NORMAL MAJORITY IN IOWA
Democrats Make No Inroads
Into
Republican Banks.
HARD TO DISTURB THE FARMERS
Workers Make Few
Predic
bnt tlons as to Oatrome,
Spend Their Time at
Work.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Oct. (Special.) Now
that the campaign Ity Iowa Is well started.
It can be predicted with every degree of
certainty that the republican majority In
Iowa this year will be about the normal
majority. There' tiivl; . been all sorts of
claims on tho part -of the democratic
maiiH-jers on the qolet-w, Borne republicans
have even been falrtt-' hearted at times.
There were reports that eight-tenths of
the traveling men of the state were for
Bryan and that the some per cent of the
labor vote is for Bryan. There have been
other reports that Bryan men were very
numerous over the atate, and the demo
crats are now claiming that Iowa will
go democratic and elect democratic presi
dential electors.- "
Whether the democrats really believe
this or not, they are working as though
they did and are sending Bryan to many
points in the state and much literature
from the national committee la being
sent out. The democrats started their
speaking campaign, early, as they always
do, which has made some republicans a
bit nervous.
As to the real conditions In Iowa, though
the republican speaking campaign began
only this week and Is nut under full
sway yet, there are very hopeful reports
reaching this -city from everywhere In
the state. In the first place, traveling
men are not agreed that eight-tenths of
their fraternity in Iowa are for Bryan.
There are representative men In that
profession who claim that tlnee-fouithi
of the men In Iowa are for Taft. The
fact that the democratic claims are dis
puted Is one hopeful slgrn if netting
more.
I.aborlnar Men Not Solid.
One c! the other claims was that the
laboring men of Iowa re almost solidly
for Bryan. There are aoout 30.000 labor
ing tutn, that la trades inlon men. In the
state of Iowa, and half, of them have al
ways bon more or iesa democratic. A
careful Inquiry haa disclosed that there
are a great muny laboring men In the
state who have alwr.y been republicans,
who are cstlll republicans and will vote I
for Taft. so at the wont the party can- I
not lose a great many votes among the j
laboring men. I
But there la every Indication that the
farmer vote of Iowa, which la the big
vote, Is as solidly republican as ever, and
has, furthermore, made gains from the
deinooj-uti. Senator Maytag of Newton
was in lies Moines yesterday. He told of
several farmers of his county who have
voted the democratic ticket for years and
thla year are going U vote for Taft.
Then there is the business element of
Iowa, which has elways shown a major
ity republican. There are no reliable re
ports but that the business men are go
ing to vote about us they have always
dono. There are reports of gains for
the republicans among the business men
of the state that are decidedly encour
aging. ,
Rer.ublisan leaders who are qualified to
speak, are rot making ' any predictions
particularly. They say that at this stage
of the campaign the thing to do is to work.
They are urging that the republican work
ers In every community get busy. They
point to the fact that In 1:93 in the eariy
stages of the campaign If the election had
been held McKlnley would have been de
feated, but the faralghted work of the
oommitttes swung the election.
Tiie largest vote ever polled at a presi
dential election In Iowa was In 1900. whtn
the total vcte was 630.3&6, and the next
largeat was In 1&90. when it wss 1 21, 547.
The question of what Is the normal republi
can majority hi Iowa Is one on which all
are not agreed. Governor Cummins made
the statement at the Auditorium In thla
city when Taft spoke here, that the ticket
would be elected by 75.000 majority.
Iowa's Record of Votes.
The presidential elections fur some cam
paigns back in Iowa show the following
votes:

The blfrgest democratic vote polled In the
state was the first campaign by Bryan
when he received 223.741 votes. Every
presidential year since then the democratic
vote has decreased and the republican vote
increased, though that of Roosevelt In 19III
was about the same as that of McKlnley
In 190.
Even If the democratic vote Is all
held
In line for Bryan this year, there
Is no
get to
politician who believes that he will get
exceed 200,000 votes, and as a matter of
fact that Is really above the normal demo
cratic majority if anything. At tho same
time there is nothing in the campaign that
would indicate any slump from the republi
cans that could possibly take them below
J60.000 If any proper and decent work, such
as the campaign committee la now doing
is kept up throughout the campaign. In
he minds of republicans the majority be
tween the republicans and democrata In
Iowa has been growing greater instead of
less and Is too great now to be wiped out.
The 307,000 for Roosevelt and McKlnley Is
not far above the normal republican vote
rind there Is no great national crisis that
could cause any great shake up In the
parties. The normal republican and demo
