Des Moines, Nov. 6.-When Senator
A. B. Cummins delivers his address be-
fore the Marquette Club in Chicago to-
night he will not march up and down
the stage asking of the tariff What
the D. are YOU going to do about
it?' as did Speaker Cannon when he
spoke in Knoxville, Iowa. Instead he
will deliver one of the most mastery
addresses he has ever given and it
viii be an address that is full of fac is
and logical conclusions that are sure
10 attract the attention of the entire
country. 1t is quite likely that the ad-
dress will be given wider reading than
his addresses during the special session
Of congress for the public has more
time now. Furthermore the country
has heard from Taft. from Cannon and
from .Aldeicll and the public mind is
prepared for Cummins' address to-
night.
Since his return to Dies MONIES Sena-
-or Cumnins Office rooms in the Elem
ing building have been crowded With
callers even more than We're his Offices
while he was governor. Many called
upon him just before he left last night
for Chicago. 1t is learned that his adj
dress is filled with Very carefully pre-
pared figures and it IS learned further
more that Senator Cummins will make
the direct charge that with the excep-
ton OF a dozen of the thousand of ar
ticles considered in making the tariff
law there was no attempt whatever to
ascertain the difference of cost of pro-
ducIion a. home and abroad in order to
fix the rate on accordance with the
platform and that in the case of those
where the difference of cost was known
ii was either openly repudiated or 81
lenriy ignored.
Cunlrnins' address is characteristic Of
his past addresses in its composition and
is one that will command the attention
Of the entire country. 1t is logical and
on the part that deals with the tariff
it gives figures that are conclusive. He
will not attempt TO read any one out of
the party but indicates in no uncertain
terms that the few people who are now
engaged in revising the republican
roster come no nearer being the repub-
lican party than did the three tailors Of
England who met in convention and re-
solved: I'VE the people OF England, -
constitute the British nation
1 The public generally has been watt
ing with interest TO hear from Cum
Minis and they will get tonight not
/ "Riilingsgate" but logic.
Gov. B. F. Carroll has returned
from his down the Mississippi voyage
with President Taft and the party OF
governors who attended the deep
waterways convention al New Orleans
Governor Carroll was delayed in re-
turning 10 Des Moines by reason of a

says he does not know He was IN
4 formed, however. by Secretary D w.
Reed. who has charge of Shiloh PARK,
that it will cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
