V% TUESDAY, October 27, 1903. HON. S. H. HEDRIX AND HON. ELLSWORTH ROMINGER BK POUND DOCTRINES. Wr" I- PEOPLE LIKE GOOD TIMES 1v v5 •safest.. Voters Aroused to Necessity of Cast- £$! ing Ballots This Fall in Favor of Present Policies and Continued Prosperity. From Friday's Daily. The initial republican meeting held in Eddyville this fall took place last evening in I.egsett's opera house. At im eariy hour the voters of Eddyville and vicinity commenced pouring into the opera house and at 8:15 o'clock, Joseph Parks, superintendent of the Eddyville and Kirkville schools, intro duced in a few choice words the first speaker, Hon. S. H. Hedrix of Allerton. The address of Mr. Hedrix was elo quent and convincing. He impressed lupon his hearers that the policies of the grand old republican party brought, good times to this country and will continue to give the same prosperity, if the voters of Wa pello county will go to the polls on No vember 3 and support. Governor A. B. Cummins and his colleagues on the re publican ticket. Representative A. W. Buchanan- then gave a short talk, in "which he illustrated that the affairs of the state and Wapello county were being handled in a straightforward businesslike manner and expressed the hope that the republicans of the thriv ing little town of Eddyville and its immediate surroundings would return to the county offices every candidate on the ticket. The concluding address was made by Hon Ellsworth Rominger, of Bloomfleld, congressional committee man of the sixth district. Mr. Rom inges, although he had but a short time to tall:, presented in an admir able manner to the voters of the Eddy yille precinct, the-reasons for their ar dent support of the republican candi dates, on election day. Mr. Hedrix Talks. iH Hon. S. H. Hedrix began an able ad dress'by telliug of the origin of the re publican party, its trials and troubles up to the time of its return to the rul ing power of this country, in 18915, when the late Win. McKinley went in to office and immediately made a rev elation in the business world, making factories that had been shut down pri or to that time, open their doors and ask for laboring men, finally bringing to the-American people what -they no# so magnificently-enjoy, an abundance of prosperity, good times and peace with all. One of the most striking parts 'of the address of Mr. Hedrix was where he told of the difference between the platforms of the republican •»and democratic parties. Pie stated that there was not an intelligent man living who could not distinguish the republi- 1 can platform from the democratic by isimply reading the first paragraph. "We Point With Pride." nn i.mi" "jw-M iifwwywiipHjpPdHHiiBHmpiPPIWWWpWWWWPIWIIHiWHWP REPUBLICAN SPEAKERS ENTHUSE EDDYV1LLE VOTERS pvnlflnatorv heading could drix and no expianatorj neaning couiu ,%6fbe seen any intelligent man could 'tSfvery. readily tell the platform of the -.^incompatible party from that- of the !',?Sjthe republican party by simply reading 'the first paragraph.

