Des Moines, April t27.-When Vice
President Fairbanks reached Des
Moines this afternoon to attend the
Grant club banquet he was among
friends. Republicans here are not di-
vided into hostile camps nor have they
knives ill-concealed beneath their coats.
They recall that the distinguished vice
president gave very Material assistance
in the campaign of last year in Iowa
when the most desperate effort ever
known was made to put the republican
party out of power. Vice President
Fairbanks opened the campaign at Wa
terloo, where he declared that "the
party in power should be upheld unless
it has been false TO it's high trust.
and he indicated that in the nation and
in Iowa there had been no such be-
trayal of trust 1t is recalled also that
he said Iowa was to be congratulated
for many things which distinguish her
as a progressive commonwealth" and
for cher high minded citizenship and
for the number and worth of her
statesmen" Immediately following this
he said:
Her distinguished governor, Albert
B. Cummins, is clean, high minded,
patriotic American; who believes that
public office is public trust which
should be administered with fidelity"
He also complimented Iowa's sena-
tors and congressman and cabinet
members, and turning more to the
discussion of the principles and work
of the party which should be sustained
in nation and state, he said:
I'VE shall make our greatest pro-
gress in the future by holding fast to
those measures and upholding that ad-
ministration which have, the fullest
sanction of the best experience. 1t is
important that policies and administra-
tions which have demonstrated their
efficiency should not be lightly over
thrown, and new and untried policies,
or policies which have been tried and
found wanting, substituted for them.
There is nothing so disturbing to bus
mess, so hurtful to progress as uncer-
tainty and shifting policies"
There is no doubt that altho 1t was
not presidential year the vice presi-
dent referred as well to the national
administration as to the state admins
tration, and thus he put himself at that
time suuarely in line with the Roosevelt
policies.
Insofar as the vice president gives
expression to political opinions in his
Iowa speeches today it is anticipated
that he will not deviate greatly from
what he said less than seven months
ago in Iowa. A great many republicans
from outside of the city are here to
attend the banquet, indicating more
than usual interest in the event.
