I'm view Of the fact that some Of this

which1I am q member" said Senator
CuH1mins, in substance, to his friends.
Il should feel that I would be recreanr
to the trust the republicans Of Iowa
have reposed in me, and negligent of
the duty the people Of Iowa have
right to expect Of me, should I turn
aside to enter upon an extended cam
paign before this primary. / must
choose between a duty Of the highest
Importance to the country and pleas
ure it would be to me to face the re-
publicans Of Iowa and discuss before
them the public matters pending in
congress that will be the Issues of this
year.
: But. Il. want you to und erstand that
as soon as congress adjourns, which
will proba bly, be in July, and from that
time on shall devote all my strength
to presenting to the people of this and
4other states the real stu ation IN ma
tional. politics. I do not believe that
the present administration is one
which Is entitled to the confidence of
the people. I shall go before the peo-
pie and show why. I believe l can
convince all who hear me that we
ought to have and will have return
of the republican party to power in
the nation and every state. Let us do
that which will promote that object.
Il believe that the principles which
we all have long held and which we
have been battling for these many
years are destined to triumph this year
and two years hence in the nation. I
want. the republicans Of Iowa to so
work in this primary that they can
best make the fight that IS ahead for
