in the picture which Congressman
Hull has drawn of the work done by
the congress which has just adjourned
he modestly has refrained from the
part played by the Iowa men at Wash
ington. In all its achievements which
it is agreed are among the greatest to
the credit of any Of the congresses, the
Iowa men have exerted potent influ-
ence. To the Iowa men more than to
any other in congress, believe, is due
the credit for the great things which
have just been done at Washington.
ITO this the observing critic in
Washington fully agrees. The great
newspaper correspondents of the cap
ital city concur in the judgment The
Register and Leader could easily fill it's
pages daily with comment concerning
the work of the men Of Iowa in Wash

have to do

Mr.. 1ngham has set good example.
He has shown to his political associ-

Iowa delegation in Washington. None
of the congressman are candidates
against Cummins, and it is denied that
Cummins is candidate against any of
the Iowa delegation.

by reclamation.
The Sioux City Journal says that
"the company he keeps" is the trouble
with Harvey Ingham and sometimes
one is led to wonder what he would be
saying If he were in Algona instead OF
Des Moines
But he has struck popular chord
by discovering and letting it be known
that an Iowan can be for Cummins and
for the Iowa delegation too.

VOTES IN IOWA.

Cedar Rapids Republican, few
days ago a certain paper figured it out
That in event of two republican tickets
IN the field, that Mr.. Cummins could
be reelected with the aid of few
democratic votes. The assumption
was made that democrats plenty would
vote for the third term candidate.
But in reply to that position we ex-
pressed grave doubts about the wis
dom of either faction in the republi-
can party relying on democratic votes;
that the democrats would be more
likely to vote their own party's ticket
this year. This is the last election in
Iowa preceding the presidential cleo
ton in which Iowa democrats will
stand for Bryan. A show of
strength in this state this year is an
essential preparation for the presiden-
tial campaign.
But the Vinton Eagle has gone fur
Their than to show that democrats will
vote their own ticket this year. 1t
shows that they have not been voting
the republican ticket in past elections
in Iowa.
1t is widespread notion that Mr..
Cummins in his two elections smash
ed repuDllcan records. But that is not
the case. In 1899 Leslie M. Shaw, for
governor polled 239,464 votes and
Fred White, democratic candidate
for governor, polled 1s3,301 votes.
Two years later, Mr.. Cummins, for
governor polled only 226,193 votes. or
nearly 10000 less than Shaw had
polled two years before. Mr.. Cummins'
majority, however, was the larger,
since only 143,7S3 votes were recorded
for his democratic opponent, Mr.. Phil
lips. The democrats simply did not
vote for their candidate that year.
That year 1852 republicans did
not vote and 39,518 democrats did not
vote But it does not appear that any
number of democrats voted for the
republican ticket
In 1903, 23s,S0S republicans voted
for Mr.. Cummins. still falling six hun

We stopped to take a lunch in the
town of Albert Lea
They said we had the time to eat and
drink you see.
We were so awful lank we could eat
the town,
And made straight for the stand. a
sandwich to put down.
We ordered up the coffee, they said we
had the time,
Besides you see the scheme, they'd
make another dime.
we ordered up the coffee and poured
in the cream,
Then that Internal whistle gave an
awful scream.

While we started down the track, .

It'll fellow gets his lunch swal-
lowed and out Of sight?"
And then the way we dug 1t must have
been a sight,
Then down the track we went like
comm from a gun,
Was bound to catch that train, or rur
her to the sun.
One poor old colored man, whose bone!

And he'll have lots of time, his luncI
