Special to Times-Republlcan.
Des Moines, Nov. 13.-Petty meth
DDS resorted to by certain newspapers
between campaigns in following out
their program to pound Cummlns IN
to the earth" have again been taken
up and the first was IN the Des
Moines Daily Capital last evening. The
article blames Governor Cummns for
not Inviting Lieutenant Governor
John Herriott and Railroad Commits
soner D. ]. Palmer" both old soldiers,
to accompany the special train that
will tour the southern battlefields and
dedicate the monuments to the memory
of the soldiers from this state who lost
their lives there. The article is of the
silliest rot.
In the first place it was not an lnvi-
tation affair, but case of first come
first served, and everybody go that
can raise sufficient coin of the realm
to pay the l cent a mile. The legis-
lature last winter appropriated money
to pay the expense of taking free all
persons connected with the services
of defeating the monuments. The
governor presents each of the monu-
| ments to the federal government. The
hill provided also for transportation for
the members of the various commits
sions who erected the monuments.
Anybody else could go who wanted to
by paying their fare. Arrangements
We're made SO that by the state bearing
the expense of the commissioners and
those connected with the dedications a
rate Of l cent mile could be obtained
SO that many old soldiers were able
to take advantage of the occasion and
again visit the battlefields.
Instead of it's being an invitation
affair it was ADVERTISED. The Rock
Island railroad got out circulars and
distributed them promiscuously Meth
err Lieutenant Governor Herriott nor
Railroad Commissioner D. j. Palmer
appear on the program in the cere-
mony Of dedicating the monuments.
The matter of selecting the speakers
and making up the programs was en-
tirely in the hands of the several COM
missions. If the state had appropriate
ed money so that Herriott and Palmer
could have gone free it would have had
no excuse for not taking every other
old soldier in the state. Had Herriott
and Palmer wished to attend the ded-
ications they could readily have done
so by going to a Rock Island ticket
office and laying down their money like
the other old soldiers who went on
i, @,.;,, Sronia1 train
The number on the train was limit
ed to 1873, not by the wish Of the gov
ernor nor any of the members of the
commission, but to the fact that part
Of the trip is by boat on the Tennes-
see river and the two boats available
together held but 1888. An effort was
made to get them to attach barges so
that more could go. Before the limited
capacity Of these boats was discovered
it had been advertised that if the spec
ial train did not carry all who oTanted
to go a second train would be made up.