The democrats Sip are always finding fault, tlicy are not compatible with any man's views. When they are unable to find fault llJ^with the opposing party, they fight with their own men." a a Speaker Hedrix deftly compared the .. prosperous situations of the present time with the panic anil disastrous period under democratic rule ten years ago. Iowa and several of the it western states have advanced to such N: aq extent that they now stand serene, yet strong in the nation's eyes. 3 tinulng Mr. Hedrix said: 'Let the prosperous time.which have of a change and beware of a relapse into that inexplainable panic of '92. The wage earner at the present time is making good money and consequently the retailers of household necessities are receiving a greater price for their products. On every side you can see prosperity and from an intelligent man's standpoint, there is no need of a change from the smooth, straight forward prosperous way the affairs of both state and nation are being handlod at the present hour.l hope that 'the voters of this great state of Iowa will have the foresight to vote the straight republican ticket this elec tion and thereby enable the prosper ous times for both poor and rich to continue." Mr. Rominger's Address. 'Following Mr. Hedrix, Hon. Ells worth Bominger of Bloomfleld, was in troduced and spoke in part as follows: "Ladies and Gentlemen: This year the business conditions that everywh^ve' prevail appeal to your good judgment and not to your axative Cures Cold in One Pay. ble citizen of our common country. "Your native land and mine is tree from bitter partisan strife because the energies of the people are turned to the affairs of every day business life and men are out of politics and in business. The marvelous business development in the wake of present policies in this country lias not only employed the muscle and the brain of our people, but attracted the attention ot the business centers of civilization everywhere. We cannot have materi al progress business activity, commer cial greatness with ultimate national glory without a small meusure.at least of patriotic pride being reflected into the individual lives of the humblest citizens of this mighty republic. Nourished in Cradle of Liberty. "The fundamental principles of this government were nourished in the cradle of our Anglo-Saxon liberty that has struggled along the rugged path way of civilization until in our accom plishments we command the respect of the combined powers of this earth. Prosperity Vs. Adversity. "We have had seven years of plen ty that have produced tliis cloudless era of business contentment, and the only issue before you is, prosperity Shall we depart had! from the policies that have caused the fires of business activity to be rekind led upon the hearthstones of six mil lions of homes in this land? Could Enforce Idleness. "If we should turn the sovereign power of the ballot against the busi ness and financial world, and engage in experimental legislation, we could produce an enforced vacation for 7,000, 000 day laborers thar, would cost us more, in the shrinkage of values in the next twelve months than the combined wars of the great powers for the last century. Use Your Eyes. "If you use your eyes you can see what the people of this country can do when money is plenty and labor is em ployed. Farm hands are scarce, con tractors lack men, carpenters are busy, factories are .filled with orders. The great arteries of commerce and ex change are crowded and choked to their full capacity, delivering the manufactured products of the people, who are consuming more, because they have the wlierewithall with which to make the purchases. Your real estate has almost doubled in value in the last seven years. Board any of the great trans-continental trains today and you find them crowded with farmers seek ing cheaper land. Your merchants are busy with a good trade, your mines have not been idle for months and in this unparalleled era of business activ ity, the entire American people are re joicing. Would You Reverse the Wheels? "The question then'is, are we ready to reverse the great wheels of indus try and call a halt in the progress of our beloved land?

'It is said that Grover Cleveland's administration was historically of four years' duration.

Under the protective system, we have paid every dollar of the ex pense of the Spanish-American war, reduccd the debt $150,000,000, .given employment to every honest man and have a surplus in the United States treasury of over $200,000,000 and met the annual expenses of $600,000,000, required to conduct the affairs of our government. With $2,408,000,000 in ac tive circulation with an estimated pop ulation of 80,800,000 people, there is a circulation of $29.75 per capita and the only danger that our friends of the oposition see, is in our tariff and for eign policy. And yet it would be diffi cult to find a single citizen who does not believe that times are good enough. Emblem of Civilization. "The United States has extended her territorial possessions, and I for one do not. believe that the American flag floats today over the circles of the ori ent as an emblem of oppression. It is true that 10,000 American soldiers are in the Philippine Islands protecting the lives and the properties of the people. Nearly 2,000 American school teachers are busily engaged in teaching to the Philippine youth the principles of lib erty and American civtlization and I predict that ere another decade is gone "These are not questions of politics er in the republican party."

ALL FOR ROOSEVELT. No Opposition to His Renomination Will Come From Wall Street. Washington, D. C., Oct. 21.—Assur ances have been received by republi cans in Washington from the men who control in financial matters that there will be no more opposlton from that source to Mr. Roosevelt's nomination next year. These assurances are the result, of a number' of conferences which have been held between republi can friends of the President and the money kings during the last few weeks. Trade in the Arrangement. According to one of the men who took part in the conferences, there is something that smacks of trade in the arrangements. The financial in terests are to give support, both mor al and monetary, to the republican nominee. In return the President and liis political managers have promised that there will be ample protection given the present tariff law during the next administration and also that the President's support will be enlisted in behalf of financial legislation which is so much desired by the men who until recently have been opposing Mr. Roosevelt. the average political orator will hold financiers did not extend these assur ances entirely voluntarily. They held up the accomplishments of this govern menl in the Orient as a mighty example of what the United States of America can do to take their own station among the civi lized people of this earth and instead of our lias holding a people in slavery it will ultimately bring enlightenment, material prosperity and broader civi lization.
