From a staff Correspondent
DIES MONIES. Oct 3Q-tSpeCiaL0-It Is
expected that the Comint Of Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt to Iowa She last week OF
the state campaign will be the climax. The
manner in which he is received will so far
to Indicate whether or not the Iowa repuo-
liCans are being this year drawn away from
their mooHnEs. Colonel Roosevelt will bc
here chiefly TO speak TO the Iowa state
Teachers association next Friday night
He will deliver an address which will prob
ably be filled with something that is not
far removed from political advice. Prior
to speaking to the teachers he will stop
in Davenport, where ne will In the after
noon deliver a strictly political talk. i'm
mediately in the interest OF the republican
candidate for congress in that district, the
closest in Iowa. lie will be the guest at
commercial club dinner in Des Moiues
at o'clock. 1t is the present plan that
after the teachers meeting Colonel RooSe-
welt will address a political meeting. 1t
will probably be late, but other speakers
Will flll In the time until he comes. In fact
1t will be a big rally addressed by Senator
Cummins, Governor Carroll. Judge :. +.
Prouty and other long recognized party
leaders. Colonel Roosevelt has promised TO
speak, but only for short time. and he
will say something that will be OF help 20
the republican cause In the state lie is
easily the most popular republican OK ma
tional repute and the fact that he had two
Iowans in his cabinet was sufficient to
endear him TO many Iowa republicans. It
is planned that he will be given great
ovation in Des Moines and to show him
that Iowa people have the utmost conf
dence in him.
Outside Interference Resented.
Rumors that there is a disposition to have
the Iowa senator selected by outside inter
ference is being resented in the state. 1t
Is found that the somewhat premature
boom for W. :. Kenyon, assistant United
states attorney, was started outside the
state and that In the Tenth district It has
little standing. Several other alleged can
didates have not met with any favor at all
since the matter has been up for discussion.
There are believed to be only five or six
prominent republicans who are at all IN
the running or who would be endorsed by
the voters II they should be selected by
the legislature. This list includes Attorney
General II. w. Byers, Ex-Governor Warren
Garst, ex-senator A. r. Funk Senator
Ismes A. smith, Congressman A. f. Daw-
son and Governor b. r Carroll Fractional
lines were not drawn at all in the selection
Of the candidates for the Legislature, since
II was not supposed that any factional mat
GERS would likely come up, least OF all a
-enatorial election. This makes the situa-
ton more difficult OF solution. But at
present no persons outside OF the six
named are receiving any consideration at
the hands Of the politicians. Not one Of
these is an svowed candidate, but every
one is recognized as in position to demand
consideration.
IOwa'H Missing Acres.
A remarkable discrepancy is found be-
tween the reports Of the state assessors
and the census enumerators in regard to
The number of acres OF farming land in
Iowa. The report given out by Secretary
Simpson of the Department Of Agriculture,
which is compiled from the assessors re-
turns as to lands actually assessed, shows
total Of 1sO.4sS farms with over SO,OOOOOo
