Des Moines, Sept. 14.-Governor
Cunmins and State Treasurer Gilbert
son are home from Colorado, where
they have been for ten days at Denver
and Colorado Springs. The Colorado
Republicans We're very anxious that
Governor Cummins remain until their
state convention, and they had arrang-
ed that he should address the dele
gates at a mass meeting if he should
remain; but his desire was to attend
big republican anniversary meeting in
tation had been rendered him. The
governor returns much refreshed and
feeling in fine health. He is to speak
at the republican love feast this aft
ernoon, but it is his intention to speak
only in general terms and of the his
tory and traditions of the party, not
I undertaking at this time to make a
campaign speech, and not turning to
the issues of the day as they are
shaped up in Iowa and other states.
The formal opening of the cam
paign, so far as the governor is con-
ceined, will be at Emmetsburg next
Wednesday,, when he will make
speech that will be a guide to all re-
pu'oicans in the state for this cam
paign and for every other campaign.
Senator Dolliver delivers purely
political speech at the anniversary
rally at Ft Dodge, and will have some
thing to say that will interest all re-
publicans Inasmuch as upon him
! rested largely the burden of pushing
| thru hostile senate, the program de-
sired by President Roosevelt, and as
he is known to have come closer to
| the president than any other of the
statesmen at Washington, his utter
ances will be looked forward to with
| interest.
| 1t is matter of note that such a
large number of the able leaders of the
republican party are coming out
promptly and emphatically in favor
of the entire ticket and taking a stand
for party harmony without waiting for
anybody to be coaxed or insisting that
candidates must do this OR that before
they are supported as republicans. SEN

While the democratic newspapers
are referring continually to the late
republican state convention as go
called republican convention" always
mention the republican party as ''the
Cummins party" and sneer continually
at everything done by Iowa republi-
cans that tends to unity the party,
| the fact is that the republican party.
under direction of loyal and broad
/ minded state committee, is getting
ready to register another victory in
| November. Chairman Woods. of the
after the Creston meeting submitted to
| Creston Advertiser-Gazette, in which
! he is quoted as saying:
"I was much pleased with the sptr-
tendance at the Eighth district confer
! ence. While there was no disposition
to ignore differences which have ex-
| listed in the ranks during the past few
months of strenuous contest, there was
manifested a most earnest and graft
flying disposition to get together on
the broad principles of republicanism
and to give hearty support and allegi-
j q
by the party And this disposition
seemed to be shared by all, no matter
TO which side they had belonged in
the past. Those who We're formerly
styled standpatters showed themselves
| anxious to do whatever is in their
| power to secure the complete success
of the whole republican ticket in the
| state. district and county. Those VINO
were opposed to them before the con-
| yention are imbued with the same
spirit, and all republicans | have met
in this part of the state seem to ne
more than ready to cooperate IN the
work of rolling up the usual inaJoritles
all along the line. I may add paren-
! thetically that at state committee
Headquarters we have cut out tao
words progressive and 5tandpat as
| appiied to republicans. 1t seems to me
| that if the nank and file Of the party in
tie Eighth district is as loyal as the
leaders, whom have met, and nave
strong reasons to believe they VII be,
| there will be the usual republican ma

1t seems to have been demonstrated
in more than one place in the state
that the way to handle the mischief
makers who would render assistance
to the democrats this year in Iowa is
to ignore them entirely. In the First
district for instance two or three who
by their actions have got into disre-
pute in the republican party got to-
gether Just before the congressional
convention and drew up a demand that
