After regretting the republican partr 1" Iowa had fallen Into factionalism, he de clared: "I have found from newspaper that th progressive are not denouncing Allison, but me'. I am willing to stand be- tween the gray-haired old man and un scrupulous politicians and say, "Let the blows fall upon me.' for while my tan!l has perhaps cost me my political life, you can never take away my seir respect. I .have read aince coming to town a document used by my opponent quoting m a having commended the administra tion of Governor Cummins. I have many time commended his administration, and I think It a good thing that t came Into the fight not a a bitter enemy of many years, but a friend trying to help him out of a political mess he ha pulled himself Into." And tha senator told how he first heard of opposition to Allison, how he e clared Cummin would never oppose All! son. how Cummins' friend o reported to Cummin and how Cummin wrote him let ter saying If Dolllver could not aid to remain neutral.

Incidentally President Hess called attention to the fact that the pro posed congress could not be run without fund, and that the people of Council Bluffs would expect Omaha to do It share In thla respect. Omaha Men Join In. Mr. Deyo. on behalf of the Omaha fruit men, said he was certain that the fruit grower, of his side of the river would do all they could to boost the proposition. Mr. Deyo and the other Omaha men pres ent said they would start the ball roll ing by becoming member, of the National Horticultural congress and subscribed their names and paid their Initiation fee.. Becretary Oeorge Reye of the congress reported a membership to date of 2S6, and President Hess explained that It waa the Intention to bring the membership list up to 2,000, or. If possible, 1,000. With a membership fee of II this would provide funds for getting the DroDosed conerex well under way. It was decided to prepare a circular let ter, which will be sent to every f.uk grower In the state of Iowa and adjacent states, as far as possible, setting forth the plan of the proposed congress and inviting membership. W. A. Saunders, who combines th nrc. tice of law with the growing of fruit, said he wa. firmly of the opinion that every fruit grower In Omaha and Douglas county should be Interested In the proposed con gress In Council Bluffs. Many people of the east, he said, had an Idea that no fruit worth mentioning was grown out In Iowa or Nebraska, and the proposed Hor ticultural congress would be an excellent opportunity to show to the country at large that fruit and good fruit wa. raised out here In considerable quantities. The congress, Mr. Saunder. .aid, would be the mean, of attracting eastern fruit buyers to this section of the country and would undoubtedly be the greatest advertisement for this section of the countrjf posrlwle. It was suggested by the Omaha Visitors that a committee from Council Bluffs can vass the fruit men across the river, and the following were named as the canvass ing committee: J. R. McPherson, Oeorge Reye, O. W. Skinner. T. A. Barker, Alex Wood and President J. P. Hess. The com mittee will go to Omaha Tuesday afternoon of next, week and will be met there by President Deyo and Manager Nelson of the Omaha Fruit Growers' association, who will escort the members around the city In their canvssslng tour of the fruit growers and others likely to be Interested In the fruit congress here. i STl'DENTS BOOATIXO FOR AMES Greatest Meetlna- of Kind In History of the College. AMES, la.. May 2. (Special.) Yester day afternoon college exerclnes were sus pended and at 3 o'clock there began the greatest "boohters' " meeting ever held at the Iowa Btat college. The auditorium wa taxed to It limit to hold tha great crowd of student and faculty and score stood up In the aisles near tha erltranc and In the gallery. Enthusiasm ran riot. Never before In the history of the col lege has Ames had such success as has come to It In th last year. But this suc cess ha been made under a great homil ies p and there ar a few essential things which Ames should have, and these are the things which Ame' boosters are de termined It shall have and that was the purpose of this meeting this afternoon, namely, to take definite steps towards securing these essentials. On thing which Ame nerds most Is more students strong, carable men of the typ which haa made Iowa State college famous in the past. Owing to the fsct that Ames graduates ar aa a rule called to activities In foreign lands and do not take up th work of teaching In smaller school In very great numbers, Ames U. perhaps, the most poorly advertised school nf Ita kind among the boya and girls from which th greater per cent of college student Is drswn. In the line of equipment tn crying need of the college Is a gymnasium. No other school of rank tn th country I without equipment of this kind, and It Is doubly to the credit of this college and h athletic trainers that such splen did teams have been put out under such a handicap. However, th chief Import ance of a gymnasium Is not from fh standpoint of athletic supremacy, Our aggressive athletes will see that th supremacy comes anyway, but the health and normal development of th student body a a whole demand that some means of physical training b provided for. In order 'to accomplish the. tan pur poses the .tudent. representing nearly every county In th state have gotten to gether and have formed organizations. The member of these county organiza tion, will work for a gymnasium by creating a sentiment In favor of It among the people. With the people on the right side the legislature will have to be. But another and perhaps more Important ob ject of these county organisations la along the line of publicity. Many of the county organizations have already determined to set aside a day for Ames day. All the student, and the alumni of Ame. will assemble at some convenient and pleasant place In the county and proceed to cele brate In good old college style. Much good ia expected from this feature of tha work. In connection with the boosters' meet ing was held the regular Installation of the "0, Cardinal guild. The new mem ber, are: H. K. Davis. A. H. Cunning ham. H. F. Lulck, H. W. Wagner, K. A. Kirkpatrlck, J. W. Davis, C. W. Okey, Fred Brugger and C. V." Gregory. This body was organized In 1904 and la self perpetuating. It I. composed entirely of seniors, representative men of the dif ferent branches of college activities, and Its purpose Is "to foster and advance a healthy and democratic college spirit at all times." The guild ha been very suc cessful In arbitrating difference both between the student body and faculty and between the different classes. IOWA NORMAL.
