day as the Henry Burr Of republicanism in |
Iowa today. What differences there are
should be settled in the council chamber Of
republicanism and not by giving aid and
comfort 70 the enemy at the ballot box.
Ovation 60 Cummlns.
Mr.. Cummlns was given a tremendous
ovation on rising to speak. In opening he
said Il think as please and say just what
think. It IL a habit OF mine 20 look both men
and situations squarely in the eyes. This
course I have pursued through this cam
paign and / will not depart from Il this
evening The preliminary contest which re
suited in my nomination was earnest--yes.
more than earnest. It was a hard-fought
battle. There was a great deal Of feeling
in it. and. unfortunately. some acrimony
Many republicans were sorely disappointed
in the outcome of the convention. for their
preferences were pronounced and. to say
the least, most emphatioally expressed. To
such republicans my only message Is that
although 7 was not their choice for gov
einor was nominated by a republican con-
vention, after a fair fight and an entitled
TO their support If they believe that repub-
| ican supremacy In the nation and the state
win promote the welfare of the country"
Corporations In Politics.
Regarding the harmful influence Of cor
poratlons in politics, he said. in part
"The most important subject to whloh
! the government must give its attention, is
/ the control and restriction Of the great cor
| poratons. of which there are two classes,
/ the Industrial and the transportation. The
| individuals who compose corporations have
/ precisely the saline rights that AL citizens
/ have in public AFFAIRS and they should be
/
l freedom and independence as any other cit
izen, but corporations as such should be
4 vigorously excluded from politics as such
associated influence is a most harmful in
huence. Corporations are necessary to the
| business OF the country and are the result
Of the vast business Of the country. L
care not how large they may become. they
are to be protected, defended, but must bc
| regulated and controlled by the law, SO
that they be not permitted to make the
elaws or administer them. They cannot be
permitted to run the affairs of the United
States and they cannot so long as Thoo-
dore Roosevelt is president" The mention
Of President Rcosevelt's name was greeted
with prolonged applause
Governor Cummins before concluding
seized the opportunity TO pay an eloquent
tribute TO Congressman Smith, Senator
Dolliver and the Iowa delegation in con-
gress.
Following Governor Cummins Hon. H.
". Byers Of Harlan, candidate for attor-
ney general, made an address in which he
seviewed the situation in Iowa and made a
strong plea for harmony and for repubi-
cans TO stand by the entire ticket
Social Side OF Visit.
Governor Cummins arrived in the citv
shortly before { o'clock from Mitchell S.
ID. on reaching the hotel the first person
to greet him was General Dodge. After
short talk with the general, Governor
Cummins retired TO his room to secure
some rest, as he was somewhat fatigued
from his journey. Before the meeting Mr..
Cummins was rendered an Informal recep-
tion in the rotunda of the hotel music
being furnished by an orchestra Headed
by the band the governor was escorted by
number of old soldiers and others TO the
opera house. where an audience which filled
the lower floor and balcony, was awaiting
him.
Mr. Byers reached the city during the
afternoon, contrary to expectations. as he
had not been looked for until late In the
evening. The announcement that he was IA
speak yesterday afternoon at wiots prived
to be incorrect.
After the meeting Governor Cummins and
Mr.. Byers were guests of honor at a
J supper served at the Grand hotel Among
