veltSs welcome by the people of Iowa

of enthusasm. There WAS so much
loud talking by men in the crowd that
the colonel could not make himself
heard by all.
Col. Roosevelt reached Davenport at
2:35 am and remained in his car until
o'clock. when he went to the home
of Miss Alice French for breakfast. A
small crowd at the station chccred him
as he appeared. After breakfast he
drove to Central park to make his first
speech of the day.

set for his arrival the people began to
gather and when he reached the park
he was greeted by large crowd of
students Of Augusta college i'll Rock
Island H.. who gave their cheer, as
did the high school students.

cold. Representative y. f. Dawson

Roosevelt's presence made it certain
TINT the Republicans would CARRY the
district.
After all the turmoil said Col.
Roosevelt, the Republican pnrty is
coming together on Il sane aud pro-
grcssive platform. while our opponents
