situation in Hamilton county to-
day made the statement that this
county will roll up the usual
Republican majority from COVER
nor down. He has just returned
from a trip over the county.
There is very little indication
hereabouts," said he, ''of any dis
affection. The people are pretty
well aroused and I look for a fair
~ large vote. And it will be nor
mally, republican, too. Our news
paper advertising campaign, used
in lieu of a speaking campaign on
account of the quarantine, has
been a success. The Republican
ticket is in no danger in Hamilton
county"
Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. "A final
statement by Charles A. Rawson,
chairman Republican state committee,
issued by him today. says:
iowa voters must choose between
the Republican party and the Demo-
cratic party. Everyone knows esti-
mates in figures would be mere guess

a Republican United States senator
and elevent members Of the house, and
the usual Republican majority in both
houses of the legislature.
1.-THE Democrats themselves have
made this doubly sure by abandoning
the prctenses Of the early part of their
campaign and openly avowing their
plan which was determined upon in
Washington and approved by the
Democratic conference at the Kirkw0od
last March, of trying to revive the al
most defunct Democratic party OF
Iowa by a fight for Democrats as such
and to defeat all Republicans just be-
cause they are Republicans. Iowa peo-
pie resent the effort to tie Iowa to the
Democratic cart at a time when more
than aver before we should keep our
heads clear and our faces set toward
the right.
Fight OH Governor.
"Our enemies have made the fight
exclusively on the governor, and
through him and over his head made
a vicious attack on the loyalty of Iowa
people and denied to Republicans the
patriotism they claimed exclusively for
Democrats. We have shown the
falsity of their flood of accusations
and i%nsinuatiOns, and the utter hypo-
cricy Of the whole Democratic cam"
paign as to state and national matters.

will all be elected.
Test is Twin War;"
"The Iowa Republicans started out
their campaign with this declaration
as to the main issue:
THE one supreme test is to win
the war. speedily if we can, but to
win it. No party feeling must be
permitted to touch our consecra-
ton to this sacred undertaking.
THAT has been from the first and
is our stand in this campaign. h
yer we have turned aside it has been
because of the partisan and viciOusly
personal attacks of the Democrats, and
then only to offset their f%alsehoods
with simple truth. While the Demo
Gratis have counted confidently on
whatever there is of disloyal or dis
satisfied vote, they have also sought
to divide the loyal vote by deception
We have faced one way and II only.
The fact that we stand today right
where we have ill along, for American
ideals and American policies, here and
everywhere, makes it certain that the
Republican party will win"
