that it has been corrupt. That sis Just
What the Cummins propaganda asks the

afford It?
[Eldora IIerald.1
Hon. A. B. Cumming will lead all the
other candidates for governor in the
number of his delegates az he shall go
Into the republican state convention at
Cedar Rapids next Wednesday, and his
friends are, very sanguine that he will
be the nominee on perhaps the second or
third ballot. After all II II not always
safe to predict the outcome. Of political
convention where there are number OF
candidates seeking the nomination for
the same office. The chances are that
Cummins will be nominated, and yet he
may not. .ss
James Times.l
Next Wednesday, unless something
Should happen to prolong. the controver-
sy, the question Of who is to be the
standard bearer Of the republican party
for governor this fall Will be settled. It
looks now very much as tho there could
he but one outcome and that Will be the.
nomination of "A. B. Cummins, OF Des
Moines. The Cummins people have
surely put up fight that ought to win.
They have hustled the field for all there
was in 1t, while the opposition has been
scattered.
[Tama Free Press.l
The republican state convention will.
be held at Cedar Rapids next Wednes-
day. AS we write A. B. Cummins is the
leading candidate so far as instructed
and pledged votes are concerned. but it
is somewhat doubtful IL he viii be nomi-,
mated. There seems to be growing sem
timent in all sections that it will be
wisest and best to take up new man
entirely, one who can receive the sup
port of all factions, and thus Esure har-
| mony and aAcontinued large republican
majority. To our mind that will be
much more preferable than to keep alive
rhe present struggle and bitterness. We
| trust that the Tama county delegation
will conduct themselves creditably and
| cast their votes for the best interests of
the party.
4 Rockwell City Advocated
The Calhoun county delegation will
vote under instructions for Mr.. Cum
minis for governor, and the surface indi-
cations are that he will be nominated,
| probably not on the first ballot, but on
some later one. While the combined
1 opposition is considerably stronger than
the Cummins vote it will be a miracle of
/ political sagacity If the anti-Cummins
4 element is able to center all its strength
on one man without losing enough votes
to Cummins to nominate. The
Advocate believes, as 1t did in the be-
4 ginning, that the nomination of Mr..
Cummins would be best for the harmony
of the republican party and the good Of
the state. We can see no reason why
the selection Of either Hartman or
Trewin would harmonic the party more
than that of Cummins, for in either Of
these cases it would be the triumph of a
4 faction, and factionalism is what is
hurting republicanism in Iowa just now.
[Traer Star-Clipper.1
4 While half the Iowa papers have been
4 fighting and foaming over the governor
& ship the past three months the Star
4 Clipper has continued cool, calm and
!. collected, and has endured the hot
weather with splendid results. We have
not been for Cummins and do not be-
4 lteve he will be nominated, altho his
4 strength has developed thru desperate
Il effort beyond what we anticipated. We
are not particularly for any man. We
shall be well pleased with Conger, Har-
i r.n1an, Trewin or Herriott. We shall
support the nominee, whoever he may
be. We will have nothing to take back
in doing this.
rMarengo Republican,
4 The gentlemen selected to represent
i this county in the state convention are
all good republicans. and there is NO
ent that Mr.. Cummins can not be nomi-
!. mated. whom they will first support
that they should not then vote for and
i support the candidacy of honest old
John Herriott, who has many admirers
and supporters all over this county.

The republican state convention will
meet at Cedar Rapids next Wednesday
wren us ueEUefdllOIlS are over, a 1ul
ticket nominated and a platform
adopted expressing the convictions OF
the best party in the state upon ques-
; tons of policy, we shall hope and ex-
pect to see united republicanisn
working heartily and earnestly for sue
cess at the fall election. This paper
with strong and conscientious leaning
toward Mr.. Cummins. recognizes this
fact that the other candidates are mer
of character and ability, worthy ant

publican will with pleasure give then
its best support believing these gentle.

Iowa creditable administration ant

want to see him nominated, and also ex-
pect to see the republicans of Iowa rally
to his support. No other course is open
