"In his great opening speech, 'the
effort of his lite,' Mr.. Cummins might
have explained to the voters of Iowa, or
have tried to, why, as member of the
general assembly of 1888, he voted
against senate file So, the antitrust
law, also why he opposed the provisions
of house file l13, providing for the semi.
monthly payment of wages to factory
employees; also why he opposed house
file 374, known as the maximum freight
bill; also why he opposed house file "a,
known as the 2.cent fare bill; and why
he opposed house file 25, bill aimed to
prevent combinations of insurance com.
panies; and why he has steadily OPP
posed the Cheshire measure for the
taxation of express, telegraph and state
questions, and Mr.. Cummlns may think
that, being packed by the united sup.
port of the corporations of the state
and by Mr.. McKlnley's majority OF
nearly 100000, he doesn't have to dis.
cuss state questions; but that he can, if
he pleases, devote his time to prepare
tons about the perihelion of the planets
or the possibility of prune culture in
the Philippines. But he may be mis-.
taken. Interview in the Des Moines
