Special to Times Republican.
Des Mones, Oct. 21.-Gov. Cummins
started for Atchison, kas., this morn
ing where he will speak this evening
at republican rally. The governor
was urged long ago to go to Kansas
and make some speeches. The Clay
Center rally for Saturday afternoon
was arranged for him and it is to be Il
big rally for that part of Kansas. The
governor is assured of a crowd at At
Gibson. He had Il pleasant time IN
Ohio At Toledo he spoke to an inn
menSe crowd. speaking after John w.
Ye.kes, of Kentucky. He had small
er crowd at Bucyrus, the democratic
stronghold of Ohio, where the republi-
can committee has hopes Of carrying
the day.
II am pretty tired of these long trips
in the campaign said the governor.
II have had large meetings and atten-
tive audiences and the republicans are
there are no issues on which a real dis
cussion can be had. The democrats
have raised no questions, are present
ing no front and really appear not to
have made any impression on the vot-
erS. 1t Is therefore a difficult matter
to make a campaign under such cir
cumstances. 1t is not inspiring nor en-
joyable. But everywhere / go the re-
publicans are filled with confidence and
there is very little left of the demo-
cracy. In Ohio the committee hopes
to give Roosevelt 10000 majority"
Governor Cummins will go into the
Second district of Iowa the last week
of the campaign. and the committees
there have great hopes that the gov
ernor will go far toward making cer-
tain the election of a republican MEM
Der of congress. The governor will be
able to very quicklv demonstrate that
the republican position is vastly diff
ferent from that Of Judge Wade. He
has some speeches in northern Iowa,
also, where good meetings are expect
ed. There is a strong demand for the
governor in both Colorado and Illinois.
and he would like to go there. but
could not give up his Iowa dates.
Much is expected from the state COM
mittee from the meetings by Secretary
Shaw, who devotes three days to Iowa
at the close of the campaign, speak
ing at Cedar Rapids, Missouri Valley,
Sioux City and Denison. This will be
a fitting roundup Of a quiet but ag-
gressive campaign.

board of control yesterday Il hope it
will be adopted. This thing of cleo

municipal elections in the spring, and
occasionally special election. and pri-
maries and caucuses in the winter time
and in all seasons is entirely too much.
All bosh about the educational advan-
tages of this arrangement. We have
too many elections, too much machin-
ery, too much politics. Iowa should

never talks politics. The spirit of the
law which created the board of control
was to eliminate politics from 1T and
