Des Mcines. Nov. 10 Special: The
Republican victory in Iowa is COM
plete as to the state ticket, the plur-
ality being over 20, 600 and all candi-
dates successful. Ten Republicans
were elected to congress. the Sixth
district alone going wrong; and the
republican majority will be about 90
on joint ballot in the legislature.
The Republican State Central COM
mittee closed headquarters this week.
Before returning to his home Chair
man Frank P. Woods said:
con my own behalf and for the
Republican State Central committee l
desire to express my sincere thanks to
those loyal and true voters of Iowa
who have sustained the Republican
party with their ballots. and by their
earnest endeavcrs have achieved this
significant victory for the people.
They are entitled to congratulations.
Our splendid state and the great and
expanding Nation are better because
of their steadfastness of purpose in
party service and their devotion to
right principles.
.'The committee entered upon it's
work fully aware of the great hopes
and greater resources of the opposi-
ton. The national congressional
committee had warned Republicans of
the danger in the traditional year of
reaction from abnormal Republican
majorities. The enemy was encour-
aged here as elsewhere to redoubled
efforts to the end that advantage
might be had in the preliminaries for
the next national campaign; and their
managers had hope, not without some
reason. that sufficient number of
Republicans would refuse to abide by
their convention to give the democrats
a victory. Therefore the committee
had not only to engage an avowed
enemy but to treat with treachery
more or less concealed.
''The usual lines of activity were
neutrality-suspicious.. the speaking
campaign. literature. personal work.
The committee relied on the good
sense and the patriotism of the Iowa
voters. and sought in every legiti-
mate way to give them the simple
truth as to the issues raised and in
formation on which they could rely
as to the character of the campaign.
In this all the members of the
committee co-operated heartily and
everyone did his full share toward
that success which was desired by
every loyal Republican.
AN excellent organization was
effected, with committeeman in every
precinct. and these with the chair
men of the Republican county COM
mittees, with few exceptions. joined
earnestly in the necessary work Of
the campaign in support of our ticket.
The Committee had the assistance
and cooperation of the great body of
GiiC newspapers VI ellC oSotS. anu OuT :
ing the campaign letters of informa-
ton were sent to about 35 daily and
500 weekly newspapers supporting
the Republican candidates. These
newspapers also gave circulation to
more than 100000 copies of supple
ments filled with good Republican
doctrine. The committee feels under
special obligation to the editors who
thus gave their support to the Repub-
lican cause fully and fairly. The
Republicans of Iowa owe to them
much more than they can ever repay.
and hope their services will never
be forgotten.
In this connection l feel that il
is but just to say word personal in
regard to some who have been intim-
ateiy associated with me in the work
of the committee. Mr.. w. L. Con
