Z Some surprise was treated today by.
the report that the iesdera ~ what war

having eeen the district slip away from
them, and having grown tired Of stand
ling alone, deeire TO effect an honorable
compromise In order that the two fac
tions may stand together for party
work.
The defeat Of A. B. ,Cummins for res
election as a member Of the national
committee bidsfair to be an issue OF the
present campaign. Many men who ops
posed Cummins for the United States
senate felt that he. was entitled to be
reelected to membership in the COM
mittee. These, and others who want to
see the senatorial matter dropped. are
now saying that If Cummins had been
accorded the eatment due him after
his defeat for the senate the present sit-
uation would be easy Of adjustment. 1t
was argued by members of the congress
IIsional delegation that no man who is a
istanding candidate for the Tinted
States senate should be elected to a
place on the national committee, where
funds and influence might be used to
further his ambitions. but the advocates
lofsa second term for Cummins say that
this theory, If carried to it's logical con-
clusion. would bar all mensin the lower
branch Of congress, who aspired to be
leected to the senate, as they, too, have
patronage and influence which might be
turned to account.

contest over the election Of n chairman

take the census.

will be shown to lead the world in this
line of religious work and tells the peo-
pie that some very startling figures
may be anticipated. He has spent
several motnlls arranging the canvass,
has mailed more than 100000 visitors
cards, and his office force is deluged
with applications for more cards by
mail and wire. He expects to have all
Isstatistics and figures compiled and
ready to be made public by June 90.
when the annual state Sunday school
convention will be held at creston.
4 Announcements for enumerators were
sent out about a month ago and the
call was published in about 800 Iowa
| newspapers.
