STATE CONVENTION CALL.
TO the republican electors of the state Q

To the republican electors of the state of
Iowa:
In accordance with the usage and in pur-
suance of call of the republican national
committee and by direction of the republi-
can state central committee Of Iowa, n DEL
1s convention of the republicans Of
Iowa will be held in the city of Des Moines,
Iowa, on Wednesday, May IS, 1904, at IL
CLOCK a. M, for the purpose Of electing
Tour delegates-at-large and four alternate
delegates-at-large to represent Iowa In the
republican national convention to be held
IN the city of Chicago, in the state of ILL
nois. on Tuesday, June 81, 1904.
All republican and other voters in this
state, without regard to past political af1lli-
atoms, who believe in republican principles,
and who endorse the policy Of the republi
can party, are cordially invited to unite
under this call in the election of delegates
and alternate delegates to said national
convention.
The national committee directs that the
congressional district delegates and alter
nate delegates shall be elected by conven-
tions called by the congressional committee
of each district in the manner of nominat-
Ing the candidate for representative in con-
gress in said district. The congressional
committee Of each district is empowered
and directed to determine the time and
place of holding its district convention, ex-
cept that all such conventions must be held
at least thirty days prior to June q, 1904,
and due notice thereof shall be given to
the voters of the several districts.
The basis of representation in the state
convention will be as follows: One delegate
for each county and one additional delegate
for each 200 votes or fraction Of 100 or over
cast for Albert B. Cummns for governor
at the general election held November 8,

ing cattle could be made at a cost of
3.03 cents per pound less than when
mature corn, costing SO cents per
bushel the prevailing market price, was
fed under similar conditions.
4. That study of the Chicago live
stock market conditions from January
1, 1903 to July 81, 1903 shows conclu-
sively that the comparatively low
prices of beef cattle was not caused
by an oversupply of half finished cat
tie. On the contrary there was larg-
er number of well finished cattle mar
keted during that period for 1903 than
for the corresponding period of any
one of the past ten years.

indicate that the nutritive value of the
corn grown in 1902 compares favorably
with mature corn grown in other

dry matter serves as basis of com

6. That the amount of moisture
present was the main differences so
far as composition is concerned. That
the amount of moisture depends main.

H. L. WATERWAYS CANDIDACY.


The candidacy of Hon. H. l.. Water
man for election as delegate to the
republican national convention is be-
ing heartily supported throughout the
district. 1t is conceded that Mr.. Wa
terman stands unequivocally for the
principle of protection as one of the
foundation principles of the republi-
can party. 1t is known that he is
heartily in favor of the denomination
Of President Roosevelt, and that he
believes tariff plank should be adopt
ed that is in accord with the general
principles on this subject as laid down
by the President in his Minneapolis
speech last summer. At the same time
it is known that Mr.. Waterman is not
an extremist on the subject of high
schedules and that he is heartily in
favor of the republican party changing
these schedules in accord with the
changing conditions of business; the
object at all times being, as stated by
President Roosevelt. himself, ito see
to it that our laws shall in no event af-
ford advantage in our market to for.
eign industries over American indus
tries, to foreign capital over American
capital, to foreign labor over our own
labor"
These are the principles for which
Mr.. Waterman stands and they are
principles which will be endorsed and
sustained by republicans at all times.

THE FARMERS PROTECTION,

In an address delivered before an OF
tumwa audience by Manager Foster
of the pork packing plant at that
place it was argued that protection
tends to limit the foreign market for
American goods.
But does protection restrict the for
eisn market for American goods? Is
it not true that the market for foreign
goods has been growing one? The
repeal of the Mckinley law in 1898, to
make room for the Gorman-Wilson ap-
proach to free trade, was not follow
ed by expansion, but by contraction
of Americas foreign trade. We are
told by men like Mr.. Foster that for
eigners resent the American tariff and
that it prejudices them against Amer
lean made goods. But those foreign
ers 10 not seem to have shown very
lively appreciation of the democratic
efforts toward free trade in 1893-in-
stead of buying more American goods,
they bought less.
Mr.. Foster in his address wondered
why the Iowa farmers did not repu-
date protection. The answer is that
the American farmer knows that he
has prospered most under protection.
He may not understand it all, but he
knows when he Is we'll off. After 1898
hogs went as low as $3.50. They are
now almost twice as high as they were
then. That is why the Iowa farmer
does not repudiate protection 1t may
be that the Ottumwa packing house
could make more money out of $3.50
hogs, but the packing business is not
the only business interested in the hog.
The farmers are also interested in the
hog and they are interested enough to
prefer $3.50 and $3.50 to $3.50 per hun
dred pounds.
1t may be that the Iowa farmer is a
little selfish and that because he is
thus selfish, he takes an interest in
Canadian free trade, to any extent or
in any form. Cedar Rapids Republi-
can.
The Cedar Rapids Republican in the
above has set forth most pertinent
example as to why the Iowa farmer
does not take kindly to the proposition
Of reciprocity with Canada.
1t is natural for those engaged in GER
tain lines of industry to want reciproc-
ity for the products in which they deal,

called Iowa Idea" and any action
along the line of general and sweep
ing tariff revision thatais calculated to
disturb business conditions. With the
exception of the first and sixth wards,
and enc or two scattering delegates,
the sentiment was overwhelmingly in
opposition to the so-called Iowa idea
In the first ward, packing house dis
trict), an Iowa idea delegation was ap
pointed by committee selected for
that purpose. In the sixth ward, the
contest was very close, out of 70 votes
there being only a majority of 8.
The result of the primaries in the
aggregate is magnificent endorse
ment of the candidacy of Hon. H. l..
Waterman, as delegate to the national
republican convention. ut is recogniz-
ed even by those who were among the
opposition in the good natured fight at
the primaries that this is an opportuni-
ty for Ottumwa and Wapello county
to be represented in the national re-
publican convention by a tried and
true republican, strong thinker and
an able man who will faithfully repre-
sent the entire republican party of the
sixth district in that great body. The
Courier believes in contests in the pri-
maries. That is the place to fight out
our differences and the will of the ma
jority should and will prevail.
The work at the primaries has been
done and it has served to clear the
atmosphere and solidify republicans in
support of the basic principles upon
which the republican party is founded.
Now the one thing for the republicans
of Wapello county to do, is to give
expression in the county convention
next Saturday as to what they believe
should be the utterances of the state
and national platform on the tariff
question. A delegation should be Sc
lected to the sixth district convention
that will push Senator Waterman's
candidacy with united enthusiasm and
give to this city and county the great
honor of representation in the national
republican convention.
