POPULATION OF IOWA
DECREASES 3 PER CENT
Falling Off Due to Tendency
Toward Larger Farms

WASHINGTON. Nov 5.-The popu-
lation of. the state of Iowa is 2,224,771.
according to the enumeration in the
thirteenth census, made public today.
This is a decrease of 1852. or .03 per
cent under 2.231.S53 in 1900. The in
crease from 1890 to 1900 was 319,572,
or 1871 per cent.
The decrease in the population of
Iowa did not surprise census bureau
officials as it was in line with what
was expected in the agricultural re-
gions of the middle west. Director
Durand attributes the falling off to
the fact that the land is already fully
occupied and a general tendency to-
ward larger farms.

Colonel Roosevelt made his first
speech in Ohio at Toledo. after briefly
speaking at several points in Indiana
telling the crowds which gathered at
the stations that Senator Beveridge
should be reelected.
A severe personal attack or Governor
Judson Harmon was made by Roosevelt
in his Toledo speech. which was his
first in the campaign in Ohio. Colonel
Roosevelt reviewed Harmon's connec-

Dayton railroad. of which he was re-

Recommendation before the court
The case was brought up before q
democratic judge. Judge Phillips" Col
onel Roosevelt continued, and in his
opinion from the bench he specifically
and absolutely justified the course OF
the attorney general, stating that there
was no evidence whatever in the case
that in any way implicated Mr.. Nor
aon."
Saying Harmon had sought to dis
lcredit an innocent man, Colonel Roose-
welt took UP the receivership Of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, which
he said, was owned by Wall street, 'ft
being as I am Informed, one Of the
Morgan properties and the Morgan

Big Salary for Harmon
He received salary of $4,000 a
year" Colonel Roosevelt continued. 1T
s5s shown by actual record that while he
was receiver the road under him was
enga ged continuously in paying dam
age claims TO certain parties for the
purpose Of holding business. under cir
cumstances which clearly indicated that
the payment Of such damages served
the same purpose as the payment of
rebates.
1T has been shown that the road was
IN a combination with other roads to
fix rates. such combinations being GER

also against the letter OF the law. The
road did not pay its taxes to the state

Telegram Opens Battery

Colonel ROosevelts address was de-
livered in the Valentine theater. He
began his address by saying that 'in
the democratic press" there had ap-
peared today a telegram addressed to
him. and sent apparently on Governor
FIarmon's behalf. by Mr. Powell, a for
rner democratic candidate for governor.
The telegram read;
Governor Judson Harmon is the
same Judsou Harmon who. as special
counsel. traced the crime Of rebating to
Paul Morton. resigning when you re
fused to proceed against this member
Of your cabinet.
The message asks Colonel Roosevelt
why he did not act against Morton.
The colonel asserted that Harmon
failed completely to trace the crime of
rebating to Morton.
The attorney general who was then
Moody, reported to him, Colonel Roose-
welt said, that Harmon had produced
no evidence whatever TO Justify his
recommendation Of action against Nor

Aid From Labor

-Four years ago the candidate on
the democratic ticket sought the as
sistance of myself and of the union
labor party in his campaign. We went
into the San Francisco labor council
and got the labor council to indorse
him against the advice of some of the
most able leaders who knew this mans
record in Washington. 1t was the first
time the San Francisco labor council
had gone into politics.
we appealed to Samuel Gompers in
Washington to wait on W. r. Hearst
and have him draw out his candidate,
and 1 and others went to Langdon and
appealed to him to withdraw. as we be-
lieved that the principles of the demo-
cratic candidate would free the state
from the influences against which we
were fighting. My appeal was ignored.

he could do.

at all, and began to flutter and
cackle and flew right up in Don

Whether you call it piazza or

you can transform it into that last

AS shade and seclusion are the
essentials in a comfortable outdoor
sitting room, 1t is for them that the
first expenditure is generally made.
Morning glory, wild cucumber, wis

its foliage is coarse and it's scent is
heavy, is liked for its rapid growth
