Des Moines, Oct. II. - It has been
eighteen months since the journey of
President Roosevelt thru Iowa = a
memorable trip in the political annals
Of the state. There was much about II
that is recalled by the present trip OF
Senator Fairbanks. The presidents trip
was made in early spring, just as the
flowers were poisoning on the peach
trees. Gov. Cummins went to Clarlnda
to greet the president and to accom-
pany him across the state, just as ne
has gone to Council Bluffs to snow
honor to Senator Fairbanks. 1t is not
expected that the meetings OF the us.
tinpuished Indiana senator will attract
the widespread attention OF the peo-
nle as did the trip of the president nor
aven as much as the journey INTO the
r,ost nf Col. Roosevelt four years ago
r,ban he was a candidate for vice pres
taent Rut good political meetings VIII
10 had all along the way. The journey
~ Toe Cannon, of Illinois, was the oc-
casion for q. number Of very good
.,,aet,nps. but he did all the work
800 Eairhanks will have abundant
/. ,.istance and his meetings will be ex-
,el,ent else the well laid plans OF
chairman Spence and Manager NC
Neeley go for naught. Chairman spence
states that the local committees an
along the way have shown adTnlra.pie
shirt in regard to the Fairbanks meet
Snps. There has been a disposltlon 10
he fair and to do the right thing ana
each one to accept the plans of the ma
tional committee with good grace Then
Ahere has been good work done plan
ming for the meetings. The additlonai
sneakers secured for the rallies at diff
serent places shows that the republic
ans are anxious to hold meetings anu
are ready to do the work necessary 10
drive apathy away.
49,
There has been disappointment IN
hes Moines over the change OF ar
ranxements SO that Fairbanks Will be
here only as he starts for the east ear
~ in the morning. The time is SO early
that it is doubtful If any considerable
number OF Des Moines people will be
on hand at the station to meet the SEN
ator. The local committees have made
no effort to get out the people to see
4he senator. Those who have the pleas
IRE Of meeting him will be just those
who are willing to rise early and be
on hand.
san amusing situatio is presented
here" said politician OF prominence
IN Des Moines. 1.-THE other day an Iowa
newspaper man returned from New
England and was interviewed and said
that there was not bit of sentiment
for reciprocity in Massachusetts or any
place else except on the part OF few
selfish manufa cturers. And since then
the republican state convention o.
Massachusetts has unanimously In
tioreed Canadian reciprocity. and
Lodge, Moody and Long have all come
out strong for 1t. And the democratic
convention indorsed Canadian reci-
nrocity, so that It looks like unanf-
NOUS thing in Massachusetts. Then
Eugene Foss was nominated for con-
rress and viii be elected, and he will
proceed to stir them up. Some prophets
are not good"
The national committees sent Sene,-
tor Dolliver back into Colorado from
wyoming to take part in the campaign
In that state Report reaches here that
the campaign in Colorado is becoming
decidedly warm and that a hard fight
is on there. Two Iowans, or former
Iowans had the honor Of opening the
campaign and they spoke from the
same platform. There were ex-senator
VIM. E. Mason, of Chicago, and Mrs. J.
Ellen Foster, Of Washington. The lat
ter spoke especially to the women and
the former to the others.
George I. Dobson, former secretary
Of state, is campaigning in Missouri
and speaks this evening in st. Joseph,
where he is advertised as the man de-
clared by Secretary Shaw to be the
best campaigner he ever knew. Mr.. 4
Dobson has not lived there for long
time. It is understood he has been in
Chicago.
It has been noted that IN the re-
Gently published set of books contain
ing the writings and speeches of Pres
fdent Roosevelt, his speeches while on
his journey across the country were
given. with the exception that the adj
dresses he delivered in Iowa were
omitted. Why?
