The republicans of Iowa in convention assembled

Roosevelt with exceeding pride that we contemplate
the confidence reposed in him by the people of our
country and the admiration which he commands from
the whole world.
Iowa rejoices In the prominence and influence OF it's
representatives in the cabinet and in congress They
have discharged the duties of public station with honor
and high credit to themselves the state and the nation
and deserve the esteem and affection Of the people
whom they have so faithfully served.

that their influence exerted in behalf of legislation
which will protect the health OF people and maintain
equality Of opportunity upon commercial highways
The courageous leadership and practical adminstra-
ton OF Governor Cummins merits our unqualified APP
prevail appreciate the honor conferred upon our
party him and other state officials who have given
ceponal service to people In all the departments
the highest degree Of efficiency has prevailed
and fidelity to public service is everywhere manifest 1t
gratifying to know that with tax levy for state pur
poses by means burdensome and with generous sup
port all public obligations the state Is free from debt
and with ample funds for current needs
The republican party has always stood for the en-
arged participation of the individual voter In public
affairs To this end pledge ourselves and our party

this we must believe that in his censure
he sought to appeal to prejudice rather
than to patriotism.
The Primary Election Law.
1t is fortunate from my point of view.
that both parties have pledged themselves
to the adoption of a primary election law.
The nomination of candidates for office is
not less important than their election,

safeguards that shield the votes in No

WELFARE OF AMERICA
FIRST CONSIDERATION
President Roosevelt on the Duty Of
American Voters to Support .
the Ticket.

President Theodore Roosevelt, in a re-
cent letter to Congressman Watson or
Indiana, discussed the issues of the cam
paign as affecting the nation and urged
the republicans to stand by their party.
In part he said: ..
IF there were only partisan issues in
voIved in this contest ! should hesitate
to say anything publicly in reference
thereto. But I do not feel that such IS
the case. On the contrary, L feel that
all good citizens who have the welfare
of America at heart should appreciate
the immense amount that has been &C
complished by the present congress, or
ganized as it is, and the urgent need of
keeping this organization in power. #
with Mr.. Cannon as speaker, the
house has accomplished a literally phe-
nomenal amount of good work. 1t has
shown a courage, good sense and patriot
ism such that it would be real and Sc
rious misfortune for the country to FAN
to recognize.
'aTo change the leadership and organi-
zation of the house at this time means to
bring confusion upon those VINO nave
been successfully engaged in the STEADY
working out of a great and compreheh-
siye scheme for the betterment OF our
social, industrial and civic conditions.
Such a change would substitute pur.
poseless confusion, a violent and hurtfm
extreme radical and the extreme reac-
tionary for the present orderly progress
along the lines of cerafully thought out
policy.
"The interests of this nation are as
varied as they are vast Congress must
take account not of one national need but
of many and widely different national
needs, and speak with historic accuracy
when 1 say that not in our time has
any other congress done so well IN SO
many different fields of endeavor as the
present congress has done.
mo congress can do everything. Still
less can it in one session meet every
need At its first session the present
congress in addition to the many tasks
it actually completed, undertook several
tasks which l firmly believe 1t VIII bring
to completion in it's second session next
winter Among these hope and believe
that the bills to prohibit political contri-
buttons by corporations and TO lower the
duties on imports from the Philippine
islands, each of which has been passed
by one house, will be enacted into law

not candid enough to so state, that every
dollar expended by any officer of the
state must be appropriated for the pur-
pose by the general assembly. He dare
not challenge the general assembly, and,
initiating the methods and copying almost
literally the circulars of the railway
bureau he suggests that l have been ex-
travagant and reckless, simply because it
has cost the state of Iowa more to dis
charge it's several functions during recent
years than it. cost in former years. 1

spect. In its fiscal affairs. the. state
makes up it's accounts for biennial
periods, and not for calendar, years, and
will therefore follow this plan.

