Democratic party, that party is In
capable of doing this.
The wealth and manufactures of
the country must be preserved but the
people not wealth, must be the mas
ters in thisc ountry. The politicians,
congressman and legislators should
be the servants Of the people, not
masters fthe people. This is what
progressive Republicans stand for
and Albert J. Beveridge is one of the
great ladrs in this movement.
Senator. Albert B. Cummins Of
Iowa delivered a masterful address
to the Republicans of Marshall coun-
ty, at the Armory hall in this city,
Monday afternoon.
Senator Cummins was greeted with
prolonged applause when he arose to

an explanatory statement before be-
ginning his address.

the best Democrat. brand that
story as being absolutely without
foundation. 1t would have been i'm
possible for me TO have uttered a
sentiment of that character. What
did say was that there are certain
great and vital things which this
country must do in the very neal
future which the Democratic party,
with its history, its party record its
creeds and platforms, is utterly in
capable of doing.

spect toward the individual members
of that party, rendering the same
tribute to h< lesty and loyalty which
all bear to our great country. We
Republicans have made some mistak-
es, but l would rather place my con-
fidence in the possibility of correct
ing these mistakes by the grand ola
party itself than the hope of convert
ing the Democratic leaders from the
present errors of their ways"
Senator Cummins then began a
discussion of what he held to be the
three cardinal issues of the present
campaign from progressive stand
point: The Federal control of cor
porations the tariff and conservation.
Declaring that it would be an mex
cusable blunder to deny that there
are serious differences among Repub-
licans as to whether the tariff was
revised in accordance with platform
pledges, he said that he was one OF
those senator's who did not hesitate.

Here For Beveridge.

an address here tonight.
He is my associate in the Senate
of the United States. His deep learn

surpassed eloquence combine to make
him most conspicuous figure in
that body. But it is not his learning
or his eloquence that has drawn mt
into this struggle. He is my friend
and his lovable character awakens
my keenest interest in his welfare.

Always Fights Wrong.
Albert Beveridge hates wrong, a
very common feeling I hope among
public men and he is always fight
ing it, a practice, ! am sorry to say
that is not so self-evidept in public
life. He is a potent force in the
mighty movement that is now sweer
ing the length and breadth of ouI
land for a government filled with a
renewed sense of faithfulness and
watchful sympathy toward the inter
csts of the people.
These then are the reasons thai
