Special to Times-Republican
Des Moines May 20.-At least twelve
county conventions will be held in Iowa
this week, and Mr.. Cummins will get the
bulk of the delegates selected. He all
ready has 2l5 in sight, if Marshall coun-
ought to run the total TO over 800. On
Tuesday, Carroll, Bremen and Grundy
will hold conventions. Carroll will be
for Cummins and the others will favor
Hartman or Trewin. On Wednesday
the Poweshiek primaries will be held
and on Friday the convention at Brook
lyn. Poweshiek is confidently claimed
by the Cummins people. On Thursday
Guthrie county will meet and instruct
for John Herriott. The same day Sioux
county will choose delegates who VIII
favor Ed Brown for railroad commits
sioner and incidentally do all they can
to make Cummins governor. On Friday
there Will be two conventions besides
that in Brooklyn. Kosr,uth county will
choose Cummins men for delegates to
Cedar Rapids, and Taylor county Will
select delegates favorable to the candi-.
dacy of Judge Towner and probably ops
posed to Cummins for governor. on
Saturday there Will be II primary in
/ Delaware and conventions in Dickinson,
Humboldt and Ida. Three Of the co,in-
ties will be for Cunmins and one
| against him. From this it viii be seen
that the present week is likely to prove
even less encouraging to the antis than
the past week.
The fight in Dallas county being over
| there is nothing more to be done
I than to select in the county convention
/ neXt week the delegates who Will dc
most to secure. the nomination of A. B.
Cummins for governor, some of the Dali
!. las county politicians are trying to
/ make a reckoning of net results 1t
s was conceded by very one at the outset
that Dallas county would be favorab BILE
to Mr. Cummins. There were many rea-
sons fer this. Dallas county republi-
cans in other years were at the mercy OF
one of those organizations generally
/ called a court house ring, because %
many ex-county officials who had gath
