formation.
Speaking of Senator Smiths state
ment in his speech to the federation
the other day, that Kansas women get
whatever they ask for and can have
the ballot whenever they demand it
with any unanimity, an enthusiastic
fragist said: 81 should have liked to
have answered Senator Smith on that
point, and called his attention to the
fact that ten years ago when the suf-
amendment was voted upon at
the time of the presidential election,
not only did thousands of Kansas wo-
men demand the ballot, with every
evidence of unanimity, put they were
upheld by thousands OF Kansas men
who voted for the amendment, vet the
Kansas legislature has never seen fit
to enfranchise us. Senator Smith
cited the fact that when we asked for
state support for the travelling library
commission we were granted it, but
for one woman who interested herself
in the travelling library five hundred
have asked the right to vote. Besides,
why should women have to ask for
the franchise? Other disenfranchised
classes have been enfranchised with
out being obliged to grovel and plead
for their rights

London, Oct 2S.-The Daily Chron-
icle tomorrow will publish an interview

day, in which the admiral is quoted as
saying that when the vessels OF the
Russian squadron found themselves
surrounded by the fishing fleet the war
ships had to stop their engines con-
tinually SO as not to get their screws
entangled in the nets. The war SHIPS
frequently gave way to the trawiers.

Spencer, Oct. 2S.-An immense au-

at the big republican rally held in the

band headed a large delegation from
that lively burg and rendered some ex-

Hon. A. II. Cheney introduced the
speakers of the evening, the first of
whom was F. f. F'aviile, presidential
elector nominee. of Storm Lake, Mr..
Fayille surprised his audience with his
eloouence and clear cut practical
speech on the theme, America Sup
plies the World Commercially" made
possibly by the fostering and promot-
ing of manufacturing interests under
republican rule. AS touching the
Philippines he said he ''would not bring
the flag down in the Philippines, but
bring the Filipinos up to the flag and
all that the flag represents"
Congressman Robert g. Cousins gave

CUMMINS AT GRINNELL
Addresses Large Political Gathering
at the Colonial .vhsater-A PIesscd

Special to Timecr Republican.
Grinnell, Oct. 2S.-The Colonial thea
ter was crowded last night with an
interested audience when Governor
evening, came upon the stage. "Old
Glory's'' graceful folds were above him
and the back of the stage was also well
covered by the flags. Music from a
fine band Of wind instruments, and
songs by a male quartet, opened the
evenings exercises. The ladies had
been especially invited and they We're
there in force. Ex-senator C.. w. Car
ter introduced the speaker in few
simple, truthful, well chosen words.
The governor was greeted with hearty
applause which also continued as oc-
casion called for it thruout the even
ing. The governor first expressed his
thankfulness at being back again in
Iowa, the best state in the union. The
speech which followed was along
broad lines showing what had been
done by the republican and contrasting
it sharply with what has been promis-
ed by their political opponents. He
outlined history from 1861, the first
time the republicans had a chance to
show what was in it, down to 1904.
He touched upon the tariff, showing
the benefits of the policy Of protec-
ton by the prosperity that has re-
suited from 1t. He spoke of the trusts
and reiterated the statements which
have so often been quoted to his credit.
incidentally only did he touch imper-
ialism in his reference to the Philip
pines and the work for humanity be-
ing accomplished there. He spoke
with enthusiasm of President Roose-
velt and also paid his respects to Can
didate Parker of the opposing party.
His speech was vehement and full of
action and carried his audience with
him. vet left no cause for bitterness IN
the hearts of those who do not agree
with him. The governor is evidently
worn with the extensive campaigning
and his voice showed some hoarseness.
The meeting was a decided success.
