Sruishe.l career Of promises fulfilled and
expectations realized.

dorsing the candidacy of Hon. War

has exerted a potent influence for good
in all the beneficent legislation that
has been placed upon our statute BOOKS
by the general assemblies of which ne
has been a member, and we are con-
fident that as governor of Iowa his
administration would be splendid
continuation Of the work which I'M
der Cummins in Iowa, and Roosevelt
in washington is entrenching the re-
publican party IN the good will and
esteem Of the people of this country
more firmly than it has been en-
trenched since the days of Abraham
