| believe | am safe in saying that
took as much pains and tried as hard
to learn what the employees of the rail
road of my district wanted as did my
opponent. | wrote many letters to EN-
ployes asking them to write me in con-
fidence as to what they wanted, as
surfing them that | would do what
ever they believed to be necessary to
protect their interests. Not only. did
write to employees, but | wrote to
other reliable and disinterested per-
sons to ascertain for me what the men
really wanted. More than that, | left
my seat in the senate and went home
to my district, which had small di-
vision point in it, to interview en-
ployes and learn for myself what they
wished me to do, and | voted in har-
mony with what seemed TO be their
desire. The statement that | was one
of the leaders in the fight is false, as
am not member of the railway COM
mittee and took but little part in the
matter except to try to do what my
Judgment led me to believe | ought to

was Senator Berry, man for whom |
have the highest regard, but who has
escaped the vallitication of the men
who would rob man of his good
name in order TO get votes because
he Is now active in the cause which
they espouse.
The unfortunate division between
the members of the two houses
caused failure to agree upon any
change in the law until the next ses-
sion of the legislature in 1898, when
supported and voted for the present
statute.
ALI the time that was member of
the legislature | was chairman Of the
committee on mines and mining and a
member Of the committee on labor
and so far as am aware there was
never a criticism or objection to my
attitude upon any question pertaining
to the work of either of these commit
tees, which have perhaps more to do
with the labor interests of the state
than any other committees of the leg
islature The entire law of the state
pertaining to the welfare of the labor
ing men of the state was up for con-
sideration by the extra session of the
Twenty-sixth General Assembly, and
my attitude toward their interests has
never been criticised so far as I am
aware.
You may assure your friend who
gave you the circular and those with
whom he is associated that enter
tain nothing hut the most kindly feel

lieve to be for the best interests Of
the cause they represent, and while
the men who are so diligently circulat-

may injure my standing with those
whose sympathies they are trying to
play upon, they cannot rob me of that
sincere desire that have always had
to see the labor interests of our state

Carroll Makes Statement

Hon. B. F. Carroll states that he did
not vote against the Temple amend
ment, but that Garst and his friends
withdrew 1t. He makes the statement
IN a letter to John w Daley of Cher
rokee, which is as follows:
Des Moines, Ia, May %, 1908
Mr.. John w. Daley,
Is Cherokee, Iowa.
My Dear Mr.. Daley: In reply to
yours Of recent date containing the
circular sent out by Mr.. Garst or his
friends as to the Temple Amendment,
permit me to say that it is manifestly
unfair, as 1t neither recites the facts
as to the law nor does it deal fairly
with my attitude upon the question.
It begins by saying: 1.-The so-called
Temple Amendment which is now the
law Of Iowa" The Temple, Amend
ment Is not the law Of this state nor
was 1t ever voted upon in the senate,
consequently l did not vote against it..
Senators Hobart and Garst from the
committee on railways, made minor
dty report (see page $50 Senate Jour
nal Of 1870, recommending the Tenn
pie Amendment for passage after in
sorting one word, but when the matter
came up for consideration they with
drew that amendment (see page 791
Senate Journal 1870, and offered a
substitute. The majority of the COM
mittee had also recommended substi-
tute Each Of them embodied the main
features of the Temple Amendment
and sought to remove the objecuou-
able features If the Temple Amend
ment was so sacred that no one
could modify or change it without
being classed as hostile to the rail
way employees, then the real enemies
must have been Mr.. Garst and his
friends, who, by withdrawing the
Amendment, made it impossible for
anyone in the senate to vote for or
against 1t. The majority report (see
page $40 Senate Journal of 1890 was
written by and bore the name of Sena-
tor Berry, who is now stumping the
state for Governor Cummins and who
is classed among those who were de-
feated for reelection by the influence
Of the G. B. & O., railroad. 1t must,
therefore, be true that the railroad
was not favorable to the Berry sub
stitute and it is a fact that cannot
be denied that the railroad was OPP
posed to both the minority substitute
and the Berry substitute; I voted for
the Berry substitute in preference to
the minority substitute, which is now
the law Of this state, and | claimed
then and do now to be as good a
friend to the employees of the railroads
and as free from railroad domination
as Mr.. Garst or any other man who
sat In that General Assembly. The
Berry substitute permitted the en-
ploye in case Of injury, or his widow,
heirs or legal representative In case
of death of the employee to sue the
railroad company for damages even
though the full amount of the claim
under tn policy of insuranc had been
paid. and gave thirty days time in
which to decide whether he wanted
to bring suit for damages or not.

PEOPLES PULPIT
REEcE ANSWERS AseURY.
oh, William, William, William.

