Des Moines, Oct. 10.-"All that we
need to do is to go before the people
and let them know exactly what has
been done and the effect of democratic
policies on American business. to give
the plain facts about the work of the
democracy at Washington, to deal in
facts and tell the simple truth-and
Iowa will go overwhelmingly republic
can this year"
That was the substance of what
Senator Cumnins told the conference
of party workers here. He took the
position that there never has been a
situation wherein the republicans have
such good campaign material. The
five big things of the administration
should be discussed and analysed and
be understood by every voter. OF
course there are some good things that
have been done, but the bad is so con-
spicuous and dominating that it should
all be told. The republicans of Iowa
should from this time on conduct an
aggressive campaign. The truth
should be told no matter who it hits
or where it hurts.
Heard by Large Crowds.
Il have never spoken to larger
crowds in my whole career than this
year" said Senator Cummins, and 1
do not believe 1 ever saw the crowds
follow me with such keen interest.
The people want to know what is being
done. They want the facts. 1t is our
duty to give Ii to them"
Lieutenant Governor Harding and
Senator c. c. Dowell spoke along the
same line. The former was especially
optimistic. He predicted Cummins
will have the largest vote he ever got
in all the history of the state and tina.
the people will be surprised at how
big vote is going to be cast for Gov
ernor Clarke.
In the course of the conference Mr..
Dingwell told of the meeting the
democrats OF Dallas county had at
-Adel the night before. They had for
speakers their candidate for governor.
candidate for lieutenant governor, can
didate for congress, candidate for
county attorney, a member of their
state central committee and some
others. Including these they succeeded
in getting out a crowd of just Al per-
house employees. OF the crowd about
Sc were republicans. That is sample
Of what troubles the democrats are
having. They have given UP their
D1an for tour. of that county. Il
Practically all the reports madear
the Seventh district conference were
cheering in tone for the republicans.
Following the conference there was
last evening republican meeting well
attended and closely followed by the
people. Senator Dowell presided and
the speakers were kenyin, Cummius
and Harding.
Ex-senator Newberry. of Straw
berry Point, was here yesterday to in
sist that the railroad commission shall
finish up the cases involving the
branch line trains in Iowa. The case
regarding the Calmar branch train Is
set for final argument before the COM
mission next Tuesday and the case
involving the Algona branch is set for
the following day. Attorneys for the
railroads have been trying 10 nave the
cases postponed until some ether time;
hut the compliments have been wait
ing long time and the commission
will insist on the matter being closed
up.
when these branch line additional
train complaints were presented early
in the year the railroads asked for
time in which to compile statistics
showing the actual result OF operation
of passenger trains on the branch
lines. It was asserted that the show
ing would be to the effect that all
these branch line passenger trains are
losing money. Whether any such
statistics have been compiled is not
We, known, or made public.
In both of these cases the effort is
heing made to show the inadequacy of
1he passenger train service of one
train day each way without resort
70 the law which makes two trains a
day necessary.
