:iThe Only Question as to State Ticket
Regards the Size of the Republican

Districts Are Close and in Doubt.
WW-.. ••••.
Des Moines, Nov. 2.—This is the
•1 time of the campaign when the poli
tician's fancy lightly turns to
y,,^thoughts of pluralities.
&/•£ The only problem concerning the
'.CK/outcome of the campaign, which is
^''jnow practically closed, so far as the
V,*'work of the managers is concerned,
§gPs|is the size of Governor Cummins'
plurality. On the other hand, the ex
act character of the plurality is so
difficult to determine that no figures
are given out at either democratic or
|S»' republican headquarters.

However the general consensus of
"^'jopinion among republicans who have
.made a sturdy pre-election conditions
is that Gov. Cummins' plurality will
range from 60,000 to 05,000. Demo
crats place his plurality at from 30,000
to 40,000.
In the legislature, the republicans

The Orators.
T® The campaign just closed was a
battle which has called forth an un
usual array of brilliant oratorical tal
ent. The republicans have put their
best speakers into the field, and lots
of them. Governor Cummins. Senat
ors Allison and Dolliver Secretary
''/V* ll. M. Shaw, Governor Van Sant
of Minnesota, and others have stood
liefore Iowa audiences and proclaimed
the doctrine of protection. For the
democrats, Jerry B. Sullivan, the dem
ocratic candidate .Tudge Martin J.
.-."Wade, the congressman from the sec
ond Iowa district, and General Weav
er have been the principal speakers.
Governor' Cummins has made the
-'campaign of his life. The governor
Was never in better form. His voice
has held out through t*ie wearisome
tasks of the campaign and he has been
able to endure the fatigues of the past
.month without quailing for a moment.
The test of physical endurance has
been a severe one. The governor has
traveled over nearly every portion of
Iowa, speaking from one to three and
spmetimes four times a day, without
cessation. His speeches have been of
unusual force and brilliancy and the
large attendance at all his meetings
indicates the governor's great popular
ity, and the patriotism of the people.
