| i've members of the house delegation
have been repudiated in our own state
If a majority of the Republicans here
believe that we have been unfalth1ul
to their interests, and to the Welfare
of the country they ought to say so;
but if, on the other hand, they believe
that we are keeping the trust reposeo
in us, and that we are doing the best
we can to protect the rights and pre-
serve the privileges which all citizens

they ought to say So"
( AIdrich and Cannon Targets.
After explaining that an extraord1'
| nary condition now exists and TINS
alone is excuse for his being in the
state at this time to plead for the 1nsur'
gent candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor, Senator
Cummins traced the development
of corporations in the United states
and declared that the present Republl-
can leaders are in league with those
corporations.
Senator Aldrich is one of the men
of whom have been speaking. In the
house Mr.. Cannon, the speaker, mas
exercised dominating control, anu
after him come Payne, Dalzen ana q
few others of the same type. Iney
look at these vital problems from the
corporate standpoint and they are az
ways fearful that any step IN inc
further and the better regulation o.
these overmastering forces IN our
commercial life will destroy business
will take away some Of the pronts
with which the multi-millionaires have
been enriching themselves. Every
session of congress will develop just
such differences; and can you wonder
that we, who are marked for the DIS
favor of the powerful influences AZ
WASHINGTON should want a governor
who is in sympathy with what we are
irving to do-should want the whole
state government to be in harmony
with the progressive movement 1or
better laws? You will understand, l
am sure, that I have given you the
reason why I want to see Warren
Garst nominated for governor. In ad-
dition to the work that he would do
so splendidly at home, it would DC
comforting at washington to Kno"
that the governor of the state was
lifting up his voice to aid us IN the
struggle in which we are constantly
engaged.
Wants Cannon Aides Beaten.
"The present members Of the house
of representatives from this district
and from tn Ninth congressional
district and the First congressional
district are devoted followers OF Al
ylrich and Cannon, Of Payne and Dal-
zell and they have voted and Will vote
in the future if they are returned 10
congress. Just as the Aldrich- Cannon
organization determines they ought to
vote. .. -,
"There is nothing personal in the
situation. I covet the support ana con
fidence of every man in Iowa, but IL IS
in the highest degree illogical Tor any
man to help me to seat in the senate
of the United States or to believe tnat
7 ought to remain there to stand tor
the nomination Of Hull, of Smith, or
Towner, or of Kennedy. The sooner
we realize that this division IN the
ranks of the Republican party is
erhemeral, the sooner we appreciate
that it Is movement OF the peopl1
and not merely to crafty personal
ambitions, the sooner we will become
cons cious of great and everlasting
truth"
DoIliver Attacks Tariff.
Analysing, schedule by schedule ana
item by item, the Payne-Aldrlch tarln
act, Senator Dolllver declared that
close scrutiny shows that 80 far as
the nublic is concerned the tarih re-
vision in fact carries rates as high or
higher than the Dingley tariff law on
most articles of general use In their
finished condition"
"Most of the reductions were so
trivial as to be ridiculous and were
either upon articles which we 40 not
import to any extent, but export IN
enormous quantities, or were for the
purpose Of further protecting the
manufacturers especially by reducing
the duties on raw materials, While
most OF the rates on finished prod
ucts were either kept at the Dingley
standard Or were increased. In fact, a
careful scrutiny Of the particular
items that were changed, and the
exact trifling change Of rate in each
case shows how cunningly the re-
vision was arranged In order to de-
ceive the public and look like real re-
vision downward"
Enlargement Of the Free List.
Senator Dolliver declared much
stress has been laid upon the sup
posed enlargement Of the free list. yet
he said that the only new items were
hides, few semi-inished coal tar
products, radium, works Of art over
twenty years old, miners appliances
and Brazil cream nuts. Taking UP the
paint and oil schedule Senator Dolli-
YER said the "Winona table" showed
manifest padding to increase the al
legged reductions"
Speaking of glassware he said tho
decreases were negligible and only on
the larger sizes Of plate while the
duty was increased on certain small
err sizes.
The metal schedule was criticized
as giving decreases only on crude ma
terial not purchased by the consumer.
Agricultural Implements.
He made similar structures on the
wood schedule. The speaker said the
purported decreases in sugar were
"too great a joke to receive atten-
