owing to a jumping toothache, and
suffering pain while he talked, Senator
A. B. Cun1mins faced a monster crowd
in the Odeon Tuesday eveing and
stirred men to repeated applause in his
address for the whole republican ticket.
"A sound principle, misapplied, is only
a temporary evil, while an unsound
principle, when applied. works irrepar-
able HARM was his theme In explain
ing why republicans, regar dless Of diff
ferences among themselves as to the
revision OF tariff schedules. should vote
for republican supremacy rather than
for democratic party sworn to oppose
regulation Of trusts by the federal gov
ernment and sworn to destroy pro-
lection to American industries.
A large and representative audience
listened to the eloquent senator. The
meeting was presided over by Hon. B.
F. Cummings, former speaker OF the
Iowa house. and State Senator c. H.
Van Law, OF Marshall county, was in
troduced for q fifteen minute address.
Music by the Marshalltown band added
to the enthusiasm Of the demonstration.
A large delegation from the soldiers
home. among whom the senator is
popular, occupied seats on the stage,
as did many Of the candidates for coun-
ty Offices and workers in the cause.
AJim" Good Commended.
Senator Cummfns first commended
Hon. James w. Good in the highest
arv stetai..aAnts and Integrity OF
purpose in his public service. He then
made an earnest appeal for tho elec-
ton Of every republican upon the state
ticket. and pointed out how essential
1t is to maintain republican admin
istration IN state affairs.
Senator Cummins appealed to all re-
publicans to rebuke In the most em-
phatic way so unworthy an effort. He
then recited the brilliant achievements
OF the party from Lincoln to Taft. and
made it clear that for the successful

terprises as the proper conservation
OF our natural resources and the Pam
anna canal. republican policies must be
continued. Having finished this gem
eral review. he spoke upon further
national issues as follows:
Differences Arc Natural.
am here to discuss with serious men
a serious subject In a serious way.
This is not time for the flowers of
speech, and I am not here to present
bouquets to those leaders Of our party,
however honest they may be, who, from
my standpoint. have disregarded the
party principles and misapplied the
party doctrines. No honest man will
say that a thing is right if he believes
it to be wrong, or that a thing is true If
he believes It to be false, simply to
induce party harmony and promote
party success. II there is no basis for
party unity in the coming election other
than the transparent pretense that
there have been no material differences
among us. the effort to get together
which ought to succeed, will be a dis
NAL failure. We all know. and it is
an inexcusable blunder to even attempt
to conceal It. that If every republican
who feels that we did not revise the
platform votes the democratic ticket
in November there will be a democratic
house Of representatives. We all know,
and It IS the extreme OF folly to sup
press the truth, that IL every republi-
can who feels that some of the pro-
posals made by republican leaders in
the last congress for the regulation Of
railways and other common carriers
were reactionary and were unfair to
the great body Of the people. shall re-
cord his vote for democratic candidates
that republican victory is impossible.
am one of the senators who has
not hesitated either in his seat in con-
gress or elsewhere, to criticise the
Payne Aldrich tariff law, and to con-
denim certain provisions in the pro-
posed act for the further regulation Of
our railways. and in all that I have
said upon these subjects there is Moth
ing to retract; nothing for which to
apologize: nothing to be modified or
explained.
= Republicans Hope Of Nation.
Standing precisely where have
stood thru years Of wearly struggle.
advocating with all the strength I
have the $same principles. the same
doctrines. the same policies which I
have done my best to sustain in the
controversies which have taken place
between the members OF our party, I
am more profoundly convinced than
ever before not only of the import
ance, but OF the imperious necessity Of
administering the affairs Of this
country thru the instrumentality of the
republican party rather than thru the
fundamentally of the democratic par
~, and assert with all the sense Of
responsibility that can attach to one
who has given his best years to the
service Of his fellowmen. that the well
