At Dennison.
Dennison, Ia, Aug. 26.-The need of
placing the general interests of the
country above all the private interests
was Col. Koosevelt's theme in his speech
here. Iowa is the state in which the
people are fortunately typical of what
| the American people should be he said.
"In fact" he added, they place the
general interests before the special in
! tereStS. This my friends is the pro-
! blem that is before the American peo-
| pie today we must subordinate special
| interests to the public good.
Il want to stand for the CORPORATIONS
| when they are RI that they can
| have conditions under which they can
| earn dividends, but corporations are not
| entitled to votes and are not entitled
| to the ownership of any public man."
Here in Iowa the conditions of your
| life have been such that / feel this
| state affords a peculiarly favorable
| field for work. Put the nation on the
| plane it must be put and kept if we
are continue to make the great repub-
| lie of the west what 1t must be made
| the greatest example that the world has
| ever seen of successful popular govern
ment of given and by the people.
Il believe in your crops, in your soil,
| but 1 believe more in your -eople. 1t
| is the men ana women that are the
best crop of your state. When YOU
speak of the general virtue you must
| depend on the virtue individual
