Criticises the Governor.
At the close of the service of the
Lords supper in the conference yes
terday morning, recess was taken I'M
till 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon when
the temperance address of the day
was delivered by Rev. E. T. Hager-
man, D. D., of Des Moines. In the
course of his remarks, the speaker
took to task Governor Cummins for
his attitude on certain liquor cases,
emphasizing the Davenport trouble of
last summer, saying, "The Davenport
riot could have been avoided by the
governor if he tried to avoid it," Con-
tinuing on the governors policy in
the liquor questions that have come
up at times, he said: "The senti-
ment of the state is Christian and
temperance and there is no need for a
governor to say that he will do GER
tain things if he finds the public
needs them done
i do not believe in soaring away
the game by shouting too loud, but !
do think that we should know who
our friends are and who to support
for positions of trust and power in the
state. 1t is not sufficient that a can
didate will state what he will do or
what he favors in legislation, rather
we should know II they are our
friends and will do those things that
should be done.
There is to be large gathering
Of those interested in temperance al
Des Moines, perhaps sometime in No
vember, at which will gather large
number Of those throughout the state
who are workers in the cause. This
meeting will prove to be a school OF
education along temperance lines and
ask this conference to appoint q
voting delegate to attend that gather
ing and take part in it. There is
now nine states in the Prohibition col
umn and I wish to see Iowa one OF
the Lext states to join in and go or
record for those principles"