Every penny of these expenditures was
appropriated by a general assembly. The
table have. given shows great in
crease, but the inquiry that an intelli-
gent and patriotic citizen would make is
have these appropriations been made
cordance with the appropriations?

subject further. For the public institu-

port and for buildings and improvements,
there was expended In the first biennial
period that have named, $20S3, 49,. 90;
for the last period, 50, h4, 797-an increase
of 81 $50, TOSS. If Mr.. Porter does not
desire to be convicted of unjustly assail-
ing the management of his state. he
ought to point out wherein the increase
was improvidently appropriated or
wrongfuIly expended. These institutions
are in the hands of a board created
partially through the legislative labors
of the democratic candidate for governor;
a board composed of some of the most
eminent citizens of the state, who are
as zealously devoted to the welfare of
the people and as scrupulously honest as
any men in the commonwealth. The APP
preparations were made upon their rec
omInendation, and have been expended
solely under their supervision.

state an even chance with their competi-
tors elsewhere.
Republicans and Monopoly.
Passing from transportation to So
called industrial corporations, we meet
a problem not less vexatious, not less
moving of our products. There is, and has
been for years, a manifest tendency to-
ward combinations in various forms, not
only for the purpose of decreasing the
cost of production, which Is legitimate
and to be commended. but for the pur-
pose also of suppressing competition in
commercial life. The latter is vicious,
and should be met with all the restrain
ing powers of government. The republic
can party has not hesitated to attack
this evil with all the energy that can be
crowded into the administration of the
law. 1t enacted a rigorous statute pro-
hibiting such combinations, and during
Theodore Roosevelts time offenders have
been relentlessly prosecuted 1t is not
to be said that the law is a perfect one.
1t will be a long time before we are
able to combat with entire success the
are moving steadily forward. Each year
finds us more effective than the preced-
ing year, and while progress is slow, it
is sure: We will finally divorce the I'M
holy alliances between favored producers
and manufacturers and the transporta-
ton companies, and when we destroy the
discrimination so fatal to the independ-
ent producer, monopoly will become i'm
possible.
Theodore Roosevelt is making a gallant
fight for these reforms l know how en-
tirely you are in sympathy with his eff
forts. There is but one way you can
strengthen him and encourage him, one
way In which you can make him invinCi-
BILE and that is to surround him with a
republican congress more Jealous than
ever before, and a republican majority
that will express your appreciation of his
heroic work. ....

The Waue Question,

President Roosevelt: At all hazards and

complished by changes in the tariff, the
American workingman must be protected
in his standard of wages-that is in his
standard of living-and must be secured
the fullest opportunity of employment. "

VALUABLE WORK.

Speaker Cannon: No session OF
congress has, in my judgment, for
thirty years accomplished SO much
that is valuable in legislation for
the best interests of all the people
as has been enacted during the
present session. believe that this
will be the verdict of history.

STRIVE FOR PRINCIPLE.

Gov. A. b. Cummins: 1t seems
to me that it is not only the privi-
lege but the duty of every repub-
lican to strive earnestly for the
just application OF the principles
of his party. The test of his 10y
atty is his support OF the principle,
not his Judgment with regard to
the amount of duty required to full
nh the principle.

State Affairs.

1 have something TO say with regard to
the state administration of which l have
been "a part. / have neither the time nor
am 1 beset with the temptation to reply
to the sneerS which mar the speeches of
the democratic candidate for governor
respecting my sincerity in speaking of
and dealing with the railway companies

toward them without fear or favor. !
confess that 1t astonishes me somewhat
to observe that gentleman so high
minded. and ordinarily so fair, as Mr..
Porter, should fall into the errors COM
mitted by the railway companies them
selves in their preliminary campaign
against me. He devotes much space to
the assessment for taxation of the rail-
ways; and while he does not so intend
there is not, l think, a single truthful
conclusion TO be drawn from either his
statistics or his statements. He first in

have claimed all the credit for the in
crease in the assessment of railway prop
erty during the last five years. If he can
discover letter or line emanating
from me that even suggests so unworthy
a sentiment, | will freely acknowledge
myself to be as unfit for the office of
governor as he believes me to be; but 1
challenge the production of anything that
the hottest political rancor can pervert
into such suggestion. One who can
press so tainted an insinuatlon into his
service has little regard for the truth. and
less for the intelligence of the people.
A Porter Mistake.
Again, in order to disparage me- he in
stances the assessment of the Des Moines
Union Railway company, saying:
will anyone for moment contend
that the Des Moines Union railway, with
an assessed valuation of about $225, 900
last year for eighteen miles of track, and
for which the governor, If not now, was
formerly a director and general counsel
is not worth at least double that
amount?"
Let us see how the Dcs Molnes Union
Railway company has Jared at the hands
of the executive council during the last
hve years. First, II has four miles of
main track, and under the law IL is main
track only that can be assessed In
1901, the assessment of the Des Moines
Union Railway company was SlS5OO0 In
1906 1t is $4,000 The assessed value is
one-fourTh of the amount which is de-
termined upon as its actual value; there
fore the actual value of the four miles
of Des Moines Union railway track with
the accompanying sidetracks, is $1,200,OOO
