other was to elect a state committee.

nation. All other nominations were

er. Euclid Saunders and w. o. Payne

81 shall make no speech" said Mr..
Healy, but IL were to l would not
make one offensive to the representa-
tives OF the republican party here. 1t
is for our party to get together to elect
Carroll by $4,000 majority instead of
10000. The report of the committee on
resolutions is in order"
The. audience burst into tremen-
dous demonstration upon this utterance
OF Healy, and cries Of go on! go ont"
were suppressed with difficulty. His
two sentences put the great convention
in the right humor and George c.
SCOTS presentation of the report of the
resolutions committee as unanimous
was greeted with cheers as were the
planks about Allison, Dolliver, Cum
minis and the reform legislation in Iowa
Endorsed by the platform. The Cum
Minis demonstration was the chief one
and cries of Good, good greeted the
Endorsement Of the anti-pass, 2 cent
fare and other laws passed in 1907.
Lewis Miles seconded the motion by
Scott to adopt the report and 1t was
adopted without dissent.
The calls for Cummins were so In
sistent that he appeared while the con-
vention stood and cheered for long
time.
Governor cummins Speaks.
Governor Cummins said that word
personal was not out of place in view
of his relations to the recent primary
He said he was progressive republi-
can among republicans and among par
ties, republican who would give all
his energy for the party and its ticket
He said:
Senator Allison is entitled to two
things-first,, a republican legislature.
There must be no anarchy in the state
of Iowa. Iowa is republican state and
shall give to the campaign the same
zeal and enthusiasm gave to the cam
paign just closed. Senator Allison is
entitled to more. He is not only en-
titled to a republican legislature, but
is entitled to the votes of every republic
can in the assembly and you can reck-
on on my influence for its part in Sc
curing the vote of every republican.
The same thing may be said Of the
state ticket. It's personnel could not
be higher, it is made UP of men Of
the highest integrity and ability and
they are entitled to the votes of every
republican in Iowa and whatever I
can do toward that end will do. Have
no fear respecting Iowa or the nation.
No doubt should be entertained of the
success of Taft and Sherman. The re-
publicans of Iowa are loyal, indepen-.
dent men, but the voice of their con-
vention is the voice of every member
Of the party in the state"
State Auditor Carroll was called for
and was given a warm greeting. He
expressed appreciation for the support
given him and pledged his faithful
service If elected.
