Des Moines, July 3.--Secretary Will
liam H. Taft, republican nominee fol-
president of the United States. will In
all probability speak in Des Moines
at the Iowa state fair during the week
August 20 to 90. Secretary Taft has
made such a date for the Nebraska
state fair and he recently announced
that he would keep that date. Cover
nor Cummins has taken the matter UP
with Mr.. Taft, on behalf Of the state
board of agriculture, OF which the
governor is a director and has prac-
tically been assured by Mr.. Taft that
he will speak in Des Moines at the
Iowa state fair.
Mr.. Taft has been unable to say with
positiveness because of some other at
fairs but has practically assured the
governor that he will speak here, and
it is believed by the board that Mr..
Taft will come. Arrangements are be-
ing made to make 1t one of the big
gest days and one of the most impor-
tant features Of the state fair.
Some time ago the board took up
the matter of arranging for addresses
by leading politicians because of this
being presidential year. 1t is not known
on what theme Mr.. Taft will speak,
but it is assumed that he will talk on
public affairs 1t is possible that ii
the Denver convention dominates Bry-
an that he may also be induced to at
tend the fair for a. day and address
the people.
1t is understood that an effort is to
be made to induce LATE Young to pay
back to the state treasury the money
which the supreme court says was H.
legally collected while LATE was state
binder. The supreme court reversed
the case in favor of the state and in
its opinion seemed to make it very,
plain that the money should be paid
back. The particular reason why the
money should be paid back now Is the
fact that there Is 9. campaign about to
open. Late claims to be republican
and it Is claimed that it will be EN-
barrassing to the republicans to have
the democrats continually goading him
about that money, which amounts to
several thousand dollars. The case is
now pending for another trial in the
district court here.
