Special 10 Times Republican.


Des Mones, Sept. 22.--Iowa repub-
licanism is national republcansm,
and there is no need for putting a
special tag on one to designate him as
''national' republican,, or another
to brand him as Lincoln republic
an" or to make other nvidious dis
tnctions. Such will be the showing
by Governor Cummins in his cam
paign opening.
Much interest attaches to his coming
speech on Monday at Churdan, espec-
tally as to the tariff utterances. The
democrats have started the story that
the delay III the opening was due TO
his desire to revise the speech Such
is not the case. The tariff portion of
his address was completed a week ago,
but the governor has not had the time
to elaborate on that portion which re-
lateS to the state issues raised by his
opponent.
The governors exposition of the doc
trine of protection, which he has al
ways defended and advocated, will be
read with immediate interest. 1t is to
be expected that the democrats will
make concerted onslaught OF the same
as soon as the speech has been utter
ed, but it will be a speech that will
make all republicans applaud.
The governor goes into Greene coun-
ty with this speech because of the fact
that here is one of the places where
systematic effort has been made to in
duce republicans to sign the bolter's
pledge in the interest of the demo-
cratic campaign, and it has been wide
ly published that the democrats are
making some headway there. The
governor next week goes into southern
Iowa, where there has been a request
outstanding for long time for him to
speak.
The news comes by way of the Den
ison Review, whose editor is very close
to Secretary Shaw, that the secretary
of the treasury will support the entire
republican ticket in Iowa this year,
and in his speeches i'm this state he
will urge voters to stand by their party
nominees in all cases. No definite
statement has been made upon this
subject before, and this will be ac-
cepted as final. There had been dis
position on the part of some repub-
licans to claim that Shaw was outside
the breastworks, and that he stood out
at the state convention against the at
titude of the senators and congress-
men. With both cabinet members sup
porting the ticket all the congressman
doing duty, and 98 per cent of the re-
publican newspapers loyal to the party,
there seems to be few left to rally
around the standard of Charley john
ston.
Some surprise is expressed here that
the democrats have begun to circulate
I the many times exploded and exposed
fakes about Governor Cumnins being
a democrat when he ran for the leg
| islature, and voting the democratic
ticket just a few months before he
presided over republican state con-
vention many years ago. The whole
/! thing was exposed in the campaign of
| five wears ago, was shown up again and
again this year, and no person other
| than one who desires to be deceived
will now give it the least credence.
Rev. A. z. Kepford, who has been out
| in a dozen or more counties of the
state lecturing, and who has abundant
opportunity to gauge the temper of the
people, estimates that Mr.. Porter will
| fall short over 10000 OF making good
the democratic boast of carrying Iowa
| this year. Mr. Kepford finds that in
the rank and file of the republican
party there is no talk of boiling and
that the noise made is by only few
| persons.
