By morning, most if not all, of your

meeting Of the kind ever held in the
district, according to Mr.. Rawson
and w. W. Copeland, district commit
teeman.
Reports All Encouraging.
Reports were heard from both
women and men county chairmen on
conditions in their counties, and not
a few were freely predicting repub-
lican landslides in November. NO
doubt was expressed as to the cleo
ton of the complete ticket. In prac-
tically every county of the district
the poll of both men and women
voters is nearing completion, and the
women are organizing motor corps
to see that republican voters are
taken 10 Tie pofiS vi SlSStAoAi 49,
Mr.. Rawson reported that the state
is in excellent condition, from party
standpoint, with no candidate in dan
ger, but the most strenuous night pc
ing made upon Senator Cummins.
This is partly due to a concentration
of national effort upon the part OF
the democrats to defeat any two OF
the fifteen republican senators who
are uD for reelection this year in
order to secure a democratic senate.
Mr.. Rawson predicted the senator
reelection by decisive majority.
10000 Women Workers.
Mrs. Dodson, who has also visited
almost every section of the state,
backed up the chairman's remarks,
and added that the women OF Iowa
are rallying to Senator Cummins'
support in way that will insure
/ his election She also outlined the
women's organization with more than
2,O0e precinct chairmen and over
20, 900 enrolled active workers among
\ the women republicans OF Iowa.
w. F. Kopp. candidate for congress
on the republican ticket in the first
district, was called upon and spoke
briefly, impressing upon the women
that a duty, rather than a privilege,
had been imposed upon them. He
also cautioned his hearers not to
grow over.confident, but to get out
