Charles w. Fairbanks. Of Indiana. Gre
ated a very much more favorable i'm
preston In Des Molnes this time than
he did three years ago when he ap.
peared here for the first time, and
spoke to a fine audience In the Audi
torium. Although he spoke before
breakfast, and prefaced his remarks
by statement that he had not known
until n few minutes before that he
was to speak here, yet his words were
well chosen, he received general ap.
plause and he was evidently In 81 very
happy frame of mind after His exper-
iences III Iowa on the day previous.
While the crowd which gathered about
aim was not large one, yet 1t was
fairly representative, and the men
who listened were earnest. 1t was re-
called that Senator Fairoanks visit
ed Des Motnes u.nlost exact.y three
years ago, that he spoke at the audi
toriuN, and the only unfavorab.e COM
ment at that time was that he lacked
enthusiasm. But that was In Il cam
i0iOWilS TIE s5tlu
death OF President Mckinley, and one
which was wholly lacking in effOr: to
create the spectacular. it was in that
speech in Des Moinas that Senator
Fairbanks turned prophet and of the
then head OF the republican state tick
ct, the leader under whose banner the
Iowa yo.ers were at tnsL time lnarcl-
ing, he said
1T is with very grant pleasure that
! say a word hero IN behaf uf your
candidate for governor, Mr.. Cumn,ins.
though none Is needed from me. He
should be elect I'D, not alone for the
principles ne stands for, but for his
splendid ability. He Is a courageous
defender of the republican faith. an
excellent opponent of republican rrjn-
ciples and will make for your great
state of Iowa a governor Of whom
all will be proud"
1t was in this same speech that Seu-
ator Fairbanks spoke with some en-
thusiasm OF the fact that the repubt-
can party stands for reciprocity and
embodied the great principle in the
Mckinley law and also In the Ding
ley law" and upbraided the demo-
Gratis for having abrogated the treaties
that were negotiated. Reciprocity
treaties have been negotiated" he
said, "by President Mckinley, and they
will have the utmost consideration at
the coming session Of congress" Fair
banks was then a humble member of
the senate. 1t was three years ago.
AS presiding officerof the senate he will
be in a position Of greater influence
to mould the course Of the senate and
to fulfill the promises made in Des
Moines three years ago. He carefully
avoided any discussion of the tariff
question this time, save In the most
general terms.
Millard Cox, of the state banking de-
partment, calls attention to the fact
that figures which appear to have been
distributed thruout the state in regard
to the banking interests of the state
hardly do Iowa justice. They were used
by Fairbanks. He referred to the bank
deposits in Iowa last year as $211,000,-
600. Now the record shows that last
March the bank deposits in Iowa
state, national, savings and private
banks amounted to $252.000,000. To
this should be added the ten million or
more in trust companies And 1t Is a
fact that the deposits in Iowa last
March were very little greater than a.,
any time in the year previous, possibly
a little less; so that If the commercial
agencies and other bodies have accur-
ate information as to bank deposits the
total to be credited to Iowa Is much
larger than the newspapers of Iowa
have been publishing as the high water
mark of prosperity.
The talk Of apathy and Indifference"
said Senator Fairbanks while here,
could not proceed very we'll from any
thing have seen while in the state of
Iowa. The Iowa voters appear to be
sufficiently interested in the campaign
and they appreciate its Importance tc
them. The meetings have had in Iowa
have been the best Of the whole jour-
ney and / could not wish for anything
finer"
Major Lacey made good hit here in
speaking after Fairbanks by his refer
ence to the Importance of the Office Of
vice president. 1.-The American people
have learned the value of this Office
and that it is well to always name a
man Of presidential size" said Major
lacey. 1--WE have had a Tyler for vice.
president and he Tylerized; we have
had Johnson for. vice president and
he Johnsonized; and we have had Il
Roosevelt for vice president and he
Rooseveltized. Now we want another
who will be just as ready to assume
any responsibility as was Theodore
Roosevelt"
Chairman Morrissey says that he is
not having any trouble about division
of the funds received from campaign
assessments He Is quite cheerful
