Kendall Talks.
After the general arrangement
committee had retired, the assemblage
had the pleasure of listening to
few words from Mr.. Kendall. Rising
to his feet. the genial candidate for
congress was greeted with hearty
applause. 81 have been over the
district settling with old settlers,
lodging with lodge people, soldering
with old soldiers and picnicking with
various picnickers, Mr.. Kendall be-
gan, "and the message I hear every
where is that the Republican lines
are formed again and the district has
solicited for Taft OF the national
ticket Carroll on the state ticket,
and from sheriff down on the county
ticket. There has never been a tina
when the success of the entire ma
tional state, district and county
tickets was so essential. The abso-
lutte futility of Democratic doctrines
and Democracy's power to work out
success, gives Republicans an I'M.
petus to unite and it Is duty and
should be a pleasure to become a
unite at the polls this fall on that
man whom Theodore Roosevelt
stamps as the fittest man in America
to rule.
Taft's Record.
Tried in the twelve years as a
circuit judge w. H. Taft made an
exemplary record as an impartial
Judicial officer absolutely fair and
exercising excellent Judgment as
jurist. Transferred to the Philippines,
he was remarkable success, which
gained him a seat as a cabinet
officer, and as such he has won an
unimpeachable and successful record.
He will make great president and
will receive the support of all Repub-
licans.
No man deserves greater favorable
consideration than B. F. Carroll.
Starting as poor boy, he went to a
country school and by perseverance,
and application to work broke into
the legislature and then was elevated
to state office. His SUI port should
be strong all over the state. Your
county ticket is entitled to the united
support Of all; and l believe the
Republicans of Wapello are deter
mined to roll up larger majority
than ever before and have in your
magnificent court building house
nothing but Republicans. Redeem
this county from Democratic rule
Il think the one Issue Of the ma
tional campaign is whether we are to
give protection to American labor or
to have tariff for revenue only Mr..
Bryan will have numerous theories be-
fore the campaign is very old, but
none of these will work out any pro-
lection for labor.
Challenges Hamilton.
'This has not been given to the
public yet, but I have challenged the
Democratic candidate for congress to
a series of debates He has been gum
shoeing the district railing against
the trust here, and the tariff there
and the present lack of prosperity.
will invite this gentlemen to show
me where in the two years that he
has served that he has ever intro
duced bill Or favored any measure
that would relieve country and the
sixth district from the evils he sees. |
Republicans should line up and |
work for the success of the entire |
ticket. There are enough Republicans
to make one successful party, but
there are not enough Republicans to
make two successful parties, so we |
must work together. I do not think a
Republican has his Republicanism on |
very straight if he votes for Bryan |
The national, state and county ticket |
this fall will test our true Republican
issue and 1t looks to me like the par
ty will uphold the principles of Taft
and Roosevelt, which can and will |
bring contentment to American |
homes"
May Secure Big Speakers.
Visits to Iowa by Governor Hughes
dnQ senator BOran are among the |
possibilities, and Chairman Nimocks |
this morning got in touch with the |
state committee to secure one Of the |
speakers for this city. 1t Is practically |
assured that Governor Hughes will
come to Iowa and is scheduled to
speak In the First and possibly the
Sixth district. Senator Beveridge may |
come in October for series Of six adj |
dresses, and inasmuch as he has Wis |
tied the northern portion of the state,
It is likely that he will speak in the
southern districts.
