Cedar Rapids, Ia, Aug. 6.-Amid a
mass of claims and counterclaims re-

convention between estimates that
radically differ and statements that
fatally contradict. one fact is evident,
the convention will be d battle-royal
from the start, with every candidate
whacking away at every other eandi-

particular changes in the lineup Mon
day morning, but the managers of all
the candidates claimed nothing but
pleasant dreams during the night.

has the best chance to win. but out of
all the list opposed to him nobody
can find man who has a chance to
lose.
The anti-Cummins men say that they

will prove an eye-opener to Cummins,
and they confidently predict that they

Delegates are pouring into the
town. and by Tuesday morning every
body will be here and the fight will be
on in earnest. At present, there is
nothing going ON save the usual wire
pulling which has so far developed
nothing new.
Shortly before noon Monday Candi-
dates Trewin, Hartman and Herriot
held 4 short conference with the OBJ

could oppose the Cummns strength.
All three denied that they had agreed
upon any one man to lead the opposi-

it necessary TO unite against him.
They did agree, however, to pool their
issues if such a step seemed necessary
and claim that they can control the
convention with $50 to 975 votes. Cum

er, is up against a streak Of hard luck.
About ten days ago he shipped car
load of fine horses to commission firm
in Galesburg, H., with whom he has
transacted much business and received
check in payment amounting to $500.
A few days after he presented his check
at the Citizens Bank for payment, but
before Clyde Dunning, cashier, had re-
ceived report from the clearing house
as to the financial standing of the firm,
Mr.. Clemens sent on another car of
horses. After the second shipment
had been made word was received chat
the commission firm was in poor finan-
cial straits and had failed, having con-
fessed judgment for large amount.
The shipment Of horses belonging to

OF $3 500. Accompanied by Clyde Dun