oh, William, William, William.
Mr.. William Henry Harrison Asbury
in an article recently published in
the Courier took exception, to my
statement announcing to the Republi-
cans of this district that l had the
privilege of voting for man for
United States senator who had done
more to wreck the Republican party
than any other. I did not name the
man in that communication, but Will
liam says I meant A. B. Cummins. In
fact several other people say that Mr..
Cummins has that distinction, and l
confess that think so too; hence did
not deem it necessary to name him.
That Harmony Club.
Mr., Asbury also asks if I am the
same William Reece that organized a
harmony club last spring in Wapello
county. Yes, I did all could for
that organization; in fact signed an
agreement to support the nominees OF
the Republican party, as may be de-
termined by the votes of the RepubH-
cans in the June primary ! also tried
TO get Mr.. Asbury to do the same, but
refused. Why? Each and every
tis of us who joined that club re-
served the right to work for the candi-
dates of our choice for the primary
election. and at the same time agreed
to support the nominees at the Novem-
Der election. This was the basis Of
that harmony club, and l propose TO
be governed by it.
If the basis or foundation of that
organization had been to the effect
that all of its members were to be-
come reconciled to the bogus leader
ship Of Governor Cummins, my infer
ance that he had done more to wreck
the Republican party than any other
man, would have been violation Of
my agreement, but that was not the
basis; besides If 1t had been, Mr.. AS
bury himself would have joined when
+ extended the invitation, that being
his idea of harmony.
now desire to make few remarks
concerning the man who has been the
party ever had in the state of Iowa,
and you will at once say that means

Says Republican Policy Robs the

as published in the Register and
Leader the next day, this man who s
the most valuable asset of the Demo
cratic party, said: cali the roo-
berries and thefts of all the insurance
companies, since insurance began,
would not equal the extortion of the
Dingley act Tor a single year" At the
same time he professed to be a Re-
publican, and yet the most diligent
search of Democrat platforms that
have been written since the Dingley
act passed does not reroal state
ment SO radical or a paragraph so
barren of truth in regard to that act
John Sharp '.''p,ns and Champ
Clark, both redars and both
Democratic leaders in the house of
representatives at once committed
that statement to memory, and when

attempted to make speech In sup
port of Republican principles, one or
both of them would quote that Ian
guage to show what they understood
to be the views of progressive Repub-
licans in Iowa. Anything that has a
tendency to malign or destroy the pro-
tective policy is considered progress
sive amongst free traders: hence they
called 1t progressive. We had some
of that kind of progress from 1893 to
1897, and the man who wants a return
Of 1t must have an awful spite at
himself and the country.
Cunmlns Spurns Harmony.
This same man has spurned every
proposition made by representative
men in the Republican party to have
harmony and If he had been employed
by the Democratic leaders as an at
torney for Democratic county candi-
dates and Office seekers, taking upon
himself the contract of supplying them
with an office, and accepting s100 from
each they would be indebted to him,
that is If the debt has not already
been paid in some such way at least,
$4,000, sum equal to the salary for
United States senator for six years
or one term. The question now arises
what party should this man appeal to
in case he desires further politi-
cal honors? l will leave you to an
swer with your own vote.
cummins Against Two Cent Fare.
The absurd claim that Governor
Cummins secured the two cent fare
over the railroads Of this state is too
ridiculous to command the attention
of thoughtful men and especially those
who know that Nebraska and other
adjoining states had accomplished the
same thing before Iowa did.
Besides the Republican state CON
vention of 1887 declared in favor of
reducing fares over all first-class rail-
roads to two cents mile. Mr.. Cum
Minis became candidate for the leg
islature that year, but was not on that
platform. He was elected, and house
file No. "a, to carry out the platform
pledge and to reduce the fare to two
cents mile was introduced in the
twenty-second general assembly, and
when it was finally voted on in the
house Mr.. Cummins voted against it,
as will be seen on page s64 of the
house journal.
Cumnnins as Trust Buster.
Mr.. Cummins' position on the trust
question is likewise disclosed by his
record in the house of representatives
of the Twenty-second general assem-
bly,.
The first antitrust measure ever
acted upon by the general assembly
of Iowa and which is now the law,
and the best lawyers say that a
stronger law is not to be found upon
the statute books of any state. Mr..
Cummins opposed that law at every
stage and on its final passage voted
against 1t as shown on page 1903 of
the House Journal Twenty-second gen
eral assembly.
Has He Seen New Light.
But you say this was long time
ago when he voted against law for
the suppression of trusts. That is
true, but if this modern Saul of Tar
sus has really seen a new light, IS
many claim that he has, why does he
not enforce the law that he voted
against? He talks himself hoarse
about the Standard Oil trust when he
knows that the meat trust in our own
town and state and in the town In
which he lives, EFFORTS more from the

Now Just word to the old men and
especially the old soldiers-this seems
to be an attempt to put the old men
on the shelf. to get them out of the
way. i his "old age' talk Is simply
the crly thing that can be brought
up against Senator Allison. l., 1t
against man that he gets old?
All this two cent fare talk is simply
tommy rot-it is a bait thrown out to
catch the laboring man. Some of the
progressives have an idea that be-
cause man works for a living, he
does not study out these questions
himself. Wouldn't it be better for
Governor Cummins to put in his time
trying to get the price of meat low
cred than it would worrying about
whether 1t cost 20 cents or 80 cents
to ride ten miles Which would be RI
the most benefit to the common peo-
pie they talk so much about? l want
to say to the men of this state, don't
let him fool you by trying to cover
up what he ought to do, by telling
about something that really does you
no good.
Senator Allison has done his part
and has been big factor in the forces
that have made the United States the
grandest and the greatest nation in
the world. Ever since he has been
in the senate of the United States he
has been one of the main stays in
rolling the wheels of progress and in
helping to build the greatest govern
ment that the sun ever shone on. The
reason that he ought to be sent to tbs
United States senate is because he is
the best man in the world for that
place. I do not believe the people Of
Iowa want anyone to take Senator AL
lison's place, and do not believe that
anyone will. yet for some time to
come. t. G. Garfield.
