Special to Times Republican,
Des Moines, Sept. 26.-Preparations
are completed for one OF the best po-
1 litical meetings ever held in the state
for this evening. as starter for the
! Cunmins' campaign for governor in the
year 1903. The people of Des Moines,
the republicans of Des ldoines, and of
the surrounding counties are getting
ready to give their political leader a
welcome to the political platform suen
| as no other republican could secure.

committees Of the Young Mems Re-
publican Club. and this association

the surrounding towns and the flower
OF the republican party IN the Seventh

| is believed that the great auditorium
will be completely filled.
What will the governor say? What
1 new will he offer? Will he fulfill DEM
ocratic end opposition expectancy or
will he meet the full measure of his
position as the leader of the republi-
can party In Iowa In this campaign ?
| These are questions sometimes asked
and here in Des Moines the answers are
| all of one kind. AS loyal republican

a follower of Cummins In the repubh-
can party for many years When he
was nominated two years ago it was In
response 20 a popular demand for just
such leader Mt that time. The re-
publicans of Iowa had fair chance to
decide for or against Cummins. They
decided he was their man. He has
measured up to their expectations. He
is true leader. Again he was nom

gard to candidates or issues hut fairly
Representative of the republican
party OF Iowa. He appeared before
that convention and pledged himself
absolutely to the support OF republican
principles. He will go before the peo-
pie tonight and give support to the
whole platform and the whole record
of the party and the whole ticket.
There will be no reservations. He will
present the time honored principles of
the republican party In a manner to
put to shame the democratic conten-
tion that the governor is not with his
party and will not support his own
platform. He will make so clear the
distinction between republican politics
as exemplified in the history of the
party and expressed In the platform of
the party. and the policies of the DEM
ocrs is, that there need never again be
any controversy over the issues as they
are made up. All this may fairly be in
ferred from the life record of the chos-
en- leader of the republicans of Iowa.
And every republican in this city and
county will give unquestioned sup
port to the entire ticket and the whole
platform without reservation. We have
started right, have laid away faction
alisnl, have buried animosities, and we
are all republicans"
After the ballot board had decided
yesterday that the name of B. f. Rob
inson, of Armstrong, should go on the
official ballots as the regular republi-
can nominee for representative In the
Emmet-Dickinson district, Mr.. Robin
son stated that so far as he was con-
cerned he hoped the controversy was at
an end. He had repeatedly said that
| If he could not get on the ticket in the
regular way he would not make the
race at all. So well was this known
that yesterday the republican county
committee of Emmett county, which Is
not friendly to Robinson made a re-
quest of the secretary of state Tor Pc
tition blanks, the intention being that
if neither should be declared regularly
nominated some third candidate would
be brought out, as 1t was known that
Robinson did not care to go into tight
such as that would mean. Both Robin
son and Fuller had filed nomination
papers by petition before their conven-
ton papers We're filed, SO that unless
Fuller now withdraws his name will
go on the ticket as by petition without
further action on his part. Efforts We're
made to have it appear that there was
|
ing in this city this week This was
hardly fair. There was great deal OF
earnestness and the statements of wit
nesses on opposing sides were some
what contradictory but not more so
that might be expected in such case
There was nothing before the ballot
board to indicate anything other than
a desire on the part of all persons con-
cerned to have the matter adjusted in
accordance with right and justice.
While the ballot board did not make
any other than a mere formal am
nouncement OF the decision, it Is known
that the view tahen was IN axact ac-
cord with the arguments of Judge Carr
before the board ON behalf of Robinson
Judge Carr made point In the matter
of quorum that will be useful TO 9TH
