Des Moines. June 1.-The complete
success of the efforts made by the
friends of Cummins to settle the bitter
fight in Kossuth county favorably to
the party and in manner that insures
! harmony in the party in that county
and the Tenth district, gives great en-
couragement to the Cummins people.
kossuth county had hard struggle.
but the information which comes here
thru private sources is to the effect that
all breaches have been nicely healed,
the delegation to the Cedar Rapids con-
ventioa is unitedly for Cumnins, Card
ner Cowles is certain for reelection to
I; the house, and the foundation is laid
for party harmony not only in that
county but in surrounding counties
| The troubles in Carroll will all be fixed
up in a short time. A strong effort
was made to beat Senator Garst by
I bringing out Osborn as a candidate
| against him. 1t was another proposed
| compromise" scheme to effect indrect-
! ". He refused 10 stand for the nonln-
| alton and Garst will be renominated
| and elected. There is a plain dispose
ton at this to recognize the Cummins
people as occupying band wagon posi-,

1 pears to make it easier for others. The
I success in securing Polk county solid
/ for Cummns made it possible to secure

that Madison and Warren will lie for

are putting UP hard fight in Madison
and are confident they will win. They
have abundance OF time for doing their
work, and indications now are that be-
fore the day of the primaries there will
be about as interesting fight there as
was put up in Carroll. Kossuth or Dali
4 las. Today's conventions, while they
will be far from all one way, will ma
terially add to the Cummins vote, and
, the Cummins people are now ready to
count up at moments notice more
than half enough to nominate. The at

mlns IS regarded generally as clever

4 The action of the Marshall county

missioner will be closely watched here
/ Mr.. Brown has many friends here
4 There has been talk that the friends of
4 Judge Ladd. whose term expires next
a year, are lukewarn toward Brown. but
in fact the judge is called into the coun-
cils With Brown when he comes to Des
Moines and he is loyal TO the Sheldon
candidate for railroad commissioner.
But with the fifth district having a
candidate for lieutenant governor and
two for railroad commissioner, there
would be complications which might
| change the situation here. The candi-
dacy of Mr. Brown has not aroused any
\ enthusiasm thru central Iowa 1t is
learned that the conferences between
substantial results and Tama county is
u determined on bringing out a candi-
date for lieutenant governor. The Polk
county delegation is not made up yet,
but will be guided largely by the inter-
ests of Mr.. Cummins in dealing with
the railroad commissioner question.
