Des Moines, Nov S.-Mr. A. b. Cum
Minis will go to Washington upon the
invitation of President Roosevelt, after
he speaks at the chamber of commerce
banquet in New York city, Nov 10. He
will be in Washington Nov. Il and ..
in all probability. Shortly after he be-
came president Mr.. Roosevelt invited
Mr.. Cummins to visit him in Washing
ton. Mr.. Cummins is a close personal
friend of President Roosevelt. At that
time Mr.. Cummins was in the midst of
his campaign and was unable to go. He
replied, however, that after election he
would be glad to go to Washington. He
has decided to combine his New York
trip with the Washington visit. These
are the only trips that he cotaemplates
in the near future.
Ever since the morning after election
Mr.. Cummins has been receiving letters
and kilograms of congratulation from
all over the country. A great many tel
egrams were received Wednesday. and
Thursday the letters began to come in
from all his friends everywhere in the
state. His mail has been something
enormous for the past day or two and
will continue 80 for the next few days.
His election as governor by the largest
plurality ever received by an Iowa gov
sernor is naturally a source of satisfac-
tion to him and all of his friends. Iowa
heads tine list as far as pluralities are
concerned this year. Congratulations
We're received, among others, from
President Roosevelt, Mark Hanna, Sec
retary Wilson, Governor Van SAINT, Sem
ator Beveridge, J. III. Manley and f. w.
Arnold. of Peoria.
For the next few days Mr.. Cummins
will devote his entire attention to his
business matters, which he has been
compelled to neglect Tor months, and to
which, during the campaign, he has
paid almost no attention. He has some
law cases on hand which must be dis
posed OF, and he is anxious to get at
workean them as soon as possible, His
time will be more than occupied III the
few weeks that elapse before he is in
augurated.
State Chairman Spence leaves for his
home at Mt. Ayr today He has busi-
ness affairs that demand his attention.
as court is about to open there. He
missed the term of court during the
campaign and is anxious to get settled
down to work again. He will probably
not be in Des Moines again for some
time. There will be no meeting of the
committee soon, as over month Will be
required to get all the affairs straight
ened up. AT the. end of that time a
of the executive committee will
probably be called, and possibly meet
ing of the whole committee. Mr..
Spence intended to leave Thursday eve
ming, but was unable TO get away until
this morning.
A meeting of the executive committee
of the republican county central COM
mittee will be held on Saturday to
up the affairs of the cam
paign. A large number of bills are to
up The finances of the committee are
be met promptly.
Politicians figure that East Des
Moines will gain in the next city con-
vention, according to the vote on gov
ernor this election. East Des Moines
cast S,O69 votes for A. B. Cummins I
while West Des Moines cast 4,542 Ac-
cording to the ratio of representation,
which is one for every 80 or fraction
over rs, and one for each precinct in adj
iition, this vote would give East Des
Moines rs delegates in the next city
and West Des Moines 107.
Two years ago West Des Moines had 1877
delegates and East Des Moines only 81.
This is a los of 30 for West Des Moines
and only Z for East Des Moines. In 9TH
ar words, the loss in representation is
.our times as great in West Des Moines
ls it is in East Des Moines. This may
nave a material effect on the nonlina
ion for mayor.
A FARMER SUICIDES.
