death and that they were simply seek

How Rallroads Arc FlahtIna cummln

How Railroads Are Fighting cummins.
You hear all kinds of silly stories
about the way the railroads are fight
ing Governor Cummins for reelection.
It Is really touching to note how
cruelty they are lambasting him, and
how they place obstacles in the way
Of his election at every turn of the
road: # is pitiful. to read the Cum
minis papers, TO see how relentlessly
they pursue the idol OF the Cnmmins
outfit. 1t is martyrdom double dis
titled. Daniel in the lions den is
mere pastime compared to the cruel
Neatment the railroads accord Cum
Minis,
That 10, II you believe all you read
h the cummins papers. II you make
up your own mind, they maybe 1t is
different.
And here il Q sample Of the bitter
1sleatlsss. uaesaSing fight they are
making an him. Claude r. Porter
spoke At Missouri Valley, at the coun.
" fair, That is In Harrison county
and thsre are lots Of Democrats In:
disenous to the soil of that good
county. It ia IN Dear Old Senator
Boilers district, or the one he repre-
sented in the state senate before his
Asath, Governor Cummins spoke there
one day and the Northwestern rail.
road furnished a special train and did
everything it could to accommodate
the Republicans. When the Demo.
seats asked for train, the day Porter
was to speak, athere vas nothing
doing" They were toe busy. They
did not have the equipment to furnish
the train and none was Forthcoming,
The Democrats got no train, but bless
the Lord they got the crowd and
they are going to get the votes
This young knight OF Democracy
Porter, had an immense crowd, and
although he spoke but an hour, he
was given an enthusiastic, red hot
welcome. Many Republicans Of the
counties VI 4ettawattamie, Harrison
and Monena say they will more than
make up for 1t by Republicans who
say they will vote for Cummins. We
prefer to have the i'll will OF the rail
roads to having the i'll will of the
voters. Give us the voters and Cum.
minis may have the railroads.
This talk OF the railroads fighting
Cummins is all tommyrot and the
Cumnlins men and their newspapers
know 1t mighty well. Why would
they be for Porter or the Democrats?
Read the two platforms. The Demo-
Gratis declare for 2-cent fares, the Re-
publican platform is silent as the
tomb. The Democrats have nothing
under the sun to hope for from the
railroads, because they promise the
railroads nothing. The railroad rate
bill could not even have passed con-
gress without the patriotic aid of
Democrats, and then the Cummins
gang tries to tell US that the railroads
are fas Porter. O. yes, the railroads
are tor Porter about like the devil is
for religion or like John D, Rookie.
Teller is for Ida NJ. Tarbell or iiks
Senator Allison is for David Graham
Phillips.
The Cpmmins men have been try.
Ing to saddle the railroads onto the
Democrats and upon Porter like the
old man of the sea on Sinbad the
sailor ever since this campaign began,
but without avail. The Cummins pa
pers have this advantage that they
are able to disseminate their foolish
claims. BY means Of their newspapers

The Democrats Of Iowa are not specially
concerned over the Walsh succession. They
are concerned over the election of Porter
and Denison. The real and only duty of
the man to be appointed to the Walsh va
cancy will be to meet once with the ma.
tional committee and vote for place TO
hold the next Democratic national convcn-
tion. Neither of the active candidates for
this position were original Bryan men and
both are now shouting for Bryan, so your.
effort to divide the party between them
Is amusing. Certain candidates for the va
cancy, being possessed with o'er-leaping
ambition, have, as is their want, been try
ing their case in the newspapers, much to
your satisfaction and fully as much 10
their dlscrsdit.

and support of, Mr.. Bryan dates back to
his entrance into public life. and who ex-
poets to be for him until he is elected
president, and who is ready to strike down
any opposition to him, say to the Demo-
Gratis OF Iowa who believe a. I do, that to
my certain knowledge Rryans Ideas and
Bryan's personal interests are the ideas
and interests Of the members of our state
central committee. n. G. EVANS.

Cummins. But, thank heaven, the
standpatters give us little show by
printing the actual news, and not

old Arizona Kicker in its palmiest
days.
The Cummins papers are circulating
fool story about one c. w. Johnston,
Who is sending out circular letters at
lacking Cummins and figuring out his
defeat. The Cummins Republicans say
1t is inspired by the Democratic cam
paign committee and the money is
being put up by the railroads, which
is all rot. What do the railroads care
whether Johnston sends out letters or
not? It is not good politics to do 1t,
anyway The railroads may want
Cummins defeated, but the North.
western Is one that furnishes him
special trains and refuses to do az
much for Porter. But. In any event,
how can these letters Johnston is
sending out help the Democrats?
They are sent to Republicans, and do
you think If they are not already of
color on the ticket. that letter OF
that kind would effect anything. No,
you don't think 80, and the Cummins
men do not and nobody does. The
railroads will not spend cent in that
Ill advised manner, even II they are
against Cummins. which the North
western is not Some other roads
must be for him. because Labor Com
missioner Brigham was abs to borrow
pass to ride on, and he did not even
apologize for this sneak trick after he
was caught.
The Cummins say it will cost hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars to send
q letter to every Republican voter.
There are about 1000 Republican
voters in Iowa. The letters are sent
in one cent envelopes. That would
cost $4,000. The printing and envsl-
opes might cost another thousand.
There would be an expense OF $4,000.
