HULL TO BE HEARD.
Iowa Man Will Antagonize the
iowa Idea" in q Speech
at Des Moines.
Is It a shrewdly Devised Scheme
to Injure, Rather Than I'm
prove His Cause? 81

Special to The journal.
Des Moines. Iowa, March 2S.-All the
arrangements have been made for COLI
lision between Congressman Hull and Gov
ernor Cummins and Judge Prouty on the
iowa idea and the prospective event is
exciting the greatest sort Of political In
terest. Captain Hull has promised to make
an address before the Polk county repub-
lican club on the night Of April 6. At that
time he will express his views on several
national topics, and will handle the Iowa
idea" That he will take advantage of
the opportunity to shy numerous bricks
at the address recently made by Governor
ton is taken for granted by everybody,
as he is we'll known to be opposed to tariff
revision and reciprocity and made this
clear when he was renominated for, con-
gress last summer In the district conven-
ton at Perry.
There is ground for suspicion that the
arrangement to have Hull speak Is {
shrewdly devised scheme to injure him
rather than help him, as the Polk County
Republican club, while. ostensibly non
fractional, IL an organization formed few
months ago in the interest Of judge
Prouty, and it Is extremely doubtful 1
Hull can possibly strengthen himself eithe
Iowa idea' or Governor Cumm1ns.
The completed programme for the JET
Iferson Day banquet OF the democrats ha
been announced. Adlai e. Stevenson o

Dakota Stock Growers association will
take up the Quarles bill relating to the
United States land laws, and that a
resolution will be introduced in remon-
STRANGE, ~, =
The bill is not favored by the large cat
tlemen for the reason that it does away
with the privilege Of entering timber and
stone land, and also eliminates the com
mutation feature of the homestead law,
leaying only the homestead law which re-
quires five years actual residence on the
land before final proof.
The bill received a favorable committee
report. The government has special agents
making investigations as to the opera
tions of the stone and timber land acts.
1t is commended that as a result of these
laws the government land will soon be
claimed, chiefly, by corporations.
