HIS COLLEAGUE
JUNIOR SENATOR TELLS IOWA
REPUBLICANS WHY ALLISON
SHOULD BE CHOICE.

Des Moines, April 20. - Senator
Dolliver told 5000 Iowa republicans
last night why his colleague, Senator
Allison, should be returned to the
United States senate. The meeting
was one Of great enthusiasm. The at
tendance comprised republican lead
ers from nearly every county in the
state.
Fully 500 leading republicans were
present from outside the city and ev-
eryone was enthusiastic over the
prospects of Allison's success. No mat
ter from what part of the state he
came, he told the same story of grow
ing enthusiasm for the senior senator
and predictions of his victory at the
primaries by 25,0O0 to $4,000 majority
over Cummins were freely made.
Senator Dolliver was greatly i'm.
pressed by the statements and said he
felt that If this gathering was fair
showing of the feeling among republi-
cans in the various localities repres-
ented there could be no question but
that Allison's success was assured.
Read Expressions of Senators.
Before the address the Polk County
Allison Club was organized. The aud.
fence then read expressions of various
United States senators favorable to
the reelection of Senator Allison,
which were thrown on a screen by
stereopticon, and each complimentary
statement was greeted with applause.
Former Governor jackson, president
of the newly formed Polk County AL
lison club, presided, and introduced
Senator Dolliver, who was received
with loud applause.
The keynote of his address was In
one sentence. Referring to Senator
Allison, he said:
"Never in all his long career has he
been fomenter of strife or the bene.
fciary of divided party counsels."
This statement called forth ap.
plause. He referred to the factional
strife which has rent the party in
Iowa and said:
''In the midst of all this strife we
have one man too great and too wise
to descend into our petty squabbles
one man whose influence has been
used to compose our diff culties and
to promote the success Of our candi
dates"
Continuing Senator Dolliver said:
From this man, now busy with the
great affairs Of the government at oul
capitol, ! bring this message to the
republicans of Iowa; he seeks the
good will of all; he asks the support
of all. From the least to the greatest
among us there is place in the kind
ly heart of our old leader for every
Iowa republican. When he hears o
men standing up before the people
