Des Moines, Oct. 25.-Five hundred
republican speeches in support of the
| republican party; five hundred meet
ings where earnest and aggressive
Iowa voters will shout in support OF
the principles and purposes which
nave made President Roosevelt strong
in the nation and have given Govern
or Cummins popularity in the state;
hve hundred occasions for expression
of patriotism, not gatherings for per-
sonal abuse and attacks, but for dis
cussion of issues and principles-such
is the program for the closing week of
the campaign in Iowa.
The republican state committee. a.
body composed of eleven good and
true republicans, some representing
one faction and some another. but
every one true republican, has been
bending every possible energy to make
the campaign one which leaves no voter
in doubt as to the issues which are
joined and what is best for the con-
tinued prosperity of the state of Iowa.
rms committee having such members
as Epps, Cowies ana Wright, the of
hclal servant of the republican party,
facetiously called the "Cummins party
machine" by the Jealous corporation
hirelinss, is spreading all over Iowa
the gospel of republicanism by means
of cnph ora
Beverdge, Shaw, Deneen, Crawford.
Wilson. Brown, Taft, Byers, Carroll,
Palmer, Eaton, Garst, Dolliver and
others of equal note. But in addi-
tion to this the local and county re-
publican committees are sending out
nany speakers. In some counties as
many as a dozen speakers are on their
iists. Mr.. Converse, of the speak
ers' bureau, estimates 500 speeches
the last week OF the campaign.
C-!inmins in Demand.
Governor Cummins has been in
greater demand than ever before for
speeches. There is hardly a county
in the state that has not almost de-
manded him for one meeting. They
all say that wherever the governor
goes he makes votes for the republi-
can ticket. In the few days that yet
remain the governor will appear in
some of the best cities Of the state.
and in some places where his enemies
would like very much to make it ap-
pear that he is decidedly in disfavor.
He will speak in Council Bluffs, where
some persons appeared very bitter
against him. He will go to Burling-
IL; ;aL,f t.,
ital of the oppo ition country. He
will go to Iowa City where corpora
ton influences are said to be very
strong, and where an effort has been
made to completely disrupt the re-
publican party. He will respond to /
the very general desire of the rank |
and file OF the party in northwestern /
Iowa to appear in Onawa and Sioux
City, where the Miller-Marsh-R RICH
ards Hunter combination is making
boasts of sweeping everything into
the democratic hopper. He will speak
in Davenport, which city has been de-
handing him. He will not speak in
Des Moines The situation here is
such that no other meetings are deem
I'd necessary, tho either the governor
~ any other good speaker would have /
! fine meeting.
Attack of Corporations.
desperate effort is being made by
he demo- corpora ton managers to lead
he people to the belief that in some
way Governor Cummins is playing the
traitor and that he is not supporting
.he<whole republican ticket. No baser
libel could be made upon the gover-
1or In every speech and in private
md everywhere he has urged the elec-
ion of the entire ticket. The keokuk
Gate City, which only reluctantly says
Lnything good of the governor, said
the other day:
"All who heard Governor Cummins
It Washington, Iowa, the other day,
re warm in their praise of his speech
here Every voter present agreed tina.
was a genuine republican speech ana
n all respects an admirable utterance
n the line of campaign oratory. The
ddress proper was prefaced by an
arnest appeal to the republican voters
f Washington county, and the entire ,
7irst district to give Mr.. Kennedy. the
epubfcan congressional nominee,
heir united and hearty support He
hey must scratch anybody at the polls, {
0 scratch their candidate for COVER
or (hmself )and vote for Mr.. Ken
edy as a means of making sure of a
apublican house. The governor made
lany friends by his Washington 1
