E. c. BROWN,
Railroad Commissioner.

umphal return of Mr.. Cummins to his
home city after his fight was the oc-
casion for demonstration in his favor
second only to that at Cedar Rapids af-
ter his nomination, by his enthusiastic
followers all over the state. Now here
at the state capital. there is real re-
joicing over the nomination of Cummins
and general satisfaction with the per-
of opposition had manifested itself to-
ward Cummins and Herriott in the past
appears to have entirely disappeared.
The Des Moines people returned on diff
ferent trains but are now all at home
and getting rested Even the democrats
realized that the work oune at Cedar
Rapids Will prevent them making their
promised campaign on state issues Col.
Eiboeck was asked what the democrats
would do. What is there to do: he
returned the question. II can't see but
what we might as we'll indorse Cum
minis and not make contest" He was
talking to two we'll known democrats at
the time. Il have talked with twenty
three democrats this afternoon" con-
tinued the colonel, "and every one of
them has said he will vote for Cum
Minis" And then the two he was talk
ing with declared they would also Vote
for Cummins-and that made twenty
five on his list. AS a matter of facl
Cummins will get third of the demo-
cratic vote in this city and will poll sew
enty-five per cent of the entire vote of
the county. And these are only straws
showing which way the wind is blowing
thus early in the game.
The democratic state central commit
tee is to meet here today and make
further arrangements for the democrat
ic state convention which is to be held
August 81. Chairman Huffman is on
hand and has asked that the commit
tee take up the resolutions which We're
referred to the committee by the Polk
county democrats some time ago, which
resolutions politely urge that Huffman
be moved off the earth-and he is asking
or demanding that the state committee
dispose of the matter promptly. There
is no doubt what will happen. The state
committee will pass vote of conf1-
6ence in Huffman or any orner thlng he
ocrats here, chiefly on account of one
printer not getting as much from the
committee as he wanted, does not worry
the state committee.
After the republican state convention
had done its work Ed c. Brown, of Shell
don. started for home. He was we'll
nigh worn out and wanted sleep very
much His friends figured it ou, that
they could go over to Tama and get to
bed and make the trip to Sheldon in the
morning nicely. AT Tama someone re-
marked that it took a. good deal of nerve
for Brown to come into Tama county TO
get rest after defeating the Tama coun-
ty candidate. That's all right" said
one of the party, It's the only town in
the state where they are not celebrat-
ing tonight, and We want Sleep"
Des Moines people now concede that
in the matter of handling state conyen-
tions our friends of Cedar Rapids are
beyond comparison. They did. every
thing except name the ticket and it was
not their fault they didn't do that.
The matter of the chairmanship of
the republican state committee will be
the. next interesting thing to come up.
The machine men control the commft-
tee, and they can select a chairman who
is not in sympathy with the ticket nom
mated and whose heart will not no into
the campaign, or they can do otherwise.
Nobody believes that any member of the
committee would prove untrue to- the
party or neglect anything that would be-
OF advantage to the ticket npr be
