Des Moines Iowa, Oct. 13.-Governor A. B.
'Cummins addressed himself to the Republicans
of Iowa in Fosters operahouse on the tariff.
He made personal reference to his newspaper
controversy with Secretary Shaw, and said that
he could get dozen men in Des Moines to
make affidavit that Shaw did say, concerning
.then French treaty before the Des Moinesi bank
ers Just what Editor Lafe Young quoted him
as saying, and what Shaw denies he ever said
The governor attacked LATE, Young, and said
that with other editors, Young has the belief
that no. man is a genuine republican in Iowa
unless he has the stamp Of the Burlington road
in his forehead. II :#%s
}: This stamp is attested by the keeper Of the
seals, who is now unfortunately taking q tour
around the world" said the governor.
Young is the man referred to as taking the
tour, as he left Iowa some time ago with the
Taft party and is now returning to America via
Europe. = - $, ~ q. = ~ : ?
Is Inasmuch as the governor made his address
largely personal and local, the rurnor that he Is
candidate for congress against Captain Hull
has received new color. 1t Is now believed firm
" by politicians that he will make the race
for congress in the seventh district.
Politicians say that the governor cannot af-
ford to get out Of politics. He has served the
state as governor two terms. he could run for
ia third term, but no Iowan has. ever made a
cess Of that venture. - .
Z The governor said that storm OF
Misrepresentation has ragged about him. = BE
said that unfortunately the fight is SO close in
Iowa that in his speeches he must single out
men for special reference in his addresses.
|z.- II Idle to Talk of Harmony.
''I must be bit personal at times,'' he re-
marked "TEere is a fight on and 1t IS idle to
talk about harmony This fight must go on
until one side or the other acknowledges defeat
This. battle In Iowa will disappear only in the
submission OF the minority to the majority. The
campaign will continue until it reaches its full
fruftion in the republican platform Of 1908
Then expect to see declaration that will
clear the atmosphere. hope to see candidate

be in sympathy with the party utterance, what
ever it may be- ..,- -,l-4-l d.. .rfs!s. IN
The governor said that he has no sympathy
with the force in Iowa which stands between
| the lines and says that the fight. will weaker
| the party. He said: t"rhere is neither glory
Tor gain for them. They must line up ont
way or the other The only danger of the repub

I wealth, and this danger will be swept away BY

The, governor addressed himself solely to tn
reciprocity feature Of his speech. He reiterated
| his former utterances on the tariff and sal,
that the "standpatter' stands before his lido
with passion in his tone and selfshness in hi
