ALLISON CAMPAIGN 01 ENS Senator DolliTer Pay. Glowing Trib- nte to His Colleague.; GOVERNOR CUMMINS ARRAIGNED A serfs Latter, Coald Not Hare Bees Nominated, bat far Promise Not to Oppose the Re-election f Allison. The opening gun In the campaign for the re-election of United Ststss , Senator ' Wil liam B. Allison waa fired last n'ght In Council Bluffs,' when Senator; Jonathan P. Dolllver of Fort Dodge, unden the auspices of the Pottawattamie County v Allison club, addressed at the New theater a representa tive and enthusiastic gathering of repub licans which filled every seat on the first floor and balcony and thronged the side aisles, on the publlo life and services of his venerable colleague In the United States senate. Senator Dolllver arrived In the city dur ing the afternoon, having stopped oft at his home In Fort Dodge on his way from Milton, O., where he spoke Saturday even ing. On arrival Senator Dolllver was greeted by a large number of prominent republicans from southwestern lown, who had reached the city earlier In the day and gathered at the Grand hotel. Among the early arrivals were Judge B. W. Lacy, C. H. Bradley, J. I. Adams, Dr. J. R. Outhrle and J. C. Collier, composing the delegation from Dubuque, Senator Allison's home town; Dave Grant, editor of the Iowa City Republican; Major 8 W. Rath burn, editor of the Marlon Register; Hon. D. J. Palmer, state railroad commissioner; Julian Richards, former secretary, to the late Speaker David Henderson; ex-State Representative Lavender of Calhoun county; Representative Mann of Fremont county; Postmaster Currle of Shelby; Hon. Frank Shlnn of Carson; J. C. McCabe, editor of the Logan Observer; Almor Stern of Logan; ex-Representative Kllng of Woodbine; W. S. Elliott of Audubon; P. B. Brown, editor of the Shelby County Re publican; Hon. James Dewell of Missouri Valley; Thomas Arthur of Missouri Valley, and Hon. John T. Stone of Olenwood. These, together with other prominent mem bers of the party who arrived later in the day, occupied seats on the stage. Senator Dolllver was accompanied by Mrs. Dolllver, and while In the city they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest IS. Hart at their home, HUlcrest. Meeting; at New Theater. . The meeting at the New theater was opened with two selections by the Elks' quartet, composed of Messrs. Haveretock, Gerke, Rigdon and Dr. Lewis. In present ing Senator Dolllver, Hon. Charles M. Harl, president of the Pottawattamie County Alli son club, paid an eloquent tribute to Sena tor Allison. After reviewing hrlefly the po lltlcal situation in Iowa, Mr. Harl said that Senator Allison waa the one mi upon whom all factions should unite. Declaring that Albert B. Cummins owed his re-election aa governor of Iowa, to the fact that he persistently denied rumors that he desired to succeed Senator Allison, and sent written assurances over his own signature to frlenda of Allison saying that he favored the senator's re-election. Sen ator J. P. Dolllver in his address before the Allison club ssld the governor should call off his friends who are pushing his candidacy for the senate. "A year ago the slightest Intimation that his re-election was not desired, that younger men were needed in the senate, that the party was tired of Senator Alli son, or, In the words of an Iowa editor, that he had 'outstayed his weloome,' would have been enough to have taken him out of the way of all our ambitious party leaders," declared Iowa's Junior senator.

