Special to Times
Des Moines, May lit was glor-
.ious day yesterday for the republicans
Of Iowa who stand by the party plat
form and oelieve in the fulfllment Of
all party pledges. They flocked to town
In great numbers. They all wore big
smiles, They told, not Of fears and dis
appointments, but of news Of success
and assurances Of better things.
II don't know when I can get back
again., said Senator Cummins, "but 1t
will be Just as soon as possible. How
ever. 1t looks to me like there is not
much need of my taking part In the
campaign. You people are fully alive
to the situation You are doing busi-
ness. I don't see that l can add any
thing to the campaign"
Senator Cummins was told that the
work he has been doing in congress in
recent weeks has been making more
votes for him than any possible
speeches he might make in Iowa.
Governor Larrabee sent him a word
of cheer: 'I hope our people," he wrote,
will turn out and show their apprecia-
ton of the work done by our Abraham
Lincoln republicans in congress to re-
store our government to the control OF
the people"
And they did turn out. They came
from all over Iowa. One could not
mingle with them without discovering
that they are unusually confident; I'M
fact. that their confidence Is well
grounded and sincere and not in the
least assumed. Everyone had story
to tell of how the progressive move
ment is gaining. OF men who formerly
held back who are now on the firing
line. 81 voters who confess they had all
aicng misunderstood the situation, of
farmers and business men and young
men who are now for the first time
fully committed to the movement which
In iowa made Cummins an idol and
which in the nation has given Roose.
velt his strength.
The meeting last night was a grand
success. The feeling among the pro-
gressive leaders is that It will practi-
cally make 1t unanimous, and that
while it was already certain that the
senators would be indorsed by the vote
of the republicans it is now equally
certain that the vote will be emphatic
and positive.
A Magnificent Audience.
Before an audience which filled every
seat in the mammoth Coliseum, Sen
ators Dolliver and Cummins advocated
the cause OF insurgency, made no
apologies for their actions in the sem
ate, and urged the necessity of making
the entire Iowa delegation to congress
progressive, as well as the state admin
istration.
sSenator Dolliver spoke first. He was
introduced by Harvey 1ngham. who had
been presented by Robert J. Fleming,
chairman Of the Dolliver- Cummins-
Garst progressive republican commit
tee.
Senator Dolliver dwelt at length on
the tariff, setting forth clearly why he
and Senator Cummins could not stand
for the tariff bill, the railroad bill or
the postal savings bank bill, even tho
these measures were satisfactory to the
administration.
Senator Cummins talked more on the
Iowa situation. He took up the cudgel
against the Iowa Taft club, asserting
that the club is laboring behind mask
He invited open battle, but deied
the effort Of this organization to labor
to condemn him under false pretenses.
He came out vigorously in support of
the progressive candidates for congress
and for Governor Garst. To be con-
sistent the people OF Iowa should send
solid progressive delegation to the
national assembly, he said, as well as
place a supporter of progressive prin-
ciples in the gubernatorial chair.
He, too, spoke of his actions in the,
t. 1I5,~ srk~ ~
bills and asserted that he had no apol-
ogy to make. The measures contained
such vicious provisions, he asserted,
that 1t was impossible to lend sup
port to them as they stood, so he as
serted.
The enthusiasm Of the meeting was
intense. The senators were greeted with
great ovation when they stepped upon
the platform and again when each
speaker was introduced Their talks
were punctuated by the applause of the
vast assemblage.
Aldrieh Hit Hard.
Senator Dolliver drew line connect
ing Senator Aldrich with the Guggen,
