Des Moines, Oct. 29.-Congressman
J A. 4. Hull of this district is the only
member OF congress representing an
Iowa district who has refused to lift
a hand in favor of the republican tick
ct. Early last summer he went to his
home in Virginia and has remained
there ever since. He has farm Of
1000 acres there. He occasionally Wig
it's Washington. The national commit
tee and the administration at Wash
ington sought to enlist his services as
a republican in the present campaign,
but it is now stated definitely he will
not take any part. He probably will not
visit Iowa to vote: in fact he is not
registered and it is doubtful if he could
vote.
This is the first time for years that
Captain Hull has not been engaged III
whooping it up for the party, except
one. In 1889 after he was beaten for
the nomination for governor by Cap
tain Hutchinson, of Ottumwa, Hull
threw his influence toward the demo-
cratic cause.
No part of the machine which was
built up around Hull in his forty years
Of office seeking and Office holding. is
now at the service OF the republican
party His pension agent, his post
MASTER his census supervisor, and 9TH
ers, are all too busy to do any political
work, this time.
Judge Prouty, on the other hand, has
always In the past, when defeated,
taken the stump for Hull and the
whole ticket. This has also been true
Of every other candidate whom Hull
defeated, and their names are legion.
The election of the republican candi-
dates in the district is. however. pretty
certain. The other day a leading cit
izen laid wager with Carroll Wright
on the governorshfp, the railroad at
torney stalking his judgment that Gov
ernor Carroll would be defeated; but
he would not in like manner put up
cent against Prouty. In railroad cir
Giles generally. however the belief is
strong that Price will be elected to
congress.
There is some evidence that the cor
poration- brewery combination is able
to secure publicity for its savage on
slaught on Cosson and Thorne in some
unexpected places. A vast amount Of
work has been done along this line
during the fall with the effect of
arousing the friends of both Cosson
and Thorne to their danger. The most
vicious attacks are being made on both
these candidates, and in certain circles
the boast is strong that they will both.
be defeated. The use OF money here is
so plain that it is reacting in their ia
yor.
With the crisis Of the political battle
about to be reached, all republican
nominees from those aspiring to the
highest offices down to the lowest will
plunge into the vigorous speaking cru
SADIE that has been arranged by the
republican state committee for the final
week Of the campaign. In every part
of Iowa big republican rallies will be
held.
Strong political addresses have been
reserved for the final weeks Of the
campaign, because in the past it has
been found that extended speaking
campaigns are not as effective as short,
decisive ones. Too often interest
reaches its zenith before election with
the result, that on election day it is on
the wane.
1t is probable that Senator Cum
Minis will make two addresses similar
in character to the one he delivered at
Marshalltown, Tuesday night. Sena-
tor Cummins and Governor Carroll
both intend to be in Des Moines on
the occasion of Roosevelt's visit to the
city Nov. 4.
Senator Cosson, who received the
republican nomination for attorney
general, at the June primary. it is
understood, IS making a strong, con-
sentative speech. Business interests
r,h; oh accif otos a Of Cliff
ford Thorne from Iowa made it I'M
possible for 1ime to actively enter the
campaign until the present time.
Many Of the speakers which the state
central committee will send out next
week will appear in the Tenth congress
sional district because there has been
no congressional speaking there. The
fact that the republican congressional
nominee has no opposition there has
resulted in little effort being made for
local speaking, and as result the
state committee has had to shoulder
the responsibility. the greater amount
Of which ordinarily is assumed by each
congressional candidate With the
added impetus given by the speech
making, It is felt certain that the work
of the state and county organizations
will have the desired result OF polling
large republican vote In the Tenth

Governor Carroll will make longer
jumps this week than during any other
week Of his prediction tour. Starting
in at Cedar Rapids Monday morning,
he will make addresses in seven towns
