Des Moines, Oct Ex-Governor Cum
Minis spoke in Duluth last night by re-
quest of the republican national COM
mittee but it is not his intention to
go outside the state again. He is dated
for Fort Dodge tonight but it is not
likely he can get back in time for the
meeting. He is to speak in eastern
and northern Iowa a part of the time.
The state committee has been dating
him in southern Iowa because it is
there that need is felt of sound repub-
lican doctrine to bring the entire party
into line He is dated for Lorimer.
Bedford and Charlton, and there is
very great desire for him in Page
county and the southwest Last week
he spoke at Centerville, Ottumwa.
Hiteman, Moulton and other places and
his tour involved two long automobile
trips across the country. The Center
vile and Ottumwa meetings We're
splendid ones. The Centerville Citizen
said that the meeting, which was adj
dressed also by Hepburn was "the
greatest republican meeting in Appan
oose county since the campaign of
1900," and that it demonstrated "the
growing popularity of 1owa's governor,
A. 3. Cummins." The same paper said
thar "the governor then gave an ad
dress of an hour and a half which was
as soundly republican as ever heard
in the state"
All reports which come to Des
of the campaign in June have been
buried and that with their passing
there is an entirely different attitude
toward the governor of the state.
The publication of the resolution
adopted by the laboring men of the
state in which they approve Of Gov
ernor Cummins and wish to have the
people indorse his work in the state
by voting him into the United States
senate is having marked effect in call
ing attention to the record of recent
years in Iowa legislation affecting the
rights of the common people. While
it is known that the laboring men
have always been strong supporters
of the governor it is now stated that
they will be practically unanimous for
him this year.
This week the last of the big political
supplements arranged for bN the re-
publican national committee will be
used in the weekly press of the state.
A question has been raised here as to
whether they can use two in one week,
as some are urged to also use the
Lacey supplement at the same time.
There will be no supplements or gen.
eral literature issued in behalf of Gov
ernor Cummins, but the understanding
which was reached some time ago will
be religiously observed, that of putting
it up to the voters without attempt to
influence them.
The state of Iowa. is engaged in coll
lecting the taxes due from counties
much more promptly than formerly. A
few years ago legislative committee
examined the states books and found
that many counties were delinquent in
settling with the state and that some
counties We're back several years. 1t
was found almost Impossible for the
state to get the money due from some
counties. According the last legislature,
the reform legislature, passed d bill to
compel the counties to pay penalties
on deferred payments the same as in
dividuals are penalized. The result is
that new remittances are prompt and
practically there are no counties be-
hind in payments.
The movement which was started
citation and anti-saloon league with
view to bringing to a vote Of the peo-
pie the saloon question in large cities,
may have far-reaching effect. A great
district meeting of anti-saloon leagues
is to be held here in November with
eight states represented. Ii the plan is
approved it will extend in all drec-
tions. Under the commission plan of
city government it is possible to have
the voters direct the council not to
grant saloon permits, and when this is
put I'D to the voters it is believed they.
will decide against saloons in most of
the cities. The men back of the move
ment are confident they can in this
way greatly reduce the number of sa-
looms in the cities of the country.

B. D. Stevenson. we'll known news
paper man. will leave in a few days
for southern Texas, where he owns a
farm, upon which he will live. He be-
came interested in southern land thru
a brother who is located in a town
about thirty miles from Brownsville.
One reason for making the move is
that Mr.. Stevenson's health has not
been good and he desires to get away
from a rigorous Iowa winter climate.
He has been in the correspondence
work for several years and no newspa-
per man of the city or state stands
higher in the esteem of all who know
Of him and his conscientious work
