It is understood that Vice President Roosevelt has agreed to speak at two political meetings in Iowa and William Greene Dows would like one of the meetings to be in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Albert Baird Cummins has agreed to the Cedar Rapids location. Dows understands that the attempted assassination of President McKinley will stop campaigning until McKinley’s recovery is assured. However, as soon as the date for Roosevelt’s trip is fixed he would like to know in order to “arrange for the greatest political demonstration Iowa has ever witnessed.”
