Special to Times Republican.
Iowa are going to be treated to ons
of the fashioned political cam
paigns this year. Sufficient is known
already to assure that in the cam
paign just started there will be an ar
ray of the best speakers of the coun-
try and reliance will not be placed on
state orators only. Here are some OF
the speakers of national repute who
are likely to be heard in Iowa this year
in support of the republican ticket:
Secretary of War Taft of Ohio, who
is clearly in the presidential class, and
tration, especially in regard to the re-
form program, will hardly be ques-
toned.
Vice President Fairbanks of Indiana,
who wants to be president. He sent a
very cordial message to the leader of
fore in Iowa, and has many friends
here.
Speaker Joe Cannon, just renomin-
ated for the seventeenth time without
anybody accusing him of trying to be
the only man in his neck o the woods.
He is being advertised as Roosevelt's
entry in the presidential race.
Senator LaF'ollette, of Wisconsin,
whose name is sometimes used in con-
nection with the presidential nominal
ton. He has a warm side for Iowa
and would doubtless take pleasure in
adding his word in behalf Of the prin-
ciples of the party.
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, just re-
nominated at statewide primary for
senator against Yates, the railroad at
torney. Cullom is old but believes the
republican party has work yet to per-
form.
Coe 1. Crawford, of South Dakota,
republican nominee for governor; a
former Iowan who is leading his par
ty in the Sunshine state to a position
of permanent ascendency.
Ex-Governor Van SAINT of Minneso-
ta, former Iowsn, whose voice was
heard in the re-convention cam
paign in Iowa 10 good advantage.
Governor Deneen of Illinois, who has
kindly feeling for Iowa because he
married an Iowa girl. All Illinois
looks to Iowa as best neighbor.
Attorney General Brown, of Nebras-
ka, provided he becomes the republl-
can senatorial nominee in that state
after whipping the old machine. He
is an eloquent man who claims Iowa
as his former home.
This is just starter. Doubtless a
number of the members of congress
will also come to Iowa from other
states to help out in campaign which
is national in every sense of the word.
Never before has Iowa attracted such
nation wide attention in politics. Ev-
erywhere the result will be watched
with keenest Interest. The democrats
hope for figures that will give them
encouragement and that will indicate
to the nation at large that the star of
Roosevelt is setting and the Bryan
sun is rising. The best republican
speakers of the country will be here
to urge that no such result be at
tanned.
1t is probable that not only will
Governor Curamins but other loWan3
be used in the campaigns in sur
rounding states. The governor is wan
ed in Minnesota, Missouri. South Da-
kota, Minnesota and Nebraska and has
been invited to Illinois
The democrats are pinning their
hopes on the persuasive power of MI,
Bryan, who will be almost the only
democrat of national repute to take
part in the state campaign here.
