Des Moines, Sept. 19.-GoVernor
Cummins was to have delivered the
opening speech of his political cam
paign in Emmetsbure; today, but ne
will not do so, When the Emmetsburs
date was first made it was for FRIDAY
and the governor set out to prepare
himself to meet that date. Then 10 was
changed two days earlier, and the gov
ernor planned to advance his prepara-
lions TO that extent, but at the last mo-
ment found that. with the pressure OF
sta.e business on hand, he could not 90
so. Governor Cummins went to Ems
netseurg today and will speak at tho
fair. hut it will not be the speech winch
he Intends to make use of in the cam
paign. and will be along the same gem
oral lines as the address in Webster
county last week.
Yesterday the VicSsburg monument
commission had practically an all-daS
session with the governor arranglns
for the date of the trip to the southern
battlefields, and the executive councll
had business which demanded his im>
mediate attention. SO the committee
directed that the governor postpone the
formal opening speech until next Mon
day afternoon, when he speaks at
Churdan. To have kept the engagement
hou mo
the .overnor would deliver his speech
with portions but lightly consluered.
Since his return from Colorado he mas
been overwhelmed with state business.
The address of the governor at
Churdan will cover all phases OF the
campaign, and be g complete response
to the attacks of the democratic stand
ard bearer He will discuss the ques-
ton of state advancement, and expen-
ditures and taxation in all its phases,
and ably defend the republican admin
istration Of Iowa affairs In these mat
ters. On the tariff he will make a
complete defense of the Iowa republl-
can platform, and the general attitude
of the party on the tariff. He VIII
show plainly that ne is now, as ne al
ways has been, q protectionist, and
that the platform in Iowa today, fol-
lowing a campaign made on other is
sues. fully meets the requirements OF
the party, leaving scope for Individual
opinion as to how best to perfect ana
preserve the protective system from
the assaults of those who would de-
stroy it all and substitute the revenue
tariff system. The governor VIII
leave no doubt in the mind OF any one
as to where he stands upon the TAR
if. nor will he give anyone cause 1or
further assertion that he has recedea
from any position he has taken In sup
port of protection.
