Governor Cummins then proceeded
to an examination of railway influence
in the state in detail. First, he took
up the reservation through which
territory runs the main line of the
Burlington road. He said this part
of the state is ruled politically with
an iron hand by J. w. Blythe, general
counsel of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad
''His power has been one of the
marvels of the time" said the gov
ernor. His organization, created
through the prodigai distribution of
passes and through the fayors that
can be bestowed by transportation
company, has been for long period

weather drove the people into thu
opera house, far too small to holt
them all, but the audience was a rep
resentative one of this part of tn,
Eleventh district.
When Governor Cummins was in
troduced the applause was deafening
In his preliminary remarks the gov
ernor denied that he had worked fol
the election of Governor Boies fol
governor and said he was republican
and had worked and voted for every
republican candidate for the presi
dency since U. s. Grant. He said he
was not "standpatter" in anything
He believed that progress could bt
made in everything.
He referred to John D. Rockefeller
and his billions, and to the United
States steel corporation, and said tina,
the people cannot permit monopoly
in an article used in every household
in the country, and that it is the duty
OF the government to shatter this mo
nopOly. He referred to the packers
conspiracy and the failure of the gov
eminent to hold them. He believed
they should be in the penitentiaries.
Then Governor Cummins took ur
some Of the editorial statements OF
Mr.. Perkins in regard to the governors
position and charged that the Sioux

Perkins the Railroads Man
Passing to the principal feature OF
his address, Governor Clmmins said
the development of corporations, the
establishment of trusts and monopo.
lies, and their disposition to interfere
with the government and to dominate
public affairs is without a parallel in
the history of the world. He said
common, ordinary people have awak-
ened to the necessity of regulating
the power and Of curbing the avarice
of the corporations. Following on
this line, he said the corporations
which in Iowa were attempting to
mold the policies of the state are the
railway corporations. Continuing, he
said:
MY charge against the candidacy of
Mr.. Perkins is this, that, with or
without his consent, it matters not
which, he has been selected as the
candidate through whom the power
of the railway companies in Iowa
politics is to be exhibited. They have
chosen him as the medium to make
it clear to the people of this state
and to the people Of the country that
they can nominate whomsoever they
please His nomination would be
hailed from one ocean to the other as
evidence that in Iowa the corporations
are supreme.
II have not challenged Mr.. Perkins
integrity, but do assert that substan-
TALLY the following he has in the pres
ent contest springs either directly or
indirectly from railway influence and

1t is doubtful whether Emperor Nicholas could

be most unwelcome guest. For there is in the
Dual Empire a very large SIav population
which. dissatisfied with Hapsburg rule. has for
years looked to Russia for encouragement in
its resistance TO the Austro-Hung garian crown,
and which has always affected to regard the
Russian Gar as its spiritual chief 10 whom 1t
owes the same kind Of allegiance as that which
devout Catholics accord TO the Pope at Rome.
Moreover. the Hungarians hold Russia, and
particularly the imperial house of Roruanofr

Nicholas marched Muscovite army across the
frontier into Hungary for the purpose OF assist

selves guilty OF so much savagery and barbarity
on that occasion that to this day everything

classes Of the population in Hungary More

the death OF Emperor Francis Joseph, which In
view of his advanced age and impaired health
can no longer be regarded as a remote con-

OF all for an Emperor OF Russia
Germany is out OF the question as far as
Nicholas is concerned. No deposed sovereign
has ever yet chosen that country as an asylum,
realizing. probably that his presence there would
be distasteful. not alone TO the people but like
wise TO the rulers. since 1t would serve as an
illustration TO the Socialists OF the fate in store
for monarchs who turn deaf ear TO the peoples

gave that title to the most dramatic and yet
truthful Of all his novels. At the present mo-
