one Of the big men among our leading
statesmen and has u right to seek place

their hands and said nothing could he
done Mr., Byers seized the opportunity
and showed them what could be done
toward the enforcement of Iowa laws
when thecounty attorneys were assisted
by the spirit and force of his Office. In
making his announcement The Register
and Leader had the following:
Attorney General Byers has been in

in the lower house of the Iowa legisla-
ture. as the representative from Shelby
county, terminated with two terms as
speaker of that body. He is now serving
his second term as Attorney General
and third has been generally conceded
to him in case he should decide to be a
candidate. One of his principal achieve.
ments as Attorney General was the col
lection of many thousands of dollars
from large corporations in the form of
back filing fees on their articles Of in
corporation. He has been extremely
successful in securing money for the
state in this manner, and some Of the
suits he started to recover the money
are still pending
Mr.. Byers has given special attention
during his service as Attorney General
as we'll as when he was member of the
house to the question of freight rates,
and has been unusually active in cause
of the Iowa shipper.
In view of his candidacy for Congress
it is expected that several candidates for

political horizon Among them the prin-
cipal one. no doubt, will he Senator

THE DOLLAR BANQUET
Senator Cummlns Sounds the Keynote
Of Progressive Campaign In Iowa


On Saturday evening January |, a
banquet was given at the Slavery hotel
in Des Moines for Senator Cummins
No one was excluded hut none admitted
but those who were willing to put mp
a dollar a plate The object of the
meeting was to give our Junior Senator
an opportunity to make o speech and
give the progressive cause a boost for
the coming campaigne. Among the
notables present were Judge Prouty and
Attorney General Byers who will make
contest for the seats in Congress now
held by John A. T. Hull in the seventh
and Walter l. Smith in the ninth dis
trict. Senator Cummins stated very
clearly that whatever might be the re-
suit Of the primary he would be found
working for republican success; and de-
clared that the democratic organization
as political fundamentally is not only
hopelessly wrong but is beyond even the
dream of regeneration. We can give
hut a few extracts as follows:
THE fundamental tenets in the faith
of the republican party are but two in
number. but Of overwhelming impor-
tance to the American people. The first
and always the most vital is that the
constitution Of the United States created
a nation with all the power that is
necessary to adequately preserve the
dignity and promote the welfare of its
citizens: and to that end the immortal
charter Of the republic must be literally
4 interpreted. The second far-reachinG
in its consequences and essential to the
growth. development and prosperity Of
the land, is that import duties shall BIZ
laid for protection a. we'll as revenue
that through these duties domestic pro
ducers shall be shielded from the unfair
and unequeal competition Of other
countries.
i To me it Is clearer now than II eyer
was before that party which does NOT
hold fast to these doctrines Is not worthy
, or capable of administering our nationa
J affairs. The differences of opinion among
, republicans with respect to the applica
/ ton of these principles, or with respect
| to other questions which are not partisan
in their character. must not lead to thu
| transfer Of political power from TIN
party which now holds 1t to its ancient
, rival. For. although individually, thu
members of the democratic party ma,
I, Justly claim our highest admiration fo
d the qualities of their citizenship, the or
) ganizati0n as political instruInentalit!
/, Is not only hopelessly wrong, but IL he
/ You'd even the dream Of regeneration
i If the republican party ever surrender
Z the place it now occupies In American
= politics, it must be to an organization
Z which profoundly believes In the princi
pies that / have stated.
