Des Moines, Sept 24.-There Is more
the republican state headquarters for
Iowa than in the western sub-com-
mittee quarters at Chicago from which
point the important campaigns in In
diana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Colorado.
Missouri, and other states will be di-
rected. This fact was discovere
when Chairman Spence and others
went into Chicago this week to talk
over matters there. 1t is here in Des
Moines that the best work is being done
for the committee and for the party.
Iowa is already we'll organized and the
campaign fairly started. 1t is true
that only & few have got into the fight
yet, but others are being drawn In an
the work is well in hand The great
est danger now is that all the goo
speakers from Iowa will be drafted fer
other states. There is wonderful
demand for the best of the Iowa speak
ers. For instance, Governor Cum
minis has just received pressing in
vitatton from Senator Dick, chairman
of the Ohio state committee, In which he
is urged to go to Ohio and assist es-
pecially in some of the congressions1
districts OF that state. There are dis
tricts where the democrats are threat
ening to make inroads on the score If
the tariff and the Ohio people feel ths T.
there is nobody like Governor Cumn1ir
to help them out Of "a bad box. In In
diana the same condition preyail,.
diana committees, has been urging ths
Governor Cummins come to that state
and speak in the districts where the
democrats are making strong claim
The situation is represented to have be
come bad In that state. Senator Fail
banks has helped it out a little by his
letter Of acceptance in which he show
himself to be progressive and in line
with the sentiment of the rank AMI
file on living questions, but there is a
call for help in Indiana. AS Governe
Cummins has engagements in Kansas,
Illinois, and Minnesota 1t is not GEL
tain he can go farther east.
Senator Dolliver has been drafted by
the national committee for the long trip
with Fairbanks thru the west. Doll
yer joined Fairbanks in Chicago last
night and opened with him at La
Crosse today. They will remain to-
~ A
miles into the west and out again ar d
to Omaha, where Dolliver will leave
the party. He may be diverted in,o
Colorado for a few speeches by hin
self.
Congressman Cousins is to join tie
Fairbanks party at North Platte on tt e
morning of October 10 and accompary
him to Chicago. To the 4,795 miles
which Fairbanks will travel from Chi
cago to Omaha, as the itinerary has
been arranged, must be added about
600 into Chicago, since the party w. II
go a circuitous route by way of Fo It
Dodge, Waterloo, Marshalltown, Dns
Moines and Davenport.
The Iowa committee has parti al
promise of a date for Secretary Taft
at Burlington about October 25. Tile
western branch of the national conf
mittee is desirous of placing him there.
He is to be out in Kansas about tn 1T
time. The state committee has tile
promise of some other good speake IS
for the campaign in Iowa, also, but WHO
they are is not yet known.
The state committee will begin in a
few DAYS making dates for large list
of good speakers. This will inclu lie
both the senators and all the canoi-
dates for congress. There is not
candidate for congress but that will De
available and not one but that Gun
make an excellent speech. Albert F..
Dawson is the only one who will co A.
fine himself strictly to his own dis
trict and several Of the others will be
able to give him a week of their tine.
I'm fact they will nearly all be ma lie
use Of at some time in the Second co l.
gressional district. Among those who
will be given hardest work are Sen
ator r. H. Hubbard, Judge P. B. Bril-
sail. Col. W. P. Hepburn and Judge
Walter I. Smith.
Among the state speakers who will
be available for assignment by the
state committee are nearly all the ac-
tive young speakers Of the state. Two
or three of the candidates for state CT
fee will be available. especially Attcr-
ney General Mullan, Secretary Of State
w ID N5or+in and State Auditor B. F.
Carroll Lieutenant Governor John
Herriott will also take part in the cam
paien. The candidates for electors-;tt-
large James N. Trewin, of Cedar Rap
ids. and F. S. Ormsby, of Emmetsbu e,
will be given dates, and also seve al
others of the candidates for electors.
Senator Trewin will make an especially
active canvass of the entire state.
Here are some of the speakers whose
services have been placed at the dis
posal Of the state committee and whose
