, a concise reas-
oner. and few men have stepped into
the political arena and In 20 bri Z q
time aroused the best thoughts with
all the political world. That he has
been long Identified In the IN erests
Of the common peopl, Is s.shown as
early as the year 1881. when he was
employed to break up the barb wire
trust which he effectually did. He
has evsr been arraigned on the side
Of the common people and Abraham
Lincoln said that "God must have
loved the common people for he made
SO many of them The governor is
distinctively man with sincere pur-
pos IS and q fim convocation arouses
an agOnism, but the American people
love a fighter when he fights with q
definite aim to accomplish certain re-
suits. The American people loved
Grant and Sh rman, Sheridan. Nc
'Kinley and A. B. Cummins. The gov
ernor has been a most consistent re-
publican, working for the best inter-
est of the republican party. The gov
ernor's geat address, at MINI ~apolis
when he said thai The consumer was
better entitled to the protection than
the great trust organized to extort
through monopolis.ic methods.,'s He
made ano her sensation in his De-
troit speech when he defended tho
doctrine Of Blaine and Mckinley on
reciprocity treati s. He won q royal
crown from the laboring men when
he settled all strikes It Dubuque to
the entire satisfaction Of the en-
ployer and the strik rs. Governor
Cummins wrote the platform Of the
last Iowa state convention with his
own hand and submitted It to the ap-
proval Of Senator Allison who did ap-
prove II without the alteration Of .
single word.
He Ii q true friend OF the coa0red
race and believes In the elevation and
education az them and llks our good
President Roosevelt believes In open
ing the door Of opportunity to thOsA
who are worthy regardless OF color.
