the issues of the day. Mr.. Dolliv
said:
Y have felt that ought to be a
candidate for reelection because
my work in the senate is unfinished
and because value the opportun-
ity to be of some use to the people
of Iowa who have honored and
trusted me for SO, many years.

work Of the present congress.
democrats and republicans have
fought side by side for the enact
ment of those great amendments
to the great interstate commerce
law which have brought the rail-
Z ways of the country under the con-
troll of the government of the I'm
tied States. In all these things 1
have felt it my duty to stand for
our people and for those CONNER
cial and industrial enterprises in
which they are engaged. ! knew
in advance that the enmity and
wrath of the mighty combinations
of wealth which arrayed them-
selves against the policies Of Pres
ident Roosevelt could not be escap-
ed. I knew that all those who were
associated in the effort to reform
railway abuses would be involved
in political difficulties, but I felt
sure that the people of Iowa would
take care of me. Thousands of let
tiers from the home folks encour-
aged me In my labors and thanked
me for what had been accom-
plished. They said that was
fighting a good fight and that when
the time came, when my political
fortunes were exposed to peril, they
would not allow party c0nsidera-
tons to prevent them from coming
to my defence. My fellow citizens,
the time when / need that help
has come. II make my appeal to,
the townships of Iowa, and ask the
people to stand between me and
the danger of being defeated for the
office to which was commissioned
by them because have refused to,
count the cost Of devotion and zeal
in their service. The only way the
people in Boone county can help
me in this situation, the only way
the people in any county in Iowa
can help me, is by supporting the
republican candidate for the legis-
lature. If the legislature in Iowa
is not republican, it defeats me for
the senate. If that were all, | could
look forward to it with equanimity
and. from the merely personal
standpoint, not without a certain
satisfaction; but it means more
than that. It means that hereafter
whoever takes up the peoples fight
will enter upon it with the distinct
understanding that those for whom
he labors are unable to protect
him. 1t means that in the coming
struggle for the control by the peo-
pies government of the overgrown
machinery Of American business.
the men who will obey the will OF
Z the people have only a precarious
constituency, feeble and uncertain
in its motives and purposes; while
those who serve other masters can
count on a vigilant and intelligent
guardianship of the interests which
are always at stake in our politics.
There is no question that when the
people of Iowa understand this sit
uation, they are not only willing
but able to take care of it; and it is
part of my mission here to aid
them in understanding it."
