SENATOR ALLIsoNs VIEWS.
He viii Take Modest Part In. the
Presidential Campaign.


Presidential Campaign.
Dubuque. July 28. Senator Will
liam B. Allison has returned from the
state capital where he has been in at
tendance at the republican conven-
ton. $4,000,
He said in an interview that the
convention was very harmonious and
agreeable; that while the main sub
ject Of discussion was the tariff, yet
no wide breaches Of opinion prevail
ed and thai Congressman Hepburn's
speech was greatly admired. In short
all was serene and while the senator
did not. Of, course put it that way, a
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS prevailed.
In regard to the coming campaign
the senator said that he had not ma
tured his own plans, but expected, OF
courst, to take some part in 1t, There
was not much Likelihood of any great
speakers from outside of Iowa being
brought into the state as 1t is not gen
orally regarded as being very debate
able ground. Still, there might be
some, he added.
a, He did not look for an unusually
lively campaign, compared with 9TH
er presidential years, but 1t would
probably be little more stirring than
in 1896.
1t is not possible to say, he assert
ed, upon what particular question or
along what given lines the battle will
be fought, but 1t is likely that the tar
if, trusts, "so-called imperialism and
militarlsm" will play the leading roles
in the fall drama Roosevelt's person
ality will also be an issue at the pres.
ent outlook.
The interviewer did not ask nor did
the senator volunteer an opinion as to
the upshot Of the fight, but 1t was evil
dent that he expected republican sue,
cess.
He said that he heard OF Max.
wells intention to support Roosevelt
while in Des Moines and that he knew
little about his paper or his personal
influence.
The senator is looking very well;
better In fact, than when he returned
from Washington at the close Of the
session. He will stay in Dubuque most
of the summer, though he is planning
three weeks trip after awhile. but
in what direction he did not say.