It is not my purpose to discuss here all the questions Involved In this situa tion; but I cannot forbear saying that the' governor ought, if within his power, to restrain his friends from giving currency to the suggestion that there ,1a anything mysterious or questionable about the sen ator's candidacy." Senator Dolllver reviewed at length the career of Senator Allison from the time he entered the house of representatives from the - old Dubuque district In 1862, and' aa congressman secured the payment of In demnity due the pioneer settlers of the Des Moines valley for the failure of title to their homesteads, to the last session of congress, when he assisted In carrying the president's plana for railroad rate regula tion to decisive victory. "It only required one session of congress to bring William B. Allison of Iowa to the front," said Mr. Dolllver. "And he became a member of the committee on ways and means iq the most treTTbiesome times the treasurer of the United States has ever seen. "He waa the author of the Internal rev enue law, In 1868, which stands today with a few minor changes, and which Increased the revenues on spirits alone from $14,000,000 per year before It was adopted to $38,000,000 for the first year after Its passage." Senator Dolllver declared it was such work as the stalwart senior senator did in the early years which laid the founda tion for a . training which has made him the adviser of presidents and leaders of the senate and drew from James G. Blaine the compliment In the story of "Twenty Teara in Congress." "For Industry, good Judgment, strong common sense and fidel ity to every trust, both public and private," aald Mr. Blaine. "Mr. Allison has estab lished an enviable reputation." Some of Allison's Works. One of Senator Allison's services to his country waa pointed out by his Junior col lesgue, and was of special Interest because of Its bearing upon the present movement In cities to adopt the "Galveston Plan" of city government. "Mlsgovernment and Incompetency reigned in the District of Columbia, -when Sen ator Allison went to the forty-sixth con gress," said Senator Dolllver. "A gang of taxeaters and contractors dominated all Its departments. Things were so bad that congress appointed a special Joint com mittee to report a measure for Its reform. Mr. Allison spent the summer of 1874 mak ing an investigation of the affalra of the district and reported a bill for the future government of the district. It was adopted and the ordinances of the District of Co lumbia remain until this day and the af fairs are administered by three commis sioners, placing the national capital under a system of government almost exactly like that adopied by the city of Galveston several years ago and recently by Des Moines, the capital of our own state." In speaking of the recent services of Sen ator Allison, Senator Dolllver said: "The part that Iowa had In framing the meas ure for the' enlargement of the powers of the Interstate Commerce commission and supporting it In both houses of congress became the turning point In the most de cisive legislative controversy of our day. witn run knowledge of that conflict. In sieges or it, I cannot fall to accord all to Senator Allison the credit which his own modesty would never claim, of guiding the memorable struggle to the final and com plete victory of the president's policy. Mr. Roosevelt relied on no man In the senate with more perfect confidence than on Sona tor Allison, pay after day, night, after night, the president sought his counsel, and every vote which he cast and every amendment which he ofTered was In strict accord with the president's purpose and plans of action. Uninformed writers In terested in discrediting the legislation spread abroad the report that the Allison amendments were' a surrender to the enemies of the bill. They were nothing of the sort; they were drawn in consultation with the president's legal advisers, to per fect the legislation and to avoid the possi bility of reverses In the courts. In Line with President. "There are men who have peddled the nomination as governor, he denounced In scathing terms that report which was In circulation that he sought to supersede Senator Allison, as a mal.'cioua falsehood, set afloat by his enemies to injure, him with the people. He asked the support of (Senator Allison's nearest friends upon written assurances over his own signa ture that he favored the senator's re election and that reports to the contrary were calumnies. At the time of his nomi nation he filled the convention hall with enthusiasm by his reference to the sen ator. When he made the first speech of the campaign, which waa used as a campaign document, he spoke of '8enatpr Allison as the 'beloved Nestor of the party, not only In Iowa, but throughout the nation." " Key to tke Campaign. "It la only the exact truth to say that the whole campaign depended upon the distinct understanding that Senator AM- SPENT LAST EIGHT YEARS IN MISERY Boston Banker Says His Life Has been H"op less for that Length of Time- Carleton H.

It has required a rare spiritual grace for Senator Allison to keep silent while these roll calls have been used to point the moral of his delin quency.

Closing his address of 15,000 words with a atlnglng rebuke for the young men who would retire Senator Allison and forbid him passing away aa did Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, with the commission of the people still In his trembling fingers, Sena tor Dolllver paid the venerable senator a high tribute, saying: "I salute the old age of Senator Allison now that Gladstone Is no more the innst honored name In the politics of our times.

A few minutes before the case was c'led for trial the attorneys In the Scales-iJly-denburg case announced to ' the court that an amicable settlement had been ef fected and asked that the case be dismissed. This suddenly brought to a close a suit that gave promise of some sensational testimony. The case grew out of the first trial of Blydenburg for wife murder and Involved a big bill of Attorney Scales of Ackley for legal services and a fine sixty acre farm that belonged to Blydenburg be fore his trouble came on. It Is understood that at the time of the first trial Bly denburg made aome deal with hla attor neys, of which Scales was one, that he was to deed them his farm near Hi:bbard In this county as security for their fees. Blydenburg's conviction and Incarceration for three years In the state penitentiary followed and In the meantime Scales bought up the Interests of the other at torneys snd to all appearances secured a title to the farm. After Blydenburg's ac Quital at the second trial, a few months ago, he commenced suit In the district court to recover the farm, which he main tained was given merely as security for the payment of attorney's fees and not a bona fide deed. It Is stated In the settlement that Attorney Scales receives $1,300 snd Blydenburg his farm. A Fortunate Texan. E. W.

Farmers in the Southwest are getting rich on the increasing value of their farms. Not so very many years ago Illinois and Iowa land sold for ten "dollars an acre.

People nothing but people, and lots of them. History will repeat itself in the Southwest only if will not take so long. The Southwest is . growing very fast ; much faster than any other section of the United States. The land in the Southwest is just as good as Illinois, Iowa or Nebraska land. But there is more land than there are people, that's the only reason it's so cheap. How long do you think it will take the Southwest to get as many people to the farm acre as Illinois or Iowa have? Just about five years ten at the very outside. When that time comes you will have to pay just as much for land in the Southwest as you (wouId pay in Illinois or Iowa. Why not buy your farm in the Southwest now when you can get it cheap cheap enough for you to get a big one?
