Sigourney, Sept 49, Characterize
ton Of the presidency as a more pow
erful position thar that of any other
ruler in the world and striking dec
laration that President Wilson is COM
pletely dominating congress featured
Minis delivered yesterday afternoon at
Sigourney.
Some of the characteristic portions
of the speech are these:
"A few months and the war will
be over and will leave hehand it moth
ing but sorrow, remorse and devasta :
ton, but our problems of industry,
commerce and humanity will confront
us day after day so long as the repub-
lie lives.
I'm frankness, I am bound to say
that if the people of Iowa want a SEN
ator who will simply be an echo OF
the voice of some other man, wheth-
err he be president or not. my distin-
guished adversary will better serve
their purpose than | can. for I never
have, and never will permit any other
person, whether ne be in high station
or low station, to control my voice or
vote.
As to the President.
Woodrow Wilson is strong, de-
termined man, Intellectually and
morally, who commands unqualified
unbounded respect. He is d patriot
and have no doubt that he sincerely
believes that he is eSerting his vast

the world, and when to his influence
as the leader of his party there is adj
ded the influence of his patronage and
the fascination of his favor he can. if
he wants to do it, and knows how to do
it. dominate congress. Mr.. Wilson de-
sires to do it, knows how to do it. and
has done it more absolutely than any
other president in the history OF the
republic.
For the first year in which the

the government they have appropri-

II assert that the banking and cur

the power of those who make profit
from loans of money, and that the
law legalizes yes. more than that. II
compels combinat tons of bankers that
would not be TOLERATED for an instant
in any other form of human activity.
