make a speech so early. However, L
am not disconnected by that fact.

publican policies and there is no rea-

While he was talking a train came
in and disturbed the meeting for a few
moments, calling from the senator the

THAT is a good Republican argu-
ment. In 1896 we could hold meetings
on the railroad tracks almost without
being disturbed"
This speech was literally applauded.

QUIET IN SHAWNEE.
Republican Managers Wonder at APP
parent Apathy.

| The unusual quietness of the cam
paign in Shawnee county and the lack
| of enthusiasm is causing the manag-
ers of the Republican campaign no
little worry.
| The managers are fearful that there
| is some gum shoe" business being
carried on by the opposition. The
managers can hear no echoes from
their campaign thunder and as it is
equally quiet in the Republican and
Democratic, campaigns in Shawnee
county the Republican managers fear
that something is going on that they
know nothing about.
Ask a dozen outspoken persons who
keep tab on the political situation what
this ominouS silence means and they
will say it means that the voters are
deciding for themselves how to vote
and that the result will be scratched
tickets.
Said one politician who has man
aged successful campaigns for candf-
dates in Shawnee county: 1.-The rea-
son of this quietness in the county
campaign is that the people are go
ing to vote as they please and say
nothing about it. They have been
thinking things over and have come
to conclusions of their own and they
VIII not listen to campaign speak
nor political managers nor take advice
from anyone. They are simply going
to vote as they please and the party
lashes and party whips won't drive
them into the old line to follow the
leaders.
This is a startling situation that
confronts the campaign managers In
past years they have sometimes had
trouble in lining their voters up for
some of the county and state tickets
ana their slogan has been stand by
the party. and the party whip has
oeen cracked over the heads of the
voters This worked well enough in
those campaigns. There was a cam
palgn in this county once years ago
and the story of it is oft repeated
Chet Thomas was the local Republi-
can dictator who managed the cam
palgns and kept the voters in line
one day the ballots were being cast
Word was brought to Chef Thomas of
now the votes were being cast in the
Second ward. He was surprised and
When asked what the matter was said
why, they are voting as thew please
down in the second ward That NAV
be the situation on election day"
Inc political managers are eoinr
through the same old forms thew have
followed by opening HEADQUARTERS and
announcing meetings but the usual en-
thuslasm does not follow
Another theory for the lack of noisv
interest IN the campaign is that bust
ness IS better and there is more work
tnan during any campaign before for
years and people do not have time To
give many hours to politics. Some
say that the reason such small crowds
attend the political meetings is on ac-
count of the general activity in all
lnes OF business. No one stands on
the street corners making campafgn
speeches. Instead they are at work
at their trades. November 8 NAV give
the explanation.

$1,1OO FOR ONE.
Auction Sale of Old Coins Brings Big
Prices.

New York, Oct. 12.-Coins belong
ing to a collector from Portland, Ore,
have been sold at auction here for
nearly $1,000. There were only SCI
pieces in all, the prize of the collection
being an American silver dollar coined
in 1904 Collectors came from many
cities to bid on this rare piece, and it
fell into the possession of a Chicago
man for S1.100. When the same dol
the highest price on record for a single
piece. There were only thirteen of
the kind coined, which accounts for
their rarity.
The first high price paid at the auc-
ton was $3.50 for a $40 gold piece
which was coined in 1S49. A dollar
of 1888 coinage brought $3.50, seven
half cents brought 1904, and two half
dollars brought $156.

600 acres of unsold lands of the Red

MADE TEN SPEECHES.
Senator Fairbanks Closes Up His First
Day in Iowa.

Marshalltown, Ia. Oct. 12.-Senator
Fairbanks made here last night the
last of d series of ten speeches deliver
ed since leaving Omaha. The day was
one of the most successful of the west
lern tour, both in point of attendance
and in point of interest. While there
was lack of either at any of the
meetings, Waterloo supplied the larg-
est attendance and there also was tn e
highest pitch of enthusiasm attained.
At that place the meeting was held in
the public park. The crowd was so
extended that the senator's voice could
not be heard on the outskirts and the
people so thronged the streets that it
was almost impossible for the auto
mobile in which he was seated to
make it's way to the park. The most
interesting event of the day occurred
at Fort Dodge, where Senator Fair
banks spoke from the rear platform
of the car Edgemere- Observing the
aged father of Senator Dolliver seated
in a carriage in the rear of the crowd,
Senator Fairbanks descended from the
car at the close of his speech and max
ing his way through the dense crowd,
sought out the old gentleman and
greeted him heartily, engaging him in
conversation while the train remained.
At Iowa Falls Senator Fairbanks
dwelt upon the prosperity of the farm
ers. He said;
IAN eminent Democratic authority
some time ago, in the hope of winning
the support of the great agricultural
country, asserted that the Republican
party had done but little for the farm
erS of the country. He contrasted the
expenditure of five or six millions of
dollars for the support of the agrieul-
tural department with expenditures for
the support of other branches of the
federal service His statement was not
entirely accurate. though he did not
mean that it should fall short of the
absolute truth. The Republican party
has not only appropriated over five
millions for the support of that de-
partment. at the head of which is the
great secretary of agriculture, James
wilson of Iowa. but it appropriated
more than twenty million dollars at
the last session for the support of the
rural free delivery service throughout
the United States. That service is one
of the fruits of Republican administra-
ton. More important than these are
benefits coming TO the United States
through the beneficent operation of
policies of the Republican party The
fact is that our farmers have been
1enehted by the operation of these
policies during the last seven and a
half years more than they ever have
been benefited in all of the history of
the republic"
At Waterloo Senator Allison and
seats on the platform while Fairbanks
spoke, and both made speeches there
after the vice presidential candidate
took his departure. He was accom-
panied during the day by Governor
C-ummins and other prominent Iowa
Republicans. Senator Fairbanks made
his night stop at Marshalltown and
there spoke in Green's opera house TO
a large and appreciative audience
